Hey there, we’re sorry Wrecking Ball has been MIA on XB1. We have a fix going into certification now and we’re targeting Monday to have him back.

Thanks for being so patient while we working through this one, it was a gnarly one.

Cheers

Fascinating…

Nice to get some new game development insight again. Probably will sort this tidbit into General Hero Balance or Development Challenges on the dev post directory.

Has there ever been any consideration of an ability to disable enemies primary fire, similar to how Sombra can cancel abilities? Not to say that is a good idea, I’m just curious if it is ever experimented with in hero prototyping.

For example I could think of an ability, that fires like a slow moving projectile (like Pharah rockets slow) and on impact any targets in splash would have like four seconds disabled from being able to use primary fire.

Sounds cool! I actually made a prototype of an ability like this in the past.

In the use cases where it works it’s interesting as a disarm or anti-heal and it has some strong team play elements given that they could break you out of a “soft” crowd control effect.

Unfortunately it comes with a lot of problems to solve, is highly situational in its use, and is a rather difficult ability to tune. Not to say that we’ll never try it again, but it’s certainly tricky.

We’ve made a change to fix this issue, please let us know here if you’re still having problems. Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for the heads up. Is this only on consoles? All of the reports I have seen is just console versions.

I was just informed its Xbox platform only.

Hey folks we’re looking into this issue. Apologies for the hassle, we’ll post more information in this thread once we have it.

This sounds like an account issue if you recently purchased Overwatch Legendary Edition. If you own the Xbox Disc version, uninstall the game, then reinstall it from the disc.
