FYI, we had allotted 11:00 - 13:00 for this (meaning we blocked time out on the team’s schedules to dedicate to the AuAA). Since we still had technical issues by the end of that time, the team is posting responses as they can between meetings throughout the day, including this new update from Josh about Mercy.
We mentioned in the blog that we agree that the system doesn’t feel as rewarding and informative as we all need it to be. The steps outlined (moving updates to 5 wins, MM improvements, etc) should be viewed as preliminary, with the understanding that the comp system in general is a high priority for the System Design team.
We’ll continue to communicate about this, and other issues, regularly and as we have meaningful updates.
Since introducing Defense Matrix, our new initiative to stop disruptive players in Overwatch 2, we’ve successfully taken action on thousands of accounts that we’ve found to violate the Blizzard In-Game Code of Conduct.
We have continued to listen to player feedback and evaluate our barriers of entry that can prevent players from being able to join. As a result, we’re making a new change to our SMS Protect Requirements to play Overwatch 2 starting with today’s patch. Effective immediately, anyone with an eligible prepaid phone can now register their number on their ...
Read moreHiya folks,
In order to give players more options in how they purchase cosmetic items, we have enabled individual purchasing of most items contained within featured shop bundles, including skins and weapon charms. Though we believe bundles represent great value for players who want to buy all the included items, we understand that some players may want to purchase certain bundled items separately at their full price.
This change is now live in the game across all regions.
Thanks, and we’ll see you in game
With several weeks in the books, we’ve been so humbled and honored that over 25 million players have answered the call to Overwatch 2. With the live service now more stable, we’d like to take some time to focus on what we have planned for Hero balance in an upcoming game update, prior to the changes that we have planned for Season 2 (something we’ll have more to say on later).
While we talked about our plans for Season 2 in our previous Dev Blog, there are some Hero balance adjustments we’d like to make sooner. As promised, we’re focused on some t...
Read moreWe spoke to the Sound Design team about this, and we’re going to address this in a future game update, hopefully addressing the discomfort you’re experiencing.
Please keep an eye on game updates notes to know when this change has been implemented!
Hiya folks,
We have temporarily disabled Junkertown in all queues queues due to a bug that was causing graphic performance issues. Our goal is to re-enable the map, along with Torbjorn and Bastion, with our next planned update on October 25th
Our apologies for the inconvenience and thank you for your continued support
People are still working on the issue.
Hi folks,
No additional updates to share tonight (it is 12:18 AM as of this post). The community team will keep checking in on things in the forum first thing in the morning, and we’ll update you as we’re able.
For those still waiting, thank you
Still here folks. Unfortunately no update to share as of yet.
No ETA to currently share. We’ll share more info as we’re able to, and I’ll be here until then.
This isn’t the experience we wanted some folks to have today, and yes, this sucks…and we’re working on it
We’ve also been working on an issue with items missing for some folks.
We’ll be updating the known issues thread for this and other bugs.
Hiya folks,
I’m glad to see many of you posting that you’re making it in.
We’re still working on the issue and continuing to make progress. We know you’re excited to play, and we want to get everyone in game ASAP. We will share updates as we are able
Hiya folks,
The team is investigating this issue currently. Thanks for the reports and apologies to anyone who may have been worried by this.
As we prepare to welcome new and returning heroes with the launch of Overwatch 2 on October 4th, we have a quick update about forum access post launch.
At launch, access to discussion channels will only be available to players who previously owned Overwatch. Anyone with a valid Overwatch license, including those who bought the Watchpoint pack before October 4th, will continue to be able to access all discussion channels. We will be adding functionality in an upcoming update that will grant forum access to new players based on reaching certain milestones in-game. Anyone with a Battle.net account will continue to have access to the Technical-Support and Bug-Report channels, to report any issues with installing or playing Overwatch 2, in addition to our regular support tickets through the Customer Support Portal.
Thank you and we’ll see you in-game!
obrigado
