The forums primarily use Markdown syntax to stylize your text but you can use some HTML script and BBCode Syntax as well, I have a detailed guide available in the World of Warcraft forums here:

Another thing I want to point out on my own behalf is that while I am creating video content for another game in development, I don’t consider myself actively creating content for Overwatch directly. With maybe the exception of balance change comparison videos, I rather use my own skills to generate support for everyone in the Overwatch community. This includes helping with tech issues, maintaining the dev post directory, helping with streaming reward drops and OWL token drops, etc.

I would also like to remind everyone, that forum MVPs which includes me are not representatives of Blizzard. You all can learn more about the MVP program in the link below. I have my own voice and my own opinions, but I tend to keep a wide-open understanding of the desires of the Overwatch Community Team and the Overwatch Development Team. There are parts that I don’t agree with in terms of the overall design philosophy of Overwatch, and right now I haven’t been playing much because there...

To help give a demonstration on why this is important, I have been creating video content for a different non-Blizzard game that is currently in development. No content creator there gets information in advance right now (though this is likely to change in the near-future as that game ramps closer to its launch). Right now, there was some news posted in that game’s official social channels, ...

As a quick reminder we know that Junkrat enjoys a milk boba tea, which he keeps in his canteen.

You do realize Aaron Keller has never posted on the forums right? Now that I think about it I don’t think we’ve had a single Orange Post since Jeff Kaplan left.

Yep, and replies like that are more or less an attempt to make sure everyone stays on the same page. I also wrote out a facts list in a separate topic about today’s news. I did that more or less as setting the realistic expectations I think we should have for Blizzard (both in the short term and long term). This news is jarring today, and I feel passionately involved, but that is because I have invested so many hours of playtime into Blizzard’s games and I have strong friends for many of their team members. So it is my hope that anything I express on these forums is done so under the expectation that you the community can learn a greater understanding of how Overwatch continues to grow as a game.

Let’s also be clear, there are time...

Let me make sure I am very clear about this, if an opportunity is available for me to join Blizzard and I know I can make a difference, I will try to pursue it. I have applied for many positions in the past and I know I have the support of many of Blizzard’s current and past team members. However, it still comes down to making sure the best people fill their needed roles, and I want my experience to be fairly compared to others with relatable skills. I have no regrets not being presented with an opportunity to join Blizzard, instead, I often gain more insight and experience.

Right now, you may notice there is a Community Manager role position ...

Be all like…

I am someone who has been taking the time to expand my career skills in hopes of finding an opportunity to work in community management, I can absolutely assure you that is not the case. I have a mentor who is the community lead for another video game that I am following with great interest and she has been instrumental in helping me learn everything about what she does and how it impacts the development of a game.

Video game community management is not just being a voice on official channels for a given game. You need skills in copywriting, graphic design, social media platforms, Agile/SCRUM/Jira, Google SEO Analytics, content creator outreach, and so much more. Not to mention you need to have a strong interest in the game you are a CM for AND be willing to put yourself in the line of fire of flames and trolling that occurs on channels like these forums.

So please, I ask you to carefully consider that you take the time to understand that what community managers do is ...

Andy is the community lead for the Overwatch community team. Which does mean he has a lot of responsibilities which go beyond participating on the forums. Don’t worry he is around, but I think it’s very important to understand that a community manager has a lot of tasks that we don’t get to see from our view.

Welcome to the forum community!

It was re-enabled to my knowledge after fixing the bug. I will check though.

Hey guys as a quick reminder if you have evidence of users abusing any exploits, its better to send it in an email to [email protected].

As a comparison, it took 6 days to make the March Community ExC video, but thankfully 4 of those days I got in advance BEFORE the patch went live because we got the patch notes in advance, so I was able to prep the graphics and the Live patch gameplay.

Greeting everyone,

Just as a quick FYI, I will not be working on my usual Experimental vs Live comparison video that I post on my YouTube channel. The reason being is that I didn’t expect this coming, and with virtually every hero being tweaked it would take days to prepare.

Thanks for your understanding.

Maybe if I can finish some other projects, I might have time to get one done before the end of the ExC, but no promises.

Thanks for your understanding.

How about a more simple yes or no question, will there be any juicy lore? I am personally starving for some Overwatch lore.

Hey everyone, I have now included a video showing the raw changes between Live and Experimental

Which skin?

Mei will not appear right away due to a separate issue with issuing this month’s Contenders rewards. It is anticipated that specific skin will be accessible on the release of the Halloween Terror patch (but it may be later).

Based on how I am seeing the occasional reports of individual users getting their items back, they might be fixing each affected account one at a time (I could be wrong on that).

So everyone, please be patient! Thanks for reporting in!
