Please be advised:

We will be closing this General thread in 24 hours. It will remain searchable.

After that we will require new threads to discuss topics.

Questions should go in the stickied Q&A thread, screenshots and PotG will go in the PotG sticky, QQ/Rage/Complaints should go in the QQ/Rage thread. If you want to talk about maps or strategies open a new thread.

Any comments or concerns will be logged please forward them to ZeromuS. This new forum is still fluid so we will try this out. General TL rules will still apply to new threads.

Good on blizzard tbh.


Really nice video, and they've already implemented a lot of those minor features he was talking about.

What's the point of the final cards that you vote on at the end of the game though? I get that it's a little extra recognition/ pride boost for you, but is there any in-game benefit? Is it related to extra XP or loot boxes or other things?

It has entirely no consequence, just a little "I think you did good" praise.


Ah okay, thanks!

They were thinking to do more with it, but I doubt they find a way to do it without increasing the salt levels to not vote. Always awesome to see someone make Legendary since its so rare.

the biggest feedback i'm getting from console guys is there is just not enough content to justify $60 USD.

I don't know how they expect to get $60 out of the consolers, when I'm now, after playing the BETA, questioning the $40 I'll have to spend for me to play it on my PC.

Don't blame them, and I think Blizzard kinda agrees with them as well but they cant sell it for 40 on consoles for whatever reason.

prolly because Sony and MS gets a piece and then the seller of the physical box also gets a piece. so i think when Blizz sells a console game for $60 they get less than $40. I know Steam takes 30% to sell a game. A brick and mortar store must be the same or more.

The same way every gaming franchise squeezes $60+ out of every game they sell, even before they could update/ patch/ add new content?

then after that they embrace the IP around the game.

ATVI thinks they can just announce "hey we've got a new amazing universe" and everyone will flock to it like they are Led Zeppelin announcing their 10th album/disc/cd.

that strat didn't work for Destiny and it won't work for Overwatch.

ATVI is putting the cart before the horse.

Blizzard games have people flock to them because Blizzard holds itself to a certain standard of quality.

Heroes of the Storm should be overtaking LoL and Dota2 any day now. WoW subscriptions are so high now that #s do not exist that can describe how high the subscriber total is ; as a result, ATVI is no longer announcing WoW subscriber #s.

it'll be interesting to see how Overwatch does compared to their most recent console/pc release Diablo3.

WoW set so many standards and is probably still the biggest MMO out there even though the genre is dwindling.

I don't think anyone ever expected Heroes to overtake LoL and DotA2.

I don't think Blizz expects OW to beat CSGO player numbers either tbh.

I can see how console players don't see as much value for the dollar but people will buy it when the price comes down, and there is a used game market. People who like class based shooters like TF2 will play this. And there are those people who now own consoles and not PCs that can run the game so there will be a market.

yep, when Blizzard is making one game at a time they're capable of creating an absolute masterpiece.
the quality has slipped slightly now that they are working on 6 games concurrently.

At the time Hearthstone was released they were working on WoW, SC2, Heroes of the Storm, Diablo 3 and Overwatch.
Oh wait thats 6 aswell.

its interesting that a few people are defending HotS (Heroes) and Overwatch by saying that nothing much is expected of them.

it brings to mind this article in forbes.

Uh, a lot is expected of Overwatch, I honestly think it's going to dominate the class based shooter market. The problem is that the more realistic shooters (CSGO, COD) are the big ones right now and it's yet to be seen whether OW is enough to break out the class based shooter genre from obscurity or not.
