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. |
If u are still looking for the early open beta key, u should try to snag one from reddit, its kinda long shot and requires nerves and fast fingers but i was lucky one to be fast enough
Yeah I've spent like three hours trying to do that aswell. No luck Oh well, I'll get to play it later anyways. Not worth spending so much time just for a couple of days worth of playtime.

They're fun stories. They're not award winning but they can be fun.
The stories are basic, which is the best you can do to not interfere with gameplay, unless you want 30 minutes of cutscenes for 10 minutes of gameplay. The many little secrets hidden are also something that makes Blizzard games that interesting. Of course its nothing for people that like to be feed a story, those should go for books or tv depending on what level of detail they want. To much effort to find the details and to many holes you have to fill yourself.

There are tons of youtube videos on youtube about the game's lore so theres always that for people who want to consume lore pretty easily.

Me and my friend got extra key. Shoot me a pm if you want one. (not sure if fd would share his but I would share mine)
|
If anyone has a friend key I would love it. Didn't realize there was a cut-off to get early access keys for Tuesday and per-ordered yesterday, sad times =(
|
Damn it I pre-ordered too late and missed the early open beta key, feelsbadman
|
Btw if anyone has a spare key I have either Prison Architect or Payday 2 to gift on steam if interested.
|
I have one good friend who gave me a key hype.
|
I figured I'd make a post on here advertising The Art of Warfare's upcoming OverWatch division. A lot of things have already been set in place for the release of the game. Feel free to google us and submit an application on our website if you're looking to play the game with a good group of guys.
We will also be having streaming events on May 2nd and 3rd on Overwatch where we will be giving away a few early access codes for OverWatch. Feel free to drop by for the streams.
|
+ Show Spoiler +hmm, it seems the person i shared the friend code with has a key from his friend already, so I still have my spare key, let me know if you want one. i did share it with a complete stranger on here though. but this is TL, so it's GENERALLY trustworthy. the key should still work 
Mod Edit - Key is gone stop pming him!

If someone want to play Diablo3 PTR, then you have to download the whole game (again) like you have installed two Diablo 3. Is Overwatch the same with open beta and original?

I only have one version of the game installed right now and its the closed beta. I havent been prompted for anymore full client downloads so probably not?
Now going from beta to full release - there I can't say. But if you were in beta before you probably dont need to do another full download.
|
I also tried the reddit thread without success. It seems you really need to be fast :D
Just wanted to try out the game before deciding if I'll buy it, never seem to have any luck getting into betas. So if anyone has a key I'd like to give it a try.
edit: Got one, thanks to Hider
