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. |

It sounds like you were using your email to check for an invite? The email is delayed by at least a couple of hours. Account activation is instant, so the fastest way to check is to look at your Battle.net Desktop App or your Battle.net Account page.

i checked my bnet at the same time when i had checked my email when I saw the post, i hadn't gotten in as I have been checking it everytime i check my email for it.
Also... Genji is SUPER fun.... his movement is like Hanzo's wallclimb..but better.
And he makes bastion even more useless. And he is super mobile/fun to play, making champs like trobjurn and bastion even weaker than they were before the new champ
Genji is hardcounter to Reaper ult...u can reflect reaper ult right back at him and 1shot him with it

Gotta love when the new waves go out. 24 final blows and 3 deaths, and we still lose the defense in 5 minutes because people don't know how to play the objective

Since the last wave i got bugs i didn't before though (player models invisible, loading the game till it already starts) which is kinda annoying

I agree, defending is way easier considering the spawns are right next to the point for defenders, and a long ways for the attackers. The whole contested mechanic also makes it so that if you trade evenly as defenders you'll eventually regain control of the area due to the closer reinforcements.
Kings row is a perfect example of this, it's so hard to push down that final hill as attackers because there's an endless stream of defenders coming at you.

Ah, yes, it must be so hard for you for more people to be getting in 
Don't mind me, just taking my daily dose of salt.

And D.Va can block your reflect so Reaper eventually murders you with it .

Are new players flamed a lot in comms?

Closed Beta! Wish it was for PS4. Has anyone mod-ed a controller to work with the game yet?

You can use any controller for the game the devs said at the Q&A

Mei is SOOOOO fun/op to play... on some maps she can literally hold 1v5 almost indefinitely.
I will be amazed if we dont see her Cd's lengthened. With her Iceblock and IceWall and such short cd's u can almost keep either of them up permanently, really slowing down an enemy push. Her only drawback is no movement mechanic...but her cool utility spells make up for it imo.

Sucks in a way, but if playing on console works for you then that's better than not being able to play it at all^^ I have no experience with motion sickness, but overwatch is no quake either and there are quite a few characters which aren't all over the place movement wise.

Motion sickness does prohibit people from playing some games on PC. We are only going to hear more about that when VR becomes more prevalent. Though from the sounds of it that stuff makes everyone sick if the camera moves to fast.

Its impressive how long I can last depending on the art style and programming of games people have create, if you have the right frame rate it is not so terrible. Of course, after an extended period of any oculus game I do get pretty warn down.

Of course, after an extended period of any oculus game I do get pretty warn down. That’s kinda awesome. I hear it is good for flight sims, but some people were talking about making Mirror’s Edge 2 VR ready and the Oculus folks just laughed. Taking away camera control fucks people up super fast apparently. The same with sims of being at the edge of a building, which can trigger vertigo. If someone played Tracer in VR, they might vomit after a couple deaths.
VR: Likely not going to be used for anything you thought it was going to be used for.

For normal games there just has to be an option to turn off common "features" like motion blur and head-bobbing, as well as implement fov settings (no fov is not a balance concern don't even start with me braaaaahs).
