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. | ||

Re: wallhack ultimate. It doesn't remove all skill per se, I'd say it switches the skillset applied instead (with maybe a reduction in skill ceiling too). Ult sounds are global (they're also the same whatever the user's team, welp), so if an enemy Widowmaker activates her ult you know they can see you. So it's on you to play around it. I'm more annoyed by Bastion's and Soldier 76's ults. I know Soldier 76's, McCree's and D. Va's are all partly about zoning (since all 3 are countered by diving behind cover for the duration) so they're not very interesting. It's more about satisfying the user than the enemy, but they're too similar for my tastes. However, on the basic principle (use it when you want to clear a path/stall by making the enemy take cover) having one of this type creates some dynamics in the gameplay. | ||

Now, especially on consoles, you'll have all the CoD, and CS:GO, and TF2, etc. even if they're different games, they're FPS at the core so there'll be some overlap. Re: wallhack ultimate.

It being higher then your average shows pretty well that you imrpoved. O never mind i just realized from whom the original post came >.< . It is good to know though that they probably will implenent a kill feed. Was also nice to see the the one EU tournament casted by esl casters. Even though one team stomped everyone. | ||

A kill feed would be nice, however. | ||

And sorry that we can only really talk about what actually exists right now, promises don't count for anything. Maybe it will get better in 6 months, maybe not. If any criticism is answered with "hey we are in beta they will SURELY change that!" then maybe your expectations are simply too low. This is blizzard we are talking about, not some indie game studio with no ressources. | ||

Ranked mode? Who needs that crap? A real scoreboard after the game? That would only increase toxicity! 5 minute games are totally fine!! People who are content no matter what are the worst thing ever. Call it bitching if you want, i am sorry for having an actual opinion on things instead of being a sheep.

But the two are only tangentially related. A kill feed would be nice, however. And this is still wrong. Elo is the best statistic we have about improvement, even if you don't like it | ||

Call it bitching if you want, i am sorry for having an actual opinion on things instead of being a sheep. What the actual fuck is your problem. No one is saying it's fine. Because no one believes that the game is going to ship like this. Time and fucking time again you seem to have no idea what the word *BETA* means. It means it's not the finished game. It's like looking at a nice cut of raw meat and then screaming that you wouldn't eat it. Of course you wouldn't, it hasn't been prepared or cooked yet. But we can comment that the meat is good and will eventually be made into a nice steak. We would literally all be on your side if Blizzard said that what is being played right now is the game that they're going to ship for $40-$60. But that's not what's going to happen. That's not what a beta is. So fucking stop. | ||

Very creative indeed. Blizzard already said they aren't sure if they can ship the game with ranked mode. Like that's literally one of the most basic things competetive games have these days. But everything will be fine! Criticism in the beta is bad because it isn't the finished game!!!!!11 What kind of stupid logic is that. If anything people should be extremely criticial right now so blizzard actually gives a damn. | ||

In short: Bitching about the same shit over and over doesn’t mean people are going to give a shit. | ||

If anything people should be extremely criticial right now so blizzard actually gives a damn. 4 weeks into a 8 month beta? Yeah, that's pointless. When it gets to April and they still don't have anything, start complaining. Criticize things that exist but are implemented poorly. They know it's not finished, we know it's not finished, everyone knows it's not finished. Your bitching will not make it any less so. | ||

Also, the game is played on 20 tickrate, has no scoreboard, and is made by the same company whose latest offerings are Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm. While there may be a competitive scene, it will be designed from the ground up to be a casual game, so don't expect a lot of support from Blizzard in that regard. | ||
