That’s almost objectively false; we have more PvP and PvE content than ever, better lighting, better graphics, UI, fixes to MM, etc etc. You don’t have to like it but OW2 is an upgrade in many areas.
It’s very disingenuous to pretend lootboxes in Overwatch 1 weren’t significantly more problematic and predatory than season passes and expensive WYSIWYG cosmetics. To the extent that the EU and others were stepping in with big legal heft to tackle the lootbox issue. Blizzard (like Psyonix and co) could no longer use loot boxes to finance development and maintenance.
Genuine criticisms regarding OW2 are being drowned out with that kind of rhetoric.
But you did do it for nothing. As expected, they already disregarded it in this post. As they should tbh.
Good Supports should be strong heroes too that’s one of the main goals of adding new characters to the role, to make it fun and desireable. That should be the goal with all new hero additions.
Now she will get tuned back a bit on her pylon and ult and she will still hopefully be fun and impactful
This reads like youre only talking to streamers as your core playerbase.
I know streamers are important players, but this feels very detached from the ovberall playerbase. You dont adress the issues which were mentioned in regards to the PvE missions at all.
Talk about the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, in a structured, clear way so it feels transparent.
You don’t need to sell the idea that Overwatch 2 is getting good feedback as if that’s the overarching message right at the beginning.
If you literally just stated the things that are bad, people would trust more.
For instance, one of the reasons you can’t get a legendary run done is because you can barely get a game without bots, which are simply impossible to complete the mode with.
This is a major concern because it makes us feel like no one bought the Story Missions and makes us less likely to buy in the future.
Flash Point has potential, but the mobility gap between the most and least mobile heroes really needs to be considered more when designing game modes. Low mobility heroes spend too much time walking to and from objectives in Flash Point. It would help the game mode a lot if something was done to reduce the walking simulator feeling slow heroes get.
Review bombing the game on steam with memes and unserious posts is not going to accomplish anything, correct
As they said in the Blog Post, what are they supposed to do? Go back in time and have upper management not cancel PvE and mismanage the game? They physically can’t do that no one has invented time travel yet
Like they said, all they can do is keep updating the game and adding content and systems. And when they do that in a big update like this current season, which is the biggest OW content drop for a patch ever, all they get in return is negative review bombing for something that physically is not happening and can’t be changed.
worse balance
more bugs
worse sound mix
worse events
less rewarding feeling after finishing games
on fire got deleted and added again
heroes behind a grind/paywall
lot’s of maps are gone
manipulating peoples mind with FOMO and overpriced skins
they literally lied to us for a year
OW1 felt much more rewarding with the SR gain, the lootboxes you got with every level up, you actually had the chance to get the skins for free, now they’re LOCKED behind a paywall.
But yeah bro, keep defending this company, your comments are a joke to me.
I seriously hope they didn’t see the steam reviews and only come away with the impression that it was because of the PVE scale back. I hope that conclusion was just corp speak, and they actually realize the precarious situation the game is approaching.
Which kind of says it all, doesn’t it? They truly and honestly deserve every bit of negative review they receive on Steam.
Everyone has a breaking point and this community have gone beyond that point now with the lies, the delays, more lies and corporate nonsense.
The only echo chamber here are the one the shills and white knights are creating.
This has got to be the worst hot take i have ever seen next to the director’s take…
Fixes to MM? What fixes? They have made it significantly worse.
Overall it’s a downgrade. That’s an objective fact.
Genuine criticism for OW2 on this forum are being shut down by shills and white knights where they log on multiple alt accounts to get anyone who posts anything negative, be it feedback or valid criticism, banned and silenced. That is one of the main reason for the review ‘bombing’ on Steam. You nor the other white knights can’t touch us there, and neither can Blizzard.
Supports should be strong heroes too that’s one of the main goals of adding new characters to the role, to make it fun and desireable. That should be the goal with all new hero additions.
