New PvE was surprisingly okay. At least in comparison with what we had before (regurgitated castle defence). The transitions, dialogues, boss battles took an upgrade, which is good to see. And I REALLY liked that we had to explore the whole map, instead of a tiny zone in front of the gates.
Alright, that’s up for the good side.
And now…
- The rewards we got for doing challenges in PvE are some voice lines, sprays and all that dingle-danglery without considerable worth. And, OF COURSE, the BP exp. Oh, you do not have paid one? Well, sucks to be you!
- Following 1st point, the event, even with those challenges is the same “whack-a-bunch-of-dummy-bots” game. Nothing exciting and it gets repetitive really guick, especially because you can’t earn any skins for that. The reward for completing Wrath of the Bride on Legendary difficulty is also BP exp. B R U H
- Only two new skins… Really? And I am more than sure, the Reaper one you gave everyone for free was supposed to be in a bundle too. WHERE IS THE CONTENT?
- New PvE event can only be experienced with 4 heroes only. At least give us alternative mode without special dialogues but with more heroes available, come on!
So, that’s it. While the PvE aspect got better, there’s still a lot of work to be done for it to be interesting and replayable.
Outside of that, Halloween is a huge disappointment. There next to no content in this event, and most of it is behind paywall. Like, what are players supposed to do after completing the PvE? “Do stupid challenges, win stupid prizes”, right?
I want Overwatch to succeed, but looking at such events, I have only one question -
What were you doing for 3 years?

The new PVE event is indeed fun, however it gets old fast. Waiting for dialog to end during the mission becomes annoying after a couple of tries. Hopefully the OW2 PVE stuff will keep us (read: me) interested for more than an hour.

Oh, it better do. Becuase it is supposed to be sold as paid content, so if they will screw this one up, it will directly affect their income. And there’s nothing more important for current ActiBlizzard than getting money, so…
I’ve been asking this for the past several months and just got replied with “They are working on OW2 bro!”. Like it’s some new game or something. Well m, now I’m still asking, just like you are.
WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS BLIZZARD?

Considering this event was supposed to be a “preview” of the new PVE system… Yeah wouldn’t hold my breath.

Its terrible… why did they not just kept the 1 epic skin per week and the sprays for event challenges? How can they mess up the event so badly???
the event was fine, it felt like the 4th archive event we never got, but if this is a taste of the pve i’m seriously wondering how they’ll keep it as something people will play over and over.
the rest of the event is abysmal tho, you get a grand total of a charm and a few voicelines. That’s it.
and the skin is priced $26 even tho you can’t buy $26 worth of coins, you need to buy at least $30.
they are working on Overprice 2

Played mode once again - noticed the lack of new animations.
Interacting with objects - simply standing still. Raising someone - you just stare at them. Sombra trying to pull the switch - her frozen hacking animation.
Remember during first Uprising each character had unique animation when raising a downed teammate?
Also, this resurrecting drone fits so well with magical design of the event /s
Totally cannot fit a potion or a spell instead, right?
How lazy are you over there, Blizzard?
Only 4 characters. The other events had all the characters with unique voicelines for each one. They’ve gotten lazier.
