What a fun time it’s been. 3,003 hours later and I’m level 3,000

Final statistics:

Total playtime: 3,003hr
Most played hero: Pharah (750hr)
Games played: 21,195
Games won: 11,758
Time spent on fire: 276hr

Pharah has been a bittersweet hero to main but I don’t regret a second of it.

And I’m proud to say I never once grouped up with a Mercy in the past 5 years or held one hostage as a slave. Ya boy is a healthpack main :smirk:

I don’t think I’ll be playing any more of this game until OW2, except to hop on and buy new event cosmetics/do weekly challenges

I got almost every cosmetic already, and 972 unopened lootboxes + bunch of coins so I can just buy new event cosmetics that come out in future

If anyone else is around here working towards their infinity border, good luck!

This game has been such a huge part of my life so far and it feels strange to finally hit this goal after 5 and a half years. Guess I’ll find something else to play for now lol. Lost Ark lookin mighty cool :sunglasses:

I just want to hit diamond border, not even max level. I am just not sure it can be done even when you consider that Overwatch 2 is so far out. I need to somehow tap into that attitude of being able to play more than 3 games at a time.

The last we heard, borders are going away in OW2, which fills me with sadness after knowing how much work it takes to acquire one

It’s just a cosmetic, I wish they would keep them and let us turn them off/on in options, just like your profile

Gold is the most valuable metal!

It’s ok, I’ve been playing since 2016 and I’m still gold portrait, not even hit 1 star yet.

It’s because I haven’t had the time to play OW cause I was in school or I’d just get bored of the game.

(…and the billion of XP penalties I’d get cause Horizon Leaver Colony/Paris/Oasis exists…)

if you arent gonna play the game why bother buying another account

Huh? what do you mean

bruh we can see the level 16 bronze border

This is an old account I use for posting on forums lol. Few years ago I made a Brig-only QP-only challenge account but messed it up early on by getting a few seconds on Torb, so now I use it for forums

I can use my main account to post on here once the year 3,019 comes around :stuck_out_tongue:

Before you ask why I cant use my main account to post, I used to argue and debate A LOT about Brig, esp with very heated flanker mains around here, and they would start flagging all my topics nonstop. and it worked, permanently

Nice, godspeed my friend :100:
Towards the last 100 levels, I only found the strength to do 2 levels per day lol

The game has just lost a lot of it’s magic. I find myself always stopping for the day angrier than when I started

Congrats on maxing your portrait border!

Did you happen to notice the portrait border error that occurs around 2 or 3 stars in? Where it reverts back like 100 levels in its representation—until you acquire another 10 levels? It was a bug back in my day when I was working on my diamond border, and still wonder to this day if Blizzard ever fixed it.

I’m level 5327, according to Overbuff, but these days (for the last 6+ months!), even I can’t stand playing Overwatch for more than a few hours at a time.

Tell that to a lycan.

Are you saying around level 3,003ish, my border will lose all of its “wings” around the edge? Then they’ll come back after 3,010ish?

Dunno, I stopped playing soon as I saw “100” underneath my five stars lol, I probably wont level again unless there’s another event with weekly challenge skins

You’re an actual madman. I need a goal to work towards when playing games like this. Like the only thing I would possibly still play for is “reach 1000 hours on your main” or some other such long-term goal

No. It’s very possible that the bug was fixed. It was a long time ago when I experienced it (just months after the diamond border was added to the game), but from what I remember, around level 2600 (diamond, 2-star) or 2700 (diamond, 3-star), about the 10th or 20th level in (so 2610-2620, or 2710-2720), the border design erroneously fell back 100 levels, until you earned another 10 levels for the next graphic, which from there on, always displayed correctly.

As the saying goes, there’s always a bigger fish. About two weeks ago, Baja made a post about reaching level 3000, and I mentioned the same thing about my own level—and through a stroke of luck, ended up meeting Hatsumi92, a PSN player who has twice the number of hours as me, twice the game currency I have (they have 1 million credits!) and is quite possibly the second-highest level player in the entire game, next to TreeBoyDave.

Can be found in the final few posts:

Interestingly, they had the same interests I once did when I was more into Overwatch: tracking other players during the days of open profiles and seeing how we ranked in the play times ranks for our favorite heroes compared to other players, along with collecting loot boxes and eventually opening them. (I’m happy to say I still have at least the 1 of my 2 Hammond loot boxes left unopened. :sweat_smile:)
