Is OW 2 more of a PvE game or PvP game?

General Discussion

Holy cow!!! I can’t believe it!!

36

will there be any sort of solo gameplay? im thinking something like the mage tower for different characters in the game could be pretty cool, even if the main game is made more for multiplayer. i really enjoyed the challenge in those when i was playing wow, and it felt kind of nice somehow to know that every time i fail at completing it i can only blame myself :grin:

Jeff, I just love you so freaking much dude!

Keep up the communication! ;D

I’m certainly hoping the hero missions will be fun enough and have enough variety that I will want to play them again and again.

But, maybe it will end up being a gateway for him into the pvp, like the announcement was for me.

Will 3 heroes still be added per year when OW2 hits or will the inclusion of each hero requiring PVE talents slow down the pace of new heroes?

So, your repeatable missions are like Bounties in D3 or World Quests in WoW? Neither of which are inspired or very repeatable, enjoyment wise, past the first week or so.

Okay then. Thanks for the heads up.

And a co-op PvE can, and is, often called a campaign. But they are usually meaty and of some length, ala Borderlands. So, is OW2 a campaign, or just a small linear story?

What do you envision as the average play length, in hours, to get through your OW2 linear story?

Content creators are about to drop new vids with clickbait titles + thumbnails using this line in 3… 2… 1… :joy:

But for real though. Are you guys going to keep certain heroes PvE or PvP EXCLUSIVE?

Overwatch 2 should just be an expansion to the original game. Seriously, it reuses enough assets, and could easily be added into the current game after everything is done and done. I’d rather pay a $30-40 expansion instead of a $60 game, that should’ve had all this stuff from the start. PvE outside of annual events (for example) were requested from the beginning not long after the first Halloween event.

COuld you clarify this? Are there going to be PvE only playable heroes, that can’t be used in PvP?

And on a similar note, after OW2 is released, are new heroes going to be released with their own full story quests in the PvE on their release? Or are those going to be put in in later updates?

Speaking of new heroes, Jeff can y’all please release us a new hero now? It’s been 6 months and we haven’t had any new content. We really should have had a new hero by now. My fear is all the new heroes we will be getting at OW2 are just the ones we would have gotten sooner but their being backlogged to save up content. We are coming up on when we would have gotten a second hero… :confused:

Also please give us a chloromancer in ow2!

We can’t wait for Echo to be released next :cry:

51

It was part of the Bastion brick challenge I am pretty sure.

52

I might be asking for too much Jeff…but umm…

Can we please try out the Push game mode?

Like, instead of a new archives mission this year, you could put Push in the arcade along with the Toronto map temporarily for 3 weeks until the event ends? pretty please :wink:

Please let the replayability contain SHOOTERLOOTER STUFF that augments the effectiveness of certain hero abilities (in pve only ofc)! I lose my soul in those kinds of games until I max out - that to me equals replayability :slight_smile:

Got bad news. I think it was an exclusive icon you get from the Lego Bastion challenge.
