Jared Neuss chatting with SVB, (almost now, 11am PST)

Monetization
Quickplay vs Comp, Leaver penalty stuff
Collabs
How they collect crowd sourced info from players before fully launching content
PVE
Workshop
OW netflix or other franchise stuff
Console = big
What to expect in 2024, more beginning of year.
-Comp rework
-broader collab
-new modes
-experimentation core game

Well yeah, that’s a mechanic, but it’s not that replayable.

Did they explain why are they on their scrooge season? or they just tone deaf as always

SVB: thank you for that

The fact that my queue times for Archives were nearly instant even at the very end of OW1 says otherwise.
(And while it is fair to point out Archives only needs 4 players per match, it’s equally fair to point out that at the end it had what, 18-21 separate queues?)

He didn’t touch on the most important thing (Mac support)!

This is why the devs don’t engage with the forums anymore. Someone’s always ready to demand answers to broken “promises” that were never actually made or based on that player’s own wishful thinking or limited understanding of what the game actually is or was intended to be.

We, as a community, are seriously lacking in empathy for how the devs have tried to keep up with the constantly-evolving development process that came with OW2. I also wouldn’t want to have to spend all my time on the defensive for no good reason. It’s only practical for them to answer questions in pre-approved environments now. We did that.

the softball questions are of course what usually happens in the video game industry with triple A companies

the sad part it also happens to more important aspects of life… governments and politicians. thats the one that really bothers me lawl… dont really care about video games

Maybe cause devs have eroded any good will from the community with their tone deaf responses, bad balancing, greedy monetization and of course the broken promises you said they never made (Then whats the point of OW 2?)

It’s totally scripted, even the questions not only has to be approved by blizzard, but they actually send you questions to ask and last min, which is why stylosa stopped interviewing them.

Funnily they could spend some time approving their own execs before they tweet.

Lol so from the sounds of things the story missions are almost assuredly canceled. That’s cool.

They’re definitely going to be more commuicative though, even if the fanbase won’t like what they hear.

Watch all the question be about competitive and balance :expressionless: :yawning_face:
Nothing about stuff like PvE or big changes like BP redo etc

Can’t watch cos I’m on holiday in Nigeria and don’t want to use my data for videos. Tell me if I was right.

Empathy? They’re incompetent and haven’t delivered on so many things and the game still lacks tremendously basic features. They can only blame Mr. Bobby so much for their failures.

Respect is earned.

Remember when the devs used to replay in the forums? me neither.

fast publicity is more important than their playerbase apparently.

That’s because the forums are a really small minority,Reddit is where most of the discussions go on.

Gee. I wonder why.

Maybe because they never post here.

They probably have to sign something agreeing they won’t ask certain questions or they’ll be taken to court and obliterated into poverty.

It’s not just an OW thing,pretty much all games with official forums have way bigger communities on Reddit.
