Winston looked so cool… I love him…

Beliyal-2469 · April 15, 2019, 5:44pm

Maximillien though. I like how. I wonder how the strike team fails since Max is not captured and is very much alive and kicking in the future with his riches intact.

Gwadael-2617 · April 15, 2019, 5:53pm

Maximilien sold Akande in exchange for his freedom, probably…

You should go read Masquerade again, his interractions with Akande have a completely different taste now if you know he has betrayed him!

Beliyal-2469 · April 15, 2019, 5:55pm

Oh, that’s a good catch. I’ll have to re-read that.

Still bummed about no comic for Storm Rising. Or even better, a short story.

Gwadael-2617 · April 15, 2019, 6:05pm

Yeah, but if you go to look at what we already have, Retribution (and the rise of Maximilien, Akande and Vialli after Antonio’s death), Akande Origin story (his arrest by Winston, Genji and Tracer), and Masquerade (Akande getting out of prison and getting rid of Vialli), Storm Rising is the in between that’ll make sense, connect the dots. So we don’t really need a comic to explain what was already implied I guess?

Can’t wait to play the mission tomorrow to see if all the theories are correct!

But I’d love a comic, don’t get me wrong, especially from Overwatch perspective, and not AKande’s. Just to have a little more insight of what Overwatch was going through back then!

No skin reveal today? Hmm I guess later or tomorrow.

HourlyB-1310 · April 15, 2019, 7:06pm

Looking forward to doing PVE stuff again.
I always prefer that to PVP, honestly.
And hopefully it comes with more story.

Senzo-11710 · April 15, 2019, 7:07pm

Same! I hope the new interactions/lore is good!

HourlyB-1310 · April 15, 2019, 7:20pm

OFC, hopefully Mercy gets some development finally.

Senzo-11710 · April 15, 2019, 8:06pm

Ashe’s dynamite is actually a purse.

ROT10-21284 · April 15, 2019, 8:08pm

I love that. Though I’m also a bit miffed that this Archives event, they really didn’t care about following the lore, I guess. It’s just random skins. How are these related to the Archives event in any way? These look like Anniversary skins at this point.

HourlyB-1310 · April 15, 2019, 8:24pm

Yeah, I agree.
This deffo seems to be more of a Anniversary event right now.

Naz-11562 · April 15, 2019, 8:58pm

Like it, hate that it’s ashe. Hate that we don’t see bob

Senzo-11710 · April 15, 2019, 9:00pm

You could kind of see Bob on the Archives website.

Idocrase-11527 · April 15, 2019, 11:34pm

yeah what does the Bob look like

also I just thought about how I hadn’t seen you recently and forgot this lore section existed

anyways, how are you friend?

WOWOWOW Ashe’s skin sucks BUT THE BOB THO

Senzo-11710 · April 16, 2019, 5:25pm

Ahh I’m excited to play the event soon. I hope it’s good.

ROT10-21284 · April 16, 2019, 6:09pm

So there is no comic? Well, you can start panicking now.

Senzo-11710 · April 16, 2019, 6:11pm

Where is the comic. I actually got confused a few days ago because the illustration almost looked like a comic cover.

ROT10-21284 · April 16, 2019, 6:34pm

Oof that Talon omnic though. Have I ever mentioned how I loved robot dudes with ROBOT LONG HAIR/ROBOT DREADS. Yes, that is MY JAM.

So whoever that Talon omnic was, and Sojourn being confirmed to be the black woman with the white mohawk ponytail whatever, I think we have two new heroes to look out for.

ROT10-21284 · April 16, 2019, 6:46pm

The event looks really bad though…
