{MEGATHREAD} Console Players Still Feeling like 2nd Class Citizens. [400 likes, 1500 responses]

Hi people. I slept late.

What’s new?

Hey sweet this got transferred from the old forums? I guess I’ll show my support once again with this new one, hopefully blizzard will see this now!

I got around to posting my angry rant on this thread (post 258 here).

Otherwise, nothing really .-.

Oh yes, I remember you told me about it before I went to sleep.

Can I tell you a secret? I’m scared to post on reddit… people on reddit are kind of huge A -holes… always talking down on you, according to people on reddit, no matter what you talk about, they’ll always say the opposite. If you say that there’s a problem, people will crawl onto your topic saying it’s fine. If you say sth is fine, you’ll have criers complain and say it’s not…

That’s another part with why I stay away from posting on Reddit. It’s much more of a toxic cesspool

This could be a PC Master Race hate comment, but isn’t.
This could be a Developer comment, but isn’t.

It’s just a bump.

I created a post about a pre-download For Archives on console, because i think the update Will be huge and without a pre-download It Will be annoying to install if you want to play the event as soon as it Will be realeased

I would like to put here the link, but i can’t. The thread name is “Pre-download on console for Archives?” If you want to share your thought

Also :clap:WHERE :clap:IS :clap:OUR :clap:HUD :clap:OPTION :clap:BLIZZARD:clap:

I would like console players to have the communication wheel enhanced to be able to say “im with you” while facing an ally

Preformatted text is a good way to go about it. This can be done by either clicking the button for it, or holding Ctrl+Shift+C. It can also be done by quoting a post from that thread and just copying and pasting it into here.

Toggle UI is at the very bottom of Controls. It was implemented on March 20th; it’s just that they didn’t note in any patch notes at all (Blizz pls).


Bind ‘Group Up’ from the Communication Wheel to a Control on your Controller. From there, if you are targeting an ally and use it, it will say “I’m with you”.

I already know about binding the buttons but I can only bind two (my dude)

Ah, yeah I see what you mean now. I had that thought in my mind as well at one point, but at some point just accepted that it was not going to happen like that.

Agreed, and I think it’s ironic that Blizz looks to Reddit more than their own forums.

I’ve usually dropped $100+ on lootboxes for events but until this thread gets the response it deserves I’m not opening my wallet. I hope others here will join me.

It’s been a year since i joined that one. My last paid lootbox is from uprising last year. By the time I saw Linear was finally there but completely broken…

Wanted to add to my angry rant from a couple days ago, but I don’t want to just edit that post, so I guess I’ll post right here :yum:

Anyways:

You guys at Blizzard so stated that you guys are “always considering opportunities for our Competitive Console Community”. Yet you guys had the GALL to promote Overwatch League on Consoles over simply fixing the Console versions of your game. I know I’ve called you guys out on this before; well, it’s time for me to do it again.

Why in the bloody hell would you guys at Blizzard even CONSIDER that to be a good idea? Especially when you guys don’t even directly respond to your Console Players on YOUR OWN FORUMS or other Social Media?

Face it, Overwatch Dev Team. You guys don’t give two ****s about your Console Players. It takes literal months for you guys to directly respond to your Console Players, even though most can easily be responded to within 15 minutes. It takes literal months for you guys to implement items that are ALREADY ON PC and work just fine even if one uses a Controller. You guys had the gall to promote OWL on Consoles over responding to our concerns, even though we on CONSOLES are not even given representation in such.

And on the subject of “always considering opportunities for our Competitive Console Community”: No, I highly doubt it. It should NOT take 2 ****ing YEARS for you guys to give your Competitive Console Community a SINGLE OPPORTUNITY. Even more so considering just HOW MANY THINGS E-Sports related you guys have announced, or even supported, for PC Overwatch in all that time.
Such items include:
Overwatch Open, 3 Overwatch World Cups, Overwatch League itself, 2-3 Seasons of Open Division, 3 Seasons of Contenders, Tespa Spring Series, PIT, Monthly Melees, and more.
So much for “Always considering opportunities for our Competitive Console Community”. Bull ****. And remember when you guys stated, “As console players ourselves, we know it’s been frustrating to not have this functionality on your platform.” before the Reporting System got implemented on Consoles?https://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20758356169?page=1#post-1
Well, I also call bull **** on this too. If you guys REALLY play on Console, then what are your thoughts for other CONSOLE-SPECIFIC Balance Changes, among other things? As far as we’re concerned, you guys are not even trying to listen to your Console Players.
This is made even more evident by the following:

  • Push to Talk is literally half-assed on Console.
  • Linear Ramp is still broken.
  • 15 months to implement the SAME Report System that’s been on PC. And we on Console STILL can’t appeal our bans.
  • It literally takes an uprising just for us Console Players to get the attention of you guys on the Overwatch Dev Team.
  • You guys clearly have the time to respond to our threads because you guys clearly have the time to respond to threads such as the ones shown in the OP.
  • You guys aren’t even transparent for Console-specific changes in YOUR OWN Patch Notes.

Need I say more?

Good post. Though if you look at the dev tracker, right now they aren’t responding to anybody. It’s been nearly a week since the last dev post. I guess they are too busy with OWL. Maybe the new event.

WHY CANT WE IMPORT OR SHARE SKINS ACROSS PLATFORMS? Fortnite has this since day 1. :confounded: feelsbadman

Couple of random Jeff comments, but nothing related specifically to consoles. At least they remembered the forums exist. :slight_smile:

The last time I bought loot boxes was about the same time in that case, as much as I’ve wanted a few skins since then.
