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

That just means they will ignore you there as well.

Sadly…

Love that spongebob reference!!

Also don’t know if it’s a specific psr or console or even a general bug but sometimes I’m blocked in hero select screen. Meaning when I choose my character, the game reacts as if I would be holding down square to change hero. All the time. I’m literally stuck in spawn because of this bug

Keeping the thread alive people, I wonder how many replies it’ll take for a dev or a Blizzard employee to see us? Your Overwatch did, what is Blizzard’s excuse?

P.S: Please fix linear ramp, its almost unplayable at this stage. Please give console a good quality of life with other fixes and great additions to keep the game on console amazing and the best it can be!

On a separate note, anybody that has been defending M&K on Console because Sony ‘has a licensed M&K adapter’ is wrong.

While yes Sony does have one that’s licensed, they are similar to Microsoft in terms of how a developer manages their game. It is strictly the developer’s decision to decide what is and isn’t allowed. (I asked Sony about this very thing just a few hours ago)

Mouse and keyboard on console is just unfair

They obviously don’t care about console at all. Addressing this thread would be admitting to the problem, so they never will. It’s much easier to let us yell in our echo chamber than to shed any light onto the issue. I haven’t played a Blizzard game in a while, but its a shame to see how far they’ve fallen in terms of customer service. I’ve lost most of the respect I had for this company since the release of this game.

I honestly doubt any of the devs even fire up this game on console.

Problem is that means we’re screwed badly… because that means Blizzard has been lying to us in that regard. The devs have played the blame game with sony, if what you say is true, then that means that Blizz is the one not wanting to take proper action.

No they don’t. About a year ago when Linear was totally broken they actually pretended that they were testing the “issue” but couldn’t identify or notice any issues. Or I thibk the exact wording was they couldn’t reproduce the “bug”. It was literally broken for everyone on any controller.

That just shows how much they don’t even know how a controller is supposed to work. Their console team if it even exists is laughable at best.

I have my doubts about any of the dev team playing on console as well. But I haven’t given up hope that they will address some of these concerns voiced here. A few things have been addressed, like attempting to improve the aim system and giving Ana friendly aim assist.

Ya know, I’m actually curious about linear ramp. A part of me wonders if it wasn’t designed to have that quick start. The graph of the setting suggests it should. But I’ve also heard others mention proof, I’ve just never seen it.

I actually use linear ramp with every character, so I’d be curious to get to the bottom of this one.

Then they should have told us that it was intended, but they literally said they couldn’t reproduce what we were describing, which is a whole other story…
Ahh it’s so frustrating to be an ignored minority

Yeah, the teams relationship with the community now a days leaves a LOT to be desired. It’s been pretty shocking for me honestly as an old school blizzard gamer. It’s substantially worse for console unfortunately. We really do seem to be a revenue stream for the “real” game, which is a shame.

On the topic of linear ramp however, I recommend kontrol freaks, or some other joystick extender. It really helps make those finite movements feel smoother.

Tse tse tse… who do you think I am? Of course I got kontrolfreeks!! Couldn’t play without them anymore. But still there’s a few smal easy tweaks which could improve life and game experience for us but nothing fron them…

we can’t even deselect avoided players like pc can. what a surprise didn’t even check to see if it worked on console just pushed it through.

This is a bug that was confirmed by Bill Warnecke on Reddit. He said they would likely (key word is likely, so don’t quote exactly) have a fix for this tomorrow.

Though yeah, I do wish the issue regarding this wasn’t there to begin with.

Not sure how common this is, but occasionally on PS4 the game will crash when trying to save a highlight from the i game menu

I’ve gone on the bug forum on the old forum about it and well ¯_(ツ)_/¯

While I do understand that everybody is frustrated in this thread please keep the feedback rollin’ without being emotional. It doesn’t help our console concerns being acknowledged. This thread is important!

The biggest priority we need to have is: Cross-platform shared level, stats and items.
The second most is: Balance PC / Consoles differently.

Don’t worry guys, this thread will not die until we have an official reply here. I love Blizzard as a whole but this makes me feel second-handed and I’m gonna use all my Social Media power to get to them. Make tickets and send them.
Spam their Twitter with this link. Let’s do it boys.

I don’t really see what the problem with my post was. All I said was pretty much the truth and doesn’t make the console community sound ridiculous.

Everybody knew that linear ramp was broken. We got a response after 3 to 4 filled threads and their response was:" we’ll be looking into it but our team couldn’t reproduce the bug you’re describing".

Lirerally all of the console community was experiencing this exceot the team. There’s no much conspiracy theory left at that point: either they didn’t even test/try, or they actually don’t know how a controller is supposed to work. There’s nothing wrong with saying that.

I really don’t see what the problem with my statement was there. I’ve been on the console issues since december of 2016.

What about the option to turn off V-Sync to reduce input lag? This game has had a bad aim system since launch, which the aim smoothing patch didn’t really fix. Turning off V-Sync on PC reduces input lag, yet consoles have no option to turn it off.

There is nothing wrong with your statement and I didn’t want to attack you. But adding words like “laughable” diminishes all the good parts of your feedback. That’s what I meant with being emotional. I truly understand you and it is frustrating especially after being on this for so long. Keep up with the console issues. :slight_smile:
