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

So I finally decided to view the forums on one of my laptops(I have 2, one that’s about 10 years old[and the one I’m using right now because it’s bigger] and a smaller, more recent HP laptop that has 0 space on it) instead of on my phone and I was able to check my trust level, and I’m level 2…

I think I need more topics read(my stats are:

  • 82 days visited
  • 3 days read time
  • 433 topics viewed
  • 7.6k posts read
  • 508 likes given
  • 16 topics created
  • 796 posts created
  • 331 likes received

So I think the only thing I need for level 3 is to view 20k+ posts viewed, any way I can increase that just so i can easily post links?)

This Mercy Megathread

Put a weight on the down key, then Netflix and Chill. Make sure the mouse is within the post areas and not scrolling down too fast though; it might not count the posts as read otherwise!

oh look, console only maintenance and the game is literally unplayable for everyone. 5 hours of not being allowed to play. all hell would break lose if this happened for 1 hour on pc. this is ridiculous, blizzard does not care.

The issue is with EU versions of battle.net, and it also affects PSN. It’s not the case with XB1 or anything else (the reverse is true for XB1; if maintenance is happening in NA versions of battle.net, then it’s also happening on XB1).

If there’s maintenance, then I’m a bit relieved I decided to make a new GTAO crew with Dva as the mascot then… I’ve been playing gta more lately because I have nothing to gain on this account right now

And I’ll try the putting something on the down arrow and do something else, if it doesn’t work I’ll just wait, but I’m on my phone like usual and it seems to be working, I just put one of my pocket knives on the arrow and it’s already 1200 post in

Well… 12.3k posts read, and my computer keeps wanting to crash the page because it’s old, it’s occasionally stuttering but for the most part it’s doing pretty good although I might switch to my newer laptop plus I do wanna watch some rick and morty(my phone didn’t want to type that, first it auto-corrected to “north” then it kept making me type “mortu” then it auto-corrected to “mortgage”) because I might get the DVDs for season 3 with my next paycheck, and other than my PS4, the laptop I have doing the forum trick is the only other thing I have in my room to play DVDs(that’s how old it is, it still has a disc drive)

I should note that Trust Level 3 does not happen immediately upon meeting all of the requirements necessary. It does take a bit of time (I heard 24 hours personally, but I’ve heard some wait a couple days as well)

I believe it’s within a week. 24 hours at the earliest.

But yeah PS4 servers are still down for a 5 hour maintenance

They’re working right now, I just got off my PS4 for the night, I’m gonna watch a couple more episodes of Rick and morty season 1 then go to sleep(I have about half an episode left of disc 1)

I’M MR. MEESEEKES LOOK AT ME!!!

I’m almost gold and in both qp and comp I’ve seen both sets of cheaters more and more frequently.

I feel like what you’re describing is an alt which is different than a smurf in my book. The other day there was a match on Blizzard World where we being destroyed because of a GenjiSmurf, and the only reason we won was because the GenjiSmurf rage quit and abandoned their team.

Smurfs are unfair to BOTH sides and unfairly manipulate sr for both too.

I love that we dont have smurfs on xbox, but i still belive that we need to keep bumping this until we get an answer… come on , how hard it is to fix Linear Ramp on console?

Too hard apparently, been broken since last year’s Uprising and was made into a broken exponential ramp with aim ease in essentially.

So this is just a thought I had, but what if for like 6000 regular credits, you could buy platform exclusive weapon skins? They would cycle between the main colors of the platform being used(Black+Blue for PlayStation, White+Green for XBox, White+Blue for Windows[based on Windows 10, but it can be any version of windows OSX compatible with Overwatch], and Red+Blue for Switch if that ever happens) that also has the logo of the platform on it, and the cycle wouldn’t just be constantly swapping colors, it’d fade between the colors, and at the same rate as the flash on golden weapons, the platform logo would light up. And then for some more customization, you could add the option to spend credits and comp points(around 3500 of each) to combine the two weapon skins, it would at least prove they acknowledge Console players somehow

So a post explaining the LFG Tool coming in soon gets made, and it’s a huge wall of text. Now take the size of said post, cut it by about 80%, and you have the length of a post that can be made to respond to us specifically.

Yeah, I’m sorry Blizz. If there’s time for you guys to make a 17-paragraph wall of text, there’s clearly time to give a response to us that’s 20% that size. One response giving some transparency to your Console Players specifically is not a lot to ask for, y’know?

Another match (still talking QP) of no one ranked under 2700 in the lobby except little 1970SR me hopping around on Lucio trying to stay positive, both K/D and mentally in this uphill battle. Blizz, your horrible matchmaking is only outshined by your snubbing of console concerns!

We’ve been through some hard stuff lately, but hopefully this Kirby version of Lúcio makes stuff even slightly better:

This thread is almost close to 1000 comments and still no answer from the devs… yikes

I don’t think anyone is expecting anything at this point.

Think I figured out why I’m seeing diamonds and Plats in my QP games. They haven played QP in a long time so their MMR decays down to my trash level so with the end of the season they’re not trying to climb anymore so they come into QP way below where they should be. Is that how this works?

Would I be able some input on this:

So I just played a game on Numbani with a Pharah on the enemy who is in gold at 2106, and they’re level 215 and have played 58 hours this season, so I don’t think they’re a smurf, but they had 55 direct hits as Pharah which was 42% of their total rockets, would that be them using either and Aimbot or M+KB? It’s on PS4, I was to shocked to take a picture, but that’s not even their best rocket direct hits this season, their best is 115… so again I believe they’re using some form of Aimbot or M+KB, but what do you guys think because I feel like I unfairly lost a game due to them but I don’t want to unfairly report them because I hear that if you submit a certain amount of false reports, you could actually get banned
