My 2999 Post here in the topics: Taking a break from Overwatch

Spent the last two months hoping Overwatch would get better, and they only gone straight down hill, not listening to us at all.

With Destiny 2 Forsaken right around the corner and Fallout 76 after that.

Gonna shelve this till Devs actually get serious about balance and fun in the game.

Be sure to pop in and tell us how Forsaken goes. I heard they are adding a bow-type weapon and more super abilities, which sounds spicy. I have the base game but did not get any season passes (I heard they lacked content) but Forsaken sounds good. I try to be optimistic anyway.

balance game with multiple, very different heroes?
oh come on

there always will be meta heroes and off meta … you will never have ā€˜balance’ in game where you are supposed to switch

what does ā€˜balance’ even mean?

Hopefully we’ll see some more serious changes soon with the poster child on break.

@ me if Forsaken is good, I may pick it up. I haven’t played seriously on PC yet-- but who knows?

If the medal came with Blizzard updating their strategy to Overwatch, I bet he does want the medal. If not, I will take it.

I’m honestly starting to think that people are complaining about the game just for the sake of it.

You’re tired or bored of it, cool.
But many of us still find the game to be amazing.

Does it have problems? Of course, like every other game.
Is it one of the best games that was ever created?
IMO, yes. And that is a strong statement.

They don’t listen because of many absurd ideas we have.

you know when i first saw these post about quitting the game. it was in season 2 and from then onwards complaining about something else.

ow biggest issue is that the community is too toxic.

The game is poorly balanced and only 10 or so heroes are even viable. There is little to no new content and matches are decided before they even start based on picks and attitude.

The problem with Overwatch, I’ve found, isn’t inherently with how Blizzard balances.

It’s with the community.

On top of that, you lost your legitimacy when you said you’re going to go play the new expansion for Destiny 2. Sure, keep giving money to Activision, so they can keep making the same anti-consumer games like Destiny for years to come. Or did you forget that you need to buy access to every bit of new content?

Nah, fam. I am not tired or bored of it. I still play it constantly. I AM taking a slight break to learn Rainbow Six Siege. But that is just because I want more heroes, my namesake. Siege just gives me the opportunity to try new characters that Overwatch is not really doing. But I played it for a few hours literally yesterday and eagerly await to Halloween event and Blizzcon shortly thereafter. It is my favorite online game and probably always will be.

I complain because I care. And no offense intended, white knights like you are precisely why the game is in this state. If the community makes their complaints known, the developers can account for that and address them. I have experienced plenty of games dying on to have the developers express problems that the COMMUNITY POINTED OUT THE ENTIRE TIME. The inherent issue, it is ā€œnegativeā€ to criticize the game so few people are brave enough to voice their concerns because you are the vast majority. ā€œEverything is fineā€ is always the motto as it gets worse and worse and the developers see your voice as the loudest. And when the game inevitably dies, guess who already left? The people who were supposedly still enjoying it while everyone who was ā€œtired and boredā€ are left with the remains discussing how avoidable it all was.

I understand that is not your intention. I doubt it is the intention of anyone content with the game. But that is just realistically what the developers see and why they feel no pressure to address the real problems. If everyone unified, progress would be made and those changes are what the game needs to remain at the top.

We both care about the game in our different ways. The inherent issue is that we want something changed and while you are not opposed to it, you act like you are. There is no secret ulterior motive to anyone leaving the game other than the fact that they want it improved.

But whatever, as I stated, I have been there and done that with plenty of games. I am ready for Overwatch to end whenever that is. It is just sad that the MAIN incentive for me to play the game is because it is not going to be around for as long as I would like. It feels like a waste learning Siege when I could be spending time on Overwatch. However, at the same time, I am so starved for something new that it is just not feasible to keep playing Overwatch as my only game.

Yup a break is the way to gošŸ‘Œ

Jelly has been on break for months and it really has helped. The things that need to be fixed aren’t getting fixed for a while, so let’s wait it outšŸ˜€

Hopefully next year, because I would love to play again, but not when I know I won’t enjoy it.

Overwatch is great game, it’s just it’s current state that’s bad. That’s allšŸ‘Œ

And man, don’t listen to the destiny 2 haters. The game is spectacular, with lots to do and more on the way.

Sure it’s launch was terrible, but right it’s in its bets state, for me at least.

And you know exactly what’s coming in about a week😊
