Well Archives was amazing and I looked forward to it… then last year happened and now I don’t even have hope for that anymore either.

If you can’t say why bother saying anything in the first place?

Yeah that is very sad. Literally, the only new content we get it’s skins.

But 2 skins for this event sets a precedent that this will be the same going forward.
Obviously, not confirmed, but as there is no information at all, it’s what most people will assume.

Hey Andy while you’re here… The big news announced last week, was it just the new IP or can we expect something OW2 related?

Since I’m feeling very glass half empty today I’m willing to bet that’s what it was.

Unless my memory fails me I recall a while back that Jeff told everybody ahead of time that there was going to be less skins in an upcoming event (I forget which)
I think this would’ve played out differently if something similar had occurred here

I mean are we really surprised we only got two legendary skins?
The news is the community blog post about how they focused on two skins.
Yes cause they didn’t tell us in advance leaving us to get beyond disappointed.

It’s just not looking great for Overwatch until OW2 comes out unfortunately. Everything is put on hold for the sequel 
I get this feeling. It’s understandable that folks want information right now.
To provide some insight as to our processes; any announcement or news that we share is heavily coordinated, highly scrutinized, and meticulously planned before it ever sees the light of day. There are several stakeholders at every step of the process that need alignment and to have their feedback both listened too and considered. Major announcements are even more complicated, sometimes needing approval from all the way up the chain.
By the time we’re ready to announce something to the broader community (let alone preview it with our trusted content creators), months of work and the efforts of many teams are represented in the final product.
When we use phrases like “throughout the year” it’s intentionally ambiguous as we’re not at a place where we’re ready to communicate firm schedules. I know that’s not the most satisfying thing to hear as a player. In this particular case, we anticipated conversation around this topic and believed it better to provide some additional context.

The community team is never going to be allowed to make huge announcements like whatever it is that got the content creators excited. I don’t know why the team hasn’t revealed anything of that yet but I expect they will soon. In the meantime there’s no point complaining to Andy about it.

They complain to him cause he’s the only public face they can complain to.

I do not feel they should have shown the 2 Legendaries before the event if there was only 2.
It’s bad enough no heads up that we only getting two, yet also spoilt any surprise.
I know your only the messenger Andy.

Guess I can kiss that hope of a D.Va Archives skin goodbye.

To manage expectations, you should never be looking at blue posts (from CMs) on these forums for major announcements. The community team is here to facilitate conversation and provide additional granularity whenever possible
Should go without saying, but no leaks from us either. I have a family to support.

Rip to the doomfist players who heard his voice in the trailer and thought they were actually getting a skin.
