A lot has happened in the last few weeks with the release of the Overwatch Workshop. That being said I am working to catch up on posts for the directory. The following entries will be added. I have also cleaned up some spelling errors, bad links, and a few other missteps.
Also note, with the release of the Overwatch Workshop, I will NOT be tracking specific Workshop related developer responses at this time. Those responses are not really intended for the purpose of the dev post directory as a general knowledge resource. Thanks for your understanding in that matter.
I think this might be a slightly misleading summary. Someone might read this to think they can leave providing they have never selected a hero.
If the ‘Assemble Heros’ phase ends and you have not picked then you will still be on the ‘hero selection screen’ but will no longer be in the grace period.
They must leave during the 45 second Assemble Heros phase that happens at the very beginning of a match.
A new section is added to the starting post of this directory, I have begun listing questions that are about current promotions or active issues with Overwatch itself.
I can’t guarantee these questions will receive a response from Blizzard, but hopefully this will be helpful to both the community and to Blizzard for showing issues that I feel could use a response.
New temporary update. An official response was provided by Dan Maas about the reason why Numbani was missing from the matchmaking rotation (albeit a little vague).
On a side note, with questions relating to map-specific questions starting to grow, I have updated that section to breakout responses regard a single specified map.
Callie, sorry for the direct quote but I figured it the fastest way to get your attention. I noticed with the latest forum update it is no longer possible to generate quote text for locked topics. I can manually type in the necessary code to work around this (albeit annoying) and still get the proper direct quote from a post in a locked thread, however I figured you should know unless this change was intended.
What I would like to know since this is a Dev post any information about the balancing issues in QuickPlay? Having bronze mixed in with diamonds , silver golds etc is not a balanced match.
They exist. Last year players could cheer with bits to unlock Grey skins for Tracer, Hanzo, Mercy, Genji, Junkrat, Widowmaker, and D.Va. Players could get the 2018 All-Access Pass (no longer available) to get the grey skins for McCree, Soldier:76, and Moira. Outside of these promotions, no opportunity existed to collect the grey skins.
XD they don’t appeal to me very much I give them 5/10 honestly i wouldn’t stress over those skin personally, but the 2018 allstar skins are a MUST I need those skin or I’ll die !!!
The Overwatch Team have made not only specialty skins for each Overwatch League team, but there are…
Overwatch League Grey and Away skins (used in visual demonstrations specifically for Overwatch League and special matches like the Community Countdown event before the season started).
Overwatch Orange and Away skins (currently used in the Overwatch Collegiate Championships and used in non-Overwatch League esport demonstrations)
Overwatch Contenders skins (currently used in Overwatch Contender matches)
Overwatch World Cup team specific skins (colored home and away white versions)
