Hey everyone, got caught up and added a few important posts added to the directory today.

In the Story Discussion forum, Michael Chu explains what the original purpose for the Bastion unit was for:

@mchu

They were originally designed for peacekeeping purposes, sort of like the original OR14s.

In the general discussion forum, Tom Power’s details the Loot Boost promotion on specially marked packages of Kellogg’s brand products (including the new Lucio-oh’s Cereal)

@TomPowers

There will not be a toy, but you will be granted a Loot Boost!

What is a Loot Boost?

A Loot Boost will grant you an additional standard Overwatch Loot Box the next three times you level up in-game. More details will be revealed here once this kicks off December 3rd.

And a fun tidbit post from Bill Warnecke on Reddit about how B.O.B. interacts in the game.

@Bill Warnecke

Hey there, as others have noted this is intentional. When we were creating BOB we started out with him being treated completely the same in the game as a real player. This did lead to some problems! For example, if you were in the assemble heroes phase and one team had 6 players and another team had 5 with an Ashe the game would start if Ashe summoned BOB! Not ideal …

While we made a few fixes to systems like the one above, in general our goal is to make BOB very close to being a full player when he’s active.

Cheers.
