It’s kinda sad to see that the main topic for Overwatch 2 on the official Overwatch forums is as good as dead…

Because all this info that wrote here is belong to 2019 blizzcon, nothing else or realvente to 2020.
Greetings everyone, a minor update. I finally recovered all Developer Posts related to Reporting, Account Actions, and Disruptive Behavior from the Old Forums and are now backed up on my archive site. I know a lot of posts for that category are still relevant today, not to mention I found the infamous “TOrbrbrbrbBrbrbrBrBrBRBBRBRBRBRbRBRBRbRB” thread which has a special place in our community’s history.
I am hoping to complete the old forum archives very soon and should then starting working forward again to catch up on the directory overall.
BONUS: I worked a bit more midnight oil and got the Maps section done as well!
Unfortunately, this leaves me with the three major groups remaining, Hero Balance, Lore, and Non-Game Related Posts (and a handful of minor categories as well). Those will take quite a bit more time to process.

So I just got a notification saying you linked me to the " Game Features and Functions" section. Does that mean one of my old threads is somewhere in there? I dont think any of my threads have had a dev response. Or you just edited a post of mine to link to this section?
Not exactly sure what could have triggered that notification to be honest. Yes any linked threads will notify the original poster everytime I make an edit unfortunately (kinda annoying for me and all of you to be honest).

It took a lot of sorting and checking through everything, but the July 30th Reddit Ask Me Anything session with the Overwatch Development team has now been added to the directory. This includes over 100 developer post responses since I last updated new responses.
All other developer responses up the current date are now also caught up. (Though there has been very few posts since the Reddit AMA.)
Additional updates as I continue to restore posts from the old Overwatch Forums will come in the days to come.

I cant find where Jeff stated that he did not believe in infinitely adding heroes as is traditional in MOBAS (i.e. LoL) and thought that a hero cap would eventually be reached
Its one of the Hero Balance responses from the old forums, I have not processed those for the new archive site yet.

Thanks for response… Just wanted to know if I remembered that correctly or if it was a false belief
Confirmed! Smurfing is NOT punishable! YES
Overwatch 2 will be a total fail that’ll completely kill the Overwatch universe
Harsh, but true sentence…
That’s subjective. Not a fact.
Hey everyone, I have updated the Overwatch 2 Quick Facts post appropriately for all of the news that came out yesterday. Anything that is new will have a 
icon next to the line of information appropriately.

you should make a deadline to take these new icons off when OW2 releases in 2024.
How come you didn’t include India?
Because I forgot. There was so much crammed in that 40 minute video and I have just watched it for the fifth time now and still finding things I missed from the first.
I have updated the post with appropriate changes to things I missed.

Will the Utopea map be there ie headquarters of Vishkar?
We have had no news to whether this location will appear in any capacity in Overwatch 2.
For others who need context, Utopea is a city mentioned in some comics and lore for Overwatch.
Oh ok. That’s fine anyways, bc OW2 does look amazing atm.
Just FYI, Rome is a Push map (Pushbot at 37:46 in the BTS video)
Also, there’s a “transcript” of an interview between Alphacast and Renaud Galand from a few days ago that seems to provide some interesting info/clarifications if you haven’t already seen it. Can’t personally verify any of it because I don’t speak French but it’s there nonetheless
