Can somone explain to me how bugs occur to heroes that received zero changes.
How did Hanzo suddenly receive recoil on his bow, despite nothing being changed on him.
How does Tracer no longer take damage when pulse is directly stuck on someone when the only change she received was a damage increase on her primary?
How do these sorta things happen to simple number changes?? Any game developers in the forum that could explain?
Torbjorn also has a weird glitch now that occurs sometimes when he fires his primary. It looks like his gun is in a permanent recoil and just twitches. Its bizarre and really distracting.
Don’t forget moira being able to fade out of grav now, despite no changes to her either.
Exactly, like how does this happen?
Is Overwatch seriously so broken that simply number changes can break completely unrelated heroes?
Which literally just had a massiver overhaul to the game, even got a 2 in the title now but the devs didn’t fix the spaghetti code, really?
The best bet is that the patch notes are incomplete (not mentionning all the code optimizations/improvement or other very technical changes).
An other option is that they test a lot of things in their latest build and they don’t rollback properly before the release of the patch.
Also, some bugs are also weird AF sometimes. Games aren’t your typical “hello world” code.
Its clearly the same game with an overhaul. They also added a lot of things. One could guess OW1 code wasn’t meant to handle OW2 features and/or OW2 devs don’t know OW1 code well enough to change things smoothly.
First the Pulse bomb thing, now this. Bugs are basically patch notes by this point >.>
Are you new to code written in major companies? There’s a mess of spaghetti code everywhere. Welcome to the corporate world.
I’ve worked for 4 large corporations in my life, it’s been the same thing in all 4 of them
I still believe someone high up in Blizzard got greedy for money wanted OW2 to be in that Christmas rush and in game awards, so the cut the game into pieces to sell to the PVP and OWL fans, now the they are flying a ship that’s half finished people are complaining and they are struggling to meet the demands to keep people happy so they’ll by more passes and skins.
This all could have been avoided had they waited for the game to be complete with all it’s modes intact.
At least that’s my theory.
