I like the TD mode. Not as a replacement for an actual PVE of course, but as an addition to game modes for Overwatch 2. Is it going to be here forever, or what? I seem to recall some kind of limited time rewards you could get from playing it, but I hope the mode can stay regardless.
Like as an actual mode, and not something you have to mess around with custom browsers and talking to people on discord to coordinate. It doesn’t matter if the mode is the least played in the game, the ease of just inviting people mid game would be infinitely better.

It’s permanent like story missions and normal hero mastery
I’m not in game but I did see somewhere that hero mastery replaced missions on menu…story missions still around?
Why does it have a timer then?
It’s for the achievements you can get for playing it.
Heroe Mastery had the same thing, and it’s still here.
Why are there time limited achievements?
Story missions replaced cos it hasn’t gotten an update in ages. Once it gets more missions they probably switch again.
Cos this season is the season it got introduced. If it was a time limited mode it would have been placed in the arcade like Underworld, Valentine’s, Eldritch Horror mission etc

For a bit of fun.
Like I said, Hero Mastery also had time limited achievements & it’s still here.
It’s almost impossible to finish Expert with randoms. I prefer the solo missions more because they’re way easier to complete or 5 star.
I just wish the mode had actual designed maps and not the hero mastery bland theme, then it would be perfect

Maybe if it’s successful enough they’ll put more resources into the mode, and it’ll get proper maps?
…
Yeah, probably not, eh.

Why not just take existing maps and retool them to be TDM maps. The Last of Us’ multiplayer did that, and those maps are fantastic. Oh, and I guess TLoU2’s No Return mode did the same thing, but I haven’t played that mode (no PS5).
In fact, would anyone like to try a project like that with Blender? For some reason, I have the entire Junkertown map in blender downloaded, and we could mess around and turn that into a TDM map. We’d just need to take one portion of the map (The beginning, middle, or end) and add theme appropriate towers.
IDK, I’m just in a creative mode today

Maybe…but who’s left to work on more of them?

I’m just hoping they take the “blandness” of the Mastery environment and allow us to make custom maps on them.
Similar to Smash bros level editor, its limited but allows players to create their own levels.
Maybe a “User of the week/month” level that is voted as the best and put on the menu for players to try out.
No need to work on more if they’re all complete but getting released super slowly. We saw the full Rio mission exactly as it is now in 2019 Blizzcon. We saw the next mission with Zenyatta vs Talon including gameplay clips and ingame cinematic clips in 2021 Blizzconline. Imagine how much more is finished but just being saved for later.
Have you seen Forge mode from Halo Infinite? People can make their own maps and the look just as if they were made by 343 its just amazing
I have, and I’ve been meaning to get into Halo Infinite more, but it just doesn’t run on my laptop anymore. I don’t know what happened; before I could run it and hit a consistent 30 frames, but now it just crashes.
Yup it is permanent. Playing it make me sad how much awesome it would if there was full blown pve.
I wished they made weekly challenges open to this mode. It’s feels pointless to play once the challenges are done.
It’s still in the menu but smaller on the far right
