Weekly Recall: Developer Horror Stories

This Halloween, you’re in for a fright as our devs gather ‘round the fire’s light to share tall tales of bluffs, bugs, and crashes, audio breakdowns, and hotly-fixed patches. Keep the lights on or risk Team 4’s curse: maybe you’ll do this tomorrow at work.

Fun to read, I guess…?
But it’s hard to feel happy and good when the game has some serious problems, as always.
Yes, this is the second dev post where I wrote this.

Anyways, I’m surprised to see the Skin Designers having no horror story.
Aren’t they scared Kiriko will break the 4th wall and choke them when she finally gets no skin?
Aren’t they scared of the Mercy Mafia turning their homes into a lethal moth nest as well?
Or if Juno abducts them with a classic UFO laser beam on their ways home?

Interesting.

Though would have been more interested in the stories of why they are trying to balance core mode via perks 90% of the time and why Stadium keeps getting saddled with mode changes many hate.

Those would probably envoke some nightmares.

One of the best things about Stadium. Ana was F tier for the first few seasons. This season she was changed a bit and made it to B tier.

Thank you devs for the MKB update/fix!

Disappointed that you went back to BO7!

How dare they listen to their community!

When we were building the loadouts feature in Hero Gallery,something happened (clearly witchy shenanigans) that caused the pineapple pizza souvenir to be equipped in one of the emote slots as a default…for everyone.” – Anonymous, production

Oh so that was a bug, I thought it was a last ditch effort to try to get people to use souvenirs. Yeah I’m pretty sure there’s still a handful of heroes I still haven’t bothered to unequip this on, a bit annoying but oh well

I get asked if I happen to have a solution for a lot of insane situations. That’s mainly because I’m really lucky and likely to simply guess the right answer

This is a legit good strat no development would get done without it

People think Juno has too many skins? She doesn’t even have a SINGLE legendary in the hero gallery. One of the few characters in the game you can’t get a free legendary for unless you’re lucky with lootboxes

that’s every hero since mauga

why you even bother making these awfull posts nobody cares? talk about the issues the game have, 6vs6 abandoned, no interest on the workshop or arcade, how stadium is sucking all the developement time and resources, how you killed the story, how you lied about the pve, thats a worst horror story

I knew something was wrong with Zarya’s perk. When I first equipped it. I was like. What is this perk doing. Is it working? Do I have to aim at the head, or something.

ok.

20000000 characters

Thanks for sharing that, guys, but… how scary is it, when there are tons upon tons of voice line bugs and enhancements that have been totally ignored, and I myself right here have been tirelessly petitioning to get everything fixed? Don’t we all hate how much on fire voice lines play? Did you know tons of voice lines are not used, or bugged? Is 33 comments, 158+ likes and 1.2k+ views not enough to get the attention of you awesome devs?
