To the healer whose house was flooding last night

Posted: 13 Feb 2017 12:06 PM PST

I was playing last night with a bunch of guys I grouped up with after a match, and in the middle of one of the matches one of the guy's mom runs into his room and tell him that the house is flooding and their street is being evacuated. (I think he was up near the Oroville dam craziness, google it). But his mom keeps yelling with increasing anxiety 'Danny, THE HOUSE IS FLOODING!!!!! c'mon!!!!!!!!!!' and he said 'Mom!!!! I'm in a game!!!' He finished the match, we won, and he said "I gotta go, my house it flooding, but I'm going to friend you guys'.

He was a healer too. Medal of Honor for you bud!!

Dispelling the myth that "Bastion 2.0 damage sucks beyond 15m"

That's a nice flank teleporter you have there. Be a shame if something happened to it.

Regular Winston POTG

I'm a terrible Widow. Rolled her in Mystery Heroes. The panic was real and the PotG shows it.

Petition to make Winston's Moon Base as a map in the future

Posted: 13 Feb 2017 04:13 AM PST

Earlier today, I watched the Dragons animated short and there was a weird looking structure in the moon. In the lore, most characters have an origin place for themselves (Nepal - Zenyatta, Route 66 - McCree, etc.) I thought that the structure on the moon was connected to the lore of the animated short Recall, since Winston was raised there. So, it would be cool to see Winston's moon base to become a future map.

Edit: holy shit i was not expecting this much upvotes for one simple thing

Edit 2: Here's a picture of the moon on the Elimination map for Nepal and Dorado (thank you Sapharodon for sharing this): http://imgur.com/a/ZBHr5

When your big gun disappears and you have to resort to making friends

SUGGESTION: Make respawn timers zero in skirmish.

Posted: 13 Feb 2017 10:21 AM PST

In skirmish I'm either trying to get some quick dirty action or befriend the locals. Besides, there are no objectives to take. What are we waiting for?

Lunar Event End Time: Even Blizzard Doesn't know (I just tweeted them)

Posted: 13 Feb 2017 11:47 AM PST

EDIT: They have since added a bulletin (at least on XBOX) that there will be maintenance tomorrow from 5am-7am PST (8am-10am EST, 1pm-3pm GMT)


Posting since everyone seems to be asking every 5min.

I totally blanked last night on buying the rest of the skins and remembered while sitting at work that the event ends today, but God knows what time...Could be 7pm (EST) when the Arcade resets or who knows when...I tweeted Blizzard CS asking if they had a time and this was their response:

"No, sorry. A specific time has not been announced. If you were looking to purchase boxes, they can be bought on the website and they will remain Lunar boxes after the event ends. Sorry we can't be more specific than that"

Edit: Of course they do this so that we do spend money and buy more boxes. Doesn't make it right. Guess I'm just spoiled by Bungie when they actually tell their players set times and remind them that an event is ending soon and when. (spoiled: In the sense they have set times for events/patches/maintenance whatever and always let you know. God knows that Bungie is in NO WAY perfect xD)

Edit 2: Note regarding the first edit: I added that because the first comment I got was "well, hey they want you to spend money..." etc. So I decided to just post it as an edit as an added comment that way everyone else didn't come in here and post the exact same thing. I, personally, do not care one bit if they want you to buy more lootboxes, it's a business OF COURSE that's what they want you to do. I happily buy lootboxes every event because big or small, I like supporting gaming companies. I posted it as an edit because obviously sometimes other people get upset over it and everyone is allowed to have their opinion.

It's amazing that whenever someone on this sub wants to post something to help others, there's always some hate for, honestly, no reason. This was literally made to help answer the question of "does anyone know when the event ends?!" to all the people who have been asking all day. End of story.

You can shoot through the dropship's hatch

Posted: 13 Feb 2017 06:18 AM PST

I'm a teacher. My student is a Mcree main, and keeps reminding me when it's EXACTLY 12pm, to my vocal exasperation.

Posted: 13 Feb 2017 02:36 AM PST

I told them that the clock was in my sights, but I had to put the hammer down on the puns.

Jokes aside, it was a great moment, and it makes me appreciate the value of Overwatch as a shared medium through which we can interact with others. It's a piece of shared culture that helps me bridge an ever growing gap with the next generation.

Anyone else find that Overwatch served as a lovely piece of common ground with people?

D.va's pixel spray done with perler beads. 8 hour project, my biggest one yet!

I've been working on completing each hero's spray, I've done Widow and Pharah so far. I knew D.va's was going to be a huge project so I did it this weekend over a period of two days. It turned out great and I'm really happy with it and wanted to share!
