Actual Proof that a New Event *IS* on the way!

Posted: 04 May 2017 04:15 AM PDT

Hi everyone!

 

Wouldn't post this if I didn't believe it is worth the "proof" tag.

 

I've been digging around the PTR files, there are references to "EVENT 6" for all characters, and new cosmetics for them too.

 

Reaper is on top in terms of #items along with tracer (surprise surprise), sombra and orisa for chances of a skin.

 

There's also references to up to 3 new maps, or versions of maps - we can't be sure.

 

This neither proves nor invalidates other "leaks" - what this proves to me, is that a new event is in hiding on the PTR, and the most likely thing it'll be for is the anniversary :)

 

Video - here

 

"Missing Key" - means that it's a key tied to an event. We can't see the specific item names until we get the key, but we know they are there..

 

Hammeh

 

EDIT

/u/js41637 has done an awesome job and grabbed the code strings a in post below - check them out if you don't have time for the vid, I'll try put some screen grabs up later. Thanks js!

 

/u/iku_19 is more familiar with the map strings, and his post below says this may be one map / new menu screen. Thanks, iku!

So I finally found out OW has input lag problems and fixed them, and the difference in my aim has been ridiculous

Posted: 04 May 2017 01:38 PM PDT

I spent the first good part of OW playing projectile characters (Junkrat, Pharah etc) and never noticed any problems with my aim, though it did always feel a bit sort of... floaty? that's the best way I can describe it

I've always struggled a lot playing classes like mccree, genji, widow, soldier etc, I expected to be bad with them at first but felt that perhaps I was playing worse than I ought to have been playing so I looked into it

Turns out OW has some weird input lag problems and built in mouse acceleration that fucks with a lot of people's aim without them realizing it

After about an hour of tuning my settings following this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/4vz5sh/cut_my_input_delay_in_half_and_loving_it/ (It doesn't take that long I was just messing around with some other stuff) I finally managed to bring my ms lag from 14.3 all the way down to 6.

Now at first glance that wouldn't seem a lot since we're only talking in ms here, but the change to my aim was instant, I could land headshots with mcree and widowmaker consistently, have good sprays with soldier without losing track of my target, land more solid hooks with roadhog, all this because I fixed something I wasn't aware was happening

When you're in game, press CTRL+SHIFT+N and look at the SIM tab, the left number is your lowest, middle is your average and right is your highest and you want to get that one down as much as you can, you want your ms to be around 5-8 consistently

TL;DR - OW has weird mouse input problems, follow the step above to check if you're having them and follow the thread linked on how to fix them

Edit: The lock fps option seemed to be the most important option for me, I did all the steps in the listed thread along with changing my resolution to 1600x900 and setting my fps to 200, my ms didn't change at all until I changed my fps lock

A friend (huge Junkrat fan) is graduating college soon. This is her cap!

Posted: 04 May 2017 06:44 AM PDT

Hooly Dooly!

She also has a pretty top-notch gender swapped Junkrat cosplay, I'll ask her about it when I get a chance. This text is to "add context" to an image of fan content that would be covered by the title but the post was removed.

I "stayed as a team" and jumped from bronze to platinum overnight.

Posted: 04 May 2017 03:34 AM PDT

I don't know how often that happenes without intentional boosting so that's pretty huge to me. My season high was 1500-something SR and despite doing my best I could not consistently stay above bronze/silver threshold. For every win there had to be a loss.

On the tuesday evening I and 5 other random people decided to stay as a team after a great game and went on to win every game throughout the night, several hours straight. I picked D.Va in almost every round and had probably the best performance to date, because we all instinctively knew how to support eachother. We didn't have too much voice comms, but chatting in the text box kept everyone relaxed, motivated and confident. We didn't even run the meta comp most of the time, which made our Genji the happiest man alive!

We had an amazing synergy and while I appreciate the jump in ranking, the actual fun of kicking ass with brand new friends was the best feeling I had in Overwatch. It's also amazing how all of us just lasted together for so long in the middle of a weekday night. "We have to keep this up until we lose". And we did. If you see this guys, we have to do this again soon!

Can we NOT mock players because of their accent, please?

Posted: 04 May 2017 05:04 AM PDT

I have just played game with 4 man stack, everything ok till they couldnt agree on composition even within themselfs, when I told something to them, i ve been instantly mocked because "stfu your english is so bad we cant even understand you" and some joke that every of his teammate laughed on. The guy saying it was a Brit fo soh. And here lies my point: title.

English is not the one and only language on the planet and playing on EU should not require perfect British accent, while people might sound funny and clunky, they are trying their best to be communicative. If you are about to make fun of someone because their accent, try to be in that person shoes for 5 minutes. It is stressful to constantly translate things you want to say to your second language.

Remember: if someone sounds funny, it propably means they know at least 2 languages, and when person you are speaking to does not know words in english or have pauses during speech, its not because he/she is stupid. You dont even know how smart they are in their native language.

TL;DR dont bully other people trying to speak english

There are 2 new Animations in the new PTR update that no one noticed

Posted: 04 May 2017 12:04 PM PDT

Blizzard, if you aren't actually planning something for the "leaked" 24th May / 1 Year Anniversary event, derail the hype before it starts to go out of control

Posted: 04 May 2017 08:07 AM PDT

There are leaks are flying all over the place and a lot of media outlets and content creators covered the topic extensively. People could be setting themselves up for a huge disappointment, if the rumors don't have any truth to them, derail the hype as soon as posible.

Unused voicelines in the game suggest a new game mode is being added involving escorting/destroying an objective

Posted: 04 May 2017 04:06 AM PDT

Selected voicelines:

Zarya:

Focus fire on the objective
Escorting the objective

Hanzo:

We have damaged the objective
Destroy the objective
We must kill the target
This is my position

Junkrat:

Objective's dead. Hardly broke a sweat.

McCree:

Objective's dead. What's next?
I'm situated over here.

Genji:

Moving the objective to its destination.

Sombra:

The objective's almost destroyed. Is anyone concerned about that?
The objective's getting hit, someone's not doing their job.

Reaper:

Move out with the objective.

There's a LOT more but I didn't feel like uploading a hundred voicelines. Pretty sure most/all heroes have lines for

  • Destroy the objective
  • It's almost destroyed, which is good
  • It's almost destroyed, which is bad
  • Escort the objective
  • I'm over here (presumably tied to a HUD display)

These voicelines were most likely added in Uprising patch, which couldn't be datamined before yesterday due to the encryption. Might have been added more recently, though. Grabbed them all from the PTR (one encryption key is unknown)
