Developer Update | Pink Mercy Charity Event | Overwatch

Posted: 08 May 2018 11:22 AM PDT

For everyone complaining about Pink Mercy's price: you're not buying the skin, it's a gift for the donation you're making.

Posted: 08 May 2018 01:14 PM PDT

I've seen many people complaining about Mercy's new skin, saying "OMG this skin is so fucking expensive Blizzard why".

First of all: if you can't afford the skin or if you'd buy it for less money, it'd be a great idea to donate that money you'd pay to any breast cancer charity (or any charity for that matter!). The more money we can get to them, the closer we'll be to winning the fight against breast cancer.

Second of all: if you're just here to complain, remember that some games like Fortnite sell skins for around $20 each, and NONE OF THAT MONEY goes to charity, as far as we know. This skin is just a gift that Blizzard gives you for helping against breast cancer.

I'm not pulling a gun to your head saying that you should buy the skin or you're a heartless monster, I'm just saying that instead of complaining, take a few seconds to grab as much as you can, even if it's a few cents, and donate it to breast cancer. Every little money we can get means A LOT.

Thank you everyone and I really hope that one day we can beat ALL cancer once and for all. <3

The Girl Problem: An Open Letter to the Overwatch Community

Posted: 08 May 2018 03:25 AM PDT

To start, I should say that Overwatch has been a positive influence on my life overall. When the community is good, it's great! I've formed many lasting friendships, and I'm currently in a relationship of almost a year with someone I met through the game.

But Overwatch has a problem with women. Not all players are like that--not even the majority. But enough assholes are loud enough to ruin the experience for so many girls I know, and we as a community can do better.

I'm a woman. I like to play comp, and I get on voice to make call-outs and provide encouragement. For the most part, it's fine and we all have a good time (except when the enemy Junkrat somehow gets his ult every push.) But there are times when teammates get toxic in a way that doesn't get applied to male players. And sometimes the very presence of a female voice in the chat is enough to set people off--it's not funny when you ask me if I'll send nudes, or if I'll perform an obscene act for you. (Even if you're "joking," it's really not funny, I promise.) It's grating to be continually asked if I'm a Mercy main since I'm a girl, or for you to demand that I pocket you. (I don't play Mercy. Sorry. How about Lucio?)

It's especially not funny to be harassed, to have people make videos of them "trolling" me (and to receive dozens of hateful messages after), to be told to kill myself, to be called a bimbo and a slut and much, much worse. I've blocked people who then make multiple accounts to continually harass me. When playing with my girlfriend, we've been called all kinds of sexist epithets, plus an extra helping of homophobia when they find out we're dating.

And despite all this, I still get on mic and speak. Partly because I'm not about to let a few sweaty manchildren ruin my gaming experience, but partly because it's more than just me. Time and time again, I've had other girls timidly get on mic when they hear my voice and express their relief at hearing another girl. They say they don't usually talk out of fear, but that it's nice to hear a friendly voice. People say that there aren't any girl gamers, but that couldn't be further from the truth--you've just create a climate where they're too scared to talk, because many of them have experienced the same things as me.

I know most of you are decent people. I'm lucky to have a close circle of players who are talented, kind people. But we as a community need to do a better job of standing up against this kind of poor behavior. More than just reporting it when you see it (although I wholly recommend doing that): make it known that you don't tolerate sexist conduct. Even a simple "hey man, that's not cool" can both (1) let the harasser know that their behavior isn't condoned and (2) let the harassee know that decent people do exist. The silence of complicity and the silence of dissent sound the same--speak up to make your true colors shine.

So please: be mindful, foster an environment that welcomes female players, and don't forget to push the payload!

ETA: Thanks for the (mostly) supportive response, I appreciate it! It means a lot to me that the average person still knows how to be polite. Like I said, it's the good eggs who make this community what it is.

A couple people have said things akin to "this is the internet, grow a thicker skin, etc." I'm well aware of how the internet can be, and I do have a tremendously thick skin as a result. It's not me I'm worried about; a lot of people don't have such a thick skin, and it's those girls who aren't as hardened as I am who really suffer. Just because I'm a hardened shrew doesn't mean we all have to be.

People have also said things akin to "if you don't want to be subject to homophobic harassment when you're playing with your girlfriend, you shouldn't announce to people that you guys are dating." Aside from putting the blame on me (which I think is unfair), I don't think these people understand the dynamics at play. It's not like I announce to everyone "Hey guys, this is my girlfriend! We are dating!" (although I really ought to, because she's a phenomenal woman). What generally happens is one of us will refer to other as "babe" during a game (e.g., "nice Deadeye, babe"), then someone asks if we're dating, and then all hell breaks loose.

Also, every person who responded to this post with "shut up Mercy bitch" just proved my point. I know you think you're hilarious but you're not gonna get a comedy special for your scathing wit.

Usually a support main, friends were sucking at dps..... “why don’t you try DPS one round” I’m pretty proud of this clip.

Can we get a testicular cancer awareness skin down the road please?

Posted: 08 May 2018 12:26 PM PDT

I mean I don't have very high hopes but it'd be really nice to see at some point. I'd definitely buy that along with the mercy breast cancer awareness skin.

In Mercy's new Pink charity skin, her beam and the Chinese character in the Fortune highlight intro turn pink! ����

Posted: 08 May 2018 03:22 PM PDT

For anyone compaining about the skin's price, you can donate any amount on BCRF site.

Posted: 08 May 2018 12:13 PM PDT

Link: https://www.bcrf.org/

However, if you want to be rewarded with a skin for your donation, you have to donate a X or higher amount. I mean, there are so many people involved in this cause doing a lot of things for free without expecting anything in return, you shouldn't be complaining about a donation you don't have to make. I think the way this event in particular is running it's already benefiting everyone involved in the Overwatch community.

Edit: complaining* =_=

I like to draw OW characters in evening wear.

My wife told be about a post last night of people wanting to see character skins for an evening in Rialto - well maybe you all will enjoy this! I've been doodling some of my favorite OW characters in evening wear for a couple months now! May I present:

Pink Mercy Skin

Posted: 08 May 2018 02:36 PM PDT

I lost my mom to breast cancer almost exactly a year ago, so seeing Blizzard do this fundraiser is awesome. I'm glad they picked a great charity too. I don't play Mercy much at all, but best $$ I've ever spent on a skin. Thanks Blizzard!

I'm in absolute awe over how generous people I've met in overwatch are.

Posted: 08 May 2018 03:25 PM PDT

(First of all ignore the quality of my photo)

But I'm absolutely blown away with how nice some of people I've met on overwatch are. I befriended two people just randomly playing some quick play and slowly we became really good friends. We've been playing overwatch together for over a month now and I've always expressed my love for wanting a pink skin for one of my mains. None of them seem to have them. And when I seen this one I was blown away. Not only cause it's a skin I could have only ever imagined. But it's for a cause that it extremely close to my heart, I usually donate my money to this charity when I can so, to see this many people doing the same thing makes me feel extremely happy, even if they are just doing it to get the skin...every little helps right ?. Unfortunately this time i was unable to donate like I usually do . But here i am still expressing my excitement even though I somewhat knew I might not be able to own it use it (and to hopefully raise more awareness for the charity)

Anyway I was playing and speaking to my friend about it and how long I've supported the charity And how much it means to me that my favourite video game are supporting them too... (They also know I love the colour pink and I'm a mercy main, with all of Mercys other items)

I got a notification in my battle net browser telling me I had a gift. And my friend had gifted me the new skin. After hearing how much I support them They said it was the least they could do to support them.

They sure did make a 24 year old man cry.

Disconnected for ~60sec, joined the game, played for 9min 30sec, won the game = 30sec left on a suspension and -50 SR. What?

Posted: 08 May 2018 09:24 AM PDT

Not that big'a deal, but slightly annoying. Internet was restarted so took me a minute give or take to get straight into the match.

Blizzard should host a competition for custom games, where the most creative one becomes an arcade gamemode

Posted: 08 May 2018 01:26 AM PDT

I think it would spice up creativity in the custom games browser. From what I have seen, it is pretty stale atm.

What if for the Anniversary Event we get an arcade mode that lets you play as every character as they were released?

Posted: 08 May 2018 07:54 AM PDT

I feel like this would be a fun little throwback and would allow newer players to experience what it was like when the game first released. Reaper's soul collecting, Mercy huge rez, hanzo scatter, sad Bastion, Doomfist giant punch, Roadhog super hook with one shot, etc.

Obviously nothing competitive, but just a fun game mode in arcade for the anniversary event.
