In a time of global crisis, an international task force of soldiers, scientists, adventurers, and oddities known as Overwatch came together to restore peace to a war-torn world. After many years, the group’s influence waned, and it was eventually disbanded. Overwatch might be gone now . . . but the world still needs heroes.

The World Needs Heroes!​

Cinematic Trailer



Yes! it is Blizzard's new franchise after 17 long years!​


Today at BlizzCon 2014, the world got its first glimpse at Overwatch™, our new pick-up-and-play first-person shooter featuring an amazing cast of heroes and set in a technologically advanced, highly stylized future earth. Harnessing the incredible powers of their hero of choice, players will join forces in teams of six and battle each other across a range of futuristic global locations.

Overwatch is a competitive 6 vs 6 team-based FPS centered around capturing control points, featuring a near-future superhero vs. super villain theme. Development on the game is being led by Jeff Kaplan, a former World of Warcraft game director.

Gameplay Trailer


​

The heroes of Overwatch each bring their own distinct weapons and superabilities to bear. Here’s just a glimpse of the numerous heroes that will ultimately fill Overwatch’s rosters:

  • Tracer, a former British test pilot who shrugs at danger, can execute impossible acrobatic assaults thanks to her ability to teleport, drop energy bombs, and even reverse time.
  • Reinhardt, a hulking German soldier in battle armor, can charge great distances and pin his enemies to a wall or slam the ground with his rocket hammer to knock them off their feet.
  • Hanzo, a bow-wielding Japanese mercenary, has the ability to scale walls with his bare hands, fire off a tracking device that illuminates nearby enemies for his team, and unleash a huge spirit dragon that does grievous damage to all enemies in its path.
  • Symmetra, an Indian architech, manipulates light and energy to shield her allies and damage her enemies—and she can turn the tide of any battle by building a device that instantly transports her teammates to the front lines.

Hero Bio's
  • Tracer
  • Reaper
  • Widowmaker
  • Winston
  • Pharah
  • Reinhardt
  • Symmetra
  • Torbjörn
  • Bastion
  • Hanzo
  • Mercy

It is a huge leap for them diving into a different genre where we have already proven games but let's wait and see if Blizzard can pull something off here.

wonder what the system reqs will be??
This was one of the question to the panelists today and this was their response. :)
Q: What are the system requirements? Should we go buy a new PC right now?
A: "The vendors would love that, but it's too early to talk system requirements. They haven't even done system optimizations yet.
Something to note though, Blizzard has a pretty good track record of running on a broad range of machines" - Kaplan

Nice OP .
Thanks man.

Let's hope they price reasonably :| and with better drops / loots / rewards etc.

Overwatch is fully playable and running on 600 PCs at BlizzCon this weekend. PCGamer already did a hands-on and their first impression report says why it isn't just TF2 - part II.

It is a huge leap for them diving into a different genre where we have already proven games but let's wait and see if Blizzard can pull something off here.

FPS genre is basically dominated by Valve and Dice right now and its really hard to break that. Dice was ave to break domination of COD because COD made a lot of mistakes but Valve haven't made mistakes so far and people hate to leave their comfort zone. Numerous games and came and fallen on their face of MOBA and FPS genre like TF2 because they can't survive against Valve. Lets not forget that Valve is the one company who managed to break the domination of Blizzard in MOBA with their DOTA 2. And lets not forget that crowd hate Blizzard for their shitty DRMs and love Valve even though they give DRM but thav a better approach towards it.
After witnessing all of these, I hardly think that this game would be any different.

Duuuude, Have you never heard of World of Warcraft ?
WoW is the greatest MMORPG of all times, it doesnt need to have cutting edge graphics, its a freaking MMORPG and it was launched in 2004.. Cutting edge graphics in a MMORPG game where hundreds of players are on screen at the same time will require a massive CPU and GPU overhead, something that isnt even possible today (Star Citizen is pretty close ;))...We werent even talking about gameplay in the first place, I responded to [MENTION=150630]sam_738844[/MENTION]'s original comment about a full length CGI movie, something Blizzard is very capable of..
Here are some more examples of excellent Blizzard cinematics
[YOUTUBE]watch?v=3V1PwpoDqzM[/YOUTUBE]
another thing that justifices sam's statement about a blizzard movie is that blizzard franchises like Warcraft and Starcraft have immensely rich and NON SPECULATIVE lore .. there are books, games, animations, resources based on Chris Metzen's creations... Every main character in Warcraft has had his own story line, which is what makes it so complicated and multifaceted for a movie.. You could literally take ANY main character from the game like Illidan from Frozen Throne and make a movie out of him and it would not suck (atleast not from the story perspective)

Infact, the Warcraft movie is on it's way, Blizzard actually released a logo teaser trailer sometime back.. sadly, it wont be full CGI like we wanted :( (dem CGI is costly)

Not Talking about realistic visuals. Blizzard Cinematic cut-scenes are like a beautiful song, not a very realistic piece of literature, but a song, about elves and swords and good vs evil and swarms and stuff, feels like legends written in words.

As much I hate Blizzard, I can't deny the fact that their lore is awesome. I played both the SC2 games and man, those cinematic were awesome. I have played a fair share of games but no one comes even close to Blizzard in this regard.

Your ping to SEA will most probably be <100ms unless you have BSNL ISP, in that case it might go beyond simply because there are multiple unnecessary hops included.

So which country did you set it to when creating a Battle.net account and does it matter?

I'm thinking India. But I'm not sure how regional content works. Is it like PSN where choosing your country from the start defaults the store to that region?

Or should I go with US or maybe UK? Which currency have you guys purchased the game in? I don't wanna have a problem with DLC Region locks.

Thanks.

Blizzard games are global.

Only thing is your progress won't transfer.
If you play on North America and have level 100 character, this won't show up in Europe/SEA/China/Korea. You will have to start fresh.

Your friendlist won't transfer as well. New friends.

Only character and progress is local. But overwatch type of game would need you to have good pings so I think you should select a region near you. Probably Singapore/SEA. Don't think India region alone would have as many players.

Blizzard is a huge company, why would it sit inside steam and give profits to valve.
Both companies have same revenue.

blizzard just doesn't give a rats ass about India, so not popular in India..
unlike EA, Activision, Valve.

Yes! They do sales during the major and popular festivals/holidays in the US like Halloween or Thanksgiving/Black Friday and at times randomly. They don't do more than 50% usually, so don't expect more than that. Sales happen in Battle.net, Amazon.com, BestBuy and Gamestop to name the main players. Blizzard did not have digital distribution outside of Battle.net, so resellers only got to sell physical copies for quite a long time. (All those keys from unauthorized key shops like G2A are ones scratched off physical copies). But over the last year I have seen digital keys being sold in Amazon.com and Gamestop officially. So that's a good thing and you have more options to hunt for deals. There is no 4-pack concept like Steam and going by Blizzard's trend, we can't expect a deal for Overwatch this year. You can expect a 25-50% off next year fall and can expect a 25-50% reduction in base price in 2018 or 2019 i.e for example, Overwatch Origins edition will drop from $60 to $40 and on top of it you will have a chance to get it at $20 during holidays.

I have all Blizzard games as physical in my shelf as I am a collector right from Diablo 1 days, so I used to import thru' some channel from the US. Amazon global delivery is now doing Video Games category to India so that is an option if you want physical. Import duty for games is quite high though.

Season 1 Ending Soon


Hey, everyone.

With the first season of Competitive Play coming to an end very soon, we wanted to lay out a few key dates and important pieces of information regarding the upcoming season roll.

DATE AND TIMES

Season 1 will officially end on Wednesday, August 17 at 5:00 p.m. PT (August 18 at 12:00 a.m. UTC). For time zone assistance, and to see when Season 1 will end in your region, visit thetimezoneconverter.com.

Season 2 is currently scheduled to launch on September 6, but this could shift as we continue to work on system improvements. We will be sure to share the exact date and time as we get closer to its release.

SEASON 1 REWARDS

If you completed your placement matches during Season 1, you will eligible to receive a special spray and player icon. These will be unlocked automatically when you log into your account the first time after the season ends. If at any point during the season you managed to break into the Top 500 players on your platform (and in your region), you’ll receive an extra player icon and animated spray on top of the other seasonal rewards.

Aside from sprays and icons, you’ll also receive a number of Competitive Points based on the maximum skill rating you achieved during the season.

Here’s the Skill Rating (SR) to Competitive Point (CP) breakdown for Season 1:
SR 0-39: 10 CPs
SR 40-45: 20 CPs
SR 46-49: 40 CPs
SR 50-52: 60 CPs
SR 53-55: 80 CPs
SR 56-59: 120 CPs
SR 60-64: 200 CPs
SR 65+: 300 CPs


STAY TUNED!

Throughout Season 1, we’ve been listening to the community and modifying our plans based on your feedback. We really appreciate hearing your opinions, and can’t thank you enough for taking the time to help us make Overwatch better.

Overwatch tick rate on PC increasing as high bandwidth servers roll out​


Blizzard is adding high bandwidth support globally for Overwatch players on PC, which will increase the client refresh rate from 21 Hz to 63 Hz.

A High Bandwidth option was added to Custom Games during beta and due to positive results in both testing and player feedback, the option will be implemented.

With a higher tick rate, the game will become more responsive by reducing the amount of time between completing an action and when the player’s “client hears back about the result.” Blizzard has also added tech which will automatically scale down the update rate if the player’s internet can’t maintain a steady connection.

Since servers with high bandwidth will increase bandwidth consumption, the team is looking into an option which will allow players to “self-limit” the update rate in a future patch.

The rollout will take a few weeks for all regions, after which all games including Quick Play and Competitive Play will run in high bandwidth mode by default.

Blizzard is also exploring how to bring high bandwidth support to consoles.

^^ IT WAS 21 TICK? DAMN. CSGO feels laggy even at 64 tick. I can only imagine how 21 tick was. CSGO 3rd party servers are however 128 tick(which feels amazing to play on)

First is that you might get scammed.

Second is that.....the account is always linked to email address. Provided that email address is also given to you then also he can have his account back by giving Blizzard the information only he can provide. (For e.g If I sell my steam account to someone then I can scam him because I have CD keys of retail games and by providing them to Valve I can get my account back as well as the money poor guy gave me. :D )

Third is that if Blizzard finds that you bought a account it might ban that account.

Overwatch ptr now available - august 17, 2016

*imgur.com/a/254Cy

​

Please note that the below patch notes only include changes currrently available for testing on the PTR. While many of these changes will also be available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in a future patch, the PTR is PC-only and therefore will only reflect changes coming specifically to that platform.

PATCH HIGHLIGHTS

Competitive Play Season 2

We've made some big changes to Competitive Play in anticipation of the launch of Season 2 on September 6. The most noticeable change is the introduction of skill tiers, which we hope will better communicate players' relative skill levels. Competitive Play will put a greater emphasis on skill tiers over specific ratings, and as such, a player's tier will be more prominently displayed throughout the game. We've also switched the skill rating system to a 1-5000 scale to give players more detailed information about how each match affects their specific rating.

Sudden Death is also going away in Season 2. Instead, matches that are tied when the clock runs out end in a draw—though, it should be a rare occurrence. Because of this, we've made some changes to our game modes in Competitive Play to help reduce the chance that a draw will occur.

We've also made a few minor adjustments to leaver penalties, the top 500 system, and the competitive point system. Read on below to learn more!

GENERAL UPDATES

General

When activating the "Ultimate Status" communication, Symmetra now reports the number of charges left on her teleporter
When activating the "Needs healing" communication while targeting a teammate, Ana, Lúcio, Mercy, and Zenyatta will now tell allies to group up to receive healing. A marker will appear above the player's head, allowing teammates to locate the healer more quickly
Added Torbjörn as an AI-controlled hero in Practice vs. AI, Play vs. AI, and Custom Game modes
Sit and laugh emotes are now unlockable for all heroes

Competitive Play

Skill rating is now measured on a 1-5000 scale instead of the former 1-100 scale
Skill Rating Tiers
Players will now be assigned to a tier, depending on their skill rating
Bronze - 1-1499
Silver - 1500-1999
Gold - 2000-2499
Platinum - 2500-2999
Diamond - 3000-3499
Master - 3500-3999
Grandmaster - 4000-5000
In Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond tiers, a player will not drop out of their tier even if their skill rating falls below the cutoff
In Master and Grandmaster tiers, a player whose skill rating falls below the tier's minimum
Skill Rating Decay
Players in Diamond, Master, and Grandmaster tiers that haven't participated in a competitive match for 7 days will lose skill rating
Players with a skill rating above 3000 (Diamond tier or higher) will lose 50 rating points every 24 hours, but their rating will not fall below 3000
Competing in a single match will halt skill rating decay
Players that haven't participated in a competitive match for 7 days will immediately drop out of the top 500
Map Changes
Several refinements have been made to the time bank system for Hanamura, Temple of Anubis, and Volskaya Industries
The time bank system has been added to Dorado, Hollywood, King's Row, Numbani, Route 66, and Watchpoint: Gibraltar
Time granted for taking objectives on Dorado, Hanamura, Hollywood, King's Row, Numbani, Route 66, Temple of Anubis, Volskaya Industries, and Watchpoint: Gibraltar has been reduced from 5 minutes to 4
Competitive Points
Existing competitive points saved from Season 1 will be multiplied by 10
After winning a competitive match, players will now receive 10 competitive points (instead of 1)
Players will now receive 3 competitive points for a draw
The cost of golden weapons has also been multipled by 10 from 300 to 3000
A soft cap is being placed on the number of competitive points that can be saved
Players with more than 6000 points at the start of season 2 will no longer accrue points by playing competitive matches
End-of-season rewards will still be granted to players at the soft cap
Instead of going into sudden death, tied competitive matches will now result in a draw (click here to learn more)
Players must now win at least 50 competitive matches to be eligible for a spot in the top 500
Players must now complete more matches to clear their penalty status for leaving a competitive match early
Players of drastically different skill ratings (more than 500) will no longer be able to group together in competitive matches

HERO BALANCE UPDATES

General

Ultimates that consume the ultimate meter when activated will now drain the meter more quickly (.25 second instead of 1 second)
Reverted a recent change to reduce size of heroes' projectiles

Developer Comments: Altering the size of projectiles in flight had too many unintended side effects to keep in the game, at least in its current form. We will continue watching this and make additional changes if necessary.

D.Va

Defense Matrix
After being activated, Defense Matrix will begin regenerating following a 1-second delay (formerly .5 seconds)

Developer Comments: Defense Matrix was too efficient when tapped repeatedly, instead of being held. Now, the recovery delay matches the ability cooldown.

Hanzo

Hanzo will now experience a 30% decrease in speed while aiming (formerly 40%)
Maximum projectile speed has been increased by 30%

Developer Comments: Hanzo has the potential to deal a lot of damage, but he can feel really inconsistent, even at a medium distance. By increasing the projectile speed, we’re extending his reliable range, making it easier to land shots without having to perfectly predict enemy movement.

Mei

Blizzard
The Blizzard projectile now pierces barriers
Radius has been increased from 8 meters to 10 meters

Developer Comments: Mei has an interesting toolkit, but her ultimate often felt like it was too difficult to use effectively. Consequently, it felt weak compared to many other ultimate abilities. The freeze effect has been piercing barriers for some time now, but the projectile would still be blocked. Now, you can throw it down exactly where you want it, so it’s much easier to utilize the full radius effectively.

McCree

Deadeye
Now drains over a .25-second period (instead of displaying a 50% reduction on the ultimate meter when activated and 0% when confirmed)

Developer Comments: If players managed to counter or avoid McCree's ultimate, it would often regenerate very quickly since only half of the ultimate charge was spent. Now, this ultimate works like every other ultimate that has a duration.

Mercy

Caduceus Staff
Healing Beam
Healing-per-second has been increased by 20%
Resurrect
Resurrected allies will be able to maneuver after 2.25 seconds (reduced from 3 seconds)

Developer Comments: Resurrection now allows teammates to jump back into the fight more quickly, which should help Mercy survive after activating her ultimate. Mercy's healing is also getting a boost to solidify her role as a strong, single-target healer.

Genji

Double jump no longer resets when wall climbing
Dash
No longer deals damage to traps like Widowmaker's Venom Mine or Junkrat's Steel Trap
No longer bypasses Junkrat's Steel Trap
Swift Strike
No longer interrupts quick melee attacks
Dragonblade
Duration of Genji's ultimate has been reduced from 8 seconds to 6 seconds

Developer Comments: Genji was a little too difficult to pin down, and these changes will balance his speed. Swift Strike no longer cancels the recovery time from a quick melee attack, so players will no longer be able to get a free melee attack before using Swift Strike. Lastly, Dragonblade's duration was long enough that it often felt too difficult to reasonably counter.

Lúcio

Amp It Up
The boosting of movement speed has been decreased by 30% (from a 100% increase to a 70% increase)

Developer Comments: Thanks to Lúcio's speed increase, he was almost a must pick in every lineup.

Roadhog

Chain Hook
If the hooked target isn't in Roadhog's line of sight when retracting the hook, they will be moved back to the position where they were originally hooked

Developer Comments: This change means that hooked targets will be less likely to slide along walls, potentially ending up in an odd place after they've been reeled in.

Zenyatta

Orb of Discord
The amount of damage amplified by a target with Orb of Discord has been decreased from 50% to 30%
Orb of Destruction
Damage has been increased from 40 to 46

Developer Comments: Zenyatta is in a far better place since the last update, but the strength of Orb of Discord has turned him into an almost mandatory pick. These changes reduce Orb of Discord's effectiveness, but his damage-dealing potential has been increased. The amount of damage that he delivers should feel largely unaffected by the change.

MAP BALANCE CHANGES

Watchpoint: Gibraltar

Watchpoint: Gibraltar’s first checkpoint has been removed

Developer Comments: The balance changes that were implemented in previous patches have eliminated the need for Watchpoint: Gibraltar to have an extra checkpoint.

USER INTERFACE UPDATES

General

A new "Allied Health Bars" option has been added (Options > Controls)
Contextual menus have been added on the hero selection screen, giving players the ability to report or group up with other players
Matchmaking UI is now purple in the Competitive Play queue
Made several minor adjustments to typography in the Spectator UI

BUG FIXES

General

Fixed a bug that allowed the kill participation metric to go above 100 percent
Fixed a bug in the Custom Game settings preventing the Ability Cooldown modifier from affecting Ana
Fixed a bug that caused heroes to die when first spawned in a custom game if Health and Damage modifiers were used simultaneously
Fixed a bug preventing the hero list in Custom Game settings from being organized alphabetically
The spectate option now becomes unavailable (the button will be greyed out) when all spectator slots have been filled in a Custom Game lobby
Fixed an issue causing in-game statistics to run off the edge of the screen in 16:10 aspect ratio

AI

Fixed a bug that caused Bastion to become stuck, continuously healing himself in the spawn area

Heroes

Appropriate sound effects now play when Ana shoots barriers, shields, and armor
D.Va no longer communicates her ultimate status for Self-Destruct while charging her Call Mech ultimate
Hanzo's Spirit Dragon voice line now plays when using his Okami and Lone Wolf skins
Fixed various issues with Junkrat's emote and highlight animations
Fixed an issue causing Mei's Ice Wall to push herself to the side when cast at her feet
Fixed a bug preventing Mei's Ice Wall from being destroyed by a moving payload
Fixed a bug that prevented Mei's Ice Wall from appearing at the target location when cast
Fixed a bug allowing Reaper to reach unintended map locations using Shadow Step
Fixed a bug causing Reinhardt's shield to jitter when turning in third person
Fixed an issue that prevented Roadhog's chain from displaying correctly in some situations
Fixed several issues with Symmetra's emotes and highlight intros
The scarf on Tracer's Slipstream skin is no longer stiff in the Hurdle highlight intro
Fixed a bug preventing overtime from being triggered while Zenyatta is using Transcendence
The names of Tracer's Sprinter and Track and Field skins now display correctly

Maps

Fixed an issue preventing Genji and Hanzo from reliably climbing a specific crate on Watchpoint: Gibraltar

Guys, how are the PC pings for BSNL users? And is there a way to check ping/latency before buying the game?
And what is the total download size currently?
Thank you.

Next patch preview live on PTR


HERO BALANCE UPDATES

Ana

Nano Boost
Ultimate cost has been increased by 20%
Biotic Grenade
Radius has been increased from 3 to 4 meters
Developer Comments: So far, we haven't seen any indication that Ana is too strong overall, but her ultimate charges a little too fast, especially considering the impact it can have on a match. Also, her Biotic Grenades are getting a small boost to help her hit multiple targets.

Widowmaker

Widow's Kiss
Scoping-in animation time has been reduced from 0.5 to 0.3 seconds
Developer Comments: This change will help Widowmaker acquire new targets more quickly and speed up her reaction time in fast-paced situations.

Junkrat

RIP-Tire
Ability now activates more quickly
Developer Comments: Junkrat can be an extremely effective hero in the right hands, but RIP-Tire often felt underpowered when compared to his counterparts.

Widow is BACK

She is not that strong and talking abt close range reaper can do more dmg then her

and her ulti is useless if ur team have good genji or tracer ( With better map awareness )

You can't compare Reaper (Offensive) with her (Support). In right hands, she can do more damage/kills even before u realize she is there. Only problem is that her ult is useless and hence in Comp no one prefer her.

U didn't get the point , whatever she can do others hero can do more then her then why u pick her

And u are saying she is good at dmg then why I can't compare with offensive heros if I want dmg

I m hav 3 hr play time with her

Only time I pick her is on maps like
King's row mostly on 1st point defense
Hanamura 1st point defense

Come over to my place, its sort of december shutdown.
I want to know the pings on Act broadband. I also have a Airtel connection but the line quality in my area is bad.
Also will try pings on Jio 4g.

I was in Japan during that free weekend thing happened.

How does this compare to paladins? Felt lot of initial grind is required in Paladins. Is overwatch like CSGO where all players are on level playing field or any grind is required for cards, power ups, guns etc?
