A quick summary of each player's most-played heroes is now available by highlighting the player in the Groups section of the Social menu (statistics displayed will dynamically change based on the mode/rule
When attackers outnumber defenders while taking a control point on Assault, Escort and Assault/Escort maps, the defenders’ respawn time will slowly increase until it hits a maximum value or the defense manages to gain the upper hand.
Developer Comments: Until now, stalling an attack by repeatedly throwing yourself at the point has been a common defensive strategy on Assault, Escort and Assault/Escort maps—even when the attackers have a decisive advantage. Typically, this tactic doesn’t change the outcome of battle; it simply delays the attackers’ progr
Overwatch is available now for PS4, Xbox One, and PC - the full patch notes for the game's latest update in the PTR can be found below. Once approved and finalized in the PTR, the patch will then roll out to final release on PC and conso
**Developer Comments: ** D.Va’s armor often made her feel like she had no weaknesses, even against heroes that are often effective against bigger targets (like Reaper). The changes to her Fusion Cannons will result in a small overall decrease in damage, but they should feel more consistent
Finally, some general changes and bug fixes have been made to the overall game. Players will no longer lose progress on their On Fire meter, your first win won't count as a loss in career mode any more, and Sombra will no longer be able to get out of the playable area on Eichenwa
Junkrat's explosion no longer hurt himself
_Developer Comments: Previously, Junkrat’s projectile speed made him difficult to use at long ranges, but the damage he took from his own explosions made him difficult to use at close ranges. This change makes him more effective at close ranges, allowing Junkrat players to explore new strategies. _ M
Another highlight from the patch is that two new skins have been officially added to the game, Oni Genji, and Officer D. Va. While both the map and the two skins were a part of the game's Public Testing Region (PTR) on Windows PC almost a month ago, this marks the first time that either of these features have been made available of everyone, regardless of platf
As millions of players tried to get online, the games servers were quickly overwhelmed. Many people couldn't log in, some couldn't even get to the character creation stage, and a few found issues with activities such as jobs and ra
Ubisoft did eventually fix the game with a couple of patches and the publisher also offered free DLC. However, given that one of these patches actually broke the game even more on Xbox One and accepting the free DLC meant that players waived their right to take the company to court, not everyone was best pleased by their effo
Like Diablo 3 , SimCity was designed to be 'always online,' so it was bad news when players found themselves unable to connect to the servers and actually play the game. This persisted for several days and EA was forced to disable several gameplay features (including leaderboards and achievements) to fix thing, but even then, some noted that there were other issues with the g
Bastion takes 35% less damage while in Configuration: Sentry or Tank
Developer Comments: The goal of these changes is to move some of Bastion's power from Configuration: Sentry to Recon, while keeping its sentry mode a strong option, especially versus tanks and barriers. Overall, Bastion should feel stronger and more flexible with these chan
Bethesda did know about the bug , but it's one that they thought that they had fixed prior to the game's launch. Thankfully, it was fixed once and for all with a post-launch patch, but not before causing a lot of headac
Essentially an extension of the Custom Game mode, the Game Broswer enables you to adjust the settings on various modes, maps, and heroes to create a uniquely designed match. For example, if you want to remove the cooldown for McCree's Combat Roll, or increase the speed of Pharah's rockets, you can. Once you're happy with your settings, you'll need to set up permissions. You can limit the people who can join your game through various options, or set your server to "Public," unleashing your creation to dairy farmers in Slovenia to Karate Teachers in Florida. You can read more about the new feature here , or watch the video below for a slightly less revealing, but still effective, overv
Blizzard Entertainment released patch notes and information on a new update that is now available in the FPS Game Guide's Public Test Region on PC. Specifically, the new update addresses some balance changes with certain Heroes, such as Roadhog's hook being a bit more balanced, while Ana, D.Va, and Sombra also have some changes in p
_Developer Comments: Zenyatta’s alternate fire often felt too difficult to use due to its long recovery time. This reduction should make it a more viable option. Also, his weapon has always had a very small amount of spread. This wasn’t enough to change the way he was played, but it would occasionally cause shots to miss that would normally hit their target. Removing this small variance should help him feel more consistent. _ ** BUG FIXES ** Gen
