We had a girl. Didn't find out either so we were surprised. She's doing very well.

You have a beautiful daughter. Having my 2 kids was definitely the greatest thing in my life.

Re: Overwatch

Beautiful little lady sir. I have another (2nd) little boy due in September. Did any one post the patch update yet? If not

Fixed connection bug when timing out on initial login
Fixed an issue with voice-chat that could lead users to loosing voice communications for the entirety of the game

Good interview with Jeff Kaplan, the game's director, here: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...-big-questions

Whilst we're talking new heroes, how did you find it when people started speculating that a new hero, called Sombra, was about to be revealed around the time of your last animated short? Was that strange, from your perspective?

Jeff Kaplan: No, it was not strange. We have put a lot of hints, all over the game and out of the game, so I would say it's about time that people are concerned with who Sombra is. I hope they keep researching more and find more hints that are out there.

So they haven't found everything yet?

Jeff Kaplan: No. No sir.

Re: Overwatch

So that little patch I downloaded is supposed to fix voice chat issues if anyone was wondering like I was.

Maybe that was the problem I had that one night with you guys. I'm not sure, it worked fine the other two times I was using it in this game.

She's beautiful, congrats.

I have two older kids and a third on the way (we find out if it's going to be a boy or girl in 2 weeks).

Good times.

Re: Overwatch

Tracer is becoming more fun for me to use. Can really be a nuisance to the their team.

Yeah, she's fun to use. I'm also getting better with Genji since I started focusing more on his mobility (climbing walls and double jumping can make you a really tough target to hit). Still learning how to use Dragonblade, though I have had some nice runs with it - that Ult can wipe a team by itself if you

I start seeing switches to Winston during matches while I use him, so I figure I must be playing well.

Re: Overwatch

Great games last night PC crew! We had some fantastic team work going on, now we just need to get everyone on discord so we don't need to use the in game chat. Me, Bcruise, and Choadler are in Sbauer's discord channel everytime we are on, really helpful.

Sand using Lucio's speed boost on Reinhardt was really helpful to get "the wall" back pushing the payload quickly. I was having a blast playing Reinhardt last night, a big giant wrecking ball!

Yeah, using Lucio I can see why pro players consider him to be a top tier character. The ability to speed up Reinhardt, McCree, Roadhog is huge for getting the heavy hitters right back into the fight. He's definitely my favorite hero in the game so far.

I'll have to jump on the discord also next time we play.

Re: Overwatch

Anyone on ps4 looking to group up? I've had 3 matches so far with all randoms and we haven't escorted past one checkpoint yet on offense, getting gold medal with only 8 elims, yikes

Re: Overwatch

Does anyone feel like the vertical sensitivity is much more "precise" than the horizontal sensitivity on ps4?

Feels like I look up and down way faster than I look left and right

There are two different sensitivities for horizontal and vertical. I think vertical is slower by default, unless you mess with the settings.

urogamer had a lengthy interview with Jeff Kaplan about Overwatch: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...-big-questions

Quick Summary:
There's a big discussion about how the ranked mode works (which is still targeting the end of June). It's now a system where you can rank up and down. The game will try to match you by skill, and at equal party sizes. The seasons will last about 2.5 months.

There will be more information about the new maps and heroes coming starting a bit later into the Summer.

They're already working on updates all the way through to early next year so they have a steady rate of new content, though they're open to changing the rate based on community feedback.

The first few new heroes will be released one at a time since beta players reacted very negatively to three being released at once.

Jeff confirms Sombra is real and that we haven't found all the hints in the game about her yet. Apparently I wasn't thorough enough. Presumably she's the first new hero coming.

They're open to the idea of Xbox and PlayStation players playing together, but have made no progress on this topic as of yet.

Jeff notes that the server runs at a tick rate of 60, though that the client could be updated to run at 60 as well if more people are willing to test it in the custom game mode. Currently it doesn't work for about 20% of their player base and they need more people to test it before it can be rolled out to Quick Play. He does say most of the killed around corner issues are from latency though, and not the tick rate.

McCree's Fan The Hammer damage is getting nerfed so that it doesn't kill tanks, definitely kills lightweight heroes, and maybe kills medium health heroes.

D.Va is either going to get a damage buff (mostly in terms of lowering the rate at which damage drops off over distance) or survivability buff, but not both. They're testing both options currently. This will be later than the McCree nerf, which sounds like it's soon.

Play of the Game is going to get new cinematic camera angles to make plays looks better.

Starting to learn Hanzo now. Love the recon arrow.

Between Winston, Hanzo, and Lucio/symmetra I'm feeling pretty good.

Re: Overwatch

I have been trying to use Hanzo and Widowmaker today and I thought I had a decent game with Widow but after the game got a hate message saying (I'll post PG version) "really sucked, should quit the game, and commit suicide."

I responded with my stats and said "Scoreboard" and apparently he said I'm terrible,because I didn't kill Bastion every time he was up. I was gonna go into how half mi kills were Bastion but whatever.
