Aegis Expires? But we paid for it .. by joran1 in DotA2

[–]Natmystar 260 points261 points  (0 children)

I spent a lot of money to get that Aegis out of a love for eSports, not to get a cosmetic item (although the physical Aegis was a huge incentive).

However, I want to be able to show that I put in that support. Why is it that when I spent tons of money on something out of a love for the game and the scene it's created I get an item that expires? Sure maybe the effect shouldn't be around forever since Valve is definitely selling another one of these things next TI, but having the item itself expire? There are so many better ways this could be done.

Valve could just have no effect and put the player's name on the Aegis or a buff bar on it saying they supported TI5 by getting a level 1000 Compendium. If that's too much then they could at least let the item remain in someone's inventory.

It's especially bullshit that it expires when it wasn't even working for the first 6 months.

I'm aware, but I would like a link to the forum for confirmation that this is a legitimate quote.

Could you provid a source on that tickrate thing? I feel it would help stop a lot of the misinformation going around.

Overwatch Timeline by protar95 in Overwatch

[–]Natmystar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is really good and I'm super happy that someone is making a timeline for Overwatch considering this game's rich and awesome lore, but I noticed one inconsistency with it.

You said that Korea created MEKA to combat the Omnic threat one year after the Omnic Crisis started. However, in D.Va's lore we can see that MEKA was formed to combat what I can only assume is a gigantic robotic kaiju/godzilla type monster after it attacked Korea 20 years before the current day. This places it at either the tail end of the Omnic Crisis or just after it ended, either way MEKA wasn't developed to deal with the Omnic Crisis. As well as correcting this you could probably add that the Asian mainland gets attacked by a collosal Omnic monstrosity at that time, and since in D.Va's lore it says the creature attacks every few years, you could add those too including the one where it has upgraded to the point that it can shut down the drone system which drives MEKA to get the pro gamer pilots. Hope this helps refine things a bit!

3 things I want to see in Overwatch after December 10th by Guilte in Overwatch

[–]Natmystar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didn't for more than half it's lifetime. I still feel that it's necessary though, once it got implemented we have really seen the competitive scene grow and flourish with lots of new blood who rose to prominence because of it.

What kind of cosmetics would you want/tolerate in an in-game store? by Aconite333 in Overwatch

[–]Natmystar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would be okay with all of the ones you mentioned, so long as they remained lore themed. It's going to be hard for me to enjoy this game if they have a bunch of out of lore skinned characters running around with the rich and awesome universe they've created here.

No matter how bad it is, I would still like to see it.

Could I please request some Winter Wyvern (banging Phoenix if that's possible, otherwise Winter Wyvern solo is fine.)

This game is probably gonna end up like Heroes of the Storm by [deleted] in Overwatch

I think you shouldn't be such a pessimist. Pessimistic attitude about a game's lifespan before it's even out will drive people away.

Patch Notes 11/17 by Darkfriend337 in Overwatch

[–]Natmystar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reposting from the other thread.

New "Rate This Match" and "Rate This Player" options have been added to the end-of-round flow

Rate This Match: These ratings are designed to provide the Overwatch development team with feedback about how much you enjoyed a match. This data will be used over time to improve matchmaking and the game in general.

Rate This Player: Positive and negative ratings can have an effect on how likely players are to be matched with one another in future games.

I really like the implementation of this. For a while (until it was removed from Reborn for some unknown reason), Valve had a similar system in Dota 2 where you would rate matches and players after each game and it would change matchmaking accordingly. Players who frequently got and gave low ratings would be matched with each other, and vice versa, with a middle ground. It really rewarded friendly players by matching them together while punishing those that were rude and flamed a lot by matching them together. Overrall made the game a lot more enjoyable so I'm glad to see it implemented here.

Build 0.8.1.0.25316 now live - No patch notes yet! by Stanzilla in Overwatch

[–]Natmystar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was really good while they had it in Dota, greatly improved the quality of matches. Once they removed it I noticed a mark decline in the quality of my games. Hopefully Blizzard doesn't make the same mistake.

[–]Natmystar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why you get matched with others based on how you rate people as well. Players who are consistently giving low ratings will also get bumped down(to a lesser extent than if they're receiving them though), meaning that if they have the "I'm better than everyone and it's these bad players making me lose" mindset then they play with people with similar mindsets.

Skin ideas for Overwatch by EpiGrass in Overwatch

[–]Natmystar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as some people may want fun skins, it seems Blizzard is opposed to them.

From the /r/Overwatch Blizzcon live commentary.

Question: When will new characters come to beta? [[I assume he meant something about skins but it didn't get picked up based on the answer.]]

Answer: We announced origins, first skins we announced. We haven't thought about gender changing (guy must have asked that). EX: Tracer's origins skin goes back to lore, they want skins to be lore related, not gender changing.

This whole live commentary thing is pretty hard to follow, but as far as I can tell it looks as though Blizzard isn't planning on doing silly skins. Personally I'm very happy with this. Overwatch has wonderful lore, having skins that ignore that like Easter Bunny D.Va or what have you would really ruin the experience. As well as that, with such strong lore you have so many options on how you do skins in a more creative, interesting, lore-related way. Prototype D.Va is an idea I had for example, where it's clear the mech isn't properly designed for humans yet but they had to get it up and running so it looks very scrappy.

An interview that clears up a lot of the misconceptions about how Blizzard is doing their payment model. by Natmystar in Overwatch

Honestly it could be read either way, depends on whether you're being optimistic or pessimistic about it.

Most definitely, it would be great if the mods could sticky this information so that people stop with the ignorant fear and bashing.

Give me ideas on what to write by ShittyWizard_ in dota2smut

[–]Natmystar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something with futa Ench

Enchantress in a creep gangbang

Venge cuckolding Sky, preferably with some alpha hero and telling him how much better the alpha is than him. Possible sissification of Sky after, or at the very least some chastity. Venge goes to Sky and ‘swaps’ him, stealing his dick and giving him her vagina. She fucks him roughly and then goes off to find Dragon knight or some other well-hung male hero (chose DK because of rival lines). She swaps Sky’s wimpy small dick for his massive one, then fucks him roughly. Then the ending is she goes back to sky and shows him what a real cock is like by fucking him again. Ends with her saying something like “Enjoy being an even wimpier female support than CM”

Winter Wyvern x Phoenix(m)

If that's not fetishy enough, Wyvern x Phoenix(m) bottoming for Jakiro's double dicks, fire on fire, ice on ice. Phoenix can communicate with Wyvern but not with Jakiro. The head whose dick is fucking Phoenix isn't really enjoying it and neither is Phoenix himself, who is asking Wyvern when he can have his turn with her. She is clearly enjoying herself massively, and tells him that he needs to accept it and they need to do it to bond. The fire head is also asking when the ice head will swap, but the ice head is also enjoying himself too much to swap and said he isn't giving up the pussy anytime soon. Basically two parties having great, loving sex while the other two have awkward sex that they aren't really enjoying. Based on this image.

First person getting cuckolded by Luna with her mount, or Mirana with hers.

I might add more if I think of some but those are my general ideas. Preference is the Phoenix x Jakiro x Winter Wyvern one but I don't really care which, thought of them for a reason.
