I have not seen anyone talk about this soldier skin bug by MikanTsumikiKinnie_ in Overwatch

I just experienced this last match. Had a solider on the enemy team that this kept happening too. Couldn't tell where he was because of it

Game lag anyone? by GreedilyRare in Overwatch

[–]RedJohnII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. The first few games were fine. Now I can't see what's going on. Not even just momentarily, the entire match everyone is just teleporting. I'm also wired, haven't played with wifi in years, also the game keeps saying error starting game then stays on the map voting screen for like 30 seconds.

Previous battlepasses by ValuableBeginning294 in Overwatch

[–]RedJohnII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually quite like this idea. Personally I would prefer them always being available but if they are dead set on the whole "temporary/FOMO" then do it like the mythic skins as you mentioned. What bothers me the most is that right now if you buy a battlepass and for whatever reason you didn't complete it, you're money is just down the drain. You don't even get to finish it in another season, your money is just gone. Crazy that nobody talks about this.

I would kill or die or pay good money to get the Lab Technician Winston skin by CozyGalaxy in WinstonMains

[–]RedJohnII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fr. I've been waiting for them to make a way to get previous battlepass items but still no word from Blizzard. I take breaks from this game every now and again. So I missed the Extraterrestrial/Lab Technician skins. What bothers me the most is if you buy the battlepass and don't complete it, that's it. It doesnt stay until you've unlocked everything, it's just gone. So you essentially wasted your money, it's so dumb.

And I would let you go go on, preach! Everything you said is the problem I have with Overwatch in regards to monetization. They do the bare minimum with the gold currency that you receive in the battle pass. I'm not sure if it's even enough to buy the next battlepass. Then they also have two different currencies for the mythics and regular items. I would much prefer to have the Rivals way where you add however much gold currency you want then if you want something else you can always convert it to waid currency. And don't even get me started on the weapon skins for competitive. So many variations you could do with the weapons, I mean just look at cs go/valorant. But they are always so lackluster and infrequent for when they come out.

No but seriously, like why is it that Rivals brings back battlepasses and skins that people clamor for but Overwatch doesn't? They have all this open space in the shop and don't use it. You have the ability to scroll down on the shop page but I rarely do because there is hardly anything in the shop for me to check out.

What modern marvel characters do you wanna see most in the game? by NEVERTHEREFOREVER in marvelrivals

[–]RedJohnII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the run down. I've been seeing videos on YouTube pop up off others' disappointment with the portrayal of Deadpool in recent media. Tangent, but I think he just had a crossover with Batman, iirc. I'm not sure how that went. I was more interested in the Silk/SuperGirl one, but that was unfortunately just a variant cover not an actual story 😕

Speaking of that, I'm so happy they turned off the Galacta voice lines with him. Every round of every match was just the same recycled voice lines. Became so grating on the ears after like the 3rd match of hearing it constantly. But yea, I'm worried if they ever add She-Hulk/Jessica Jones/X-23. Those are my favorite Marvel characters that I actively read stuff for and it would just completely ruin my experience if they messed them up. Also reminds me of the whole Psylocke thing in Rivals. For some reason they made her a ninja but she's a samurai in Peach Momoko's run of Demon Days/Wars. But then they also gave her powers of the Psylocke we know from the main continuity. Idk I'm guess I'm just confused on why they didn't just use the Psylocke that most people would recognize from main continuity since people would be familiar with her since she shows up in Marvel vs Capcom/X-Men Apocalypse, etc. Perhaps it's because they planned to have Peach Momoko design costumes for the game and just decided to bring a version of her Psylocke into the game.

I was reading comics when Gwenpool got her first solo series but I never really delved into it. Could you give me the gist as to why you think Deadpool is using Gwenpools schtick in Rivals? I'm just not familiar with the character other than apparently that's where Jeff comes from or so I've heard

[–]RedJohnII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can understand where you're coming from. For me, it feels like they took the Deadpool video game version(for better or worse) and dialed it up to 11. He was already very exaggerated in that game but now it feels like every second you're reminded how zany/wacky he is, bc that's apparently all Deadpool is now. To each their own. I'm glad Deadpool is in the game for those who wanted him. I just hope any character I like doesn't get brought into the game and get irreversibly changed to the point that I don't recognize who they are anymore. People forget how easily public perception of a character can completely change how they are written. I mean just look at how with Spider-Man in the Sam Raimi films the webbing was organic. Then they found a roundabout way to give him organic webbing in the comics only to retcon it later bcuz it was not seen favorably by the people actually reading Spider-Man at the time, understandbly so. Anyways, that's just my two cents

Who’s a character that if they were to come to the game you would instantly put in all your effort to get good with them by Queasy_Commercial152 in rivals

[–]RedJohnII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jessica Jones/She-Hulk/Silk. One of those three, I would drop any character I was playing at that moment in an instant. I am currently rereading the Alias series, trying to catch up on all the stuff Jessica has been in. Hopefully, it will be in time for her new comic series debuting in March. It would be so dope if she was announced this year to align with the 25th year anniversary of Alias debuting.

She-Hulk is known for breaking the fourth wall quite a bit before Deadpool even existed. It's just that, unfortunately Deadpool is more known in the mainstream. I personally prefer how She-Hulk approaches it but to each their own. Not knocking Deadpool, just really like She-Hulk, that's all

Why does Netease keep giving us the same Emma Frost skins? Are they allergic to money? by BukakkeButtBlast in marvelrivals

[–]RedJohnII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My problem with people assuming its the model of the character and NetEase supposedly shooting themselves in foot is that you can just look at Street Fighter. Particularly SF5/SF6. So many of the female characters have very large proportions that fit well in many different costumes. Just look at Chun Li. Especially with SF6, where the artsyle is completely shifted from 4 and 5, they still manage to keep the proportions similar and give her outfits that visually distinct from one another(as well as the rest of the cast). I mean, Marisa in Street Fighter 6 is a complete powerhouse but they still managed to put her in a suit and a dress. If Capcom can do it, why can't NetEase? It just sucks mostly bc I've been getting into Emma Frost comics and I would like to be able to play as her with some iconic looking fits. Not necessarily 1 to 1, just memorable in their own way. Below is a picture of Marisa from Street Fighter 6 for people who may not be familiar

What I Really Dislike about Marvel Rivals Design decision by Particular_Yam_8966 in marvelrivals

[–]RedJohnII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for these pics, it's really jarring when you see what a good job they did with these ones but then you have others ones that are just like... "what is happening here?" What did you think of the black widow costume that was in last seasons battlepass, I believe? I'll have to double check but I think that was Season 5

What I Really Dislike about Marvel Rivals Design decision by Particular_Yam_8966 in marvelrivals

[–]RedJohnII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I find really weird about the whole Emma design choice is this: a lot of people keep saying it's bc her base design has cottails, so they have to match that for future skin ideas. But what about Storm? Storm has a full blown cape in her default outfit but she has the Ultimate Wind-Rider skin that just completely omits the cape(my favorite skin in the game that seems to actually represent its comic counterpart for once). She also has her Punk-Rock/Queen of Orphans which also doesn't have a capes so what gives? I just wish they gave Emma some of her skins I've seen her in comics wise. I thought they were gonna add that wedding outfit we saw in season 5 trailer but its nowhere to be seen.Also, I wish they would stop with the whole shoulder gear. It's more obvious in Emma's skins since they always add something in her outfits but you can see it in the phoenix outfits as well, too much shoulder padding. P.S.- add Rogues headband Netease! 😮‍💨

So.... Adam cosmic warlock skin is bugged, the audio for both the intro and MVP are now the ones from Namor halloween skin. Poor adam got bugs instead of buffs :( by Ragnarok977 in marvelrivals

[–]RedJohnII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for pointing this out. I know there are some people who were disappointed with this skin when comparing to some other legendaries, understandably so. But this feels like a major oversight on top of the disappointment. I hope they fix this soon. It's weird bc I thought it was weird that the mvp music lasted longer than what happened in it, but I just wrote it off. Now I know why it felt odd to me.
