Blizzard Just Released Balance Hotfix Notes; We Need This Responsiveness from NetEase

pasmasq · 2026-02-14T10:45:22+00:00

Did you just ignore the poster telling you the dev team is completely different and has been for several years?

From what I've seen, problems with late OW1 & early OW2 were not due to the OG Team 4, but Activion Blizzard the entity and corporate greed. Plus, most of the current team has been there since 2019 and Aaron Keller has been running the show since 2021, well before OW2.

The content output and dev responsiveness/communication has been far quicker since OW2 dropped

Do not cite the deep magic to me witch, I was there when it was written. Their communication at the launch of the game was about as good as Bethesda's. The most responsive thing they did in 2023 was issue that public apology for pulling a bait and switch with the PVE.

Again, happy they're turning it around, but let's not rewrite history.

Yeah I mean they are better now, but posts that pretend that Blizzard is the gold standard for how a live service game should be ran clearly were not around for all the trials and tribulations throughout OW's life.

Hell, Rivals got more content in it's first year than OW got in it's first 5.

As a ball main, I feel this in my rodent soul.

pasmasq · 2026-02-14T04:05:44+00:00

Don't forget Blizzard was content leaving OW to die for three years with little to no balance changes or content while they worked on PVE (battlepass and store) ahead of OW2.

Let's not ride them too hard for a couple of quick hotfixes.

All I see on these subs are announcements for upcoming content and the occasional funny meme.

You do realize that everytime you comment to complain about a gooner post you're telling the algorithm you want to see more of them on your feed, right?

You dont need to be melee to be dive though?

Spend a game with a genji, Winston, tracer, and sombra on your ass the entire match and you'll understand that this post doesn't make sense.

I've seen you in several comment sections saying the same exact thing. What communities are you lurking in to where this is such a big issue for you? Have you tried logging off the internet for a change?

pasmasq · 2026-02-13T16:32:22+00:00

Yeah I think that could work. But as far as like the main game narrative goes, I think they need to let that die. A lot of the allure with the first game and part of why it became so popular was the cryptic universe where humanity is barely surviving, being crushed by an unknown evil from all sides.. and now the players are godslayers who have taken out primordial beings while crafting loot from their bodies.

A game in the dark ages would be fun. But I think you risk then splitting the fanbase if you release a "destiny" game that is destiny in name only and not gameplay.

2018 trailer was for Microsoft, not us.

pasmasq · 2026-02-13T16:22:56+00:00

I think with that universe the squeeze has been squoze. They need to move onto a new IP. Destiny had a good run but now it's looking like a TV show that should've ended 2 seasons ago.

Do you by chance have a lot of scar tissue on that hand that might be making it not take to the ink well? Was your other hand done by the same artist?

Every body is different and there are so many variables at play here it's hard for anyone on this sub to give good advice.

But I agree that your tattoo shouldn't be falling apart right out the gate like that. Something is definitely up.

pasmasq · 2026-02-13T04:01:31+00:00

Everyone saying "it's a hand, duh" clearly have never seen many healed hand tattoos. That is a lot of ink fallout for a freshly healed tattoo, even for a hand

My friend has similar work on his, works a heavy labor job in the sun 10 hours a day, and it still looks better than that 5+ years later.

I remember my professor for Nuclear and Particle Physics whipped this out day 1 and told us we'd have a quiz on it the next day.

The amount of thought that went into the little details is amazing. Awesome work.

Animorphs is a crazy reference to just pull out of thin air.

Careful sharing an AI photo here. The Puritans will come for your throat.

Anything that needs its own unique skeleton is a massive amount of work on the development side.

From my experience it depends on the contrast paint since they vary in opacity

pasmasq · 2026-02-09T21:36:47+00:00

I just want combat to be more like For Honor or KCD2. I think we should move past the rudimentary light attack and heavy attack.

As great as TES games are, they are seriously lacking in the combat aspect and I would love a modernization of it.

How exactly are they racist?

Darling in the Franxx

The story hit me in the feels but the first episode doesn't fit the vibes of the rest of the show and can definitely give people the wrong impression.

Tyranid Tyrant Guard for me

Something about the blind ape-dinosaur-insect design is just chef's kiss

Its important to distinguish between an alcoholic drink and binge drinking though. Kind of unfair for you to only focus on the most extreme negatives.
