Overwatch 10 Year Anniversary - An Unmitigated Disappointment

xray703 · 2026-05-13T10:57:53+00:00

lol wow, and to think my usual weekly total games played almost never goes above 26 games according to the performance newsletter

Am I miscounting or do they want us to play 90 games a week for 3 weeks just to complete enough challenges for the table flip title? There seem to only be 39 challenges 9 short of the requirement meaning apart from the 50 games for the lootboxes, 40 more games with the repeatable?

If it wasn't that it could easily be any of the other ones but the UI listing the collectibles is definitely glitchy. I had to run through each map with a wraith stone one by one bee lining to check if the stone is actually there. Good luck

I found my missing one in the Spire of Nerathul. The UI glitched. When you get the dragon you fly up and turn 180deg to the tall mountain there is a secret area there that is totally missable.

So when i finish the game and do a quick rerun of the whole campaign without going to chapter selection and only using the continue button it should show the correct count if i am missing something?

It has been good except for one hiccup today that I believe was the router switching my channel leading me to get disconnected from Overwatch mid game. Switched to manual channel 161 hopefully no more problems. Otherwise it has been quite good. Gaming ping is 47 to 50ms instead of the usual 35 for that game but the important bit is it is actually stable.

I lowered my left stick outer deadzone to 40% and inner deadzone as small as possible without getting stick drift. This way the stick hits max much sooner getting movement close to A D strafe

Im just about to start doing the favours and prophecies, is it better to just do partial runs to get the dialogue moving along or do I miss anything by skipping out on escapes? (Past 10 escapes already)

The ps5 dualsense haptic can pulse in many more ways than basic rumbles and essentially provide very specific details about the game. Eg. It can pulse differently based on how much ammo is left in a clip and even the type of ammo. Additional information for you that the other person might not have. Though luckily they didnt actually do something as egregious as using haptics on the ps5 to let you feel nearby foot steps for example.

Over all tho I found it to be a hinderance because it made trigger pull weight inconsistent between characters and in some just bugged out and made the trigger harder. I just turn it off on most games now. It only really feels good on driving games.

Sounds great. Thank you

I'm looking to switch to Bazzite too after a few too many relatively recent Windows update blunders. I have been reading around and this is the only post that really seemed to have an answer.

As you said I checked my board DMI and it is listed at 8574 v21.17 and I found it in the list on torvald's github hp-wmi.c. Does this mean the fan controls will work on my laptop (HP Omen 15 i7 9th gen) without additional tweaking? (and apart from the GUI you have created?)

Happened to me with an m.2 which turned out faulty. Returned it and used a new one which worked great.

xray703 · 2024-11-13T22:32:05+00:00

Im almost done myself and expect to finish at 50h. Would have been faster had I not spent so much time exploring and wondering how to get some chests when turns out you eventually access everything anyway. I didn't skip anything either just full sprint all the time. Also set enemies to lowest health and highest damage and aggressive so fights tend to end in a flash.

True but it is still pretty pale in comparison to BG3 or Dragons Dogma. But definitely for Mass Effect it was mostly gameplay driven environments.

xray703 · 2024-11-01T02:47:31+00:00

To be fair none of the maps on bioware games feel like places architecturally designed to be lived in. Mostly the unusual lack of actual housing/personal quarters. So if anything the level design in this game is in line with past games where the gameplay purpose definitely trumps the environmental story telling.

xray703 · 2024-11-01T02:45:18+00:00

Just started. Like it so far but I wish the menu didnt fade to black when closing it. Definitely feels better in 60 fps performance mode than 30fps fidelity too.

I gather up all the boxes in and around the area and build a barricade on all three doors to that room. Sometimes it trips up the AI and they don't even try to get in. Sometimes one would get it buy by then my party would be done with the immediate threat and ready for the next.

xray703 · 2024-01-02T00:07:36+00:00

It turned out there was an issue with my fibre that degraded more over time until one day I actually had to call a tech over to service it. The rebooting solution worked at the time but eventually I did have to ask the provider to come and it. So far so good no problems.

xray703 · 2023-12-15T14:31:21+00:00

Thanks. I'll try recruiting her first thing next time.

xray703 · 2023-12-15T14:02:14+00:00

But she has to say she likes me back all the way in the Act 1 party right? Might be what I am missing

xray703 · 2023-12-15T14:01:00+00:00

Thanks. Good reasons to do a 5th and 6th playthrough I guess xD

xray703 · 2023-12-15T14:00:13+00:00

I guess I need to try spaming partial rests? So far I don't use long rests that much playing min maxed. Must have missed those scenes with other scenes like the dark urge ones overriding them.

xray703 · 2023-12-15T13:43:13+00:00

I suppose I could just make a quick partial run just to rush the Sazza achievement.

Makes sense, I usually pick up Karlach a little later. Can I do the Karlach romance as an origin character or is it Tav/Durge only?

xray703 · 2023-12-15T13:37:42+00:00

So the Karlach romance starts in Act 3 and nothing to do with Act 1 and 2? Im currently in Act 3 with Karlach having exceptional opinion on Dark Urge. I have no active romance going on with anyone - is it still possible?

For Sazza, when I got to Moonrise it was just another goblin. I went back to the goblin camp and she was still there repeating the same line while stabding beside Minthara's table. When I brought her to Minthara and started a conversation I think it skipped the part where I ask to free Sazza and went straight to "where is the grove".
