Overwatch 2 charges you for faster queue times with "Priority Passes"

*and paying money

it's free 2 play. only the single palyer portion costs butnot 60 lol

So we can make fun of it? Do you think the guys gathered around laughing at someone is doing it because they like that person?
We're a collective of absurdists my dude.

You goys WILL pay for it.

The idea of an FPS with "tanks" still baffles me. FPSs have always been about movement and/or tactics and/or aim allowing you to outplay your targets. Who wants to play a version of that but with "nuh-uh-uh, I'm behind my boyfriend's everything-proof shield!"

Throw in years of obligatory powercreep new characters and rebalancing in an incessant urge to break whatever meta has established itself (because every team is supposed to play the same way because if you try something different you're toxic and trolling but when that said way beats every other tactic/composition that's suddenly a bad thing I guess). You get this absolutely arcane RPS of characters being able to nullify a set number of other characters, whilst being nullified by a few themselves, where every individual dual that pops up during the course of the match (inherent to the genre despite OWs best attempts) in most FPSes is determined by who is better by the game, here it's determined largely by matchup. Then you end up with the fighting game tierlist problem where a good kit that doesn't have a lot of weaknesses begets having even fewer weaknesses as that character becomes top tier by virtue of having few bad matchups, and here you can throw on an extra teammate or two dedicated to specifically nullifying that counter and the whole team moves as a homogenised blob under someone gets a pick and then everyone dies. It's just so stale.

Imagine making a game where you have to goad your players into doing things they don't enjoy just so your gameplay design can function.

No, pay to not wait has been a thing in plenty of games.

That’s every hero game. You take genres founded on killing and standardized gameplay, segment all the fun into different characters and roles, and then force everyone to pick which part of the game they wanted to play.

>shitwatch getting 4 maps as a sequel

Yeah but this game costs $40

>can't figure out how to get players to play a class
>just cut it's ability to be used in half
>loses unique playstyle, now just generic run and gun
game sucks I wish they were still raping women so I could have good games.

Nigga so does plat

Yea Forums sure loves proving they dont play the games they bitch about or even doing surfacce level research

Nigga I'm literally playing the game rn

>Fill the unfun "sit on your ass and get shot at and if you slightly overextend you throw the game" role like a good bottom bitch so you can get your "play the fun-classes" tokens! They actually get to run around and don't take ten seconds to kill enemies! We just released a new one with this cool rifle and grapple hook, ohh she's so fun - but you gotta play "put up a barrier" guy for a while first!

Some games will have to incorporate an element of waiting into their design, whether you're straight up waiting for a timer to run down or you have to grind gameplay. "Pay to not wait" then emerges as a natural monetisation model with various levels of jewishness. Games built entirely around waiting for items and buildings to finish being created that you can pay to speed up are mobage shit. On the other hand, a live-service game built around grinding some PvE mode for upgrades and unlocks might have a de-facto free to play mode where it just takes far longer to unlock new weapons and characters than if you pay for some reasonably priced subscription. It all depends on a lot of factors as to whether or not something is a complete fucking scam such as pricing, rewards, gameplay, etc.

Paying/doing chores to get into the matches to actually play the game faster, in a full price multiplayer game, but only for a select number of classes that the devs obviously realise are the only ones people want to play, is a new low even for blizzard.

Everyone and their mothers want to play DPS so getting hour long queue times is common in OW1

It's not too bad when 'tank' is more like a battletank rather than the MMO style damage sink. Trading off speed, stealth and/or range for firepower and durability can be pretty fun.

No one cares about the truth user. We only believe what we want to believe. Fuck the truth.

Retard. You buy $40 of plat with the 75% discount and you can skip every grind in WF. Meanwhile in OW2 you buy $40 worth of game and ON TOP OF THAT you need $40 worth of microtransaction to skip grinds.

The "unique" playstyle killed the game

yeah well that's not how the tanks in OW work lol. TF2's heavy, who you're describing, would be a DPS in this game and is most akin to bastion (one of if not the highest DPS in the game, extra durability, and self healing meaning that if you're caught by surprise by him there's no way you'll live, but only a braindead zombie could actually be caught by surprise). The only difference is that at least TF2 is brave enough to allow their version to literally move at all.

The passes aren't something you can buy.

Then show me where you can pay for a priority pass. I'm waiting. Can your 8gb of ram run photoshop quickly enough for you to render a bad shoop of it?

>Retard, [then confirms literally what I was saying]
Thanks for that.

capitalism and jewry are interchangeable

I would say not updating the game for THREE YEARS might have been the reason. Even after Y1 the update schedule was a joke. The recycled almost everything from year to year.

>8gb

I have 32gb, retard. Ram is so cheap I'm thinking about getting 128gb just for the hell of it.

Not in the beta, you can when Overwatch 2 comes out.

Good deflection. Maybe get ram for your brain.

bro, plat is literally free if you do a couple relic runs

Good retarded post. You can't unlock skins in this beta, does that mean you can't unlock skins in Overwatch 2? No, of course not. You can purchase priority passes for real money when the game is out just like you can purchase loot boxes when the game comes out. I can't believe I share a board with retards like you.

>free if you work

lmao

>Folks, clearly OP is trying to bait some off-topic shit. He is not interested in talking about OverWatch 2.
This isnt off topic, charging money for better queue times is actually a pretty interesting topic to discuss. Im not even sure if it has been done before.

u were always free to pick as many tanks as u want retard, and if anything a rebalance patch isnt a new game.

The priority passes were in OW 1 and you didn't pay for them, the skins were in OW 1 and you didn't pay for them. You're making assumptions because you're a miserable bastard who wants to get angry over shit, regardless of it happening after the game comes out or not. You have nothing to win here, either you're right about your baseless assumptions and then you have a shit game but you get to brag about being right or it doesn't happen and you're still the same miserable person you've always been. Keep seething, being mad about fucking games of all things and insulting random people online, I'm sure your life is fantastic. Go read a book, workout. Hell, you have so much RAM, bench your PC. I'm out you sad, sad nigger.

thats not how you greentext, newfaggot

well you could either do real life work or play the game instead
its nice to have options, right?

idk, I and everyone I know who played the game quit long before they stopped updating, because with each update the game became worse

This bait again? Overwatch 1 has them too, and you earn them by playing the game.
You don't buy them with real money nor ingame currencies.
All fields, find a better hobby.

OW1 had the same priority pass system and there was no way to buy then for real money.

that UI is too fucking clean, I hate it

Fuck this game and company. I'm not paying for queue times.

Not really cause it isn't one, in regular OW you have those for the attack que, you get them by playing other roles and the game wont let you use them unless the waiting time is higher than the other roles.
It's dumb, but not greedy.

Remember Battlefield Premium?

>OW1 had the same priority pass system and there was no way to buy then for real money
Huh. I was baited then.

>Unique play styles
The current meta is double shield and build your ult until you can grav dragon. It's not fun or unique.

It's already in the first since years
No you can't buy it with real money
Stop with the fucking fake news giganiggers
There's ton to criticize with this game, yet you choose to lie

They need to just drop the mmo trinity nonsense and start with the assumption that everyone is meant to do damage first above all else, then re-balance from there.

But it's a feature from Overwatch 1. And you couldn't pay for it there.
Priority passes were just a way for Blizzard to control queue times by incentivizing people to hop onto less played roles and keep modes that otherwise would have been dead alive.

Fuck off back to twitter you dumb fuck.
