Huh?

Huh?
Wdym huh
I literally just described a mission plot
Blizzard take my idea please
peak escarp
I hope they do a reunion mission with echo and Cassidy just trying to get someth...
and who else?
peak escarp
missions are 4-player
peak escarp
what Zenyatta one?
peak escarp
that still had other players
tough charm
Thatās not the one
peak escarp
it's on the same map
tough charm
Thereās a part where zen is leaving and you see widow zip away
peak escarp
with Zenyatta
tough charm
Itās like 5 seconds
peak escarp
I doubt it
tough charm
Itād be lame if the missions were all 4
tough charm
OW is a multiplayer game
Itās still MP if itās 2 lol
They could do both single and coop
past copper
The reason they have 4 is to have a team
Usually 1 tank, 2 dps, 1 support
Bc the enemy is going to have units that require a team of 4 to fight
2 players wouldn't be able to do a single thing alone
past copper
True, but Overwatch have the option now for a tank every mission
Winston, Reinhardt, Zarya, and D.Va
tough charm
2 players wouldn't be able to do a single thing alone
They could just do regen
past copper
Not if those heroes aren't supports
tough charm
I mean they could probably just do it
past copper
No. They can't
tough charm
Why not
past copper
Each role got their ability
Tank got knock back resistance, dps are faster, and all supports regain health
tough charm
That would make the missions lame
Theyād all be the same then
Tank 2 DPS support
On repeat. They should at least have some creativity with it
Imagine a junkertown mission with the 3 tanks and junkrat
peak escarp
do you know how many combinations of 1 tank 2 damage 1 support you can make with the heroes we have?
tough charm
do you know how many combinations of 1 tank 2 damage 1 support you can make with...
Yes but you also have to remember not everyone is on Overwatch or same sides
peak escarp
okay
past copper
That would make the missions lame
Then don't play if you got a problem with the plan for their roles
peak escarp
but even just counting the heroes that are in Overwatch
tough charm
Then don't play if you got a problem with the plan for their roles
Thatās not what I said?
peak escarp
that's over 100 combinations
tough charm
that's over 100 combinations
Thatās if theyāre not locked to the 4 same heroes
peak escarp
why would they be?
past copper
The heroes will change each mission
past copper
Literally you see Rein, Tracer, Mei, and Lucio is the first team
peak escarp
you might even be able to choose from more than 4 heroes to make your roster of 4
past copper
Clearly you see Winston, Pharah, Genji, and Zen is the next
peak escarp
for the Rio mission, Winston, Reinhardt, Mei, Genji, Mercy, Brigitte, Tracer and Lucio are all valid choices
past copper
You probably won't play as every hero on the same mission, but idk
tough charm
I have no problem with them having specific heroes per mission. The problem I have is if they just make them all the same team style of tank 2dps support
At least have some creativity
past copper
They already seem to establish teams in the cut scenes
tough charm
Make it important to the lore and fun instead of being oh āroadhog junkrat for junkertown mission is good but letās do tracer and baptiste also cuz we canāt do something creative even though we have 2 other junkertown characters but theyāre tanks so noā
There you make each mission have variety
past copper
Not every hero will be in the story
tough charm
Granted we did get 3 DPS and 1 support in the black watch mission
peak escarp
missions don't have to be 1 tank 2 damage 1 support
they just have to have 1 support
past copper
You and others will have to work with what Overwatch has
tough charm
You and others will have to work with what Overwatch has
I know but the variety wonāt be there
past copper
Idk what to tell you. All I know is, expect to see a tank for a majority of the missions
And at least 1 support for most if not all
Tanks: Winston, Rein, Zarya, D.Va
Supports: Mercy, Brig, Lucio, Baptiste, Zen
Dps: Tracer, Mei, Genji, Echo, Cassidy, Pharah, Sojourn, and Bastion
Those are the choices, but only bc we don't know if other heroes will be involved
peak escarp
it's probably her high school uniform
rare trail
the mech doesnāt make much sense though
peak escarp
the mech design is based off the game she was a world champion at - Mecha Guardian V
molten shore
it's probably her high school uniform
Im assuming the other school one isnt

keen summit
Idk what to tell you. All I know is, expect to see a tank for a majority of the ...
there is also possibility for talon missions, notice how they really wanted a talon tank with sigma release? so for talon its
tank: sigma, doom (maybe mauga)
dps: reaper sombra widow
support: moira
rama is kinda like.. he wouldnt go on missions with talon, sigma might when hes losing himself. ofcourse if mauga gets added he'd be perfect
limpid agate
I dont think the desire for a Talon tank was related to PvE
It was just because they wanted a tank for the second most important faction in the franchise
keen summit
I dont think the desire for a Talon tank was related to PvE
could be, but as theyve been planning it for years before even reveal it wouldnt surprise me
limpid agate
Theyve also not cared about roles in prior PvE
See: Retribution
Where Reaper/Genji functioned as tanks
Depending on the enemy
keen summit
fair fair
i do think its less likely now for talon missions
at first it was likely cuz after null sector what do you do? probs do hero missions till new expansion which couldve been fight against talon, or talon side etc
now cuz its released season by season... they can stretch it for very long
past copper
Talon is going to be in the story missions
That's who you fight as you make your way through the temple Zen is staying at
Overwatch is basically fighting two fronts at once against Null Sector and Talon
Beyond that mission, Talon doesn't appear to play a big role yet
keen summit
it seems logical that after the thing is resolved and hopefully there is an solution to the problems with omnic rama could give info cuz his goal is accomplished

But a real version of what Talantis was supposed to be
Non-canon underwater talon base

talon is like a group that forms and wants to start a big war and blackwatch is formed within overwatch to be anti talon and just a more shady hidden part of overwatch overwatch gets investigated because blackwatch killed someone and overwatcvh is shut down

Bard: Lucio? Junker Queen?
Cleric: Mercy

Fighter: Genji, Doom, Torb
Monk: Zen
Paladin: Brig
Ranger: Hanzo, Widow, Sojourn
Rogue: Sombra or Kiriko
Sorcerer: Sym?
Warlock: Ram or Moira
Wizard: Sigma?
Not the best guesses, but hey
Also got to take into account what races they'd use from d&d
Like elves, dwarves, orcs, etc
Personally, I can Junk and Hog as orcs
past copper
I see Queen as more barbarin bc of her use with an axe
But also a bard bc of her love of guitar and rock

On a scale of 1-10 how gay is the midtown lore now
quiet rune
What's the bap pharah thing
They r both LGBTQIA+
worthy rose
The short story is boring 
peak escarp
I liked it
worthy rose
On a scale of 1-10 how gay is the midtown lore now
7, a bunch of flags and confetti. But no pride parade payload :[
peak escarp
that would have been a nice touch
fun fact: 5 heroes have been confirmed LGBTQ+. 0 heroes have been confirmed straight.
several are probably straight based on past relationships, but the devs haven't said "they're straight" yet
worthy rose
lol theres a lack of confirmed straight people but a thriving amount of lgbtqia+ people
I presume Gabe is straight though
But I do joke with my friend that Gabe left his wife and kid(s) because of Jack
fossil chasm
several are probably straight based on past relationships, but the devs haven't ...
thatās because itās not something you go out and say. it objectively is the default, culturally if nothing else
peak escarp
and that's why we need Pride
worthy rose
Mhm
ivory garnet
Reyes, Torbjorn, Reinhardt, Hanzo, and maybe Cassidy are the only straight I can assume (i dont like doing head canons)
and Genji^
peak escarp
I think they should add pronouns to the heroes's bios (even though none of them have nonstandard pronouns)
peak escarp
yeah
ivory garnet
would be interesting if they eventually gave him like a voice module or something
peak escarp
eh
peak escarp
it would be like taking away Tracer's accent
ivory garnet
yeah nevermind
upbeat violet
āThere was something about the way she said her nameānot Dr. Ziegler, but Angelaāthat touched him. ā
thatās one way to feed the pharmercy shippers
peak escarp
there's clearly something between them
but in Valkyrie, Pharah wasn't mentioned at all
so things being one-sided is fairly likely
quiet rune
7, a bunch of flags and confetti. But no pride parade payload :[
Well I mean the payload is 1st responders so yk. But they did remove the police cars

Why are first responders responding to seemingly nothing tho

This is right, but it shouldnāt be

Except the omnics tho right?
quiet rune
thatās one way to feed the pharmercy shippers
Omnomnom
upbeat violet
there's clearly *something* between them
itād be great if they confirmed it in some sort of way
quiet rune
Like theres nothing to respond to at the end of midtown
Tru lol
upbeat violet
that way the people can canonically put herpharah and hermercy
peak escarp
ew
quiet rune
they have pronouns too
Well obvi, but I thought nonstandard didnāt include they/them/their
But I may just be dumb
peak escarp
none of the heroes use they/them
worthy rose
that way the people can canonically put herpharah and hermercy
I'm going to sound dumb but who is 'her' in this?
peak escarp
Orisa and Echo use she/her, Zenyatta and Ramattra use he/him, Bastion uses it/he/him
rare trail
I'm going to sound dumb but who is 'her' in this?
i think the her would be mercy for pharah and pharah for mercy
so like hermercy would be pharah's mercy
ivory garnet
Why are first responders responding to seemingly nothing tho
bank robbery, Cops and FD are both obligated to respond to high stake felonies
worthy rose
What felony was there š
ivory garnet
A bank robbery?
ivory garnet
theres a bank in the train station if im not mistaken
peak escarp
there's an emergency on one of the platforms
upbeat violet
I'm going to sound dumb but who is 'her' in this?
hermercy - pharah to mercy / herpharah - mercy to pharah
worthy rose
ah
peak escarp
you can hear it in the track announcements
that's why a fire truck is going to the subway
quiet rune
I'm going to sound dumb but who is 'her' in this?
That was my Q
worthy rose
lol
quiet rune
so like hermercy would be pharah's mercy
Oh ew
worthy rose
But for the pride event they could have changed the announcements for the train station
It'd be really cool for a pride parade payload
upbeat violet
ew
ššwhy ew. I think itās cute if they donāt make the game worse for their team (ex. Mercy pocketing Pharah and ignoring the rest of the team)
peak escarp
e-couples are cringe
worthy rose
just have normal names
upbeat violet
i mean e dating id say is flawed
worthy rose
The most I ask of E-daters is to not have matching names
upbeat violet
but if theyāre an irl couple
worthy rose
And yes I will go after anybody thats like "HerMercy" and "HerPharah"
upbeat violet
that sounds like a bad tactic
worthy rose
I will literally turn into Sym with a sniper
quiet rune
ššwhy ew. I think itās cute if they donāt make the game worse for their team (...
IG but itās too cutesy for me
ivory garnet
its annoying in my opinion, but they make it their whole personality
upbeat violet
it depends
worthy rose
yeah
upbeat violet
as I said I think itās fine if they donāt disrupt the game
quiet rune
idk man šš i personally think itās cute
I think itās cute unless they take it too far
quiet rune
Also this is way off topic
worthy rose
If they are pocketing each other then they're disrupting my day and will be exterminated
upbeat violet
yeah it is we should take this somewhere else
fossil chasm
This is right, but it shouldnāt be
eh, Iām alright not having a coming out party for everyone ever
quiet rune
yes, but point stands
Agreed
quiet rune
eh, Iām alright not having a coming out party for everyone ever
How does that relate?
worthy rose
Yeah-
Like I'm gay but I don't celebrate it like "Yippee! Lets party my fellow Queens and Kings! 
"
No gay actually throws coming out parties unless they're making gay a personality
fossil chasm
How does that relate?
if thereās no standard orientation, then each character has to have it spelled out on an individual basis

ironically making it more of a discussion topic than it is at the moment with the straight until proven otherwise
Standards and deviations are convenient

I mean straight people have their straight heroes
peak escarp
eh, Iām alright not having a coming out party for everyone ever
we should take it the other way - have a "coming out" announcement for every orientation, including straight
normalize coming out
worthy rose
Yes
ivory garnet
^^
worthy rose
But never a party
peak escarp
nah partys are dumb
worthy rose
The closest coming out party I'll have is a picnic in my backyard with like three friends
ivory garnet
coming out is a show of strength, nothing to throw a party for

Speaking of, I am actually going to do that on sat, just not a coming out party

hopefully lore codex will shed some light on this for us

anywayyyssssss, how is this apart of lore? I didnt go far up in this convo
worthy rose
here's my party: I'm queer š„³
peak escarp
yeah we're getting off topic
peak escarp
hmm.... Brigitte has voice lines hinting that she's got a crush on someone
upbeat violet
who?
peak escarp
what if that someone is Pharah
worthy rose
its like me asking what kind of coffee I should make in #overwatch-serious after having a long conversation about something
ivory garnet
*what if that someone is Pharah*
i would like that, it would also surprise alot of people
peak escarp
they have a lot in common
ivory garnet
both are knights in shining armor
upbeat violet
*what if that someone is Pharah*
the age difference seems a bit odd to me but theyāre both adults
peak escarp
they're both buff, both Legacies
upbeat violet
they would go great together though
worthy rose
*what if that someone is Pharah*
I mean(Using in game voicelines) it'd make sense, she wants to spend more time with pharah because of another project she's doing, but that may be stretching it
ivory garnet
even if they werent to be anything, definitely be best friends
peak escarp
eh, the age difference isn't an issue
worthy rose
And I mean isn't Mercy hinted at being with genji?
upbeat violet
iād love a team with Orisa, Zarya, Brig and Pharah
peak escarp
And I mean isn't Mercy hinted at being with genji?
yes

if we arenāt hypothesizing sexualities of fictional characters based on questionably interpreted in game dialogue, are we even lore discussing hard enough
worthy rose
Well the voicelines are hypotheticals...but I am still waiting for Lifeweaver comic where he asks bap out ā
ivory garnet
if we arenāt hypothesizing sexualities of fictional characters based on question...
voicelines are mostly hypothetical, but some imply canon
fossil chasm
for the record, i literally do not care. but this is like tf2 fans reading into every word from valve and thinking an update is coming
ivory garnet
like when Soldier boasts about Ana hitting a far shot
worthy rose
for the record, i literally do not care. but this is like tf2 fans reading into ...
Okay but didn't they get a update?
peak escarp
I heard they got a new hat
worthy rose
lmfao
ivory garnet

hollow tinsel
What are y'all taking about
fossil chasm
right but like a real one. like a 2010ās era update
worthy rose
Them tf2 players don't take anything for granted
worthy rose
Us Overwatch players went through pain of being promised things that aren't being given
worthy rose
What are y'all taking about
I'm not sure anymore tbh
peak escarp
anyway
less than 2 months until our next animated short
we finally get to see best girl Murphy
upbeat violet
soj short?
worthy rose
Mhm
peak escarp
worthy rose
I hate Sojourn so just know I will be making fun of it as much as possible
worthy rose
Murphy is best character in overwatch
Cancel overwatch and just make a game about Murphy
upbeat violet
haha LoL style
worthy rose
They could prob make more content than they did with overwatch in like three years
peak escarp
Nintendogs style
upbeat violet
make a spin off platformer about Murphy
peak escarp
her
worthy rose
mb
warm lagoon
this games me bipolar
worthy rose
if they aren't going to give us the full pve they need to make a show
peak escarp
we are getting a full story mode though
peak escarp
the part that got cancelled had nothing to do with the story
worthy rose
not actual lore
Unrelated note, I swore I saw pve discussion as a channel like a week ago
what happened to that?
Too much anger in there? lmfao
peak escarp
it was archived
it was just to provide a space to vent that didn't clutter up other channels
worthy rose
Thats smart
peak escarp
I don't know if they'll bring it back when Story Missions start, or they'll just direct people to this channel for it
worthy rose
I cannot wait to play the same pve feeling we had with the old archives missions
worthy rose
I don't know if they'll bring it back when Story Missions start, or they'll just...
They'll prob make a new channel, I wouldn't want to see people upset over Blizzard's biggest failure
peak escarp
if people think THAT is Blizzard's biggest failure, they must be new
worthy rose
Well I automatically say blizzard
But I know it isn't
I just don't bother trying to remember the actual thing
Isn't it acti something?
peak escarp
the announcement of Diablo Immortal in 2018 is a better contender for biggest failure
peak escarp
Isn't it acti something?
Activision-Blizzard-King
fossil chasm
King? Like the candy crush company?
peak escarp
yes

How did doomfist get his gauntlet????
A question I've had at the back of my mind for awhile.
upbeat violet
i believe he got it after killing the doomfist before him
peak escarp
the current (third) Doomfist killed the second Doomfist, and it's implied that the second Doomfist killed the first Doomfist
shadow marsh
As far as I remember Talon saw Akande is the way better suitor of claiming the title of Doomfist because of his greater potential. Talon sent Akande to kill him.
peak escarp
Before long, Adeyemiās protĆ©gĆ© made a fateful choice for the good of Talon.
Akande killed his mentor on his own initiative
Talon supported him though
peak escarp
yes
hollow tinsel
Scary
peak escarp
Adhabu Ngumi was a war hero during the Omnic crisis
Akinjide Adeyemi was a Talon leader
Akande Ogundimu is the current Talon leader and driving force behind the alliance between Talon and Null Sector
peak escarp
yes

Thanks goose

Well he is a pig
rare trail
ig the one lifeweaver voiceline but yk
Voice lines are only semi canon sometimes and junkrat didnnt really understand
merry token
ig the one lifeweaver voiceline but yk
Probably assumed since theyāre just always together
peak escarp
the LW interaction does more to prove that they're NOT a couple
since Junkrat doesn't get what he's talking about
vapid tusk
did genji leave overwatch at any point
rare trail
not really
once he joined he stayed in
when overwatch shut down he āleftā but he answered the recall
vapid tusk
when overwatch initially shut down it was bc of blackwatch right
did BW disband when that happened
rare trail
blackwatch is what caused overwatch to be investigated
but overwatch wasnāt clean even without blackwatch
blackwatch did stop when overwatch did
stuck stump
did any of the heroes maintain contact during the time overwatch was shut down?
peak escarp
Mercy kept in contact with Genji, Torbjorn and Sojourn
keen summit
since Junkrat doesn't get what he's talking about
Junkrat just dont get romance, if he is anything he'd be aro
keen summit
Mercy kept in contact with Genji, Torbjorn and Sojourn
Torb and rein also kept in contact with eachother
ivory garnet
and tracer and winston
keen summit
Oh and reaper and moira technically
ivory garnet
they arent "heroes" in the lore
peak escarp
"heroes" meaning playable characters
keen summit
Well i think the person meant heroes as in characters
And they would be affected cuz they were part of overwatch (blackwatch, but its part of it)
wind portal
pharah and ana aswell (though one sided)
ana never really kept in contact with pharah so that can't really be considered maintaining contact
peak escarp
her origin story is a letter Ana sent to Pharah
pulsar crescent

they arent "heroes" in the lore
They were both part of OW tho

the ages used to be listed on the bios, but they were removed when the bios were rewritten for OW2

They were?

Baptiste has a secret app on his phone that gives him a direct line to Sombra
they are close friends

Is Sombra just friends with all the playable Talon/ex talon characters that arenāt part of the main council
