steady cargo
Cause well that was the main reason i was waiting for Overwatch 2
Any new héro soon ?
I heard about a dude using à drill for season 10
peak escarp
we just got Mauga, so the next hero (a Canadian nonbinary Damage hero named Venture) won't come until season 10
peak escarp
we also have 3 Japanese and 3 Australians and 4 Americans
twilit patrol
Why would we need more French characters
steady cargo
Yeah but nobody like americans and everyone love japaneses
And australians are funny
steady cargo
Why would we need more French characters
Because best country
Best healthcare system of the entire world
Mercy should have been french
twilit patrol
Are u french?
peak escarp
yeah but you're French
peak escarp
Canada has good healthcare without being French
twilit patrol
Because I can see you’re not familiar with english
steady cargo
Canada has good healthcare without being French
Yes because they took that from us
twilit patrol
Personnally I want a Luxembourgish character
peak escarp
technically we took it from Britain
steady cargo
Because I can see you’re not familiar with english
Hey i'm learning on my own
peak escarp
you're doing pretty good
twilit patrol
Yes don’t worry
steady cargo
technically we took it from Britain
And from who they took that idea ? Ah yes...France
twilit patrol
I’m curious to see how Luxembourg is in OW
twilit patrol
Baptiste is...Well he have a french name
He has* 😉
twilit patrol
Never been there
I was born in Luxembourg and I like this country
Even if it’s small
peak escarp
Baptiste is from Haiti, which is a former French colony
steady cargo
I have been...In Irland, England, Maroc, Belgique, Espagne...
peak escarp
so he speaks English, French and Haitian Creole
steady cargo
Baptiste is from Haiti, which is a former French colony
Ah yes that's true
peak escarp
if Pharah went to school in Canada, she would know basic French too
Sojourn would too
steady cargo
Yes but sadly she didn't
twilit patrol
I don’t like the fact that everyone in OW is speaking english like their natives languages
peak escarp
we don't know where she went to school
steady cargo
Sojourn should be abble to speak french actually
steady cargo
That’s something I don’t understand
Well if everyone was speaking their native language in game it would be cacophonia
twilit patrol
But basically, Korean people doesn’t speak english and D.va is speaking english perfectly?
peak escarp
don't Koreans take English in high school?
steady cargo
Imagine if 12 person speaking different language were in the same room
twilit patrol
don't Koreans take English in high school?
They aren’t familiar with English
steady cargo
It would be impossible to deal with
twilit patrol
I don’t know if they study English in their country
peak escarp
I know high school students in Japan take English
twilit patrol
But it’s like french people, we learn english but we arent familiar with it.
steady cargo
I don’t know if they study English in their country
Why should they ?
steady cargo
But it’s like french people, we learn english but we arent familiar with it.
Yep !
twilit patrol
Why should they ?
Maybe because English is crucial idk
steady cargo
I can assure nobody gave à crap about english classes
peak escarp
English is valuable as an international language
steady cargo
Maybe because English is crucial idk
They are far from any english country
peak escarp
so it's taught in many non-English countries
twilit patrol
So I want to understand how every character in OW speaks english very well like that
twilit patrol
They are far from any english country
English is a language you hear anywhere
peak escarp
every hero has a plausible reason to speak English
steady cargo
Should i tell him ?
twilit patrol
Go on
twilit patrol
Well
I’m not going to learn arabic, I’m already focus on English.
But it’s not the topic
steady cargo
Yes ! Sorry
twilit patrol
We’ve talked about the fact that what country we want to see
peak escarp
I'm hoping that Venture is Inuk, so we get some diversity in Canadian representation
steady cargo
So hum...Is D.Va legal ? Cause everytime i go on a reddit or discord linked to overwatch, i saw fanart of her but...It's scares that maybe people are drooling over a minor
twilit patrol
She isn’t minor
steady cargo
(Brutal change of subject i know)
twilit patrol
There’s no a single minor character except the animals
steady cargo
She isn’t minor
Ok so it's less scary
peak escarp
she was 19 in OW1
twilit patrol
Hammond is 16 I think
steady cargo
Well i don't know she look like she's 15
twilit patrol
But he’s not human so
steady cargo
Hammond is 16 I think
Still not legal yet (just kidding)
twilit patrol
The younger character is Illari (she’s 18)
peak escarp
the youngest heroes are
- Orisa (1)
- Echo (14)
- Hammond (16)
- Illari (18)
- Kiriko (21)
twilit patrol
Yeah I meant Illari is the younger human
steady cargo
Moira mentionned to Echo that the doctor was working on a far more important subject that her so called "work of her life"
twilit patrol
I suppose this is a voice line in game?
peak escarp
Moira is referring to Aurora
steady cargo
Yeah I meant Illari is the younger human
I can't wait for a non human character like...A mutant created in a laboratory, that would be fun
You know a failed experiment of Moira
steady cargo
Moira is referring to Aurora
Renember when Echo was strong ?
steady cargo
I mean
It can exist in the Overwatch universe, there are genetically modified animals, very advanced technology, a guy who controls gravity, guys who control mythical spirits
I think a Frankestein abomination like a homunculus could be cool
And can fit
.
What do you think ?
peak escarp
I don't think it would fit
and Reaper already fills the spot as "Moira's (failed) experiment"

what’s the world population count in ow2’s present day?
and how much of it has been wiped out by both omnic crises and whatever talon does?
acoustic ice
i’m thinking the omnic crisis killed off maybe 3 billion?
mellow stratus
i’m thinking the omnic crisis killed off maybe 3 billion?
Apparently the crisis killed off 1 billion within 2 years
twilit patrol
That's a lot
muted kite
The global scale of the crisis makes me wonder what made it go on for 2 years. How did it settle into a war of attrition when the omnics had the reach to hit major population centers and supply lines?
You could destroy all the highways and major infrastructure and a lot of cities would just implode

question is all of australia destroyed or is that just the outback when the omnium exploded

Only the outback. Australia's urban centers are all still around, it's one reason why Junkertown and the wastes are a sparsely-populated no-man's-land, most Australians haven't been directly affected by it all that much.

He has tons of inspiratiobs tho
He even seems to take very loose inspuration from Moses, yknow the whole taking his peolle to the promised land, herder staff, even his cloak
You can have multiple inspirations, orisa follows a centaur and african tribal warriors for example
worthy rose
Yeah but I'm saying that he is very heavily inspired and Is Cleary being used as an alogory for black revolutionaries that's the only point I'm trying to make about his character the fact that he has dreadlocks isn't the crux of my argument how he's treated in the story is
keen summit
Well ngl
Revolutionaries are very common
Again even his story influence has tons of possible inspiration points
worthy rose
The whole reason he's a revolutionary is because his people (a race that was previously inslaved and treated as less then human by their oppressors) are as a result of said oppression dying in the street by the droves (because the race that where oppressing them still don't see them as equal for the most part) and to slove this problem he is fighting back with violence as opposed to other members of his people who believe in non-violence because they aren't getting shit done fast enough he's clearly ment to be a black revolutionary you'd have to be stupid to not see what's going on here
keen summit
Again yes but this story has veen done more and even ALL THAT could also be based on Moses funnily enough. Even how he does it with the pharaohs curse, ties to egypt and ramattra saying theyre treated as slaves. Im just saying that there can be multiple inspirations
worthy rose
Oh ok that's fair
keen summit
I personally think for inspiratiom he simply is based on a ton of revolutionaries
light pawn
i swear on everyones lives in this server im not lying
excuse me guys, may someone give me nitro ? (its for my girl please dont let me down im tryna impress her)
keen summit
Thats why he has multiple inspurations, a cloak amd a staff, Moses is known for that, dreadlocks, something seen in more black culture, robot, thats very obvious cuz we zeen tons of those
worthy rose
Ok but like the omnincs are a previously inslaved race that are being killed and treated differently because of their previous inslavement this is exactly how black people are treated in modern day America sure he has other inspirations but he takes the most from black ones
keen summit
I know. But let me say this, if theyd be vocal bout the inspirations theyd get backlash no matter what
worthy rose
Ture
cosmic sentinel
true
keen summit
imagine saying the MAIN VILLAIN is based either on a balck revolutionary or an important part of the bible. both would get backlash especially in the states
keen summit
i will say mei actually has use to overwatch for tracking rama down
his base is probs in antartica from the description and climate anomalies that have been happening
muted kite
Seems like an inconvenient location even for a machine. It’s so cold there that a lot of machine parts need constant maintenance to keep them functional
Not to mention the lack of access to any ore or fuel deposits, all raw materials would need to be shipped in.
keen summit
Seems like an inconvenient location even for a machine. It’s so cold there that ...
thats exactly why its there tho.
we know its VERY VERY COLD
muted kite
The Taiga or Arctic tundra would make more sense, it’s not nearly as brutally cold and it’s not completely isolated from anything useful
keen summit
The thing is that exactly round that time anomalies happened in antartica
muted kite
Hmm. Maybe Blizzard didn’t do research
keen summit
Well it did create if im c9rrect huge amounts of pollution and heat so its probs that they heat it all
muted kite
Yeah, but if it’s been sitting abandoned for years since the crisis, the cold should have damaged a lot of important parts. And you’d need to ship in both metal and fuel to build anything
And cargo ships aren’t exactly inconspicuous
keen summit
And cargo ships aren’t exactly inconspicuous
And look what we have in antartica

dim flicker
Jq isn't that good of a character but I like her background
keen summit
Jq isn't that good of a character but I like her background
she has the thing dva and arguably mei also have, their characters just change
dva in cinematic is a hardworking young woman who cares alot about others and feels alot of responsibility, shes even a bit of a mechanic working on her own mech at the end. in the comics shes much the same, she has a sense of duty.
dva in game: EEEEEEEEEEEEEW cringggeeeeeeee, NERF THIS! etc
i also never count bought voicelines to good or bad writing
dim flicker
I don't take a lot of the gameplay into account for writing cause things change but I gotta agree
Least they can't ever screw up my fave character bastion tho
Literally just beeps and boops for voice lines
keen summit
gameplay is part of it. but imho one of the best things is when they make their gameplay fit their personality
dim flicker
Yea, that's one of the reasons junkrat has always been a favorite for people aside from bombs
keen summit
mauga in the kit concept fits his can get carried away, massacres people but thinks ahead style. ramattra fits his calm demeanor hiding immense rage that he lets out, jq fits that shes just overwhelm your opponents etc

funnily enough what anubis used to do
keen summit
keen summit
Wasn't phara guarding it or smth?
ill give u a quick rundown. anubis is an god program, there were 4 big ones in different parts of the world for different purposes. anubis was in egypt and was the god program of ecology. it deemed humanity and the future of earth not being able to coexist so decided to wipe out humanity. thats how the omnic crisis started
dim flicker
Jeez I've missed a lot of lore apparently
keen summit
if you want basic rundown watch overwatch genesis
genesis was a big bomb
declassified too but also just reshelled alot of stuff
declassified is btw an in universe history book, so it for example purposfully got some stuff wrong like for example soldier 76 and reaper being dead
dim flicker
Right
Give me a day or so of research and learning up on this stuff and we can have a legit combo instead of me picking your brain
keen summit
for now if u want to learn about the crisis watch overwatch genesis
dim flicker
Got it I'll go ahead and do that
keen summit
declassified is best used to bolster your already existing knowledge imho
cuz it basically gives you a lens to what the world knows aswell
as the earlier example with reaper and soldier 76 for example
you never hear bout for example sombra or widow, only bout the most well known talon member who is doom
dim flicker
That would make sense if they're operating like black watch used to
dim flicker
Operating in secret for the most part
keen summit
yeah
as most evil orgs do
vishkar is something i wanna know more of
like sanjay aswell
dim flicker
I know very little about vishkar and nothing about sanjay
But yea give me a day or 2 and we can have a real talk bout the lore
keen summit
I know very little about vishkar and nothing about sanjay
welllll vishkar is just construction company with alterior motives. if its money power of geniunely wantign to create a perfect world is unknown
dim flicker
welllll vishkar is just construction company with alterior motives. if its money...
I'm betting on power and money
keen summit
sanjay is part of talon council, my theory is that he actually believes in a perfect world too but much like doom and moira believes it wont come without cost
keen summit
I'm betting on power and money
thing is wanting perfection has been shown with lw etc to be as bad
we already have money in the council too
so honestly im kinda leaning towards perfection for atleast sanjay

but I would also argue she isn't loyal to Talon, and is just using them for her own goals
golden oak
Max kinda when he gave up dooms location when he was threatened
vast thicket
if u think about it, blackmail is better than killing
golden oak
Why did they want to kill her btw
peak escarp
because she wasn't cooperating with Talon
jolly vapor
anyone here wanna do legendary missions xD
golden oak
Tbh if there was a similar situation where mauga had a different goal than talon he’d most likely betray them too
peak escarp
Reaper and Widow and Moira are all just using Talon for their resources
golden oak
Moira’s goal align with Akande’s so
But she does seem independent
azure bluff
I would say Widow and to an extent Reaper are being used, more than them using Talon
And of course Sigma is 100% being used, almost no question about it
golden oak
Reaper just wants revenge on overwatch I guess
twilit patrol
I think he wants to kill Jack
ionic jewel
he wants to kill everyone

He was hunting Ana too

2 of my favorite tanks

But I doubt we’ll see them in PvE

I feel like we’ll only focus on the new Overwatch agents
twilit patrol
The PvE is focus on the main story

Because Zen has been taken away and is probably being shown doom fist only fans

Please don’t let sym have any love in Overwatch PVE
twilit patrol
What?
ionic jewel
It’s not his goal
it absolutely is his goal
twilit patrol
No I think not
It’s Ramattra
No it’s about Reaper
But you’re right anyway
Ram doesn’t want to kill all humans
Same for Reaper
Me either but I know that he doesn’t want to kill everyone

Long before time had a name
There was a young 2016 me I was happy then that monster
Rain hellfire upon all my games

I'm watching all of the cinematics and the lore is so goodaughh
Too bad the game gives me aids 💔

arent the next set of missions about talon?

Probably not
peak escarp
all we know is Talon is targetting Zenyatta for unknown reasons
golden oak
I mean talon will be present but i dont think it will be from talon’s perspective
There is also that midtown mission coming
past copper
It might be a Talon mission first in India, than back to Null Sector
Possibly in New York
What the third mission might be is unclear
It all really depends on what Talon is doing under Null Sector’s invasion
keen summit
arent the next set of missions about talon?
Well its vs talonz we saw a scene at a blizzcon of widow grappeling away in suravasa with special animations
I really dont know why zen got targeted tho, mondatta made sense cuz rama saw him as an obstacle but zen?
Zen isnt important enough to the greater world and rama actually cares bout him

The thing is, it sounds like that they didn't have a lot. What we saw in the previews were very much just proof of concepts, the actual systems behind them had yet to been created
at least as of the halloween mode, we know they have the tech in the engine to support ability/weapon upgrades
Be cool if they'd just give us access to all of this via the workshop
keen summit
workshop in general could use updates
like for example allowoing us to change ROF, falloff, switch abilities etc. tons could be done to give us more freedom and ease of use

shes Very young and has to Carry a Large responsibility of Protecting the entire country of Korea

it's quiet here until people have something to talk about
dusty snow
its also cuz u spouted the statement that no one has depth
it was a joke, and i know that obviously some have depth because its a story that needs characters. what i was saying is that most dont have much, and thats not very hard to dispute. for example, what is tracers personality? torb? winston? theyre like elsa from frozen; there IS a personality, but its not very deep or well-defined

ill never cope with the fact that Tracers Age is Relative

It’s a hypothetical
If it WERE to happen
Not saying it should nor it will
Just who would make the most sense?
past copper
It’s doubtful Overwatch will kill off a playable hero
It just wouldn’t make sense as they don’t make playable heroes if the character is dead
So if they did kill somebody in Story, they’d either be contradicting this or they’d have to remove the hero from roster
Neither of which is a good move
vapid tusk
the only scenario in which it would probably happen is if the VA dies which is not something to be excited about
opaque tundra
I don’t see them killing a character bc of the VA
They’d probably just get replaced unfortunately
