Baptiste needs to get an interaction with her so she can have a friend

#

Reaper seems proud of Widowmaker when he tells Doomfist that she was responsible for killing Mondatta

#

I wonder if Reaper picked Widowmaker and Sombra for his team, or if they were assigned to him

#

it would make sense if he picked Widowmaker at least, considering their history

#

I wonder if the other Talon leaders go on field missions or have teams like that

limpid agate Sep 15, 2019, 4:23 AM

#

Antonio, Vialli, Max, Sanjay? Not likely

#

Doomfist? Probably.

#

Max just brings an army with him, as seen in Storm Rising

#

Sanjay uses Vishkar agents like Symmetra, as seen in A Better World

peak escarp Sep 15, 2019, 4:30 AM

#

afaik Symmetra isnt aware that Sanjay works for Talon

#

so he must not use her for Talon missions

limpid agate Sep 15, 2019, 4:32 AM

#

Him and Symmetra were working on the Rio takeover

#

He deploys Symmetra to do the work for him

#

Hence: I don't think he would go into the field himself for a job

peak escarp Sep 15, 2019, 4:32 AM

#

that was a Vishkar mission though

limpid agate Sep 15, 2019, 4:32 AM

#

So.

#

He would have people under him in Talon to send on missions too

peak escarp Sep 15, 2019, 4:35 AM

#

I'm just pointing out that he doesn't use Symmetra for Talon missions - he probably has actual Talon agents for that

last inlet Sep 15, 2019, 4:43 AM

#

Makes me wonder if the things Sanjay does, like the Rio incident, are somewhat backed by Talon

#

Maybe he led Vishkar away from a hypothetical original goal, to start controlling cities like that

#

I don't know

final compass Sep 15, 2019, 4:01 PM

#

When did the null sector attack take place? Because in honour and glory Reinhardt looks young and then is suddenly old

#

In uprising

worthy rose Sep 15, 2019, 4:16 PM

#

Cause Null sector is a modern terrorist group; Reinhardt's battle with the omnics in his cinematic short was during the omnic crisis which Null sector wasn't around for

#

We don't have actual dates to concretely put things into perspective

#

but we have a rough general timeline

#

iirc Overwatch as of rn takes place in the 2070's with uprising happening 6 years prior

devout sable Sep 15, 2019, 4:23 PM

#

@final compass the Omnic Crisis (the conflict depicted in Honor and Glory) began and ended around 30 years ago

#

King's Row Uprising is unrelated to it, and happened 7 years ago

placid monolith Sep 15, 2019, 4:27 PM

#

How long has it been since Overwatch blew up?

limpid agate Sep 15, 2019, 4:27 PM

#

~ 5-6 years

devout sable Sep 15, 2019, 4:27 PM

#

5 years since it was disbanded, 6 years since HQ explosion

limpid agate Sep 15, 2019, 4:27 PM

#

iirc Overwatch as of rn takes place in the 2070's with uprising happening 6 years prior

We were explicitly told Uprising was 7 years ago

devout sable Sep 15, 2019, 4:28 PM

#

hold on, here's a timeline I put together

#

31* BR – omniums activate and launch a military assault against humanity, Omnic Crisis begins
29* BR – Overwatch Strike Team is assembled in secret
26* BR – omniums are pacified, Omnic Crisis ends, Overwatch becomes a public peacekeeping organization
23 BR – Operation: White Dome, Torbjorn loses his eye and arm, Brigitte is born
11* BR – Winston leaves the Horizon Lunar Colony and lands on Earth
9 BR – Mei and her team enter cryostasis
8 BR – Tracer's accident, the Venice incident, Blackwatch is revealed
7 BR – Amelie kidnapped, Gerard assassinated, the Cairo incident, King's Row Uprising
6 BR – Reinhardt forced to retire following an incident, Ana presumed dead, McCree leaves, Maximilien captured (Storm Rising), Doomfist captured, Overwatch HQ explosion, Morrison and Reyes presumed dead
5 BR – Petras Act is passed, Overwatch is disbanded
4 BR – Baptiste defects from Talon

#

BR is short for "before Recall"

#

and * are speculative

placid monolith Sep 15, 2019, 4:28 PM

#

Hmm.. That'd mean Reinhardt and Ana would both be alive in our current year.

devout sable Sep 15, 2019, 4:29 PM

#

how old are Morrison and Reyes?

placid monolith Sep 15, 2019, 4:29 PM

valid flame Sep 15, 2019, 7:47 PM

But he’s cool

peak escarp Sep 15, 2019, 7:47 PM

#

he's an enemy of Vishkar, which has ties to Lumerico and Talon (both through Sanjay)

#

several heroes aren't connected to Overwatch - D.Va, Roadhog, Junkrat, Zarya, Symmetra, Hanzo, Ashe

final compass Sep 15, 2019, 7:48 PM

#

Hanzo sort of is... through genji

peak escarp Sep 15, 2019, 7:48 PM

#

#

Ashe is connected through McCree

#

Zarya is connected to Talon by being an enemy of Sombra

final compass Sep 15, 2019, 7:50 PM

#

Indifference, probably.

devout sable Sep 15, 2019, 9:54 PM

#

@peak escarp already mentioned it earlier, but I think I'd draw a "it's complicated" line between Doomfist and Maximilien too

#

given that there's a certain, uh, dynamic going on there

#

especially if Doomfist is/ever becomes aware that Maximilien was the one to sell him out

peak escarp Sep 15, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

why? Max giving up Doomfist's location was just business, and Doomfist either doesn't know it was him or doesn't care (or does know and chooses not to do anything about it)

devout sable Sep 15, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

hmm

#

alright then

peak escarp Sep 15, 2019, 9:56 PM

#

if they show any overt tension between them then I'd consider it, but for now they're on good terms

devout sable Sep 15, 2019, 9:56 PM

#

not sure if I'd describe it that way

peak escarp Sep 15, 2019, 9:56 PM

well they're not on bad terms

Not confirmed

But heavily teased

#

About when did Moira get offered a place in Oasis?

peak escarp Sep 16, 2019, 3:51 AM

#

after she left Overwatch

#

so within the last 8 years

reef dagger Sep 16, 2019, 3:53 AM

#

Did she leave Overwatch when it was disbanded, or before then?

#

Resources tell me that she was invited to Oasis after Overwatch as a whole was disbanded, so I guess she might have still been a member after the Venice Incident?

#

What she did afterward until Overwatch disbanded, I don't know.

limpid agate Sep 16, 2019, 4:12 AM

#

We don't know when she left

#

Other then after Retribution and before present day

worthy rose Sep 16, 2019, 4:54 AM

#

Still very questionable about why Reaper brought her in unless he had some sort of condition

#

Cause Genji and McCree make some sense; combatants who were on the wrong side of the law who had done wrong and needed to be put on the straight and narrow

#

Moira was already around Reaper's age so why a geneticist of all things

peak escarp Sep 16, 2019, 5:08 AM

#

he brought her in because he was having genetics issues

#

probably related to his SEP conditioning

worthy rose Sep 16, 2019, 5:12 AM

#

Yea but if that were an issue we'd suspect jack to be the same way which leads me to believe there was something else wrong with him but I digress

#

Maybe a minor condition that reacted poorly to the SEP treatment.

peak escarp Sep 16, 2019, 5:21 AM

#

maybe they didnt react to it the same way due to their original genetics

#

Jack and Gabe have different genotypes

worthy rose Sep 16, 2019, 6:03 AM

#

Of course, but you'd think that having more than just a few soldiers would reveal any problems with fairly common genes.

manic parcel Sep 16, 2019, 6:06 AM

#

I thought Moira joined Reaper because she wouldn’t have her work stifled?

placid monolith Sep 16, 2019, 6:08 AM

#

~~Jack got the dominant genes while Gabe got all the recessive ones.~~ I think OW just had a focus on research and development and Moira could use a proper supervised lab.

peak escarp Sep 16, 2019, 6:09 AM

#

maybe other SEP Soldiers also had complications, and Jack is the weird one for not having any

#

a sample size of 2 isn't much to go on

placid monolith Sep 16, 2019, 6:10 AM

#

Could be.

manic parcel Sep 16, 2019, 6:11 AM

#

I’m so glad Mercy and Genji are heavily teased

peak escarp Sep 16, 2019, 6:13 AM

#

Overwatch were the ones who shut down Moira's research - Gabe went behind their backs to hire her into Blackwatch

manic parcel Sep 16, 2019, 6:14 AM

#

Who do we know that’s in Talon?

#

Doom, Moira, Reaper, Max, Widow, Sombra?

peak escarp Sep 16, 2019, 6:15 AM

manic parcel Sep 16, 2019, 6:18 AM

#

Who’s Sanjay?

#

peak escarp Sep 16, 2019, 6:18 AM

#

Sanjay is Symmetra's handler/boss in Vishkar

#

and yeah, Sigma isn't there by choice

#

Talon "rescued" him from the government facility that was keeping him and put him in a lab so he could continue his work

#

he's still a prisoner, just in a different place

pliant sparrow Sep 16, 2019, 10:26 AM

Why are the Ministry of Biology and the Ministry of Genetics different?

#

I can't really think of too many situations where genetics doesn't cross into biology

peak escarp Sep 16, 2019, 6:40 PM

#

Genetics is a specific field of Biology

reef dagger Sep 16, 2019, 6:41 PM

#

Precisely.

#

I just mean, you can do biology without dealing with genetics, but you can't do genetics without dealing with biology

peak escarp Sep 16, 2019, 6:43 PM

I don't see a Ministry of Biology listed

#

nvm found it

#

maybe they decided Genetics was a significant enough field to require its own ministry

urban sedge Sep 16, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

Probably same reason forensics has those two separated, too

#

We usually have forensic biology and forensic genetics

#

Because there are some situations (crime solving for example, but for OW it'd be other stuff) in which you can delve REALLY deeply into genetics, whereas the other areas of biology can be grouped up as one

Sombra too - she hacks with her left, and her grip with her right hand is shaky

the current story is centered around Recall, which happens in the spring iirc

Only thing important in J-town rn is Junkrat’s treasure tbh

peak escarp Sep 17, 2019, 10:34 PM

Masquerade (and Doomfist's escape) happens roughly a year after that

Similar to Junkertown probably

similar

Junkertown was built out of a ruined omnium

Numbani was a collaborative effort between humans and omnics to build a city of harmony

valid terrace Sep 17, 2019, 10:44 PM

Yeah but in the beginning they likely had very similar purposes

To appease the post-war Omnics

yes

just in two very different ways

valid terrace Sep 17, 2019, 10:46 PM

Very interesting how much of it’s history does focus on humans alone though

#

tbh there’s probably going to be some event or character that stems from Russia’s Omnium

Unless it’s being directly controlled and not aimlessly spitting bots

peak escarp Sep 17, 2019, 10:50 PM

Russia is at war with them right now

#

they could revisit that

valid terrace Sep 17, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

Yeah it seems like a big deal that gets easily overlooked

#

But a decent twist would be that the Omnium is being run by Talon or some other shadow organization rather than the base AI

peak escarp Sep 17, 2019, 10:51 PM

#

that would be forced

valid terrace Sep 17, 2019, 10:51 PM

Or whatever program caused the war to begin with

Possibly but Talon does want war and may further explain why Volskaya was at odds with Talon

Volskaya is at odds with Talon because she won't join them

There’s a little less to do in modern day honestly

peak escarp Sep 17, 2019, 11:17 PM

there's a lot they could do in modern day

they could give us missions we haven't heard of yet

omnic crisis missions would require changes to certain heroes' kits (which wouldn't be an issue in a separate game)

valid terrace Sep 17, 2019, 11:19 PM

I just think the Omnics would make for a good, consistent enemy throughout each level

last inlet Sep 17, 2019, 11:20 PM

I wouldn't mind it working off the current game but with a small amount of customization exclusive to the story

#

For each hero

Rather than Talon or Helix or whatever else

McCree, obviously

but I also really like Mercy and Sombra

a good amount of ppl ik have said mercy. personally i really like mercy too but there isnt much lore to really like her for is there?

as u can tell i dont know much about the character's bgs lol

#

basically im asking what do you like abt mercy

peak escarp Sep 19, 2019, 12:55 AM

there's a fair amount, but it's mostly buried in lore for other heroes

I like how she's the only one who thinks Overwatch coming back is a bad idea

idk i always tend to miss interactions/voice lines

worthy rose Sep 19, 2019, 12:58 AM

#

He’s more “it’s shut down. Im gonna take vengeance on everyone who brought it down” and doesn’t necessarily want it to come back. He’s sort of a man on a mission of vengeance no longer caring about it’s return

#

Like if you ask me, I dont think he cares much if it returns or not. He’s taking down those who wronged the organization and that’s about it

Sombra lore wise cause she hints at something more and also if something is amiss she usually has a hand in it

I love the conspiracy and am very intrigued how they write it out more and I have a couple of theories but none of them have any actual proof

the theories i mean

how did bastion get recruited to overwatch?

peak escarp Sep 19, 2019, 1:32 AM

read the comic "Binary"

it's implied that afterwards, Torbjorn brings it to Overwatch

it hasn't been confirmed that Bastion joins new Overwatch, but the Blizzard World trailer and the blurb on the back of the comic anthology imply that it does

Echo

#

Potentially not an omnic

peak escarp Sep 19, 2019, 1:41 AM

it doesn't have to be in a short, but I'd like to see the other heroes' reactions to Torbjorn showing up with a bastion unit

#

Reinhardt's reaction in particular

damn

that would be emotional considering what the bastion units did to balderich

flat mantle Sep 19, 2019, 1:43 AM

I want an explanation of the second omnic crisis, an explanation for Echo, more queer characters revealed and more relationships in general revealed. character development matters to me more than the overall plot but the first question feels way too important to leave unanswered for a long period of time

what's there to explain? omnics in Siberia are attacking Russian forces, Katya Volskaya is secretly receiving tech from an omnic informant

orientations and relationships are low on the priority list

I would like blizzard to make a movie... but considering the flop that warcraft became.. i dont think it would work out either

peak escarp Sep 19, 2019, 1:46 AM

#

Echo you'll probably get an explanation for pretty soon, since she's the most likely to be the hero announced at Blizzcon

limpid agate Sep 19, 2019, 1:49 AM

#

Second Omnic Crisis
What Dr6 said. Omnics woke back up as mysteriously as the first time, and Katya is supplying the war with Numbani tech. (Also wroth noting that the Russian Omnium was one of the ones not shut down by Overwatch)

#

Echo
This will come when she becomes a hero, most likely this year Blizzcon.

#

More LGBT characters
For what purpose?

#

More relationships
For watch purpose?

#

Most heroes have no reason to be in a present day relationship. I am surprised Reaper even had a family

#

Like, take Doomfist.

peak escarp Sep 19, 2019, 1:52 AM

#

his family was probably during the Golden Age of Overwatch, back when things were a little more settled

limpid agate Sep 19, 2019, 1:53 AM

#

Him having a relationship probably wouldn't mean much. I can only see it being important to either show:
A: He is willing (or unwilling) to sacrifice his own family for his goal
B: He is grooming an heir

peak escarp Sep 19, 2019, 1:53 AM

#

(which also means any children he had would probably have inherited his SEP genetics but not whatever Moira did to him)

What is the melody that Sigma hears??

#

I do not understand

limpid agate Sep 19, 2019, 1:55 AM

#

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musica_universalis

Musica universalis

The musica universalis (literally universal music), also called music of the spheres or harmony of the spheres, is an ancient philosophical concept that regards proportions in the movements of celestial bodies—the Sun, Moon, and planets—as a form of music. This "music" is...

#

Is what its speculated to be

#

The mathematical concept of the universe as a form of music

peak escarp Sep 19, 2019, 1:56 AM

#

apparently, recent studies into black holes have detected certain tones/sounds that come from black holes

#

I don't think they knew about this when designing Sigma, but it's still interesting

worthy rose Sep 19, 2019, 1:58 AM

#

That's neat

flat mantle Sep 19, 2019, 1:58 AM

#

like I said, this is just what I personally want. I didn't realise the second crisis was so similar to the first, so apologies, but in that case I want an explanation for the omnics 'going rogue' per se in general, and an explanation for the god programs. I want LGBT characters cuz I like having them and I want relationships (friendships, family, not just romantic if that was what it looked like) because they're more interesting to read about than reading about a robot war. like, shorts and comics about character development. just my opinion

peak escarp Sep 19, 2019, 1:59 AM

#

understandable

#

unfortunately they haven't explained why the omnics went rogue - I feel like they'll save that for a major lore event, along with what happened between Jack and Gabe in the Swiss HQ

#

"god programs" really just refers to Anubis

limpid agate Sep 19, 2019, 2:00 AM

#

Personally, I do not find character relationships interesting, and think they generally detract unless they have some importance.

#

LGBT or not

#

Widow's, Ana's, and Torb's are relevant because they are core to the origins of Widowmaker, Pharah, and Brigitte.

#

Soldier's and Reaper's are not, they just exist as another layer of contrast between the two characters.

#

Tracer's is not, but she's the protagonist so she gets a pass.

worthy rose Sep 19, 2019, 2:01 AM

Tracer is the protagonist?

Either Winston or Sigma asa guess

Sigma would have the lowest IQ of the geniuses

He's 62

He’s insane but that doesn’t make him stupid

dry portal Sep 19, 2019, 2:37 AM

In other words, the older you are, the lower your IQ

Is Sigma the oldest character?

Have there been any leaks about a new character?

nope

The only hero who was ever leaked was Orisa.

I would imagine

I was searching and one article claimed about some friend of Baptiste

limpid agate Sep 19, 2019, 2:45 AM

Sombra's art was leaked before, but we already knew the hero would be Sombra.

worthy rose Sep 19, 2019, 2:45 AM

Mauga

The Orisa leak said "Doomfist is a black guy" which we knew, and nothing more. DIdnt even say he would be a hero

Only known friends of Baptist’s are Mauga and Sombra

limpid agate Sep 19, 2019, 2:45 AM

There should be a new hero and short at Blizzcon

#

Echo seems to be the frontrunner.

#

Some people say Mauga could also be it, but I don't see them making a whole new kit and all the requisite stuff for the gameplay side of the hero this quickly, when Sigma would've been Mauga if his gameplay fit.

#

I really don't like Echo. Her sudden appearance at the end of Reunion feels poorly handled in my opinion

#

I mean, I think one of the main things is that we don't have any information about her at all (other than she's Vishkar-branded...) so I have no reason to like her outside of purely her design

#

And... I don't like her design

#

My least favorite part is probably the hard-light face, it's just kind of... yugh... Not really consistent with the inhuman faces we've seen from Omnics thus fair.

#

I mean, I would think whatever this is, is a better design overall https://pm1.narvii.com/6386/f73c110c86208b6807e97fd82b92545629c8cb67_hq.jpg
