    Overwatch, team based shooter by Blizzard

    [​IMG]

    Overwatch icon just appeared in my battle.net app, can't play yet of course. Anyone else had this happen?

    I'll update the OP to make it a proper first post with info about the game later on.

    Saw that yesterday as well. Honestly not a fan of Blizzard games but I'm interested to try this.

    I saw video's and it looks cool, but I don't want a Battle.net account.
    Why would I sign up to Battle.net when it says I give them permission to read all my chats etc.

    I noticed the ican a few days ago, yes, 'sudden' pop up after no big info at all.

    Anybody going to check it out? I think I'll give it a go eventually, and hope it's more entertaining and less DLC wh*ring than Evolve.

    Because if you're one of those toxic players who harrass others in online games you should be banned. There's no need for that.

    They'll sell DLC for it, but I highly doubt it'll be anything more than cosmetic items/fluff.

    It's a free game, correct me if I'm wrong. And yeah, it'll be similar to Heroes of the Storm, cosmetic stuff.

    Nothing new? NSA been doing it for YEARS!

    Just don't be so paranoid and all will be fine.

    Their diablo 3 beta signup was pretty wack, you literally had to fill a sign-up and they'd ask all stupid questions if you played diablo 1 or warcraft.

    Apparently they wanted some hardcore Blizzard fans for the beta.

    Don't get excited if you see Overwatch in your launcher, you don't have alpha/beta access.

    I too got tricked, when i started WoW i saw it in my launcher and freaked out. :D

    I was in D3 beta, also got into HearthStone beta and Heroes of the Storm beta. Never got into any WoW betas though. I'm hoping to get into Overwatch though, it's a Blizz game, it'll be mega.
    Yeah, not that excited about it, was only excited for a minute when I saw the icon, because in the past it meant that the game is ready to be played. Not this time.

    Plus I'm too busy with WoW atm anyway :)

    A friend of mine is gaming the beta since yesterday. Anybody else already in?

    Kind of disappointed they can't get everybody to play... next time when I have the time to play most likely my friend won't if I even get a flag before the open beta weekend. Meh, stupid politics, good thing their streamer bitches are getting access.

    pretty much the only folks in right now are streamers that bliz likes, along with various pros. its basically a big calculated advertisement showcase, which i saw coming a mile away

    a friend of a friend in the pro scene (hardly know the guy) was just telling me that his tf2 buddies played the devs - & lost. apparently the game isnt quite as shallow as i initially surmised itd be. now im almost interested
