Hey Dog, for your protection, remove the transaction ID numbers of your recent transaction list. That should not be shared publicly.

Blizzard is aware of the bug involving the new Spawn Room AFK rule, unfortunately they don’t have a resolution ready to roll out yet. (I have been keeping tabs on this.)

Remember to swap heroes if necessary and utilize all of your possible spawn exits.

Not me this time, ProtoIV stepped up. I am too busy writing the NFL football schedule for my “paid” job so I couldn’t join in on the session today.

Avian, would you be so kind to update your link to the following YouTube link. ProtoIV was able to do a recording of the whole broadcast. That way we can keep everything on one discussion thread.

Thank you very much!

Andy, on the discussion of feedback. Can you say if it is still the philosophy of the dev team that they take into account these three factors when determine balance changes overall:

• Player feedback across all ranks
• Statistical performance of heroes at pro level and grandmaster play
• Developer team insights

I know this was something former Game Director Jeff Kaplan discussed at length on the old forums. (I really need to finish the old forum archives…)

Ah fair enough… yeah, I track major changes in the dev post archive in terms of technical changes to the ruleset. Unfortunately there have been no major changes to Competitive for several seasons now, unless you count the Global Play matchmaking changes and Crossplay addition.

The better way to figure that out is check your Player Icons or Sprays Season 1 through 21 were map themed icons and sprays, 22 and on where hero weapon themed.

Just as a friendly reminder everyone! I noticed a lot of players getting season banned during season 29 reported in the technical discussion forum. Please make sure that if you encounter a technical issue when playing Competitive, try to finish the current match, but then avoid requeuing for Competitive Play until you take the time to sort out any issues. Penalties will never be reversed for leaving Competitive matches regardless of the reason.

If you are encountering it in your own matches, report in the thread which I have started here as I am pooling this information.

That is not very helpful as that only describe how big your own “pipe” is to your ISP. The latency is the measurement from the game server, passing through all the internet hubs, to your router is and that is subjected how the infrastructure between you and the server is laid out.

Earning XP levels you up to earn more loot boxes. So this weekend you can earn twice as many Loot Boxes as usual as you play Overwatch. This typically happens during the final full weekend of the seasonal event.

I am under the impression someone complained about being banned has been removed from the discussion in this thread.

Friendly reminders about official resources relating to account actions:

Alright, are we ready? CHARGE!

Good luck to everyone this season!

So to confirm is this just a bug fix PTR? No feature updates?

As I have said before, these are really cool skins and they are fun to add to my collection. However, I do feel like this seasonal event was not the opportunity to introduce those skins. They would have been more fun and special if added to the standard loot box distribution.

To locate the NVidia Reflex option, go to Options > Video and you will see it just below the Display Performance Stats/Advanced Performance Stats options. I believe the option will only appear for systems that are equipped with a compatible graphics card.

Thanks for the update!!

As a friendly reminder to everyone, using the in-game Looking for Group tool is a great way to get players together to tackle the PVE missions that you are looking to complete quickly and effectively. Find it below the main cards in the Play Menu!

You have no idea how long the ritual took to make that thing work just right.
