New sounds in Overwatch! The new OW patch is live on the PTR servers and can be tested. Among other things, the elevators have finally been revised – after four years… There is also an epic new voice line.
First of all: For all those who are now wondering what is so interesting about elevators, here is a small explanation:
For heroes like Torbjörn , Bastion , McCree and many others who don’t have many or hardly any movement tools to get the much-loved “High-Ground” position, stairs, elevators and other locomotion devices are of great importance. For the last four years, however, exactly these devices have been a thorn in the side of the players, since they looped up and down and the players had to estimate when they could jump on them in order to gain the upper hand in the fight.
That should finally change now. In the new patch, these elevators should be set in such a way that they only start when a player stands on them – the whole thing is accompanied by suitable sound effects and should hopefully ensure that you can tear across the map as you are doing it needs.
In addition to these changes, there is another point under General Updates. For all those who lose their gaming fun due to the toxicity of other players or have problems letting off steam in the game because of this, you can be happy: The dev team has also revised the swear word filter !
Before you only had the option to turn it on or off, but now we have the chance to set the filter to 3 different levels.
Friendly – Friendly
This is the filter that hides all vulgar, obscene and offensive words from a continuously updated list. Therefore, this filter is the most “Family-Friendly” one. In this way, younger players can let off steam without being teased by others.
Mature – adult
Here one or the other words will still be legible, but in general strongly insulting statements should be faded out. Of course, the easiest way would be for people to just leave the salt in the kitchen, but this filter helps for the most part.
Unfiltered – Unfiltered
As the name suggests, nothing changes in this filter and you can fully indulge in the toxicity of the other players. However, we don’t recommend this filter because you might see some ugly things, and you really don’t have to.
In addition, it’s quite nice that you can set your own filter settings for each chat.
Of course, these setting options should not give people a free hand over their choice of words. Blizzard continues to encourage players to report offensive and vulgar language.
hero update
The reason for our title – ” For the Crusaders! ” will be Reinhardt ‘s exclamation to his team when he fires his Ultimate.
Bug fixes:
Of course there were also one or two bug fixes. The following should be mentioned:
- Wrecking Ball ‘s Grappling Hook now has improved wall detection to make it easier to hook and swing from wall to wall.
- Pharah’s eyes will no longer animate incorrectly when equipping the Lifesaver skin.
- Fixed another eye issue – the creepy bug that Baptiste ‘s eyes didn’t blink while he was in his idle animation.
- Fixed the bug that prevented Reinhardt ‘s “Storm, Earth and Fire” achievement from unlocking.
And a few other little things, but mostly just related to textures and effect rendering. We hope you enjoy the new patch and if you have any cool matches or wholesome moments, don’t be afraid to share them with us on Twitter and Facebook !
OVERWATCH 2 – A VISUAL EVOLUTION
Overwatch 2 takes the world and gameplay to a new level: the environments are more dynamic, the battles are more comprehensive, improved effects and shadows enrich the atmosphere in the game. You will be immersed in the story of Overwatch in gripping events. All heroes will get a completely new, even more detailed and authentic look in Overwatch 2.
The five best Overwatch skins
As really cool – so you could title the new Overwatch skins. Because Blizzard Entertainment has really put a lot of effort this time and gifted the community with new cosmetics.
The OverwatchEcent Archives is in full swing. And once again, it takes us back to the original Overwatch team that used to fight in the streets of King’s Row against the rebellion started by the Null Sector. We also remember eight years ago when we took control of Blackwatch, a terrorist organization bent on destruction. But besides all the nostalgia, there’s something else that makes this event: the Archives skins. Here comes the top 5 of the best Cosmetics.
5th Place: Zarya’s “Workout.”
Giving us a bit of workout reality is Zarya’s “Workout” skin at #5. At a young age, Zarya identified a lot with athletics and here she shows that she’s a tough woman. But we honestly expected something more from the professional weightlifter. Still, the skin turned out quite nice.
4th Place: Roadhog’s “Militia” Look
Blizzard has done a good job of mixing the scout and military outfits, so Roadhog’s “Militia” skin lands in 4th place. We especially love the patches attached to the dungarees, but this skin isn’t as colorful and fancy as, say, other skins in the ranking. For that, it gets a solid 4th place.
3rd place: Junkrats “King Jamison
Majestic and bold in 3rd place is Junkat’s “King Jamison” skin. After being banished from Junkertown by the queen, he’s back and presents himself as a real eye-catcher that the queen would be jealous of. We were taken with the golden leg, but so much potential was lost with the rather plain shirt. That’s why Junkrat only makes it to number 3.
2nd place: Pharah’s “Aviator” style
Lieutenant Fareeha “Pharah” comes flying in at number two, in a stunning look that should wow anyone. The aviator sunglasses plus jetpack give her a thematically badass appearance that still makes her look cool and beautiful.
1st Place: Ana’s “Sniper” Skin.
Ana breathes new life into us with her “Sniper” skin and is unrivaled our No. 1 spot. During the Omnic crisis in her earlier years, Ana slayed the Omnics in this color stunning outfit. Her red scarf, headset and many other smaller accessories add the finishing touches to the skin that have us excited.
We’re excited to see when and with which skins Blizzard will wow us again. For more info on Overwatch and everything else about the world of Esports and gaming, check out Early Game.
