>people not getting why they dodged the character question

It's because they haven't decide if they will even add new characters yet. They really wanted to hammer the 21 heroes thing because they might be the only heros. People expected more than nine classes in tf2 too. If these retards asking questions were smart, they would have asked how new maps and skins would be handled.

th for don't judge a Mei by it's cover.

xth for Tracerfags confirmed to word tripping autistic retards

>>121532757

If this was the case they would've just said 'We aren't sure if we're going to add new heroes, but if we do they will be free to all players.' They didn't say that. They dodged the question because they either don't know if they're gonna sell heroes yet or are sure that they will.

>>121532748
Yup, can't wait for the "which waifu has better skins" war

>>121532757
They have to wait for the sale numbers to see if they will continue to support the game. Blizzard themselves don't know if the game will succeed with this retarded business model.

>>121532757
>Not understanding the real issue
He dodged the question about wether or not we would have to pay. If they didn't plan micro transactions he couldve just said "If we make more shit, you won't have to pay for it." it wouldn't be a big deal.

This leads me to believe if they add stuff it will be micro transactions in a fucking $40 game.

No, retard. They're going to add more characters. It's blizzard, how could they not?

You thinking it's "only because they haven't decided if they will even add new characters yet" is only a testament to Jeff's question dodging abilities, it's basic psychology. His wording for multiple touchy questions was carefully scripted. That kind of reasoning is exactly the thing he wants you to think.

For all you fucking inbred Blizzdrones Twats. How does Blizzard, a huge gaming company that is about to release one of their newest IP's, have the nerve to actually say that 'we have no idea what we want to do with new heroes because we feel 21 heroes is the perfect number :^)' not give off big warning signs?

they purposely dodged the question because they know its not going to be a good look for them if they say new heroes will be behind paywalls. While if they simply stated there wont be any additional paywalls, it would have generated a good amount of goodwill for them from the start.

For people complaining about the small beta, it's small because they want to save costs it's that simple. They have enough players to find bugs etc. no need for additional server costs as long as they don't think that it would make them more money.

>>121535764
Yep, Blizzard knows the game is on suicide watch. They will watch over for a while and see how much money they can make. If the answer is nothing because their payment model is shit tier, they pack up half the staff and go make a new game

>>121535670

But that would be a straight up lie, rather than the dodge they gave. Also that would make the community a lot more upset when they do reveal that you have to buy heroes, because people won't care about the "AT THE MOMENT"

They fucking recognize the hype, but they don't seem to understand why they're getting it. Don't nobody give two shits about another fucking multiplayer only FPS, aimed toward the "super elite" E-Sport fanbase.

The hype they have been bathing in for this game comes from the interesting cinematic reveal that led to people being excited for a new world, new lore, interesting characters, and they're not going to get any of that. The lore is going to boil down to character bios and maybe one more cinematic being released for the game, and that's it. So what Blizzard has effectively, and amazingly, done is create hype for a game they never intended to make.

People wanted to dive into the world of Overwatch and learn about these (potentially) interesting characters, and the conflict that arose within Overwatch, instead they're going to get a $40 shooter that will be marketed like it's a revolutionary "E-Sports killer" and it'll be forcefed to the masses that way.

You know I was kind of thinking this thing would be a deathblow to TF2, but god damn when your exclusive ass beta is lasting for fucking ever with only streamers getting to play it, and TF2 matchmaking going to be out by the end of the year, maybe that corpse will just keep on shambling.

Seriously though 8 fucking months when people already have access to what is essentially the full game? Come the fuck on Blizz

It's likely it'll go from closed to open and won't end until a month before release.

>>121536862
8 months is the end of Spring, not a set release date. It's anywhere between 2-8 months.

>>121536395

They have the servers ready they plan to have.

There are a lot of reasons, but a few of them are pretty obvious.

As another stated, you want your product to appear good, scarce and let a select few promote it, and show you how good this product is.

You want it, and the more you cant have this, you will want it more, as long as they can make you believe it is worth it.

Also, the beta is not really a "beta" as most probably can figure out. The game is so incredibly polished, have almost every hero at launch, with only few maps disguising it as a beta. Therefore it is a PR platform, and close to a full game.
They dont want people having acces to the game yet because of several reasons.

One is production slates (try look at blizzard planned releases, why should they give acces now of all times?)

Another is that you risk people getting tired of the game before planned.

Yes they could cash in a lot of money, but unless they can make your buy un-refundable with the beta they will take a risk.

This is only the tip of the iceberg.

How does Blizzard expect this to be an esport if they a) deny widespread access to the game behind both a B2P and a grind for features system and b) continually piss on people's hopes and dreams by denying a real beta and treating people like idiots.

>>121539241
>Scout is designed about working around team damage to clean up kills, while Genji is more of a 1v1 flank and get-in-your-face with that deflect skill
Genji can do the exact same thing though, and the fact you can see enemy health arguably makes him even better at it.. Scout is also a great flanking get-in-your-face class as well.

>>121539783
>game has been out for this long
>still don't know the difference in health values
White = Regular Health
Blue = Shields (regenerate on their own after a while)
Yellow = Armor (can be healed, resistant against hitscan damage)

>>121539783
No.

Yellow means Armor, Armor reduces each instance of damage by some flat amount (-5 or something?), meaning low damage high rate of fire heroes (Tracer, Soldier 76) do significantly reduced damage to Armor.

Blue means Shield, Shields regenerate. White is Health-Health

Support Heroes / Health Packs / etc will regenerate the base armor of heroes that have armor (but not, for example, armor from Tjorb's buff)
