The drip-feeding of information around everything happening with the game right now is frustrating. No details as to what was in season 5 until yesterday (like, who knew Mischief and Magic was Prop Hunt?), showing what they've decided PvE will be in a video, and then later on going "Oh yeah, it'll cost $5 to keep", but no details on how substantial these missions are...they're just not great at telling people anything, which makes it all worse.

I sank so so many hours into OW1 in the first two years... I barely touched OW2. Its a hollowed out, soulless imitation of the original. Fuck what Blizzard has become.
Same. I had 100s of hours in the game and started to step away around the time of cross play being introduced. I haven’t had the slightest desire to go back for OW2.
Leave OW2
Return to TF2
Return to ~~monke~~ heave
Edit: lol I guess strikethrough don't work yet on Jerboa
Wow, had no idea we would have to pay for these story missions. I still have a lot of questions like are the missions free to play for a limited time? And how big are these missions?
They haven't really been clear, but that's nothing new from Blizzard. They removed the replay-ability and talent trees from these missions which severely diminishes my interest in playing them. If there's good lore, I might as well experience that by watching a streamer's play through.
Lmao of course they would.
I don’t get it.
OW2 was announced as free-to-play and would shut down the original Overwatch servers with it. However, Blizz had said that OW2 would come with a PvE mode (which was highly requested with Overwatch). When OW2 released, the game released with no PvE mode but the promise that they'd add it in later. In May, Blizz announced that the PvE mode had been cancelled altogether. A week or so later, Blizz reversed the decision to cancel the PvE mode. Now the PvE mode is coming and it'll cost $15.
So, just more Blizzard being incredibly shitty. As always.
