Blue Tweets

PvP
hello, will the 25% damage increase for tanks be removed in legion? Since you could manually change stats around for...
If possible, it will be removed. Undecided at this time. (holinka)

PvE
valor being brought back for half the last tier of the expac really fails to capture why people enjoyed to begin with
Just to make sure I understand the feedback/concern, what did you like most about Valor in the past? (WatcherDev)

Can you only get valor for one heroic per day? Or can you spam until your gear is fully upgraded? People seem to think...
It's just the first Heroic of the day. There's no completely spammable source of Valor. (WatcherDev)

Final Boss #101 - LIMIT Guild Spotlight
This week Final Boss talked to LIMIT, a newer US guild that is made up of members that were previously in top guilds.

Waiting for that beta invite now.

[Ovaldo]

Well, we got the FoV slider, shame it doesn't show the number.

Beta is beta, it hopefully could change before launch. Also noticed some inconsistencies on the button names, on one screen backspace was labeled as BCKSP and others it was Backspace.

Anyways, good luck to all!

[Sierra85]

Overwatch beta should be very interesting!

[yango]

so excited! hope i get the beta invite

[Xilurm]

Considering there's a gamepad integration it's safe to assume that it's going to be for Xbox One then?

[Reforge]

Looks like ppl who are getting beta already got it ??

Most are streamers and friends so remember that next wave should be soon hopefully.

[aviger]

I was able to download it just now and I am not a streamer nor friend. Can't login yet but that's more than likely because servers aren't up

You can make the Battle.net launcher start the installation using the command prompt.

You can set the FoV manually in the config file

[roahn the warlock]

Will this show up after the maintenance set for Today? I got into HOTS Alpha, so I can't imagine I wouldn't get this one early.

[Cheerbleeder]

Overwatch Developers need to add one more ability besides crouch.......PRONE. For real, bring that Battle Field - Strike at Karkand 'dolphin dive' back because its skill. Also the animations should be quick and not delayed. There should always be a skill in game for people quick with their character to rearrange their 'hidden' hit box

I believe "BCKSP" is what the game uses internally and "Backspace" is the string for it so they have only forgot to add the string in the other place.

[PrismaLin]

Now time to play the waiting game for beta

[Fengas]

Can't wait to get teamed up with people who play with controllers.
Normally I always say that people should play however they want and feel comfortable with, but not when it's at expense of other people, playing with controller is like crippling yourself on purpose.

[Niwes]

thought this is mmo champion. "mmo". since when is overwatch a mmo ? or did blizz pay for that ? since a while (when you look how moderators acting here) it seems that blizz has several influences here...

[Deleted]

While I dislike that MMO-Champion only posts positively about Blizzard and their latest change in behaviour, I doubt they have any influence on this site.
