[Forkball]

[Hasney]

CTF!!!

 

[duckroll]

Time to jump back in...?

 

[Bony Manifesto]

Oh man, it'll be interested to see how they balance that CTF mode, especially if you can choose any character for it. You must drop the flag if you use any movement ability, surely.

 

[Acidote]

14k credits and 200 points left to level up.

I am ready.

 

[VeryNicePerson]

D.Va looks amazing. Hopefully, not everything will cost 3k. (looking at you D.Va emote)

 

[Village]

Junkrat finally has a good skin.

what in the hell
Dude has a joker skin and all his alt colors are dope

 

[squall23]

Torbjorn will be credit to team.

 

[MrPanic]

This shot looks really cool.

I must get my hands on Roadhog's and Zenyatta's skin.

 

[Chindogg]

Yeah I need those Journey To The West skins.

Deleted. Any other source?

 

[Black Hat]

Video was taken down.

 

[Mutant]

Is this going to be the most legendary skins out of any event so far?

 

[Braag]

Oh god... I need those rein and roadhog skins. Also that zenyatta and winston... I need all of them!

nice.

 

[Dunfisch]

Could very well imagine most of the skins to be at legendary tier, so that's 3K coins per, so that's impossible to afford, so a few days back I got hit with the infinite map loading loop glitch so now I'm penalized in regards to EXP gain so now I can't gain loot boxes in a meaningful way because the game fucked me over for no reason.

Whee! Gonna be a fun time not getting anything at all.

Spoiler

Also wondering, given the nature of the event this might be more of a one-off for once? Unsure if Blizzard would offer the same cosmetics again next year. CNY in 2018 is also nearly 3 weeks later than this year.

 

[squall23]

I'm so glad I opted out of buying Winston's Yeti skin, because otherwise I wouldn't have the credits to buy Wukong just in case.

 

[Lemonte]

All the skins look awesome.

 

[jediyoshi]

ROOSTER GANYMEDE

 

[Newtype-001]

No Gengu skin rip
Carbon fibre for another 3months

 

[suzu]

Pretty nice skins. Rooster Ganymede!

 

[PayOffWizard]

That tracer emote is awesome. I hope its not a legendary.

 

[Mendrox]

Man, thanks Blizzard!

 

[Kyonashi]

How long do these events usually last? My PC is currently dead due to hard drive failure but I miss Overwatch and I really want that D.Va skin...

About 3 weeks usually, I think.

This will be today - Feb 13

 

[hydruxo]

oh my god I need this

 

[The_Endgamer]

Where is the Hanzo love?

Get enough dickheads on there disliking him already and on the big Asian theme event no news on Genji or Hanzo...

Disappointed.

 

[Mendrox]

Oh another good thing: Another incoming wave of Overwatch cosplays

 

[Acquiescence]

It was going so well, and then I saw Tracer's face.

 

[Forkball]

Disappointed.

Hanzo will get a rad Cupid skin on Valentine's Day and Genji will get a sweater Mercy knit for him.

 

[Cappa]

Hanzo will get a rad Cupid skin on Valentine's Day and Genji will get a sweater Mercy knit for him.

there is no valentines day event.

 

[Velikost]

No Reaper, no care

 

[RecRoulette]

lmao, Winston keeps the flag when using primal rage?

 

[squall23]

Disappointed.

Because Chinese New Year isn't a big thing to Japanese people anymore. I mean, I'm sure there are some people that celebrate it, but not to the extent of other Asian regions. You can argue that characters such as Tracer or Mercy shouldn't have new skins either, but clearly Blizzard just wants to see Chinese dresses on their female characters.

 

[TrueBlue]

I knew you would say something about that. :lol

 

[PayOffWizard]

Damn, i thought this was going to be an emote but looking at it again its probably a highlight intro.

 

[PayOffWizard]

lmao, Winston keeps the flag when using primal rage?

it looks like they drop it when they are dead.

 

[No_Style]

Well...this is going to put a halt on my Yakuza 0 plans. Lovely trailer!

 

[Pooya]

Roadhog get a skin in every single event and of course in the end they refused to nerf the hook but kinda buffed him instead. favoritism is so obvious, disgusting.

 

[GraveRobberX]

So if all Heroes are being used in CTF, holy shit you can really abuse certain Heroes


Bastion/Torb/Junkrat on Defense
Roadie to Hook
Pharah to really boost the flag to out of bound areas and bring it in by slowly hovering it
Tracer, Lucio, and S75 with speed
Rein with one Charge and right turn adjustment and caps it

So many ways this mode will have teams setup

 

[LastMinuteHero]

Is ctf going to be in competitive?

 

[Visualante2]

What bums me out is that the community seems to be focused on skins and animations instead of maps and game modes. I appreciate times have changed, indeed Team Fortress 2 today is nothing like what it was in 2008. But I just miss the days where the cosmetics were a nice bonus rather than front and center.

Oasis just hasn't done anything for me like Goldrush or Badwater did. Hopefully CTF does.

 

[Yukinari]

So what thats like 5 or 6 legendaries? Really makes me mad that you cant get quicker EXP anymore.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Literally me. "Oh this is neat, nice, nice....oh. That dumbass derp face they gave Tracer." -___-
