Overwatch servers just went down, probably because all the fun we were having crashed the servers. Is this game working yet?

EDIT: Nope, still not able to match make with anyone. Cool beta Gearbox.

It's fucking unbelievable, isn't it? What's the point of a beta in the first place if it doesn't run flawlessly? I'm thinking about asking for a refund

There's "not running flawlessly" and then there's "nobody has been able to find a game for 4+ hours."

Battleborn has been delayed until May 2016:

Well...at least I don't have to choose between it and Mirror's Edge in the same month any more.

So, I guess you haven't heard that Mirror's Edge got delayed to May as well?

The only thing I care about with regards to this game is that the OT reference that stupid tweet in some way.

I think he's mostly just getting at a good majority haven't been able to play, yet they continued to invite people and continue to hold stress tests. How are people testing the game? I still haven't been able to play a single game despite attempting to every single night. I left it running while I took a nap one day and we were up to three people, myself included. We all know it's a beta and I've defended it for being that but if we can't get in while they continue to pile people on top, when are we supposed to actually test the game?

I really enjoyed the beta. It was quite unbalanced towards a few characters but I still liked it.

• "Competitive multiplayer modes, maps, balance updates, and community features will also be free."
• "PlayStation 4 players who participate in the upcoming Open Beta will instantly-unlock Alani once she’s available after launch, saving players the time it takes to earn her through playing the game."
