Are there new voice lines in this patch? Just heard a Widow talking about New Year resolutions

I've got played that castle a lot either. Certainly not enough times to remember the name lol.
Yessss. I love that updates always seem to drop on my day off from work.
Slightly on-topic rant: on the downside, how the f is 38 gbs not enough storage space to download the update, PSN? And why are you so gd slow? At this rate I won't be able to play Overwatch until later tonight.

I noticed Reinhardt has one as well: "My new year's resolution? The same as every year! Fight for justice!"

Fair enough... I still have three Winter skins I've yet to unlock, so I'll take the XP.
Yeah, no dedicated arcade mode for Oasis...
Edit: was wrong, showed up later. Weird.

Yup. Oasis was the first game I got into. So many flank routes is awesome. That one little crawl space near the final point is pretty neat.

Wtf why is the download on PS4 telling me it's 12 gigs?
Surely that isn't right?

That's the only map I hate. It's too damn hard and if more than a few of your teammates die it's over and you ain't making it back to the point in time.

Overwatch already has a SFV character why not add another.

Only 646 MB for me, how long has it been since you last fired it up?

- release a new map this time with no skins
- since mei's garbage offensive is still up there's no oasis 24/7 playlist
- keep the event up without telling anybody so people like me wasted credits early
- updated the game without hotfixing d.va, ana or soldier even in the ptr
- updated the game without fixing the mei ecopoint glitch
just fuck me up fam

I didn't see the size but my PSN download went unexpectedly fast. But now when I log in it's still Winter Wonderland. Confused. Help.

PS4 patch sizes are the most goddamn obtuse thing in the world. It shows you the size of all the patches available for the game, figures out what parts you're missing (a process that takes for goddamn ever), then downloads the portion of that 12 gigs you need. So, if you're up to date on patches, your download will start at 11.2 gb complete or whatever.

Yeah the file size was the size of the game itself
I just paused/resumed to see if it would get its shit together, still "preparing to download" at the moment
Awesome. Definitely shouldn't be a priority or anything

The new map looks really nice, one of the best looking maps so far.

Are people going to praise Kaplan for making a map that's 'vertical' and release Eichenwalde again?
There's nothing vertical about Eichenwalde.

New video option in this patch. Seems like an option to reduce input lag.

Cool now how about they fix that Mei glitch especially when playing elimination. I'm tired of getting hit with a -75% xp bonus because I leave matches where Mei's on my team or the opposing team glitch into the map.

Zarya ain't no Zangeif... nah jk who is the SFV character in Overwatch?
Anyways, Just decided to start a custom match to check it out, playing w boys isn't as fun but oh well...
Edit: embarrassed to say but I got destroyed by the bot team, and initial thoughts are that the map is kind of meh IMO - think I seen a single bounce pad whole match and the one use of it felt kind of 'off'; the cars on the map are way off to the side and so far away you really need to go out of your way to end up 'run over'... ...for the record I played 80% the match with Ana.
Something else I noticed in custom match type is that some of characters are not available as 'bots' - D. Va is an example of a character that cannot be selected as a bot... maybe has something to do with each character requiring their own 'A.I.' ???

I play on ps4 and I think its great. Obviously not as precise aiming wise, but the game is balanced with that in mind. Give it a shot if you are interested.

It's a pretty boring looking map. :/

Only got the map to show up once during my daily level up, but it seems to have a ton of openings to the point, which can lead to big firefights. I'll be curious to learn it better.

This update just destroyed my GPU and now I can't use my PC. Right before I need to finish important work.
Thanks Blizzard.

Aye it is I have the same amount of hours on both now and only bought it at the last free weekend. It's less toxic as there is no text chat but that also means less general communication
Characters also get new years themed voice lines too!

Winter Wonderland is finally over. New Oasis only Arcade mode is up!

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
At least the one in Overwatch doesnt dress like an instagram thot
Me: *Ad playing* "Why the Oasis recommendations? ...Oh."

When something is on the PTR it comes into the game as is. They never change anything.
This is definitely me.

Might check it out on the Xbox One. Gave up on the PC version.

Played a few games on Oasis, pretty fun map and good looking too. Was hoping you could launch Dva's self destruct up the jump pad but seems like you can't, oh well.
