Does that mean I'm a big youtuber/streamer?

Yeah

 

[IceMarker]

I mean, I stream on Twitch, but I very much doubt that's why I got invited.

I'll be more excited if they give me friend keys to hand out.

 

[TheAggroCraig]

I was in the original waves of the beta but didn't have a PC that could run it... but now I do! Very excited to play this for the first time since PAX East last year!

 

[DixieFlatline]

New patch is live.

 

[IceMarker]

Restart your Battle.net client! 5GB patch!

I hope Blizzard is back again this year. That was my highlight of last year. Congrats on being able to finally play!

[CodeNfX]

Do they send you an email if you're invited? I'm at work so I can't check my b.net client.

Yes they will but the email may come much later than the time you're actually given acces

 

[Acidote]

I promised myself to never pay for microtransactions.

Shiiiiieeeet.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

I promised myself to never pay for microtransactions.

Shiiiiieeeet.

wtf is that monstrosity. her face and eyes are the best part of her model. now they're all obscured!

 

[B00TE]

Do they send you an email if you're invited? I'm at work so I can't check my b.net client.

Fastest way then is checking your account page/game licenses. You'll see a box under the Overwatch section that says Overwatch Beta.

 

[KarmaCow]

Wait the new mode is just koth?

 

[belushy]

Those skins are sweet!

 

[Balmung421]

I promised myself to never pay for microtransactions.

Shiiiiieeeet.

OMG

[StarlordDial]

So streamers are getting theirs huh ;_;

 

[BraXzy]

Occasionally pressing F5 on my Battle.net page. Lottery ticket pls win.

 

[mkenyon]

Game is available for download.

No new invites yet, those are to come later.

Kudochop gonna be streaming as soon as the game is downloaded and updated. twitch.tv/kudochop

 

[Strakt]

[TheYanger]

I promised myself to never pay for microtransactions.



Shiiiiieeeet.

Hopefully it's reasonable to just get everything through packs for free. That reinhardt look is so fucking good. QQ

 

[gutshot]

Everything looks and sounds amazing. Can't wait to browse all the cosmetic items in-game. That white Reaper skin will be mine.

Are the servers up or is the patch just being pushed?

 

[gryvan]

[belushy]

[Apathy]

Damn, custom games with settings, they fucking did it.

 

[Balmung421]

Just downloaded a 4.88 Gb patch

I AM IN

 

[NHL94]

Im getting an error "Something went wrong trying to launch a program. We're not sure what caused it, so please try again or click the code below for more information. Sorry about that!"

Code is BLZBNTAG00000843

Anyone else?

 

[FallingEdge]

downloaded patch but can't play yet

patiently waiting....

 

[Pyros_Eien]

Stupid Blizzard servers, downloading so slowly. Apparently patch notes on reddit, they're pictures because copy paste doesn't work or whatever:

[CarbonatedFalcon]

It should be a crime that they let you download the patch without letting you in.

 

[The Auxiliary]

Ugh... worst time EVER for my Internet connection to be down. Fml.

 

[B00TE]

Excited to hear the new impressions from this patch! Also can't wait to see more goofy plays of the game.

 

[callsignkrogan]

Blizzard knows how to make sweet ass skins. I have already spent too much money on hots.

 

[Acidote]

It should be a crime that they let you download the patch without letting you in.

I just started a download and I don't have an invite afaik so it seems that is the case.

 

[Nirolak]

I made a thread about the new info here. May be useful to some of you since the Polygon article went down: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1181874

 

[TheYanger]

The changes to shield healing and overcharge mechanics sound awesome. I like these patch notes.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

IF I CAN UPDATE

DOES THAT MEAN I'M IN

OH MY GOD

 

[Unhandled Exception]

IF I CAN UPDATE

DOES THAT MEAN I'M IN

OH MY GOD

No.

 

[Acidote]

IF I CAN UPDATE

DOES THAT MEAN I'M IN

OH MY GOD

Nope.

 

[TheAggroCraig]

And now the wait until I get home in 4 hours, and then download the patch when everybody else is... grr...

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Nope.

Yeah... it does that just to taunt you.

I die a little bit inside when I check 'Play' and it says 'Sorry, you haven't been invited into the Overwatch beta yet.'

Hopefully I'll get in this time again, was in for the weekend beta and it was so damn good.

 

[Apathy]

Damn you guys, can you stop downloading it for a little bit. It was going so fast till you all started. Let me finish my download and then you can go,

 

[belushy]

Developer update video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41DLNBzp68Q

 

[gutshot]

A "Kill Feed Display" option has been added

YEEESSSSSS!

 

[Acidote]

Damn you guys, can you stop downloading it for a little bit. It was going so fast till you all started. Let me finish my download and then you can go,

No. If I can't play then I'll take as much bandwith as I can to delay your joy.

Watching Seagull play, a lot of small tweaks to graphics and stuff. Kill feed is good.

 

[Miker]

I guess I'm not in this one, despite being a previous beta (beta weekend, maybe not the actual "closed beta").
