thomas Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 "Open" beta 5th-9th. Early access beta begins on the 1st. I have a spare key for it if anyone wants. Do you have to do anything like pre order to get into the open beta? Not that it matters as I can always cancel if I don't like it. Nope. All a pre-order gets you is entry into the open beta a few days early. Everyone can get in on the 5th, pre-orders get in on the 2nd (not 1st, I was wrong) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbers Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Would be cool to get a N-O team going. Played this right through Beta, its awesome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Will be giving this a go on PS4, if anyone would like to team up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 So when can I play this again? Pre-ordered it on a whim, if I knew the beta was free for everyone after the 5th I would have probably tried that first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 pre-order beta opens today at ... 4pm PDT (-8GMT) so ... Midnight edit: complete east coast bias on my part but hate blizzard's timetables all being west coast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Fuck that, I was up at 6am for work Might get to play it Wednesday then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 It's a lot of fun. Good variation within the role archetypes. I like Bastion and playing defense at present. Want to get good with an offensive character - most likely the gunslinger. Tank/Heals don't really appeal to me yet. edit: Take that back. Reinhardt was fun as hell on escort missions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Y'all should get on this when it goes into open beta. There's going to be a reset before release so don't sweat earned skins/sprays/etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Definitely looking forward to it on the 5th, great timing as well with Uncharted on the 10th and this ending on the 9th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Couldn't be arsed to wait so pre ordered to get in early, loving it so far even if i'm not all that atm. Not tried a great deal of different heroes but the Reaper is hilariously good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuy_O Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I'll be going as Tracer first. Looks to be someone you could cause havoc with if used properly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelphish Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Tracer as well, feels like the natural choice coming from Scout main on TF2. Had a few games this evening and its brilliant. Thanks to thomas for the key :love: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuy_O Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Actually debating wether to play the beta at all. Had me eye on this game for ages now and i'm definitely getting it, so don't want to beta to take the gloss off. Beta has full access to everything also. I will probably snap tomorrow mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Yeah all i'm getting atm is Quick match which is fine for me really as all i really want to do is get in and have fun. Tried some more different heroes last night and i think i'm going to love Widowmaker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Starting to get my head round this a bit. Need to work out the maps now. When I've been trying to play support it seems like everyone's running all over the place instead of concentrating on an objective. Dunno if that's just cos everyone else is as crap as me.

When I've been trying to play support it seems like everyone's running all over the place instead of concentrating on an objective. Dunno if that's just cos everyone else is as crap as me. In my limited experience there are a lot of (bad) people who want to run in and try to be the lonewolf hero and take down the other team single-handed. The tiniest bit of teamwork > any twitch fps skills though so they get repeatedly and hilariously wafflestomped. I suspect they'll get tired of it quickly and either adapt or quit. edit: also it's really new, there's learning for everyone. I meet a lot of people who don't know that you can fire through Reinhardt's shield, so they just cower and follow me while not firing at the guy right in front of us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
