Obviously went 8th since the one time in a blue moon I decide to play Solar I have another dude playing the comp.
There is just nothing else happening in Overwatch? Just hey here, here and here you can spend money? Yeah I don't think I want an animated character or map in the background. In fact I think the shop should just be the home screen at this point.
It's a 17 minute game and he died 35 times. Like you are spending half the game respawning??? And yeah I basically had to solo tank (It's an emerald lobby btw)
Especially if you don't have a lot of Warframes it can take quite a bit of time to get to the 10 invigorations needed to override it onto your Volt, Wisp, Nova or whatever you intend to run for the event.
Edit for those saying it's not coming this year. It was in the Devshort: https://www.youtube.com/live/QliB9kQA9uI?si=EdFoNzY1anO9RW99&t=1005
Please read at least this sentence before replying I am NOT suggesting adding the loss reduction part of the map vote thing.
Personally I really don't care about Battlepass XP you might aswell not attach any reward to it and I find it hard to imagine that there are many people out there in desperate need of Battlepass XP. But maybe I am wrong.
However something that I don't get enough of anymore is Competetive points. There are SO many heros and even with the Drives I rarely get more than 6k / 2 weapon skins per season which means I never unlock the yearly weapon variant for all my favorite characters.
So why not attach a little "Hey if you queue for this role/fill and win you get an extra 15 comp points, if you lose you get 5" (I am not married to these specific numbers).
For Drives you could even throw on top a little "If you queue for this role/fill you get the additional comp points but also if you win you get 30 extra Drive Score"
I do find it important to attach a greater reward for winning to incentivize people to not just throw to farm the additional reward. I am even open to making the additional reward exclusive to winning.
So got Darius in Mayhem got a pretty bad prismatic selection and figured I would go Fan The Hammer to insta use passive. Turns out that is not a thing... So where is the synergy with this Augment for Darius
Obviously this is probably not a real account and more a test realm account but still. Nothing stops you from giving the account 30+ progression on the characters.
Sadly I have a feeling he is gonna blabber about the past.
In Chapter 2 Oda talks about the Jolly Roger possibly going back to the term "Old Roger" refering to the Devil. This is obviously interesting since a major antagonist of One Piece is the Devil and he features a symbol with 2 crossed femur bones on his cape. Though it looks very minimalistic compared to actual Jolly Rogers.
There might be a parallel here where a possible origin of the Jolly Roger in the real world is a term for the Devil and in the One Piece world the origin of the Jolly Roger could possibly be a mark of the devil. It is possible that the Jolly Rogers of modern times are based on Imu's symbol (Could be a mockery of his symbol started by Joy Boy)
(This post is not saying Oda foreskinned the Devil being a main antagonist in Chapter 2)

(From my memory this is the same amount of quests as last weeks map)
Having the old veteran/mentor with the scar over the left eye, the black haired edgelord on a revenge quest for his dead clan, violent pink haired girl with green eyes and the main guy is a dreamer with blonde hair.
Obviously their characters are likely quite different and the inspiration is a bit more loose (Especially for the main character) from Team 7 but I couldn't help noticing the similar structure of the group.
Like the hair and "Snake Clan" being murdered and he seeks revenge feels so blatent that I can't help but feel like it's supposed to be a parody of the character archtype that Sasuke represents.
I think this is a great step though obtaining the "Tokyo Tiger" title is still quite the challenge for the employed players due to the expiration of the dailies and needing to play 6-7 (lol funny number amirite) on average to hit those 10 games.
So the arguement I have seen a lot is that these expensive skins help fund the game and let others play for free. I will point out a cautionary tale about this exact thought process and the monetization of League of Legends. A decent while ago now Riot Games introduced a Gacha systems where players could for 200+ Dollars (Or less if you are lucky obviously) get new high quality skins. These where purchased A LOT and you would see them in a lot of your games.
So surely this meant that the people who didn't spend a lot of money got to continue enjoying their game because the whales where giving Riot 200+ dollars for skins now right? Wrong. Riot did in fact get greedier and removed a lot of the ways people could obtain a good chunk of free skins by just playing the game. Even after being called out for this on every post they made on every social platform for a long time they only backtracked this halfway and today the amount of free or cheap cosmetics a player can earn is significantly reduced in comparison to before Riot introduced their whale gacha system.
But I have a feeling that this will either reach people who already agree with me or fall on deaf ears and the people that want to defend Blizzard's greed will continue to do so and just say "Why would you bring up Riot and League of Legends that has nothing to do with this game." "Who cares about LoL." or the classic "Just don't buy them" (not engaging with anything I said)
Why does Ordis think he is making the executive decisions now? When some eternalism/ Wally shenanigans pop off he's gotta tell the Operator and then the Operator decides if it's important enough to drop their current stuff. Not some "Yeah me and Umbra can handle this" bs.
Hunhow losing his memory will have dire consequences when we wanna go to Tau and when it does Ordis will have to put on his new thinking cap to figure out how to solve the issue or he is out.
Seriously just terrible Railjacks these 2 put together.
(Likely in a total amount of 36 games)
