Find a group feature

Ok, so I've been on holiday in Malta the last 10 days, which means I've missed out on a large portion of event play time for the Underworld event. That means I have some serious grinding to do for achievements. I managed to complete every challenge except the legendary modifier one (so far, fingers crossed).

It's time like this when I really miss the find a group feature from overwatch 1. People who played the archives event on legendary mode know that the best chance you get at winning and earning the achievements is by searching specifically for a group, then using pre-designed tactics to make it though.

It's the only way I ever got those achievements, but since they've removed the find a group feature in Overwatch 2, they've somehow indirectly made these legendary missions even harder 🫠

Basically, F u Blizzard >:(

So, let me see if I've got this straight.

When Overwatch 2 launched last October, it was framed by Blizzard as a PvP-only early access preview of a game which would eventually include a substantial PvE campaign, to be added in a later patch.

Today, Blizzard's representatives admitted not only that the PvE campaign mode has been scrapped, but that the internal decision to do so was made in late 2021 – meaning they'd been knowingly lying about the game's planned feature set for nearly a year at the time of the October 2022 early access launch.

Is that about the size of it?

The Archives events Part 1 - Uprising

Uprising was the first achieves event introduced into Overwatch and was released in 2017. It was also a huge hit. It was introduced some four or five months before I started playing, but just reading through the comments and from my personal memories surrounding the event. I can say for certainty it was a hit.

I'll start it off small. they introduced a series of banger skins for this event, and until this day some of them are still my favourites.

Obviously, on top of the skins and the cosmetics, the mission was released.

This was the introduction video. Unlike the following two events, it didn't have an outro cutscene, just this short one at the start.

The uprising mission story itself, is simply stop a war before it begins. There's an null sector invasion in London that needs tackling before it progresses into something more, and Jack Morrison sends in a small strike team.

Their goal is to gain control of the large artillery guns scattered across kings row and take down their defences so Overwatch can move in and save some prisoners stuck in the factory, aka the final payload location.

There's also a lovely little pre-lude to the mission in the form of a comic. Said comic is also called Uprising and details the finer complications of Overwatch's actions in London.

It shows the complicated nature of the relations between Jack Morrison and Gabriel Reyes, and the strain Blackwatch was having.

It discusses the politics of Overwatch and highlights how much Overwatch was under fire at that point. It also gives us a look into Tracer and how she handled the start of her first mission as well.

Because, yes, this was Tracer's first ever field mission.

It also just gives us a nice little jewel, and shows us where Tracer got her "the cavalry's here" line.

All in all, the Uprising event was delivered with Grace, lore, cosmetics, and interactive and fun gameplay.

Overwatch 2 could never.

Overwatch Origin Stories Master-list

Links to the Youtube Origin stories in Chronological order of hero release <3

Most of the base Roster doesn't have an origin story, but there is this short for Roadhog and Junkrat:

It's not in the same format as the rest of the origin stories that follow, but it's the closest thing that resembles an origin story for them.

Soldier 76 is obviously one of the outliers of this standard (being Blizzards golden boy and all I suppose), and I'm fairly sure his was the first origin story put together in this format:

Another of these outliers is none other than the poster girl herself, which I guess makes sense:

That's all the base roster got, and the following origin stories all belong to heroes that we released after the release of the game.

First of, Ana came out in July of 2016:

Then followed Sombra in November of 2016:

Orisa in March of 2017:

Doomfist in July of 2017:

Moira in November of 2017:

Brigitte in March of 2018:

Wrecking Ball in July of 2018:

ITS THE SAME GUY OMG

(Winton has internet issues btw, that's what they're talking about because it made him leave. We still won though)!

This made me laugh 😂

For context the enemy team had a leaver and the 'ow no' happened when they got the first point.

They couldn't push the payload though 😂😂

Love a supportive team mate <3

Is Reaper a COVID baby because he was born in 2018, and (hypothetically if COVID happened in Overwatch Universe) would have been turning 2 during the lockdown? Like would he have been one of those toddlers that didn't develop proper social skills at nursery?

I think about this sometimes...

Here's a little comparison between D.Va's normal sound effects and Porsche D.Va's sound effects <3

The Porsche sound effects tickle my brain <3 (worth the money).
