I’M GOING MATPAT MODE.
I don’t know how Winston would know Jack is alive. We never saw Cassidy get the news about Jack, but it’s obvious how he knows. I presume that Winston doesn’t know, and Cassidy throws the idea of finding Jack up in the air before realizing that it wouldn’t even be worth trying.
It would explain the cutscenes we saw in Blizzcon 2021 where Winston looks shocked as Lena pouts at him, and Lena leaves the dropship looking depressed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, bear with me as I push my “Gay Dad & Lesbian Daughter” propaganda. We see time and time again that Ana has tried to convince Jack to stop his one-man army shenanigans. I believe that Lena will ask Cassidy to help her track down Jack and Ana despite the advice he gave Winston. In the Uprising comic, we see Ana tries to pull Jack in one direction.
Tumblr media
It isn’t until Lena talks with Jack that he’s finally convinced that he should go against the prime minister and Director Petras’ word. I want to believe that Lena will be the driving force that brings Jack back to Overwatch, as well. She is very persuasive, after all.
Tumblr media
Now, the only issue here is that we don’t know who Jack and Ana are going to meet in Istanbul, and that short story can really make or break this theory of mine.
We know Cassidy has been tracked down by Talon. We know Akande asked Gabriel if Jack and Ana are dead yet. Imagine if Cassidy goes to Necropolis, one of Ana’s many hideouts, with Lena and is surprised to see she’s actually there. Cassidy meets Jack face-to-face for the first time, as does Lena, and they both make fun of his new beard... along with the cot, the single dumbbell, the whiskey, and the newspaper. (”Damn, bitch, you live like this?”) Then, Talon strikes! Cassidy and Lena were followed, and the four heroes must fight their way out of that mess. The mentors and the mentees! The parents and the kids! Once all is said and done, there would be a scene where Ana says that, with another one of her hideouts compromised, she’s done running. Jack would admit he’s impressed by how Cassidy and Lena handled themselves (while also throwing in a joke about how they both have a lot to learn, his tough guy exterior slipping away as it did in Bastet) before ultimately deciding to join the new blood of Overwatch.
Now, if I stop inhaling my copium, what will probably actually happen is that Jack will continue working with Ana from the shadows. I think the Overwatch 2 Release Date Reveal trailer opening with Lena walking in front of a statue of Mondatta in the sun only to show Jack perched up in front of Maximilien’s casino at night is no coincidence. It shows what the both of them are fighting for and highlights more of their parallels... but I can dream, okay?

Your thoughts on pve and creators retconing some lore?
Do you think they will push more pharmercy and debunk gency??
Also, these negative reviews on game
and here I thought pve would help regain OW its former glory
How wrong I was
I mean I was kind of answering questions like this all day yesterday, and it's honestly fucking exhausting, but to recap:
-This is lore that basically makes the assumption of, "Everyone getting into this PvE has the attention span and narrative intelligence of a gnat and also no one was paying attention to any of the lore prior to 2021." Sure, you did have some call-outs, like I loved that Iggy had an appearance and voice in the Underground Event Mission, but they made Rein a calloused and surprisingly anti-omnic moron when that characterization really wasn't there before. Like... this was one of his big promotional images back when the game first came out!!!
Tumblr media
He's literally protecting an omnic!!
The Rio mission was spectacular, and honestly makes the Toronto and Gothenburg missions look noticeably less polished by comparison, but if memory serves, the Rio mission was the only one they were allowing players to play at Blizzcon way back so... >.>
-I think they'll push PM more and more because they recognize that's the bigger ship and they don't want to risk alienating whatever players they have left, but they'll likely take their sweet time actually confirming it to drag out in-fandom arguments and by extension keep word-of-mouth up.
-As far as the Steam negative reviews go, I mean, I think that was kind of a given, especially since that's literally TF2's turf and a lot of the fandom for that has been pretty hostile to Overwatch's general existence for years, and now it's crawling onto Steam with all of its ridiculous in-app purchases. It's doubtful that a lot, if not most of the reviewers have even played it, but honestly, given all of Blizzard's practices and broken promises, it's not undeserved.
-Like, again, I have to emphasize that because what we have for a PvE is clearly such a stepped down dialed back version of what was initially promised, what was initially pitched as the reason for OW2's relaunch, and because we had to pay for it in a game that billed itself (ha) as "Free to Play" I don't think even John Cena could have brought the hype up after years of disappointment and breadcrumbs. Especially when they're charging money for the very thing--or what would have been the very thing--that called for all this overhaul to the game. I never really had any notions of Overwatch regaining its former glory. Also there's the fact that what little PvE there is was introduced nearly a year after OW2's launch! Like! You're literally doing an anniversary event in the same season as the PvE!!

Hello!
(If you're on desktop, you'll find links to my tags for fanfic, art and rambling on the left side. Click on the 4 small squares and you'll get the links.)
I'm OldGodLover (or OGL) and I'm a writer in the World of Warcraft fandom.
Big fan of the Old Gods, I think I've been corrupted and I don't plan on changing that any time soon. You'll quickly notice that I'm in denial about the end of Ny'alotha...
You can find me on AO3 with the same pseud.
I currently have five fics on it.
A small, small God, in a big, big world
On-going fic. Rated M for violence, murders, sexual theme.
N'zoth took over a dead body before his death in Ny'alotha and is stuck playing the mortal until he can find a better way to leave. Unfortunately, it's not as easy as he thought. Being a mortal when you were a God is an entirely different world.
(50 chapters +)
N'zoth Whumptober 2021
N'zoth Whumptober 2022
N'zoth Whumptober 2023
Complete works. Rated M for whump.
Just me completing the Whumptober challenge of each years by using the characters of Small God.
"The Old Gods are dead"
One-shot. Rated T.
Inspired by the announcement of "The War Within" from the Blizzcon 2023. It's a story where N'zoth (who had survived by taking over a mortal body) meets with Xal'atath at the beginning of TWW.
Thanks for reading, I hope to see you soon and don't hesitate to come ramble about the Old Gods in my ask box!

ORIGINAL POST CAN BE FOUND ON TWITTER HERE
Back to my roots... with another Kakyoin. I drew this for my Jojo rewatch and after rereading one of my favourite fics with a friend!
I'm still really happy with this art. I think comparing this to my other Jojo fanart you can see the improvement I made in such a short amount of time. I'm really happy with the colours in particular :^)
This is Kakyoin at Bl*zzC*n, based on the fanfic JoJo's Heated Gaming Moments: Dorito Dust Crusaders, which can be read here. You can also follow the author @transhitman!!

Media description under the cut. Please do not repost or edit my art.
[Media Description:
This post features fanart for the anime and manga series, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
The image is a digital drawing of Kakyoin Noriaki. He is wearing a pale blue-green button-down shirt with short sleeves and cherries printed on it, as well as dark sunglasses covering thin scars over his eyes. On his lips he is wearing dark purple lipstick. He sits next to a microphone at a table, with the logo for BlizzCon just out of focus.

Why You Should Consider Buying Diablo 4: A Comprehensive Look at its Aspects
Introduction
Diablo 4 is one of the most anticipated games of 2021. As a gamer, you have probably heard of the game and might be wondering what makes it so special. In this article, we will take a comprehensive look at the different aspects of Diablo 4 and why it is a game worth buying.
The Storyline
The storyline is one of the most important aspects of any game. In Diablo 4, the storyline is set in a world of evil where the player is tasked with saving humanity from the wrath of the dark forces. The game's storyline takes players through different levels and stages, each with its unique challenges. The storyline is engaging and keeps the player on the edge of their seat, making it hard to put the game down.
According to Gamespot, "The game story is dark, and it isn't afraid to take its time to explore its themes, with many well-written characters with personal motivations for the player to interact with."
The Graphics
The graphics in Diablo 4 are exceptional and will leave you in awe. The game's developers have taken their time to ensure that every detail is perfect. The graphics are smooth, detailed, and give a lifelike feel to the game. The game's weather effects add to its visual appeal and make it feel even more realistic.
GamesRadar says, "The game looks like a painting come to life, with intricate details and dynamic environments that are visually stunning. The game's graphics are not just impressive but add to the immersive experience of the game."
The Multiplayer Mode
The multiplayer mode in Diablo 4 is a game-changer. Players can join forces and build teams to conquer the challenges that lie ahead. The multiplayer mode makes the game more exciting and engaging as gamers can now play with their friends and other players from all over the world.
As PC Gamer puts it, "The multiplayer mode in Diablo 4 feels like a whole new game. Players can join forces and create teams, allowing players to easily share loot, skill, and strategy. The multiplayer mode makes the game more exciting and engaging than ever before."
The Game Crafting and Customization
The game now includes crafting as one of its new features. Crafting in Diablo 4 allows players to make unique items and weapons to assist them on their quests. Additionally, players can also customize their characters and equipment to suit their gameplay style.
As IGN puts it, "Crafting in Diablo 4 offers a whole new level of gaming experience. Crafting unique items adds to the fun, excitement, and uniqueness of the game. With the ability to customize your equipment and strategy, the game is vastly more immersive than its predecessors."
Conclusion
Diablo 4 is an exceptional game worth buying. Its storyline, graphics, multiplayer mode, and crafting add to the game's excitement, immersion, and overall experience. If you are a gamer looking for the next big thing, Diablo 4 should be at the top of your list.

This means fans will have to wait a little longer before they can get their hands on the game. However, Blizzard has also emphasized that they are committed to delivering a high-quality game, so the delay is understandable.
Platforms
Diablo 4 will be available on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. However, Blizzard has also confirmed that Diablo 4 will be playable on the next-gen consoles Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. This means that players who purchase the game on current-gen consoles will be able to upgrade to the next-gen version for free.

BlizzCon 2023 takes place in person in November
This BlizzCon will be the first held in person in four years. The 2020 and 2021 in-person events were canceled because of the covid pandemic, and while the company did host a 2021 virtual event, an online 2022 event was canceled after allegations came to light about sexual harassment and discrimination at the company.

When does diablo 4 come out
Tumblr media
When does diablo 4 come out full#
When does diablo 4 come out series#
When does diablo 4 come out windows#
When Microsoft acquired Blizzard, there were some initial concerns that Diablo 4 wouldn’t be available on Sony consoles.
When does diablo 4 come out series#
Since then, the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S have launched and been added to Diablo 4’s platform list. What are the Diablo 4 platforms?īlizzard confirmed that Diablo 4 is coming to PC, as well as both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles, during its BlizzCon 2019 announcement. For now, we can watch and watch again the Blizzcon Diablo 4 trailer and hope for the best.Fan-favorite class the Necromancer returns to command the dead in Diablo 4. Blizzard hasn’t told us anything in 2021, and we still remember the unsatisfactory reactions to their mobile project Diablo Immortal. In addition, we still question the new gameplay features.
When does diablo 4 come out full#
The developers will not stand the increasing pressure and release the game unfinished and full of bugs. Conclusionsĭiablo 4 Blizzard risks being another Cyberpunk. The recommended system requirements will show the optimal configuration for supporting the maximal graphic quality.
Video memory: AMD Radeon R7 360X or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti minimally or AMD Radeon RX 580 8 GB or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 is a recommended video adapter.
Chipset: Intel Core i3-560 3.3GHz / AMD Phenom II X4 805 for minimal configuration and Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz / AMD FX-8370 for the recommended configuration.
When does diablo 4 come out windows#
Platform: Windows (7, 10, 11), PlayStation (4,5), Xbox (Series One).The system requirements can be altered in the future, but here is what is clear for now concerning the Diablo 4 system requirements: What Are The Possible System Requirements?įor an AAA project, Diablo 4 will not be a very demanding game. The video tells about combat improvements and some graphic effects (lightning, blood on characters, etc.). In the video that accompanies the developers’ report, new Diablo 4 classes were announced and shown. The other Diablo 4 news concern the new characters. The system of Physically Based Rendering models will be applied to manage the light and reflection from all surfaces. They added animations to the area attacks. As for the graphics, the developers concentrated on the fighting system.What is more, if a player gets a boost for a perk they haven’t unlocked yet, they get access to it automatically until the booster is gone. The Diablo 4 gameplay will be boosted with the perks that enforce the main talents of each character.It is a table of perks, where each character opens definite magical, physical, or rare traits. A table of improvements is available for each character, starting from level 50.Table of improvements is an answer to players’ cl aims about concentration on items. The last one came out in December 2021, It concerned the graphics and the changes in the leveling system. Developers issue a report every three months. What’s New in The Gameplay?ĭespite the bad news, we still can watch how Diablo 4 will look and feel. The same can be said about the Diablo 4 pre-order start. So, everything that is definitely clear is that the Diablo 4 release date will not be in 2022. Add here the latest collapse in the company caused by Jen O’Neal leaving the head position. Blizzard wanted to maintain both of their upcoming projects, Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2. Axios journalist Stephen Tolio tweeted that the developer postponed the release date for an undefined term. The situation with the release date is still unclear. Since Blizzcon 2019, when the Diablo 4 announcement shocked the public, three years passed. In this post, you will learn the latest news about the Diablo 4 release date, the game content you can examine right now, and the possible system requirements. Though Blizzard runs more successful game franchises, like WoW or Overwatch, Diablo remains the most iconic game for all games that started in the late 90s. A big share of the concerns, maybe, the most wanted game, Diablo 4. Despite the latest harassment scandals in Activision Blizzard company, which promoted Microsoft to buy the company, Blizzard games remain one of the most popular aims for wool-gathering and theories.

BlizzCon returns in 2023
Tumblr media
BlizzCon 2023 will take place face-to-face at the Anaheim Convention Center, but this year the Blizzcon event will not happen again. BlizzCon 2023 will take place face to face, not as an online event. At least that's how the plans are. BlizzConline 2022 was canceled at the end of last year, and instead (for the announcement of a new add-on package for World of Warcraft) a short online Twitch broadcast was held in February. BlizzCon, one of the most important traditions of the Blizzard community, will pass this year and take place face to face next year.
BlizzCon 2023 will be the first BlizzCon to take place face-to-face in the wake of the pandemic
Due to the combination of allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination within the company that Blizzard faced last year and the worldwide Covid pandemic, Blizzcon 2022 was completely canceled. Blizzcon 2020 was cancelled and merged with Blizzconline 2021, which was held in February 2021. Blizzard CEO Mike Ybarra used the following statements about the issue in an interview with the Los Angeles Times: "We have said that we have canceled Blizzcon for now and want to perform it in a renewed way at a face-to-face event in the future. We have identified a new leader for BlizzCon, April McKee, who continues to work hard within the plans. We are committed to bringing BlizzCon back in 2023." Blizzard, which will also not participate in Gamescom 2022, which will take place this year, seems to be waiting for the end of 2023 for major announcements. Dragonflight, the new add-on package for World of Warcraft, is expected to be released before the end of this year, while Overwatch 2 will be released on October 4, 2022. Read the full article
