Good when it's a choice.Had my WOW account hacked and lost tons of gold and all my high end loot before 2FA was even a thing so anytime I can I enable it
Dude if you lose your Blizzard password they ask you to scan your DRIVER'S LICENSE and email it to them, that's uncomfortable as fuck. Blizzard is used to being invasive and comfortable with making you feel uncomfortable.Was excited until I knew the mandatory phone number requirement...

Mandatory? Yes, it is, it's one of the most annoying UX stuff I can think of... I decided to go without 2FA on Uplay because no matter it never let me login unless I deactivated it... I also lost a phone number once I got robbed and had to go though any service using it to try and change it or just remove by customer service the 2FA, it was a hell, let people decide if they want it. Also even if it wasn't this annoying and if privacy is already just a myth of the past, it's just too uncomfortable that they demand such a personal information to... just play a game? LMAO... I'll pass, feel lucky to never had any issues with 2FA, I'll only use it for very VERY delicate stuff like work and maybe something else not related to my enjoyment (maybe).ya 2fa is bad
It is not sarcasm, it should be optional, not mandatory, reasons above ^^^^This screams sarcasm, if not then I feel sorry for you.
Out of all the serious issues affecting your privacy that the government has done you’ve decided to draw the line on this one.

You didn't post any valid reasons. Just idiotic paranoid crap. No one hacks your Uplay account because you're the only person who wants a Uplay account.Mandatory?

Give it a week then it returns to the Abyss together with overwatch 1.Let's all hope it fails BAD.
Honestly, Overwatch 1 deserved better.Give it a week then it returns to the Abyss together with overwatch 1.
His concerns are justified regardless of previous transgressions from others. If this exposes privacy issues to the masses, that's a win in my book.This screams sarcasm, if not then I feel sorry for you.

Not only that, it's annoying of I change my phone number and waaaaaay more insecure if it was because my phone was stolen as it happened to me or in the wrong hands, 2FA is something we should use very carefully if everHis concerns are justified regardless of previous transgressions from others.

Blizzard: what monetisation man, what are you talking about?Played the first game for a very long time. Had a blast actually but I really do not have a clue what to expect from OW2. F2P could be a great thing for the player base but it could also be a bad thing for the density of monetization elements. New hero designs seem cool but some of them look a bit worse than the initial concept imo. So before reading lots of bad reviews, I'll just give it a try and see it for myself.
I think you can starting tomorrow 12PM EST, game launches at 3 PM EST.I hate I can't pre download this.
Like mandatory phone number so if you get banned you can't just make another account...Reason I play more OW than Paladins lately is the community is generally better. But F2P invites all sorts of trolls, I hope there's a decent system to counter that.
I’m excited to get into a new multiplayer. I’m sure it’ll do insane numbers streaming wise and what not. I think the excitement is low because it’s being rolled out like an update more than a sequel.I being completely honest when I ask this: are any of you actually excited for it? No one I know has any interest in it, most didn't know it was coming at all. Am I just overlooking where the interest is or has Overwatch fallen off the radar that much?
Can do you one better. Blizzard won’t accept my phone number, because my carrier (Cricket Wireless) has pre-pay plans. Contacted support, and they…just don’t care enough to let me play their f2p game, which I had been playing for the better part of the past 5 years.Was excited until I knew the mandatory phone number requirement...

I would they had just charged full price and then provided missions or weeklies/dailies to unlock skins and other cosmetics.
If they can't be profitable by selling a full priced game like everyone else then that is their problem in my opinion.Overwatch was one of the few completely fair with games with unlocks which probably means that isn't profitable considering the direction the sequel is taking.

Well yeah, but they will learn pretty quick about that mistake I think after the intial rush dies down.Considering they shut the original game down and to continue your Overwatch journey you'll need to go to their F2P monetization scheme, I'd say it's our problem too.

I mean, sure my case is annoying enough but knowing of new creative ways 2FA just mess up other people experiences surely makes me feel worse about the thing...Can do you one better.

Can't you just buy prepaid numbers for like 3.50€ etc?Like mandatory phone number so if you get banned you can't just make another account...
I would think Overwatch was plenty profitable, and the reason for the switch to free to play is that they don't want to make an actual sequel, and not many people would pay even more money for this.Overwatch was one of the few completely fair with games with unlocks which probably means that isn't profitable considering the direction the sequel is taking.
Wait they killed the first one without the second one being fully done?
Is this for real?
I honestly can’t think of anything that number 1’s has that the pvp launch of 2 doesn’t. The only thing not done in 2 is the PVE campaign that OW1 never had. (And yes if you want to be picky you can say 6v6 and two point CP mode and maps)Wait they killed the first one without the second one being fully done?
Is this for real?
It's really not that much of a sequel. It's just a very large patch for OW1. There's plenty of multiplayer games with far greater overhauls than this one without having it numbered as a sequel.Wait they killed the first one without the second one being fully done?
Is this for real?
Haha yea that's ridiculous. I lost my Blizzard credentials that had my Diablo 3 game on it. A few years later I create a new account, and ask Blizzard if there's any way they could transfer my game over from my lost account. They asked me to photograph my drivers license and send it to them. Obviously I didn' t do that, and never was able to get my Diablo 3 back. I have the physical PC versionDude if you lose your Blizzard password they ask you to scan your DRIVER'S LICENSE and email it to them, that's uncomfortable as fuck. Blizzard is used to being invasive and comfortable with making you feel uncomfortable.
That is what I am also afraid of the most, but there is a slight chance that my PC won't be able to run the game properly, so maybe the fate will save me from this game.This game will fail massively.
I'm calling it.
This will be a mess.
- It's free to play meaning it will have a ton of microtransactions. (Diablo Immortal anyone?)
- The entire roster are rebalanced, and Overwatch 1 is already notoriously known for having terrible balancing. (They recently stated that their balancing is indeed biased.)
I’ve honestly stopped trying to argue this with people on the net. The people fearing doom and gloom about the battle pass stuff and microtransactions are literally bitching about the Barbie dress up shit. The actual gameplay is what carried the original to the moon and that is there for all to enjoy completely free of charge now.I dont get the hate, you are just getting extra stuff for no added cost.
Its Free2play with some extra skins. Its not like they are selling game breaking OP perks.

I played the game for years and had fun with the basic gameplay loop and what kept me coming back was the feeling the game gave me when matches were competitively fun along with new maps and heroes sprinkled in throughout the year, the events, and sometimes the earned cosmetics were a carrot on a stick. Ironically, I stopped playing OW1 when the characters, maps, updates came to a screeching halt and all the cosmetic BS was the only thing they were giving us with event repeats. The new seasons are a literal guarantee that all the aspects I loved will continue for years to come. That is a huge win for me. The promise of a full fledged campaign, that I likely know I will have to fork over some money for, is fine by me.
