It's here now yes.

It seems to me like the general quality of match is lower than it was in the beta; a lot of stomps, a lot of sniping.

Which is fair, I mean I'm playing on release.

I'm seeing a lot more lag on release. Not so much me, but other players.

Still fun, though.

Wolfeye, MaximumZero and me had a blast playing, we should try to get a 6 man team together.

If anyone has ever played chess, you know when you want to attack a piece but your opponent is covering it?  So you move your knight to threaten it more, and they stack up two rooks, and you get your queen in, and suddenly there's an arms buildup of 8 different pieces all aimed at one poor pawn.

That's pretty much Bastion in a nutshell.  They get a Widowmaker or a Genji aimed at your Bastion, so you put a Reinhart in front of him.  They start spamming fireballs through the shield so you get a healer on him.  They start harassing Bastion from a weird angle so you get another Reinhart on him.  Pretty soon the whole damn game is about him.

It only seems to last for a few minutes tho, and then an ult or something pushes him off and whatever choke Bastion was defending gets pushed past.  Bastion seems pretty worthless for "everyday" fighting against competent teams; definitely doesn't seem like a character you want for the entire game if your enemies are smart.

[Tnx]

Loved playing with you guys during that free beta.  I'll start playing tomorrow or Wednesday night.  I'm the guy who played reaper and roadhog constantly btw.  Also... Does anyone know if queuing up as a team is more likely to put you up agaisnt other teams?

[Tnx]

Yeah I don't voice chat too much when I played with them.  I feel like talking in FPS games makes me play badly.

[Cthulhu]

i really hope they change bastion at some point. he's pretty neat, but if they shifted his effectiveness from turret to scout just a tad, he'd be a lot more enjoyable.

He's been nerfed several times as is.  He used to have a personal shield on his forward face, no blue lamp, and some other stuff.  He's by far at his weakest right now.  I'm still of the opinion that bastion doesn't win, the other guy loses.

Just went ahead and bought this off the Blizzard storefront. They seemed to call it a pre-purchase, so don't know when it would let me try. So are the pre-purchase rules just made up and I can't play until tomorrow or something for doing that?

Prepurchase doesn't let you play early... Otherwise that would just be a purchase. Although there were some extra ingame goodies and 2 days extra to play the beta version for pre-purchasers.

[chaoticag]

Well, yeah, but the release date on the store said May 24th, and it should have hit midnight Pacific right about now. It's been May 24th here for 12 hours to boot.

[Cthulhu]

It's been out for almost 12 hours.

[King Kitteh]

I have no idea then. I can't really play anyway despite pre-purchasing cause my video card is busted.

Just wait for tomorrow I guess. It's been the 24th for 18 hours where I am.

Really. Well then.

Sorry to hear. Does kinda suck when you're waiting for a game to release and stuff like that happens.

And turns out battlenet needed an update. It just had to download 10 gigs of diablo III first though.
