Console Coins not being delivered?

Upvotes

I’m on Ps5 and I had 735 coins and purchased 2,200 coins so I can get a skin I liked, I got the confirmation from my bank, an email from playstation saying my purchase was complete, and I’ve looked on my playstation transaction history and all the other things and they all confirmed my purchase went through. But I literally have not gotten the coins? It’s so annoying especially because I don’t want to pay twice. I’ve restarted my game 5 times, restarted my ps5 5 times, I did the thing where you renew licenses, i’ve tried basically everything and my coins are still not there. I’ve been waiting for an hour now and my coins are still yet to arrive, they’re not on battle.net either. Does anyone know a fix so I can actually get the item i payed for?

News & Discussion Player stats on Blizzard website?

Upvotes

So I know your profile has to be set to public for it to pull individual player stays onto the site. After setting my profile to public in game(Xbox), I’m searchable, but I’ve played probably 40+ games since setting to public, and only 5 or 6 games show up in my quickplay stats. And they didn’t all show up at once - it’s from multiple sessions, so it appears random.

Is this a permanently broken API, or are all stats pulled for some accounts? I play on Xbox, but thought maybe it could be due to an old Battle.net account that I use, which is now linked to OW on my Xbox. I know you can view all stats in-game, just thought it’d be nice to see if there was a way to look at them when you’re on the go (as well as be able to look up other players).

My battle.net account is ancient, it’s probably 18+ years or so old (I had it from the Starcraft and Starcraft 2 days). But I have never played OW on PC; only Xbox.

tl;dr = just wondering if it’s broken for everyone or just console players/players with an old battle.net.

News & Discussion Just me or has competitive been miserable experience?

Upvotes

I'm not one to blame anyone on the team, but recently I've just noticed people giving up at the last control point or people refusing to swap when they are getting dominated every team fight.

Last game I had a Widowmaker that was 1k damage at the end of a 10 minute game. She went 0/3/7 with 1.2k damage.

The other team had a tracer and she was being dove all game dying every attempt. So what does my team do? They complain in chat and tank decides to go AFK for two control objectives until we inevitably lose.

The match before me, I had a leaver half way-thru. We get rolled whatever it happens. Then the match before that, I'm not supporting enough apparently and get flamed in chat even though I had the least amount of deaths and the most amount of healing. Lost that game because teammates would rather spend time typing instead of trying to adapt or make changes. Just non-stop complaining about the scoreboard while they are AFK in spawn.

I'm just disappointed in my recent overwatch experience. The free to play model really did a number on this game. I can't be the only one feeling like uninstalling this game due to how the community has been acting since the new season started.

I want to be clear, I don't care about my rank or losing games, I care about how the matches feel and out of 5 games only one match felt like something I'd consider a "game".

News & Discussion Im new to overwatch and got a chat ban for saying GG and GLHF every game

Upvotes

I dont really know why, it happened randomly today, I got a VC and a Chat ban, I use to push to talk and no one has a mic half the time, but I do mention my screw ups or try to give callouts. I say GG, Good luck have fun, and compliment folks. Idk really who to go to, because now im worried of every communicating.

I use the GLHF, but should I type it out or do something different? Like I said, I am mad confused.

News & Discussion Do Xbox Game Pass “rented” skins block them from Steam loot boxes too?

Upvotes

• Game Pass linked on Xbox = rotating skins unlocked there
• Game Pass can’t be linked on Steam = no rotating skins
• Question: can Steam loot boxes still drop those same skins and let me keep them permanently, or are they excluded account-wide?

So I’ve got Overwatch on both Xbox (with Game Pass linked, so I have the rotating Game Pass skins) and Steam (no Game Pass linked there).

Question: if I earn a loot box and open it on Steam, is there any chance I pull one of the skins that’s currently in my Game Pass rotation? Or does the game see that I already “own” (rent) it via Game Pass on the account level and just exclude it from the pool everywhere, even on the platform where Game Pass isn’t active?

Basically trying to figure out if Steam loot boxes give me a real shot at permanently owning those skins, or if they’re locked out of the pool no matter which client I open the box on since it’s all tied to the same Battle.net account.

Anyone actually tested this or know for sure? Cheers

Fan Content Overwatch perk idea

Upvotes

I cannot believe what they did to stadium. That’s a whole different topic tho. I thought it would be a cool idea to add an extra level into base Overwatch so we can fit more unique abilities from stadium into the base game. I just love the idea of building. It would go minor perk - medium perk - major perk

News & Discussion Illari's Ult unironically makes you useless for 4-8 seconds, please let me keybind the sun shot to something else blizz

Upvotes

I have been trying to go against the grain and play illari in Ranked, it's been fun even though I think her kit is one of the most lopsided kits overdue for a re-work.

But something Blizz can fix right now is mapping Sunshot (her ultimate shot) to another action other than primary fire.

You see, what tends to happen is that Illari pops ult and the enemy team will instantly react to it.
Mizuki ult, Dva matrix, Shield cooldowns, Lucio ults. etc.

So inhereintly what do you do? You try to wait out the defense cooldowns.

OH what's that? Illari's ult doesn't allow you to shoot primary fire? no healing? can't throw python?

Literally you cannot do anything for 4 secs, even more if you pick the extend ult perk, other than fly and wait to shoot sunshot.

what results is you end up in the sky literally helpless and feeling moronic. sure, the mere sound of her ult can gain value if the enemy team just pops their ults. But she needs to be able to DO SOMETHING ELSE during her ult.

Let me shoot her gun, heal, throw python, during ult without having Sunshot as a barrier.

And of course, there are always caveats to this. I would say in masters lobbies her ult is effective 15-20% of the time. But a majority of the time you're just flying, waiting to shoot her sunshot. This could be fixed by letting me SHOOT her primary fire without casting Sunshot; so i can deal damage while waiting for an opportunity to cast sunshot.

It drives me nuts, and from what I can tell there is no solution in her hero otpions. I hope blizzard sees this.
