Escapist Overwatch Group!

[ObsidianJones_v1legacy]

I mean, we have a lot of fans here. Do we want to add each other so we can always roll with competent people? Or at least have some good casual games or people to practice with?

I'll always add my Lucio to the mix if people are down.

If you are joining the group, please quote this original post and give your Overwatch name, your Location, and which characters you feel like you're going to main.

If you have a singular character that you feel is your main, he or she will be highlighted with a '*' at the beginning of the name.

I want to get Overwatch, but I don't want to play it on my own.

I'm TychoTheMad#1584 on americas, PC only. Haven't decided my mains yet during the beta I was a fan of Lucio, Bastion, Soldier 76 and D VA. Didn't get a chance to play everyone though so thats every open to change.

 

[WindKnight]

Sure, but I might not be in from day one. names the same

name is Windknight#2433

 

[ObsidianJones_v1legacy]

*raises hand* Count me in!
But, how about we also share our location?

I'm in Italy, for example. Wonder if there's world-servers? I don't think so...

You are wise as much as you are Wintery.

I live in New York, myself. If we North and South Americas players will have to be separate from our European Brothers and Sisters, we will do you all proud.

Sure, but I might not be in from day one. names the same

The Points all of you people are recalling.

Ok, from this point on, I'll going to go through the messages and update the first Post so people can cross check there and add people that will more than likely be able to join the same servers.

From this point on, please add your Overwatch Name, your Location, and your mains if you please. Quote the original post so I can easily see who is joining the Overwatch Group and I'll update you as soon as possible.

 

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

Tag, you're it.

Americas Server

Name: AegixDrakan
Location: Montreal, Canada (EST)

Mains: I'm best with McCree, Reinhart, Roadhog, and Lucio, although I plan to get decent with everyone (except maybe Torbjorn). I often tended to "Fill" in the beta, where I took a look at the team composition and tried to fill a role that no one seemed to want.

Style: I'm mostly looking to play casually, I might get into competitive eventually.

 

[Frankster]

snip

I won't be getting game immediately at launch (not least because I just bought Stellaris, that+xcom 2 is going to be taking up my time) but yeah I'd love to join a bunch of regulars for this game.

Server: Europe (but can't we change servers if need be? was that way in beta at least).
Location: UK
Name on blizzard thingy: LuckyPants

Mains: Pharah, Mercy, Torbjorn, Lucio. I am willing to play other characters if team needs a specific role.

Ok, Frankster and Aegix, you're updated.

Aegix, If you want to talk strats, we can do it here.

Heck, I guess that goes for all of us, doesn't it?

... I'm sorry. I have to do it.

"Look at this team, we're gonna do great."

 

[WindKnight]

Windknight

UK, I only got a couple of days play, but mainly used Mercy and D.va, though I try to adapt to what the team is carrying.

Really wanted to try Pharah, but the teams I got in filled up with offense fast.

 

[ObsidianJones_v1legacy]

-quoted for alert-

Updated with your info. I have no idea about character limits. This should be enough. How are you doing today?

 

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

Hey, how many of Ya'll are on Discord?

It would probably help keep us all organized, especially if we want to use voice chat.

Edit: If any of you have no idea what Discord is, it's a fantastic free voice chat app/site that's low-CPU usage and very freakin' crisp, while also allowing for groups and sub-groups and text chat as well.

 

[FillerDmon]

I don't know anything about the set up at the moment, but I haven't been so charmed by a demo since the Splatoon Global Testfire, and I'm about to stay up for 6 hours to play that. Count me in sometime after the initial launch date. I play Pharah, Solider.76, Bastion, Junk-Rat, Reinhart, Winston, Lucio, Mercy, and Symmestra. Or at least I enjoyed them the most during the demo. I do need to give everyone else longer tries than I had.

 

[ObsidianJones_v1legacy]

I wonder how many things I'm going to have to write so I am not going to get slack for low character count. Boo-yah.

You guys are updated. So there's that.

Already three people to play with on each server. That's half a team working together. This will be good.

 

[BloatedGuppy]

I'll throw my hat into the ring, on the understanding that I expect absolutely nothing to come of it and will be stunned to my core if I ever hear from any of you.

Location: Canada
Server: Americas
Battlenet Name: BloatedGuppy

I have no "mains" and consider myself equally terrible with everyone. There's a small handful of heroes I've either not tried, or did try and did absolutely woeful with, but I'm generally game to play whatever is needed.

 

[major_chaos]

snip

Not sure if anything will come of it but yall seem nice enough so:
heXagon15
Americas
Can do any role but my favs are Road hog, Junkrat, D.Va, Mercy, Lucio, and Phara.
Never used Discord but if people want to play I can learn.
Keep in mind that I work third shift so I'll generally be on either in the dead smack middle of the night on my days off or the asscrack of dawn on days I do work.

 

[BytByte]

BytByte

Name is BytByte like it is here.
American Servers
Main will probably be Zenyatta, but also like Symmetra, Mercy, Zarya and McCree

 

[Godzillarich(aka tf2godz)]

/

Americas Server

Name: GodzillaRich
Location: Pennsylvania

Mains: Junkrat but I can also use Roadhog if we need a tank.

Also you can make an overwatch group on the site if you really want to, that would probably make things easier for us.

Thanks for the tip, Godz. Once I can find the link to where I can start up the group, I'll set it up. But I'll also keep this going on here so people who haven't joined the group can check it out.

Also, I get everyone's wariness. But a lot of us love the game. The more people we get into this group, the more chances we'll have to find someone to roll with us when we play. Also with enough of us, we can actually run private games to iron out tactics or just get some fun casual play going on.

Hell, we can always talk shop here and get some type of cohesion going.

I mean, for one, I'm shocked of the variety of heroes people are running with. It's actually forcing me to want to learn Genji as I don't think I'll have enough to offer the team if I'm just running support all the time.

Other than design, what about the gameplay of your heroes draws you to them?

 

[Zhukov]

... please quote this original post and give your Overwatch name, your Location, and which characters you feel like you're going to name.

Ohh, ohhh, me, me! I'm in!

Battlenet Name: Zhukov (#1826)
Location: Australia
Server: Americas (strangely I was able to play there without any real lag. Certainly no more than the Asia servers. Dunno how that works but hopefully it holds up.)
Characters: Hell, I can play almost all of them. I'm competent with (deeep breath) Pharah, Tracer, Bastion, Mei, Torbjorn, DVa, Reinhardt, Roadhog, Zarya, Mercy and Symmetra. I can do Windowmaker, McCree, Soldier 76 and Lucio in a pinch. I'm confident I can get decent with Reaper, Genji and Zenyatta (didn't get around to them during beta). I'm utterly hopeless with Hanzo and Winston. EDIT: Oh, I see. Just put me down as "flex".

I'm happy to pick according to what a team needs, if only because I like winning.

I have a mic, I'm communicative and I'm polite, although not the chattiest fellow around.

... on the understanding that I expect absolutely nothing to come of it and will be stunned to my core if I ever hear from any of you.

Oh that's fucking it mate.

You do of course realise this means I now have to add you just to prove you wrong, right?

There's no better declaration of Love than doing things out of vengeful spite.

That's poetry, and I wholeheartedly accept it.

Added, by the way.
