no you dont earn anything from doing custom games, its just for fun. sorry i couldn't make it but had some fun on it doing online with a few of you. i still have a lot to learn about this game

GG's indeed. I'd like us all to stay in one channel on TS for the 'banter' and use in game comms for tacs.

That'd be my preference too.

After last night's chaos all I've got to say is Mei is Bae! :lmfao:

The problem with all being in one channel is the noise and cross chat which often drowns in-game tactics chat, so I'd be against that. It would simply mean leaving one or the other if that happened which defeats the purpose.

CSGO gets away with it just because not all are in ts and the larger team size limits cross chat.

I feel we lose some of the enjoyment by not getting the XP and drops. I wonder if we created two 6 man groups and started a quick play the 2 teams would eventually meet?

dMw v the World seemed popular in CSGO, so why not in Overwatch. We can always do both.

I agree about xp. It's great fun to play against other unlucky dmw souls but its a shame we dont get xp and unlock cool stuff.

I am also not sure about one TS channel, agree with Tealeaf, while it sounds fun to be all together and hear others raging but there is som much going on that the team communication would suffer.

is possible but very unlikely, if this did happen then it would be amazing and we would get a lot of exp for having fun. we will have to try it out tho and see what will happen one night.

i agree with tealeaf normally in CS:GO there is about 6 people in ts so it ain't that many you put 12 in one then you ain't going to be able to hear to much, with everyone talking and even raging you wont be able to hear your team and work together well.

Its a shame we dont get exp but like everyone says it a lot more fun killing your friends then random people ...... did that come out right ? if we got exp from doing custom matches then we would be high levels in one night and not many people would play public matches because with enough friends you could just do a custom with bots

Jewelz^ · May 26, 2016, 10:55:44 AM

XP is custom matches will never happen because people just abuse it. Same reason why we don't get XP for playing on Boomer in CS:GO :sad:

Re voice comms

We have tried all in 1 channel with similar games and tbh it just causes problems. You are right its a shame to lose the banter though. We could certainly have a trial game where we use in game comms for teams, just to see how it goes.

As for dmw v dmw or dmw v world, absolutely we will end up doing both! I wanted to set up a private custom first as I think it gives us a bit of a better set up to just test characters and explore the game as we can adjust match balance as necessary so no one is getting repeatedly hammered.

I will be back on tonight from 20:00 and running either another private custom or some matchmaking depending on numbers

Edit - actually tonight if we have 12 let's try going into matchmaking in 2 groups to see if it matches us up as Albert suggested!

Chaosphere · May 26, 2016, 09:57:47 PM

Update - voice comms are somewhat borked in custom games. Some rounds it works flawlessly, others it doesn't work for anyone. Seems from a quick interweb search that these are known bugs.

So I think for now we need to stick for TS channels for dmw V dmw customs.

However when playing in matchmaking we can have one big happy TS chat, as the voice comms DO work in matchmaking (so you can talk to team only in-game, and general chatter in TS).

People need to set different keys for TS and in-game push to talk though

Anyone for customs tonight? I'll be on from 20:00 :flirty:
