‘Overwatch’ Gameplay News: Blizzard Fixes Competitive Mode; Company To Sue Cheat Makers
Shilpa ChakravortyAlthough "Overwatch" has launched its competitive mode last week, certain bugs have kept gamers disturbed, and the prevailing grievance is about the disconnection penalties.
Notably, "Overwatch" penalizes characters that disconnect from a game to combat quitters. However, that might change considering Blizzard's latest endeavor to fix competitive mode punishments, reported Forbes.
According to reports, players will apparently still be penalized, which means their games could be marked as a loss, even when they win. However, game director Jeff Kaplan mentioned that they are aware of the problem and working on it.
"We have some fixes coming (hopefully) next week," he wrote on the game forum on Saturday.
Incidentally, large scale match made play could come with its own set of challenges, and it becomes tough to distinguish quitting from connection problems. Thus, it might become a bit tough for the "Overwatch" team to segregate the two and work on it.
In other news, it has been reported that Blizzard Entertainment will be suing makers of several video game cheats for copyright infringement and unfair competition, reported PC Mag.
"Blizzard's business depends upon its games being enjoyable and fair for players of all skill levels, and Blizzard expends an enormous amount of time and money to ensure that this is the case," the company said in a lawsuit filed in California.
"The Bossland Hacks destroy the integrity of the Blizzard Games, thereby alienating and frustrating legitimate players and diverting revenue from Blizzard to [Bossland]."
Notably, Bossland Hacks, the German cheat creators for "Overwatch," have also created hacks for several other games like "World of Warcraft," "Diablo 3," and "Heroes of the Storm."
For "Overwatch," Bossland offers four "bot" programs, namely HonorBuddy, StormBuddy, DemonBuddy, and HearthBuddy, which enable users to automate gameplay and manipulate titles.
Bossland has retorted this week, writing in a blog post, "none of that [claims in the lawsuit] is true and all of that is very vague, perfectly made for the court to believe."
