‘Overwatch’ Update: Blizzard Discusses The Possibility Of A Prime Social Feature [VIDEO]
Pia MerciBlizzard recognizes a main social feature for "Overwatch" that they might be finally working on. Concurrently, a new update is said to resolve one of the game's biggest issues.
Blizzard Addresses Clans & Groups for "Overwatch"
Clans and groups have always been some of the main features for multiplayer games. It makes it possible for players to organize and plan parties with friends or strangers without much inconvenience. It appears that fans of Blizzard's first-person shooter are now requesting for the said feature.
It seems that Jeff Kaplan, the game's director, have fortunately responded to the ongoing request. According to PVP Live, he claimed that the team would be excited to work on a similar system; however, though he might have just hinted at the idea, he just placed heavy emphasis on their excitement to work on the specific feature.
At present, players can merely use their friend list to form groups before starting a game. If Blizzard plans to actualize the said feature, then this would be another step in the right direction of making use of clans or guilds, just like on other games such as "Call of Duty," "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive," and "StarCraft II." More importantly, it would certainly help solo queue players find others to create a powerhouse team before even playing competitive matches.
Latest Patch Stops Cheaters & Guarantees Fair Play
In other news, Express reports that a new patch has eventually tackled the problem about the mass wave of cheaters and hackers. Starting in Feb. 17, players who have a valid game license can only access the game. This implies that those Korean players who depend on third-party programs to cheat in "Overwatch" will no longer be able to make use of that method.
Blizzard has confirmed that it will be introducing the new feature to "Overwatch" before implementing it to other games, such as "Diablo III" and "StarCraft II." Moreover, it asserted that this said method will help players enjoy the game without anything to worry about especially those "unintended side-effects." These adjustments are expected to keep the "integrity" of the game, as well as guarantee players of a fair-play experience.
