Board 8 > Overwatch Halloween 2018 event is live now

(+) Yeah! (+)

A lot of good skins this time around, but 3 years and still nothing for Lucio, Genji, D.Va, Tracer and my man Winston. Being a gorilla is suffering

I just realized that Hanzo is the only character I never got a legendary skin for (also Wrecking Ball, but since he's new I don't think that counts.) I'm still using his zombie skin from last year.

I never use Hanzo so it doesn't matter, but it's weird how it works out like that.
---

I haven't beaten vanilla JR, only endless

its the only event I haven't beaten (on legendary anyways)

it is time
---

I've used Zarya for less than a minute in total

thats it

I have at least 5 legendary skins for her
---

Sombra is indeed the new bride

I remember people claiming it was Moira

good for Roadhog
---

Brig has a stun Highlight intro now

of course
---

At least Winston got an intro. Also the Torbjorn rework is live too.

I got some endorsement loot boxes that counted as Halloween loot boxes so I already have Pumpkin Mei and Spider Widow. Neato

Oh man the torb rework.

He was very valuable because of his armor pickups, you could actually just stash them in the corner and everyone could just go and grab one when they need one and you could have like 15 out at a time. This event is going to be a whole lot harder without that ability
---

Holy shit, new torbjorn absolutely destroys Junkenstein's Revenge. Laughed out loud when I realized I could launch his molten core on top of junkenstein's little platform where he wouldn't be able to move away from it

Witch mercy and squid Zen funko pops are available

It was only Normal mode, but XFD my turret didnt even take 1 damage because I threw it up on the wooden sniper perch

Oh, Wrecking Ball can now sing karaoke in Busan. I got him in Mystery Heroes and noticed. Pretty cool.
---

I beat Junkenstein Endless on Normal. Good god Torb is a beast in it. I got 187,000+ damage :o

I'm on my break

I thought there was gonna be a new mode

revolving around the Chateau and the bride

unless I'm just missing it right now
---

Chateau got a Halloween makeover is all. You can check it out in FFA

oh hey brig is selectable in Endless

You gotta jump off from the other elevated area near the door and look high up. The one to the right of where you start where you can walk up the tiny ramp. If you walk up that and then get as close to the edge of it as you can towards the door and perch you can run/jump off it and throw your turret up to the perch.

Just need 1 epic skin and 4 legendary skins to be done already. Its nice having more new dialogue in Junkenstein mode, but dear god you might as well abandon ship if your 3 team members pick Genji, Tracer and Widow/Brigitte on anything other than Normal. They really need an All Heroes mode for this event because it would be so fun to play as Reinhardt or D.Va or something.

I didn't realize they added more Heroes in the normal version. Well, it's the same Heroes that were in the endless mode, but still
---

XFD if you die in Pharahs Enchanted Armor skin the armor falls to the ground in pieces. Nice detail!

as nice as those skins are I REALLY wish we'd get a new Halloween event that wasn't just Junkensteins.Revenge for the 3rd year

SEE? This makes it look like theres a new event at the house

I have 133 unopened loot boxes because there hasn't been anything I wanted for awhile

holy shit, that sounds so satisfying

I should start saving mine too
---

There are All Heroes no cooldowns etc Custom Games of Junkenstein. D.Va is so fun in that because constant explosions.

alright, I beat Hard mode without getting a scratch

now I need to do JR on Legendary

but yea, should be easier now that Torb and Zen are selectable in the regular version

I just took a look and apparently you can actually choose in what order you open your loot boxes, as long as they're different kinds

like, I have 90 normal ones, 40 summer, 2 gold ones, and now a few halloween ones

I can just skip to the Halloween ones if I want

I thought you just had to open ALL of them in order

If you walk up that and then get as close to the edge of it as you can towards the door and perch you can run/jump off it and throw your turret up to the perch.

I've mastered this

I can do it 9 times out of ten now

what sucks is if you miss, the turret can't be replaced if its shooting

and even then once its not, you still have to wait a solid 3 or so seconds before it allows you to throw another, but you usually don't have that much down time in Junkenstein. It can potentially be stuck in that weird corner on the ground until its destroyed

with that said, alot of people don't know Torb got a rework

they're like "HOW DID THE TURRET GET UP THERE?!"

and I just tell them Torb can wallclimb now
---

beat Junkenstein on Legendary on my first try just now

One of three things is happening. Actually maybe its all 3

Regular JR was not balanced to accommodate Torb and Zen now, its still acting like you have Soldier, Ana, Genji, and Hanzo

Endless is just simply way harder (it took me a week and a half to beat Endless) in RESPONSE to being able to select more heroes

or yea, Torb is just broken now (at least in this event against the mooks, not normally)

I thought it was gonna take me all week to do this lol
---

Im almost thinking of buying the last few skins I need because I literally cant stand to play this game solo anymore and FFA barely gives any exp. Junkenstein gets boring after a bit. Im just so sick of trying to play regular matches and going on 2 hour losing streaks because I get paired with people who make Bronze look like the 5 best players in the world. It shouldnt even be possible to lose 2 hours worth of matches in a row. Why am I stuck with 5 fucking dps and getting gold damage without using Ults as Zarya and D.Va? Why cant I ever be paired with anybody who has even the slightest game sense when I play alone. Its ridiculous :/

Playing Junkenstein endless with Torb never gets old, its so therapeutic ulting and catching 8 bosses in ur goo, my dude
---

I've been helping people do the No scratch door challenge and the Legendary Run too (though not on Endless, I'm never doing that again)

its been fun

I should get my comp placements out of the way since its during an event right now
---

Endless Hard with 0 door damage is not so easy. Its a lot harder when you keep getting Brigittes and other not so great picks though. Just need that and the 4 bonus waves of Legendary Endless sprays

Torb and Zen are mandatory for anything

People insist on Ana, but they have NO idea how precious Discord is. And its a free ability, Nano Boost is her fucking Ult, the complete opposite . You can kill Reapers as soon as they teleport in, as long as all of you are coordinated

And with a Torb there, her sleep dart is fucking useless

shes just completely obsolete when you bring in the extra characters.

With Sym's reworks, you no longer have to worry about taking out her shield generators or worrying about them stacking if another Sym comes in. Her new barriers run out after a few moments and then thats it

Like I said, this year its just SO much easier since so many things have landed in the player's favor
---

Seriously

I remember the ENTIRE TEAM had to be coordinated and have a mic

the crazy planning you had to do

"We combo ults here

and on this time, you sleep there

Multiple Reapers after Junk

Let Hanzo get some kills at this time to get his ult"

etc

This time, I've just been winging it and we win. I haven't really memorized anything nor have I spoken to the team once

Nows the time to get your shit!
