After a very tough start week surveillance 2 seems to be finally finds his legs. Big issues like server stability, SMS authenticationand automatic skin purchases have been improved, fixed or are currently being adjusted. However, there are still heaps of individual problems with surveillance 2 unaddressed characters. Some of them are frustrating. others are hilariousand I hope Blizzard never fixes them.

Understandably, Blizzard is focusing its resources on that address the main flaws affecting the broadest group of players. And I’ll eat my shoes if their QA testers hadn’t already spotted most, if not all, of these big bugs before launch. Still, it would have been nice if Blizzard acknowledged at least some of these gameplay issues on their side Pinned post known bugs and issues. Instead of finding out at Blizzard, I found them on social media. Let’s go through them.

Damage-dealer Mei can create a wall of ice that she can use as cover or as a platform to make her way to higher structures. Unfortunately, you jump into these structures at the top surveillance 2 will lead them to the rubber band. For those who don’t know, rubberbanding refers to a delay that occurs between the game server and your local software. This can give the impression that a character is teleporting from one place to another instantly. over watch Players have been uploaded videos or May teleport after a short delay, immediately on their ice wall. Players have also noticed their wall behaving inconsistently. It allows her to fall out of bounds and Mei players have reported being able to step through it.

Since Mei is a less popular character, Fans feel offended by Blizzard’s unwillingness or inability to repair their ability before launch. The bug felt particularly disappointing because she was old Freeze ability has been removedwhich was an important aspect of their playstyle.

Bastion Mains, on the other hand, are having the time of their lives. Within the range of his ultimate ability, he allows you spam artillery on his opponents if you right-click very quickly. The buff will likely be toned down in the near future. For now, bastion mains can still rain terror on their opponents.

There were also other unresolved issues outside of gameplay. Ashe players report that she t-poses when meeting or wearing one specific skinalthough it is possible that Sitting in general is bugged at the moment. And Cassidy’s victory pose looks much more suggestive when he twirls the air instead of his pistol. It’s less that any of the issues are catastrophic than that it’s alongside the other major issues and an overall sparser game (as seen in post-game results or the number of cards now gone). made some players call surveillance 2 more of an “early access” or unfinished experience than expected. Even small details like the UI, are being taken apart because they aren’t perfectly flush at the moment. Other issues like players booting from games or Your game completely crashes after earning achievementsto have has been going on since last week.

Stay tuned: Blizzard will likely encounter character-specific bugs once it finishes putting out server-wide fires or bugs affecting every player in the game. At the moment we can still laugh about it surveillance 2 Players will be completely obliterated by Bastion’s infinite missiles.

Update 7:40 p.m. EST: Blizzard announced that that both Bastion and Torbjorn will be temporarily removed from the game as the developer fixes “some bugs” in their ability kits. Presumably this is in response to the reported issues with Bastion’s infinite ultimate, although in Torbjorn’s case it appears to be related to his Overloaded ability, which reportedly could be used twice in a row. Bastion will not be available at all during this time, while Torbjörn can only be played in quick play (ie unranked).
