hey folks this is rhykker with a news wrap-up video on what's been going on in
the worlds of Diablo and overwatch over the past week we'll start with Diablo so
if you're here for overwatch we're going to put up here the time signature to go
to to skip to if you just want to go straight to the overwatch content and
we'll note that I'll put links in the description below to any relevant videos
and stories to learn more about what we're covering so kicking things off
with Diablo the necromancer pack obviously released this week you know
just in case my millions and millions of videos and livestreams didn't tip you
off with the pack also came patch 2.6 these are all available now across all
regions and PC ps4 and Xbox one now on the launch night those're did something
a little special and they started hyping it 24 hours
before the event so it was 8 p.m. on Monday night when the Diablo official
twitch channel went live and on the footage we saw a countdown ticking down
for 24 hours in other words all the way to Wednesday at 8 p.m.
apart from the timer what we were seeing was footage of this right here some
creepy murder basement with a grungy chair Cavalia I want to play a game
speculation started almost immediately what was this countdown for was there
going to be some big announcement at the end of the 24 hours
could it be Diablo 4 no no that didn't make any sense the necromancy pack was
finally launching hours before the timer would end and would it make sense for
Blizzard to undercut the launch of the necromancer with of Diablo 4 reveal they
wouldn't want to do anything that pulled spotlight away from the necromancer so
after some digging we realized that the countdown was for a special stream event
internet famous person Jessica Chobot will be live streaming some necromancer
gameplay from a real real haunted house why I don't know
Diablo isn't a horror game but made for a nice publicity stunt and hopefully it
brought more awareness to the necromancer pack Chobot hadn't played
Diablo since I believe 2013 is what she said so she represented an important
demographic former Diablo 3 players that might be interested in returning to the
game jiya blows senior devel paren all around that ass Travis day
join Jessica via the Internet's for a few hours but Chobot ultimately streamed
the campaign up until 6 a.m. intermittently taking trips around the
haunted house to try and coax a ghost into doing something the cameras set up
they had for the whole event was fantastic I loved the streaming camera
setup they had like over-the-shoulder views they would swap cut it was all
very professional and as they would go through the house it was very
reminiscent of every terrible found footage film released since the Blair
Witch Project now well I don't believe we got to
witness any spooky happenings Jessica seemed to stand firmly by the belief
that something struck or touched in some way the back of her head and she
developed a very real headache after that I personally think the headache was
more likely to have been induced by the clearly uncomfortable headset she was
wearing but that's just my armchair diagnosis on to our next story I'd like
to highlight an insightful Theory raised by reddit user judge you later
concerning the new realms of fate added into patch 2.6 the lore behind these
regions is as follows the high heavens are still reeling from the events of the
Prime Evils assault the Archangel of fate ethereal
has discovered a curious development in the far corners of his sanctified
libraries the tomes and history stored within his libraries are changing the
heavens themselves transforming into small pockets reflecting the past
present and potential futures that's a lot of flow sub sounds the no one can
make sense of why this has occurred it still poses a threat to sanctuary so jug
you later points us towards the prophecy of the end of days as recited and
recorded by Deckard Cain this is something that were made aware of at the
start of Diablo 3 the prophecy is and at the end of days wisdom shall be lost as
justice falls upon the world of men valor shall turn to wrath and all hope
will be swallowed by despair death at last shall spread its wings over all as
fate lies shattered forever now it seems that every line in this prophecy
reflects something that has happened in the story of Diablo 3 or
prior starting with the first line wisdom shall be lust malthael was the
archangel of wisdom and he left the NGS council the council of angels after the
events of diablo 2 so this is before the start of diablo 3 next line justice
falls upon the world of men Tyrael is the archangel of justice and
in diablo 3 the start of the story has Tyrael as a falling star plummeting to
the world valor shell turn to wrath Imperius is the archangel of valor and
throughout diablo 3 seems pretty upset or wrathful towards the Nephilim next
line and all hope will be swallowed by despair in diablo 3 oriole the archangel
of hope is captured by rackin oz the Lord of despair and we have to free her
then we have death at last shall spread its wings overall mal feel returned as
the aspect of death now Rin Reaper of souls expansion as fate lies shattered
forever so so far every line of this poem has correspond to one of the
Archangels and each line correlates directly to something in the story of
Diablo 3 or the pre story of Diablo 3 this last line is the only one that has
yet to be covered by the story now we know that at some point two expansions
were planned for Diablo 3 so could this line have been meant to have been
resolved in the second expansion are we instead now getting it resolved in the
realms of fate or some future content these regions do appear to be shattered
remnants of fate pieced together definitely food for thought and lastly
for Diablo news I want to cover two videos one here is for the curse of
Tristram which we've discussed before this is a Diablo 2 remake being made by
a modder in Starcraft 2 the creator released a new video showcasing every
act all 5 acts of Diablo 2 and the beta for his mod will start this summer in
the battlenet arcade which I believe is freely available to everyone check the
description below for more details and links and the last video I want to bring
up was just a great funny video that you all should watch carbot animations who
creates plenty cartoons for Blizzard games has finally graced the Diablo
franchise with one of his cartoons and it's all about the release of the
necromancer it's short it's funny check it out you'll like it link in the
description ok on to overwatch news so the big thing that happened last week
was what could be considered a doom fist week if you're somehow out of the loop
on this here's what happened basically if you were on the public test server
trying out the upcoming build if your game crashed you can find something
interesting in the crash log the log revealed that the internal name for the
building tested was one point thirteen point zero point zero doom fist slash
summer games whoops now we've had hoaxes in the past and we continue to have
hoaxes so people went about trying to corroborate this after the first person
reported it and soon enough people were crashing their game and posting their
crash logs also revealing that doom fist slash Summer Games title some people
even looked into the game coat itself and found the same title in there and at
least one person even recorded footage of himself opening the file to show the
doom fist title and prove that it wasn't faked so what happened after that a
patch went out pretty quickly and removed the doom fist Summer Games
reference we're now only left with version 1.13 point zero point zero to
pile on to this some people pointed out that a new hero has come out every for
major version so Ana came out in version 1.1 but then after that it was every for
version so 1.5 came Sombra and orissa came with 1.9 so one point 13 would be
on track for a new hero data miners also dug into the files and
found evidence that heavily suggests that there is a new encrypted hero in
the game files so this is the best evidence we've had yet that doom fist
will soon be coming to overwatch for his name to have been in the build title
then this was either an internal joke it was a screw-up that revealed doom fist
or was the devs deliberately screwing with us
it's one of those three things and whichever it is we'll find out soon
enough because the summer games if they're going to be at the same time as
last year will be coming up in August also in overwatch news if you're into
that sort of thing there's a new 19 inch tall diva statue up for sale if you have
450 dollars just lying around you know just some
spare statue money furthermore Ars Technica released a video interview with
game designers Jeff Kaplan and Jeff Goodman that shed some light on two
overwatch both Lorelei's and development wise some of the key things we learned
include that the team regrets giving Gangji a double jump because it's really
difficult to balance we learned that Farah was first developed as an
interesting game mechanic that they built a character around jetpack +
rockets whereas soldier 76 was almost the
opposite where he was a story concept fleshed out into a playable character on
the other hand was about 50/50 split between story and game mechanic as for
Winston he just started off as some cool concept art we also learned that bashing
throughout development went through about a dozen different Ultimates and
that danji was so difficult to make that it took a year and a half to finalize
him the devs even had something to say about doom fist
have a listen well dude this be the next hero it wasn't be sweet I think I think
this would be super cool he's clearly shown his prowess and new bunny recently
so I think he might be a little a piece but a man but was a good I think dude
this would purify and yes nice being and then I think I'm magic
he was your medic and range attack so if you're interested I encourage you guys
to check out the video for yourself it's got plenty of Jeff trolling moments we
love Jeff Kaplan for that link down below now we've had another question
answered by Jeff on the forums he explained why we don't have any water
levels in overwatch Jeff says while we might add more water and swimming at
some point we made a very conscious decision to avoid water gameplay for a
few reasons the main reason is that we rarely found swimming gameplay fun in
other shooters while the immersion is great the actual moment-to-moment
gameplay is usually underwhelming if not gimmicky he went on to explain that it
would be a huge job for the animators to have to make swimming animations for all
the characters any close by saying so while conceptually we think swimming
is cool and add to the immersion and fantasy of being in a cool game world
the practical reality of it has made us hold off for now maybe in the future now
what do you guys think about that do you want a swimming level in overwatch
I've played plenty of arena shooters in the pack
and I can't say that I miss swimming and the last story we'll cover today is on
the lighter side of news streamer Ruud ISM who previously brought us live
gameplay of him playing overwatch with bananas and Doritos has now assembled a
French baguette controller to play Widowmaker yes he attached an Arduino
micro controller to a loaf of bread making use of push buttons a thumb stick
and a gyroscope to use the bread as a controller and the sad thing about this
story is that even with a baguette he is a better Widowmaker than me and that
wraps up this video as a reminder check the description for links relevant to
the stories you covered today and leave a comment with your thoughts let me know
