Halloween Update

[Mister36]

You expected patch notes, but it was ME, Mister36!

Seriously though, it's most likely coming today, 11 AM PST, 1PM CST. Korean PCCafes got a notice that their game will be updating 3AM on the 12th - https://pcbang.blizzard.com/ko/notice/20324667

Basically says:

(Patch) Overwatch
Patch Date: 2016/10/12 Wed 3AM (KST)
Newest Client Version: 1.4.0.2.32143
Patch Size: About 1.74 GB. Login available after downloading the patch.

This coincides with the message on Eichenwalde:

"Evacuation Order: The evacuation will begin on October 11th (11.10) at 3-8:00 o?clock" With 8PM Germany time lining up with the update time above.

Some information from a Korean PC bang blizzard partner program suggest it may drop tomorrow.

Kind of disappointed that they just darkened the skin of some characters and made their eyes glow as a "zombie" getup (and why isn't Hanzo's named "Oni" instead of the english translation "Demon"?). And where's McCree's skin? He was shown with one in the comic, but he doesn't get even a zombie one?

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to farm the Junkrat, Mercy, and Reaper skins

/and the R.I.P. victory poses
//an' mebbie Bastion's skin...

[Mr. Lemming]

Spooky Rea-er, I mean Reaper's legendary. XD

I got the Mercy skin on the box it gave me at first.

Jade was salty.

No proof. Also, no one likes a bragadocious dude, 36.

It's good the first few times, but after a bit the "cinematics" get a tad annoying

I'm pretty disappointed with Junks skin tbh

You're dead to me.

 

[Mr. Lemming]

You're dead to me.

Honestly I like it, but I feel it's a little underwhelming. Like it's just missing this one or two things to be absolutely amazing...

 

[Mister36]

You're dead to me.

Luckily, my servants never die.

Anyone need a wallpaper of witch Mercy?

Hey. You're not Mercy. I am. You even say so.
