They exist, and a lot of them still play on both servers. CN players are also part of Overwatch, and people should push Blizzard to give better rewards for their international players, but harassing accounts like OW Calvary is not constructive. #Overwatch #BlizzardEntertainment

There is no need to be rude about a server you do not play on. Taking this out on Chinese player will only result in your arguments sounds Sinophobic. Chinese players are forced to play on the international server for ~1.5 years and lost access to their account. #Overwatch #BlizzardEntertainment

Blizzard has control over what they give to the international players. That is true, and they can match with the rewards provided by NetEase. They can do better. However, I’ve seen so many discussion all over the internet, and the conversation is honestly so one sided and tiring. #Overwatch

🧵(cont) - 11. They want to use AI to cut down their costs and replace actual creativity. They have already started using AI to create art for Identity V (+ Loverwatch pt.2 skins, rumored). They are not some benefactors nor savior in terms of game management. DO NOT support their act. #Overwatch

100

🧵(cont) - 9. The current releases is simply what NetEase offers as a form of marketing, instead of being compensation. - 10. NetEase is notorious for exploiting its employees. They had a massive lay off, impacting over 1000 employees and contractors this April. #Overwatch #BlizzardEntertainment

100

🧵(cont) - 7. Which means that you have to pay extra to get all the mythics, even if you were playing the whole time. - 8. Chinese BP also offers an additional 20 loot boxes, plus another 20 with premium BP purchases. This is also said to be compensating for the contents missed. #Overwatch

100

🧵(cont) - 5. After the shut down, they lost a massive amount of player base and need to cater for attracting new players. Thus the increase in free rewards. - 6. There was BP compensation as login rewards, but they didn’t cover all the mythics missed, and doesn’t include the prisms. #Overwatch

🧵(cont) - 3. The new deal brought Blizzard games back to China, and gave NetEase more freedom on monetization of in-game contents, including cosmetics. - 4. The games are now under THUNDERFIRE STUDIO, instead of BLIZZARD CN. That means the compensations are determined by NetEase. Not Blizzard.

100

🧵 - 2. The CN server was gone for 14 seasons, due to Blizzard and NetEase failed to strike a deal with contract renewals. Meanwhile, Chinese player doesn’t have access to their account or cosmetics. They achieved a new deal after the acquisition and Bobby Kotick was gone. #Overwatch #BlizzardGames

100

🧵 A couple IMPORTANT facts to note before saying “Blizzard favors China”: - 1. Blizzard don’t have control over OW in China. NetEase does. Data DOES NOT transfer between the two versions of Overwatch. #Overwatch #Videogames #BlizzardEntertainment

- got the skins via a ~$100 skin pack their compensation was 2 loot boxes. I don’t see why NetEase compensating the players (who love and paid for their games) for a deal not struck by the giant companies could bother someone who do not play on the server.

000

Er don’t tell misconceptions if you don’t know who is operating. NetEase decided to give Chinese player base the skins, and previously most of them have been made available via login rewards after the server reboots because the player base has died down by the shut down. AND for those who -

iPhone SE 1st Gen is the best iPhone ever made. The only improvement one can make to that is iPhone 13 mini (though not so much on the photo quality side). Anything beyond that is a mini tablet rather than a phone😔

Now we have a closer look at it, one can see that the ram skin has really been altered a whole lot… Not necessarily a bad thing but this palette is more superior than the bright green, and fits better with the theme. Especially with the staff, why does it have a genji now?? 😭 I prefer darker colors…

010

The only grudges i hold for this set aside from emre is the color scheme change for ram, he's supposed to be the Pale Rider (Death) and was designed with a dim cyan / cold steel grey palette, which conveys the idea pretty solid. This green completely missed the point

000

How come you make slops like this just for 10th anniversary. Like just copy CN server at this point

000

(Not excusing them but considering the history of NetEase being extremely exploitative and the current Chinese labor market, this is not going to be improved in the short term)

120

hmm I think I get your point better now that you state it explicitly. Sadly this is true and they are lacking on NetEase’s side, I honestly don’t think blizzard has direct control on this instance. The anniversary illustration project did better on this and i hope they keep that

There is a random person in here without concept art and it shows They are called four horsemen of apocalypse for a reason who tf are you😭

ig to soem extent that help with all the artist getting public attention to their design? Because people would go into the voting page and see through the design to find things they like the best and that would give some equal opportunity to all artist being represented. Idk how well that worked tho

100

I’m not getting in twitter to argue with people but please don’t get into the “overwatch giving CN server free items conversation” as if you have an opinion if you don’t know a thing about how foreign companies operates in China 👍

Closer Look at #Overwatch Anniversary Rewards ✨ In China, these rewards are based on your account's registration year, so players who started in 2016 get all of these cosmetics. It's currently unclear whether the same system will apply globally. 🗓️ Available: May 12 - June 01

They actually did tho with the contest part, there was community voting and that is directly linked to the artists and their own submission. It’s just the presentations final ingame product that could be executed better imo 😔

These except for the Vendetta one are winners of a community art contest, and Zarya doesn’t appear to be one of three winners

The twitter response to this is honestly so deadass just sinophobic to this extent lmao💀 “I don’t know shit about how the CN server operates or what CN players went through, I see things given to Chinese server I complain. However when their server got shutdown idc because it wasn’t me” sorta thing
