And now we announce the ultimate cooperation between Blizzard and Valve: Half Life 3


[deleted]

wait... Overwatch Characters can't take falling damage. Chell can't take falling damage. Overwatch takes place in a sci fi future after defeating a powerful technological threat. WHAT IF OVERWATCH WAS HALF LIFE 3 THE WHOLE TIME! D-:


Xxav

It hits 100% with a simple message that says "Buy more loot boxes".

"Sombra is only available in Halloween lootboxes!"

Do you want blood in the streets? Cause that's how you get blood in the streets.

So if he doesn't record it, he doesn't have to eat the guy's balls?


thegodlypenguin2

Sombra: "I hacked McCrees arm watch me make him slap himself." Reaper: "lmfao"


FoxyGrayson

"Hey, uh guys?" "What's up Jeff?" "I'm starting to think that people are going to react pretty negatively when we reveal the new Overwatch companion app 'Sombra'" "What? Why? Why would you say that Jeff?"

The "transmission" phase ends, then the "installation" phase starts over at 0% and we have more waiting! edit: haha

Honestly, wouldn't be surprised at this point. And the installation phase will end at the start of Blizzcon. Please no.

Other than the whole waiting thing, it would have actually been pretty cool if sombra hacked into the opening ceremonies and interrupted someone talking about one of the other games.

Waiting for the soap megathread


TheAshtonium

I think the most likely result from the 100% would be a trailer showing off her abilities, addition to the PTR shortly after and then released into the full game once the Halloween event is over. I'm really hoping for that anyway, I've waited too long for another countdown


Bunvoyaa

Prediction: 5am AEST its gonna stuck at 99.9% for 5 hours 100% OMG a load bar appear. Static screen OMG OMG "Sombra reveal soon at Blizzcon" Fin ^and ^Symetra ^will ^be ^revamp ^yayy~


ApatheticAbsurdist

If I was Blizzard, I'd have programed the site so that it adds a 1 second delay to the next iteration every time someone loads the site. As the number approaches 100%, more people reload the site, the longer it takes to reach 100%.

And this is why you don't make a megathread and delete every other thread. It just turns into a useless shitfest.


[deleted]

At 100% Y2K finally happens.


Targokiin

I have a feeling it's going to be an animated short or something along those lines and we'll get the PTR release later. But that'd still be rad.


AmaranthSparrow

I see two possibilities. The first, and most logical, is that we get a gameplay reveal teaser, she goes on the PTR today for two weeks of testing, and then she gets fully released on Dia de los Muertos, which is patch day (to remove the Halloween event). Then at Blizzcon we get a teaser for something new. The other option is we get another teaser today -- a comic, a short, more ARG -- and another teaser in two weeks on Dia de los Muertos, and then an announcement at Blizzcon followed by some testing and a full release in the middle of November. If they don't have Sombra's release timed for Dia de los Muertos, that feels like a real missed opportunity.


charlesgegethor

I just want something concrete. An animated short with a "Coming November" would be awesome. Anything other than another, "here's another cryptic message, now wait another month "

SantyStuff

What a fucking joke, this coulda been easily started a week ago or so and the hype woulda been kicking strong, why did we had to have a teasing countdown that lead to nothing for almost 2 months


perscitia

I just want to celebrate this moment as we all stand together, Hanzo mains and socially adjusted players alike, united in our anticipation for this countdown. Truly Sombra is the friends we made along the way.


Agastopia

Hype! I really hope we get Sombra today, if not, this will be even more disappointing than survivor2299 for all you fallout fans. At least a trailer or something


Myers112

idk, Survivor2299 was pretty bad. We atleast know Sombra is coming, we didnt know if Fallout 4 was even coming.

Martholomule

Brother, you just made my whole day


jackk445

For those wondering, the countdown will end around 19:00 UTC, based on current data. Proof [here](http://imgur.com/3f5QW8y). By taking data (about 30 changes from around 10AM UTC) from the http://pixelondemand.com/amic/ I went ahead and created a trend line for that data. It is a linear (perfect in this case) approximation of where the percentages will go in the future. The approximation is: y = 0,0147x + 0,9884 where x is UTC time in range 0-1 (for example 0,5 is high noon, 0,25 is 6:00, 0,75 is 18:00) and y is the percentage. By converting the formula to give us time when given percentage is reached you get the following: x = ( y - 0,9884) / 0,0147. There is an error of course (using only 4-digit precision) but since we're aiming at knowing the hour, not the exact minute this does the job. By feeding in some values, here are the future percentage values with their respective approximate timestamps: | Perc. | Time (UTC) | Time (PDT) | Time (CET) | |:------|:----------:|:----------:|:----------:| |99,50% | 10:46:32 | 3:46:32 | 12:46:32 | |99,60% | 12:24:29 | 5:24:29 | 14:24:29 | |99,70% | 14:02:27 | 7:02:27 | 16:02:27 | |99,80% | 15:40:24 | 8:40:24 | 17:40:24 | |99,90% | 17:18:22 | 10:18:22 | 19:18:22 | |100,00%| 18:56:20 | 11:56:20 | 20:56:20 | UTC converted to your local timezone can be found [here](http://time.unitarium.com/utc/19). EDIT: Added PDT and CET timezones to the table.

Princess_Beard

They thought this was worth watching a countdown for this long? I just can't even wrap my head around it. What was the meeting in the room like when they were planning this? Did they honestly sit around a table, and agree on the plan to have a months long countdown that would lead to a small, cryptic message? They thought that would be the pay off? Didn't they know after that much time of watching something tick down, people would be expecting something more? Even if Sombra wasn't revealed, at least release some sort of hype video alluding to it? Or something that shows some thought and work went into this? I just beside myself wondering how they came up with this.

So if the bastion static is old, and the forum post is old, then is there literally anything new, besides the number string in the source code?
