It looks like it is confirmed we will be getting at least 3 new maps before the end of the year and possibly new PvE modes. Maps I'm not too bothered about, it adds some extra life to the game but ultimately not much. Also, while I like Eichenwalde I don't particularly like Oasis so it is open as to whether these 3 maps will be any good. More PvE content would be nice though, I have enjoyed this one and it is good to learn more of the backstory and lore without having to read the comics or watch the animated shorts etc. Link to the article: http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/overwatch-three-more-maps-2017/

I think I have had about every size going over the years. I think the biggest I have had is was a Silverstone TJ07 but currently running a M-ITX system in a Bitfenix Prodigy. The Prodigy still isn't that small but I needed the room for 3.5" drives and with a 200mm (230mm?) fan in the front it isn't particularly noisy either. If space is tight then M-ITX may be the way to go, there has been some high end M-ITX boards which still give you overclocking, NVME support etc. Obviously M-ITX still has its limitations in that they mostly (if not all) only can take 2 RAM sticks, only 1 graphics card / expansion card, have less S-ATA ports etc. As a general rule, smaller cases have smaller fans or fans have to run faster so they will be noisier than large cases. However it really comes down to what space you have, if space is that tight then you may have to pick a case first then choose the components to go in it.

I think there is only one in Nora territory, which you can find at any time. One of the side quests tells you where it is but I can't remember which one.

Whats the spec of your laptop? It shouldn't really matter much as no PC should slow down appreciably unless there is some large software changes. Abother vote for SSD's are great, I run one in my htpc. A little overkill but it was spare when I dismantled my gaming PC and it does power button to ready to watch stuff in about 20-25 seconds. I don't think I could go back to a machanical boot drive, they always seem soooooooo slow. I would also look at if there are any programs you can remove that you no longer use. Look in to stopping certain programs running at start up - it wont really make your pc faster but once you hit windows it will be ready to use quicker so will feel faster. Also, look at your task manager to see if anything is using alot of cpu/ram. If you don't know what some of the processes are google is your friend. Some programs like using a lot even when just running in the background.

Good to know I can do something right Shame the cabling is nowhere near that near on my desk.

See this is what I was thinking; Split my mic and going in to the mixamp and audio coming out and re-combine them to go in to the Elgato. It would record a mix of game sound and chat as a seperate audio channel with the normal capture just being game sound. It didn't work though and I don't really know why. Edit: Whoops, I realised I put the mic splittler the wrong way round. I did have it the right way round when I tested this out. I have a desk mounted mic so easy enough for me to use headset and desk mic at the same time, just a pain in the ass extra step for making the videos.

@tronic44 rather than spam up your PPR. My headset is wired through an Astro Mixamp (2011 I think - the one that came with A40's) with a chat cable to the controller. From memory my settings by default microphone and chat output are both set to mixamp but the only way I found to get party chat in a recording was to set output to HDMI. Obviously this records all your lovely voices but not my own which is where my problems lie. Maybe with yours being Bluetooth, it outputs everyones voices via bluetooh to the receiver plugged in your laptop? As I said in your PPR, there is an option in the capture software to record chat to a separate file if, as I understand, your mic is plugged directly in to the HD60. The idea being you can record as you stream and your voice goes to a separate file to the game recording then you can upload to youtube or wherever without your voice on if you wanted. Therefore if you can get all party chat to this 3.5mm jack then it would be possible to get them as separate channels and make things easier. I tried to split the output to my headset but now thinking should I have tried to split the chat cable between mixamp and controller? I'll make a diagram later as I think its too convoluted to explain but would be interesting to see your settings for how you have got it working.

What makes the racing fun is the amount of abuse going on in the chat too. I have recorded some of the races but haven't worked out how to record party chat yet My free time is sporadic at the moment but if I'm free then I am up for some more racing.

It is slightly annoying that everyone follows their own tree. As if you heist with the same people all the time, for everyone to get through the heists you end up doing each one 4 times. This is why we have done the prison break heist a number of times as each of us has got to it. Regarding the apartments, you only need apartment for them*. The heists / apartments are tiered but give access to all the ones below your 'tier'. A cheap apartment locks you to only small heists but have the most expensive then you can do every heist. *This is based on my knowledge from release and it may have changed since then but I haven't seen anything to make me think it has.

Haha believe it or not but I hadn't played a lot of the tracks we had raced the last few nights, I'm just that good though good to have some new ones and up for racing them anytime

Thoughts on the game - Quick play can be frustrating especially if you're playing solo as always seem to end up on the team of window lickers. In a group of 3 or 4 (or more) and the game is a lot more fun. It is a bit of a grind to hit level 25 but competitive opens up and the game is great to play most of the time. As for a character to start with, I think this depends on what games you have come from previously. If other FPS games then Soldier 76 as he is closest to a traditional FPS character. Some of the issue with Overwatch is that it can be difficult to switch characters as you need to play a number of matches to get used to each characters abilities and different firing types.

Generally positive changes I would say and more buffs than nerfs which is a nice change. The Bastion nerf has been live on PC for a while now and having watched some videos he is used a lot less now. So fingers crossed this works for consoles too. Bastion has his place but he was OP and annoying knowing you would always be facing him when attacking. Though I think you have Winston the wrong way round as this is possibly quite a big buff for him. Pre-patch his bubble cooldown only began when the placed bubble was destroyed now though it will begin from when it placed which means more Winston bubbles. Zenyatta is an interesting change, I can't say I noticed much spread to his orbs but a reduction is always good. I don't know if his projectiles have a drop off on them but seems to be making him more a mid to long range attacker now. Also should make Zen a little better against Pharah too which another Pharah counter is always welcome.

I think it is simply the best armour that there is. The reason it is so good is that it makes you invincible for a certain amount of damage. The armour powers up and while powered up you take no damage whatsoever but if you take too much damage then the suit powers down and you will take damage like normal. It is quite a lot of damage you can take though, like multiple direct hits from a Thunderjaw and you're fine. If the suit powers down though you can just dodge around for a few seconds and it powers back on and your invincible again.

It will be interesting to see the change to Einchenwalde, it was one of the worst choke's of the game. I think you're right too that our dive comp may be a good choice, though another way through may equally hurt our defence too.

Nice idea I don't personally stream so no use for me currently but I know others do. Also might be worth setting the hosting channels when offline thing to share individual FG members streams and visa versa - I've no idea how it works but I know there was some controversy about it.

I should be on and up for some raiding if we can get enough people. Normal mode is pretty easy these days too and drops up to 385 so a bit of luck on the drops should see you up a few levels at least. I presume you also haven't got the Outbreak prime quest from the raid either? so if we raid we can do that too as only adds about 10 mins to the raid time (plus you get a guaranteed exotic too).

Haha I remember that night. You also covered my slightly embarrassing moment of getting hit by a train We need to play some more GTA, annoying to keep failing some of the heist stuff but racing or random missions are such a laugh.
-
You mean don't refer to little moe as the stick of destiny? I should be on tonight if you fancy some Destiny. I can't remember what rank you said you got to but always a few ways to start pushing your light level up.

908 hours (60hours deleted) and that doesn't include time in social spaces or in orbit so possibly over 1000 hours for me all told.

Yeah not a problem man, I can upload just the intro later if you want save you grabbing it from a pog hog video.

If I do it like that then each split will be after the amp so should be quite easy to boost volume. The volume I hear should also be the one being recorded so the volume and mix should be about right. For editing, I have camtasia studio 8, it isn't great but does what I need for now.

So having looked in to it, there is an option in the menu to record commentary and export it to a separate file. This should make it easier to get party chat with the right game moments and line up the timelines too. The only way I can think to do this though for party chat it, my headset connects to my mixamp with a y-splitter. If I then y-split each of the y-splitter so I would have four 3.5mm jacks - 2 for microphone and 2 for earphone. I could then plug my headset in as normal in 2 of them, the other 2 I could run with another y-splitter on the end to combine them back to one 3.5mm jack which I could then plug in to my capture card.

Thanks for linking all of these, I have watched most of the little shorts released but never read any of the comics so will get to reading.

I haven't quite worked out modifications either, I have applied mods to everything I can but can't say I have noticed much different. I got a legendary weapon modification which gives me something like 30% fire damage on my bow but not sure if this normal arrows now do some fire damage or if only fire arrows do 30% more damage. I am not too worried at the moment though as relatively easily taking down everything I come across. I wouldn't mind getting a weapon with tear though as I can see it making it easier once you can knock weapons off the robots.

I thought of doing something similar as I could record chat in a separate file but it means having several y splitters and then trying to 'line' up the chat audio with any videos if it is to be included etc. Similar problems would be with a TS server but I think, having a capture card, there must be a more elegant and easier solution.
