    Soldiers. Scientists. Adventurers. Oddities.

    In a time of global crisis, an international task force of heroes banded together to restore peace to a war-torn world:

    OVERWATCH.

    It ended the crisis and helped to maintain peace in the decades that followed, inspiring an era of exploration, innovation, and discovery. But after many years, Overwatch's influence waned, and it was eventually disbanded.

    Overwatch is gone… but the world still needs heroes.

     

    Overwatch is Blizzard's 6v6 team based shooter, similar to Team Fortress 2, out on PC, Xbox One and PS4. Each platform will have its own servers and queues, so you will not be able to play with or against anyone playing on another system. There are 21 unique heroes across 12 maps where you are attacking or defending points, escorting or stopping a payload, a combination of the two, or capturing points in a round-based King of the Hill mode. New Heroes and Maps will be added as free content updates.

    Lore
    The game takes place many years after the Omnic Crisis, a war between Humanity and sentient robots, Omnics, has ended. Overwatch, starting as a task force created to end the Crisis, ballooned into a massive organization that lasted long after the war, helping to guide the world into a new golden age. However, after many years of free reign and no oversight, factions within Overwatch began to splinter, leading to an unfavorable view by the general public. Blackwatch, the black ops faction of Overwatch, came to light and their actions led to the eventual shut down of the agency. Many years later, things are starting to creep out of the shadows, leading many Overwatch agents to question their current status.

    Comprised of a refreshingly diverse cast of characters and locations, the game will have an overarching story, even if its not presented in the way Blizzard normally does. They have currently announced an online comic series, a self published printed graphic novel series and animated shorts similar to the cinematic trailer posted above. The online comics will generally focus on one or two heroes, the graphic novel series will focus on the original Overwatch task force and their first mission, and each animated short is currently planned to be a contained mini-story. They showed a small Behind the Scenes video at Blizzcon 2015 if you're interested in learning a little more about the shorts.

    Progression and Cosmetic Items
    Progression is account based, will be 100% cosmetic with no power gained, and there is no Hero leveling. Each game will earn you account experience, and each account level will get you a Loot Box. The quickest way to summarize the system is if you're familiar with Hearthstone's pack and Collection setup. Each Loot Box will contain 4 items which will be something from the following:

    Profile Icons

    Hero Skins

    Emotes

    Sprays

    Voice Lines

    Victory Poses

    Highlight Intros

    Credits

    Any duplicate items will automatically be turned into Credits, which can be spent to unlock specific items if you're luck isn't rolling that specific skin or spray you want. 

     

    One of the coolest cosmetic unlocks are the Highlight Intros, replacements for your Play of the Game intro scene.

     

    Streamers and Videos of Note
    If you're looking for raw, unedited gameplay, here's some suggested streamers to keep an eye on and videos worth checking out.

    A_Seagull He's a very skilled player, previously playing TF2 competitively. He plays primarily offensive heroes, though does dabble in other roles. Very interactive with his chat and does not have, nor currently plan to get, a facecam.

     

    Unit Lost - Great British Gaming has a fantastic youtube channel with guides for each hero, map, and general gameplay tips.

    I'd recommend adding OneAmongstMany to your list of recommended viewing. He's been doing some really cool videos on the heroes and looking at the game from a competitive standpoint for a while now. He also has a twitch stream.

    http://www.twitch.tv/kudochop is another good person to include, he's maybe the best Hanzo player right now, and has been getting started on some scrims lately.


  2. Heya buddies! As mentioned during the stream, here is the list of unsold items along with prices.

    http://rarezhut.net/june-unsold-items

    If you would like to add any of these to your order (or start a new order if you weren't able to make the streams!), then just let us know at [email protected] within the next 24h or so.

     

    RarezHub EU

    We set up a program to help reduce the burden of shipping to Europe when buying from our livestream auctions or through RarezHut Imports.  All orders to customers residing in the EU will be sent in a giant crate to our employee in Germany, who will then repackage orders into individual boxes to be mailed out.  This process does not delay your order however since the combined crate is shipped overseas Priority.  (whereas individual orders would've otherwise been shipped First Class)

    The savings are not insignificant either, with some being close to 45%.  One of the added benefits is that customers will no longer have to deal with the hassle or fees from customs, all contact with customs is handled by our hub in Germany.  The picture below shows the savings of some past customers.

    Customers in the EU don't have to do anything special to be included in this program.  If anyone from the EU does want to place an order to be included in this next big crate (and thus get the kind of savings shown above), please place your order by this sunday. (July 2nd)

    I'm still playing Overwatch on PC! @Valicious has joined me in my quest to form a great team and kick ass. If you play on PC - and you should it's by far the best version of the game - add us on Battle.net and let's get started! If we could create an MH league that would be so cool.

     

    I'm going to create and maintain an Overwatch thread after the RarezHut auction this weekend.  I really would like to have an MH league, that'd be so cool.  Competitive play is going to be added in the next patch (and you can earn points to buy exclusive cosmetic rewards, including golden guns), and how cool would it be to tear up the ranks with an MH team?

    I've never been able to play FPS games before because I have no muscle control in my hands or fingers, but I finally managed to figure out a system to be able to play Overwatch.  It involves an xbox controller, mouse, a heavily customized button config, and a toothbrush.

     

    Add me on battle.net!  Valicious#1906

    A RETURN TO MADNESS

    tBLsrqH.jpg?1EmZRiDR.jpg?1eLtwqzL.jpg?1

     

    Once every two months, a fury of activity descends upon the usually peaceful RarezHut HQ. Deadlines manifest out of thin air, lists compiled, and restful sleep takes a vacation. This pattern continued with no signs of slowing, until Sanity decided to make its annual visit.

    Sanity's tenure was a brief one however, and the joyful madness has taken up root once again.

    Join us for our next RarezHut livestreaming auction! Come for the cheap VK, stay for the drunken antics and giveaways. (For every $200 in sales, we give away a free CD to someone in the chat.)

     

    SATURDAY JUNE 18 & SUNDAY JUNE 19

    SATURDAY JUNE 25 & SUNDAY JUNE 26

    WE START EACH DAY AT 11AM MST/1PM EST/5PM GMT

    EACH DAY ENDS AT4PM MST/6PM EST/10PM GMT

     

    For those of you joining us for the first time:

    During the stream, we'll allow people in the chat to buy items as they appear using our automated bidding system. There will be a starting price displayed on the stream for each item and if multiple people want the item then it'll go auction-style and they can bid up until someone caves and loses out on the rarez.

    A list of specific items will be posted as the date of the stream nears. We will be accepting "ghost bids" from those who cannotattend the actual event. Ghost bids consist of the desired item and your max bid, we will then bid on your behalf up to your maximum.

    Do we need to be there to sign a receipt paper or it will be left on the mailbox? It's not easy when you are at work. I've got nothing yet, I can't wait tho. We've got no tracking for this shipment?

     

    I just talked with our EU shipping manager, and there appears to be some problems with shipments between Germany and France getting delayed.  We didn't get tracking on this package because shipping would've been a lot more expensive.
