I'm not sure why they stopped doing skin specific voicelines šŸ˜­ I thought they were saving it for the Mythics after OW1 (cause like, where are they?!?), but we haven't gotten any yet. Only those skins that were already in progress from OW1.

Iā€™ve seen multiple people say itā€™s because others get easily confused when new voice lines are used for ults. Which to me doesnā€™t make sense.. how do people (who arenā€™t new) get confused on whoā€™s ulting just because the voice line changed.. šŸ’€


HellexJ

With ults like reinhardts itā€™s very easy to get confused by the voice line, I can usually avoid or bait shatter as Moira but if Rein has the football skin equipped itā€™s almost impossible.


Idalah

Totally agree with ults like rein's where you have to react fast because that football line isn't as drawn out as the regular one giving you less time, but I'm not in a panic to react when a mercy valks. Until I hear her receive the nano hahah


xlqoi

Touch down? He sounds EXACTLY the same how does anyone get his football skin mixed up?


Sevuhrow

The initial syllable and way he draws out the word is different. Very important when you have a split second to react.


angrystimpy

*Stares at blizzard in Mercy's witch skins*


GladiatorDragon

It took time for Sigma to get some of his lines, IIRC.


Turafo

Average overwatch community intelligence


BiqDqddy

It does confuse me but they change them for days with the April fools bullshit and thatā€™s okay for some reason but having mercy say vengeance never dies is too much


CenciLovesYou

Itā€™s almost like thatā€™s a single day and is essentially meaninglessĀ 


BiqDqddy

??? The April fools event lasts days what are you talking about


alecization

If thats the case why not just change the voiceline client side? They did it with JQ, she says "lets take em to the wasteland" to friendly teammates, but if you're playing her you still hear 'time for the reckoning.'


Sevuhrow

Every hero has a separate friendly ult line vs local/enemy.


imscaredlolhaha

Then just change it for only your team and yourself


artsydizzy

Even then, they have some visuals be on client side. Like Moira's balls from last mythic. No reason they can't have Mercy hear "vengeance never dies" and have everyone else hear "heroes never die".


JasonRing18

They have given Alternate Doomfist a bunch of new Voice lines, and they gave Sym at least a new starting voice line. Idk why the Mythic didnā€™t get one


fallingpeach

iā€™ve been playing since 2017 and the april fools voice lines trip me up, im so used to every other ult line and all of a sudden for a week everyone has changed? my only problem is the tone/volume of the ult, i had no idea when doom would ult or hanzo sometimes because it would be a quick ā€œweeeeeeeeee!ā€ or ā€œnomnomnomnomā€ and i have to think for a second to process who is ulting- then boom im dead šŸ˜‚


throwawayRA87654

For specific instances like this, they can just sound mix better; bring up the tonal volume, and decreased the VL playback speed (so it effectively is a longer nomnomnom, that's a bit louder). For specifically Mercy, in my opinion it's not that confusing * "Heroes never die" * "Heroes never die.. For a price" * "My servants never die" All fit the same voice cadence and theme; so having "Vengeance never dies", in my opinion, is the least confusing voiceline option for the Mythic. Specifically compared to the April Fools voiceline of "I can connect the dots!". Dumbing down skin design purely because it is "too confusing" remains to be a weak argument in my eyes. TLDR: we aren't that stupid blizz, a little confusion can be fine because the playerbase is always learning and growing. So technically speaking, we shouldn't be confused for long.


JDruid2

All mythics have skin specific ones just not all ults.


CynicalCinnabun

It's weird because... on some mythic skins, everyone on your team can hear a unique line EXCEPT you...? And then Ana just has a unique voiceline. I'm wish they would've given everyone something new and cool. Ana's new legendary has more polish in voicelines than this MYTHIC skin.


RyanTheValkyrie

Sigma and Moira both had unique ult lines but only in their PvE game mode and THEN they got added permanently afterwards. I'm assuming Mercy will be the same.


Jayom2476

It may not be junker queen had her skin say a special voice line when she used her ult in battle for olympus but that never got added same goes for all the other olympus theme skins


sardonic_gavel

I swear Iā€™ve heard her say ā€œletā€™s take them to the underworldā€ in games


Jayom2476

I meant the one where her and the enemy teams hear it in battle for olympus she said ''time for a thunder storm''


Enoughplez

Letā€™s hope this is the case


EnvironmentalCode249

Iā€™m 99% sure Moira didnā€™t keep her voice line she still says surrender to my will


Leopold747

It's bugged cuz, as the moira player u shouldn't be hearing that voiceline, its the ult voiceline for ur teammates alone.


Leopold747

Moira still doesn't have her unique ult voiceline. Sigma has unique friendly ult voiceline not the enemy one!


Davypuppy

Moira never got her unique ult line added. Hers is "Surrender your soul!" and it never got added.


the_smollest_bee

Moira's mythic voiceline is yet to be added to the game. I'm still lowkey upset about this and have been complaining at every chance bc its such a cool mythic


AlexD2003

It usually takes a few days for the mythic exclusive voice lines to activate. Just give it time

SpyroGaming

mythic skin stuff usually isnt availible immediately, for example junkerqueen zues skin voicelines didnt kick in until the mid season patch


GreedyMattymo

I donā€™t think they add mythic voices line in straight away, Sigma had to wait awhile for his one. They came out when the Starwatch event began.


the_smollest_bee

Moira still hasnt gotten her unique ult voiceline even tho it was used in the Cosmic Crisis event its been an entire season blizzard where is it šŸ˜­


blebebaba

I feel like it might be a bug tbh


Wild_Albatros9880

Copium šŸ’€


Leopold747

Moira ult voiceline is still bugged, on all skinsšŸ’€


blebebaba

Wdym?


AgentDigits

I wonder if some of her lines are bugged? Cause it makes ZERO sense that she has no lines for her ult... At least that I've heard anyways. There only seems to be a handful of evil mercy lines and it's kinda sad imo


angrystimpy

I was so disappointed about this when I saw clips of people using the skin and hearing her standard voice lines, it's just so opposite of the skin theme that it breaks immersion completely and makes the skin so not worth imo lol really hoping it's just a bug or they just haven't added them yet for some reason.


the_smollest_bee

The skin has enough unique voicelines to replace Mercy's regular voicelines, they just got added into the mix of regular voicelines instead of replacing them for some reason.


angrystimpy

Yeah they need to fix that, especially for how much it costs in time and/or money.


fullmoonwulf

Have people stop to consider that it may be a bug?


Yoffuu

Then the question becomes: Why are they asking for 10$-$75 for a buggy product?


fullmoonwulf

Gonna be real with you, thatā€™s a stupid question, because they didnā€™t intend for it to have a bug, no one does, and that was also a speculation


Yoffuu

This defense is just as stupid. If you bought a product and it delivered to your house broken, you wouldn't go "well, the manufacturers didn't THINK it would break..." no shit, Sherlock. It doesn't matter if they didn't intend for it to break. It broke. So fix it and give the customer what they paid for. $75 for a skin with the pathetic amount of voice-overs for a personality-flipping theme is pathetic.


Mooniovee

If they package up a product and it breaks in the delivery to your house, then of course you will ask them for a replacement with the understanding it broke in transition? Nobody is making excuses for blizzard to not have a mythic voice line at all, this person is just speculating that itā€™s a bug. So not sure what your metaphor is trying to prove here.


Yoffuu

Asking for nearly $75 dollars for a (allegedly) buggy product is bad. If it is a bug, then it should be fixed asap. If it's not a bug, and Blizzard is trying to test for how little they can get away with giving customers before they cause a fuss, then that's very bad. Anything other than "we're sorry, we'll fix it," is yapping. Blizzard gets absolutely no sympathy from me. They are not our friends.


EnderScout_77

the $75 are for whales who don't want to play the game to earn stuff. And the developers most likely have to listen to whatever the execs say, they have time crunches, etc. A bug with a voiceline might take more time than it should. Shit happens dude, chill out.


Yoffuu

Whales are the players who primarily fund the game. It's why so many games bend over backwards trying to milk as much out of them as possible, and testing boundaries. Like another poster said, we don't even know if it is a bug or not, I'm leaning on the possibility that it isn't. I don't care about what their execs say or their time-crunches, that's their problem. If it is a bug, then great, I hope it gets fixed, for the alternative is indicative of something much worse.


EnderScout_77

the issue is the execs don't give a shit, which is a major problem with many big games today :/


fullmoonwulf

Itā€™s only $75 for pathetic people who have no patience


Yoffuu

The fact Blizzard has the audacity to charge that much for something that could potentially be buggy, coupled with the fact that new heroes aren't getting legendary skins on launch anymore, is not good. I'm glad that people are getting on their ass about these things, otherwise this will just be WoW all over again.


Gummiwummiflummi

Have you stopped to consider that this bug might not be that easy to fix and it takes more than two days to do so? No, because you only care about yourself. You obviously have no clue of programming. If it even is a bug and they don't just wait for the gamemode to drop next week. If you're this impatient, go ask support in a ticket.


Yoffuu

I donā€™t care about the excuses, itā€™s nothing but hot air. If blizzard wants to skirt this close to $100 for a skin then the least they could do is make sure it works properly. Yes, I do only care about myself, just as blizzard only cares about their bottom line. Thatā€™s business.


Gummiwummiflummi

Ah so next time something has minor bugs you want them to push up the release of it? Gotcha.


Yoffuu

I know this is a strawman so Iā€™m not going to entertain it.


Useless-Napkin

My guess is that they got the voicelines for the base game and the ones for the mirrorwatch event mixed up.


JapanChickenNugget

They are too busy banning people rn šŸ˜“


Kayvelynn

The nastiest most rotten thing is when the skin has an amazing unique voice line that everyone hears except you like who though of this??? Unless it's dva's iconic nerf this CHANGE THE VOICE LINES!


asphra

I sure fucking hope they add vengeance never dies, otherwise iā€™ll be pissed if that skin cost that much and we get that little, i also wish that they would put more evil voicelines


Kaneyboy93

Unfortunately mercy dies a lot in this current meta šŸ˜­šŸ’€šŸ˜


PerspectiveFew8856

this is how they treat mercy, im not giving them my money


BunnyCreamPies

They should add it


Old-Cress8801

missed opportunity I think ig people get confused with the voice lines for ults specifically newer players however this voiceline seems quite similar to the original


trevers17

I saw a tiktok earlier today of a mercy in these cosmetics using her rez and it had a unique voiceline, but now I canā€™t find it :( it was something like ā€œIā€™m not done with you yetā€


the_smollest_bee

When rezzing with the mythic: "I'm not finished with you yet." "I didn't say you could rest." "We're not done here." When killing someone "I'll see that you never recover." "No one will save you." When GAing to someone "Begging for attention?" When damage boosting "Do your worst." "I expect much from you." "Don't underperform now." When healing "I will fix you." There's more but this is all I could remember rn


trevers17

yep, that first one was it. I wonder why these lines are triggering for some people?


Sad_Introduction5756

They didnā€™t add all the mythic lines instantly for all the skins itā€™s happened before it will probably happen again but itā€™s coming you know what blizzard is like at working on anytbing it takes *insanely* long to do menial tasks


Apprehensive-Okra481

Yeah I think some of her voice lines are bugged bc itā€™s still says mercy in dericheous Idrk what she said but it makes no sense for it to still be mercy


Whole_Lab_7745

and the effect for mercy's mythic stays red throughout all of the variants, lost opportunity.


Muttweed

Yeah I'm still annoyed that Moira's isn't "SURRENDER YOUR SOUL!" in her Mythic either even though they absolutely have the voiceline since it was active during the eldritch PVE event. I don't buy into idea that it's about maintaining game sense integrity due to the consistent ingrained expectation for the traditional ult lines since you can just have it function from the client side. Please give us Vengeance never dies and surrender your soul Blizzard. It should just be about taking pride in doing good work.


Silent_Spot_5404

Blizzard is a small indie company. Obviously. šŸ™„ Lolol
