Blizzard isn’t planning to disable Tracer over an Overwatch 2 bug that gives her a major buff
A recent bug that has given Tracer a major buff in Overwatch 2 was expected to have the character disabled, but Blizzard says that won’t be the case.
The bug in question removes any damage drop-off when she shoots at an opponent player under 20 metres. Normally the amount of damage you do scales based on how close or far away you are, but this bug means that as long as you’re within 20 metres, you’re essentially doing the maximum amount of damage, presuming that your aim is good.
It’s generally been expected that Tracer would be disabled as a result, but as spotted by PCGamesN, a comment from the game’s director Aaron Keller on a Reddit post about the bug has explained she won’t be taken out of the game.
Blizzard planning changes to Overwatch 2 Battle Passes with future seasons
Blizzard is changing how the season passes will work going forward in Overwatch 2.
In a blog post on the official website, the game’s executive producer Jared Neuss acknowledged the change to a free-to-play model “has been a big shift,” with the new business model and new systems for unlocking heroes and getting new skins.
According to Neuss, like players, Blizzard isn’t “completely satisfied with how everything feels right now,” and it is working on making upcoming seasons “more rewarding.”
I was left horrified after my baby son was misdiagnosed – I started planning his funeral
A MUM has revealed that she got as far a planning her baby’s funeral after a horrifying misdiagnosis landed him in A&E.
Tara Colvin, from Tonbridge, Kent, rushed three-week-old son Albie to hospital after he turned “purple”, as she was told to prepare for the worst.

Tara had first taken the young boy to the doctor the day before after she noticed he “sounded a bit chesty”.
The GP reportedly gave her some saline drops and told her it would clear up, only for Albie to end up in hospital that night.
She told Kent Live: “I saw doctors at half past four in the afternoon and by half past 11 the following morning I’m at Pembury Hospital A&E because he’s purple and going blue around the mouth.
“His oxygen levels were dangerously low and he was put straight onto oxygen.

“Within 10 minutes of being at the hospital he’s admitted to a ward. They checked his chest and he had a crackle on his chest.
“It turned out he had bronchitis.”
Tara was apparently told to “prepare herself” for him to be intubated and hooked up to life support machines, which left her “arranging [Albie’s] funeral”.
The distraught mum described the ordeal as “heartbreaking” and “traumatic” and thanked her friends and family for supporting her through it, including her best friend who stayed with her the whole time.

She added: “It was bad enough after his birth, I was diagnosed with post-natal depression so to have to deal with that on top.
“I’m terrified to go to sleep at night now. I have nightmares seeing him hooked up to all these machines.
“Just the fact of not knowing whether my son was going to die. It was absolutely heart-wrenching.”
Her two other children, aged six and 10, had to stay with their grandad and missed out on half-term plans.
Tara said that it had “really affected” the children, one of whom has autism and ADHD, adding: “They cried every night I was in hospital when they thought their brother was going to die.”
Thankfully, Albie has now made a “big turnaround with antibiotics” and is getting better.
His mum praised the doctors for their hard work, saying: “I owe the hospital my son’s life. I cannot fault the doctors and the nurses at that hospital.
“They did an amazing job in getting my son well again.”
However, she has written a letter of complaint to the GP surgery, which she says is yet to provide a response.
She said: “If it was a first-time mum who doesn’t know what sort of signs to look for they could end up waking up to a dead baby. It’s just horrendous.”

A spokesperson for the practice told Kent Live that they could not comment on the matter due to its duty of confidentiality, but added they were sorry to hear about the complaints raised.
They also reportedly pointed to the practice’s complaints procedure.

Facebook parent Meta planning major layoffs this week – WSJ
Meta’s reportedly planning to lay off ‘thousands’ of workers this week
Meta’s planning major job cuts that could affect “thousands” of workers, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal. Sources familiar with the situation told the WSJ that the layoffs could begin as soon as Wednesday.
The Facebook and Instagram parent company reported over 87,000 employees at the end of September, but these “large-scale” layoffs are expected to slash a significant portion of staff members.

Elon Musk Planning Vine Reboot After Twitter Acquisition
Twitter acquired video app Vine back in 2012, which was pre-TikTok and back when Vine was popular. The app slowly stopped being used, and Twitter ended up shutting it down in 2016. Vine was designed to let users capture and share six-second looping video clips.
A rebooted version of Vine could compete with popular video app TikTok. Twitter engineers have been told to examine the Vine code base, which has not been changed since it was shut down. One source told Axios that it “needs a lot of work.”
Musk completed his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter on Friday, instating himself as CEO and firing multiple top executives including prior CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal, and policy lead Vijaya Gadde, among others. Musk also got rid of the board of directors, and is now Twitter’s sole director.
There have been multiple rumors about Musk’s plans for Twitter since the takeover, and it has been suggested that he is going to make significant cuts to Twitter’s workforce. This morning, rumors indicated that Musk plans to charge $20 per month for a verified account, which has yet to be confirmed.
