    @BlizzardCS when will the error messages when logging in be fixed for overwatch 2? Been trying to play for 24hrs and can’t even get into one single match 🙄

  • icyfIames jay (@icyfIames) reported

    @kissesforaki Overwatch 2 😭 apparently their servers got ddos’d so they’re down bad

  • 2Tall1992 Justin Dixon (@2Tall1992) reported

    @OverwatchEU @BlizzardCSEU_EN We understand that you’re going to continue working on the issue, But I don’t think that’s enough. There’s been a lot of people who stood by overwatch, And waited for so long for this game to come out even after all the setbacks and the possibilities of this game not coming out.

  • Russell25589598 Russell (@Russell25589598) reported

    @Hbomberguy Overwatch 1, despite being fully paid, had a massive smurf problem. This is probably not a good solution, but it is not nonsensical.

  • ItzMeTek It's me Tek (@ItzMeTek) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I linked my account and still don't have my old stuff from overwatch, is this an issue I'm unaware of?

  • BLOOBlan Ian Himothy Michael (@BLOOBlan) reported

  • GreenZombie04 John Matthew (@GreenZombie04) reported

  • surefire1s SureFire1s (@surefire1s) reported

    pretty excited to be able to try out overwatch however ive been seeing alot of issues already so i guess we will see if we are able to get into any game.

  • WeAreAllJudges Phantom Beggar (@WeAreAllJudges) reported

    @grimupnorth365 Potato servers mate. They blame it on a ddos attack then go radio silent for a full day. I ain’t buying in on no battle pass, which is also crap, for this kind of service. Shame at 1st Overwatch was ace but they killed it off for this cash grab queue simulator.

  • MoIslam55802079 Mo Islam (@MoIslam55802079) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent hey can you fix your overwatch server? Why do I keep getting kicked out whilst I'm in game..

  • realrawspitter Realrawspitter (@realrawspitter) reported

  • TheOnlyJayke Jake (@TheOnlyJayke) reported

    So is Blizzard gonna compensate us for these DDoS attacks on Overwatch 2 if they keep happening?

  • Okiiden Spam account. // { 𝗕𝗥𝗢𝗟𝗬 ₚₕₐₛₑ } (@Okiiden) reported

    ITS BEEN A FULL DAY AND 3 HOURS AND I STILL CANT SIGN IN. EVERYONE ELSE AROUND ME IS SIGNED IN. WHAT ARE YOU DOING OVER THERE BLIZZARD. FIX OVERWATCH 2 ALREADY.

  • ZachLovesPandas Zach #gowturgang (@ZachLovesPandas) reported

    @BlizzardCS All my Overwatch 1 stuff is gone, all progress and skins. I merged my accounts for the beta and I had all my stuff in the beta. Is there a way to fix this? Also, do I have to wait for it to be fixed before playing? Will playing now essentially restart my account?

  • SwagFish03 Weenor Spooky Fish🐱🍅 (@SwagFish03) reported

    @JoJoJosiahAlt I love Overwatch and all, but I genuinely haven't seen a multiplayer game launch this bad ever Server issues + thousands of players not having their old progress is not a good look for Blizzard

  • Smash0913 Sam Ashleigh (@Smash0913) reported

    Overwatch 2 release has been a complete debacle so far.. still cant get a server to work. get down to a 20 person queue "error" and back to hundreds or thousands... Tough out here for the indie company Blizzard.
