Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • SnackCanary Snack Garland (@SnackCanary) reported

    People have no problem hyping Diablo so Overwatch will probably be back in semi full force.

  • tanisthelesbiab tanis 🏳️‍⚧️🇮🇹 (@tanisthelesbiab) reported

    blizzard finally fixed the issue where you have to give them money to play overwatch

  • dashiellwood dash (@dashiellwood) reported

    October is not enough time to fix what I saw of Overwatch 2’s balance issues lmao

  • SlavShock SlavShock (@SlavShock) reported

    Overwatch 2 FREE to Play is amazing, but they just need to make sure they change some things like: 1. Level requirements increased from 25 to 50 or more 2. Fix their Report system so it's not abused 3. way better Cheater tracker cause with F2P there is gona be loads of them.

  • Tanookris #BLM | ※🇺🇦Chris!🏳️‍🌈※ (@Tanookris) reported

    I cannot stress enough that supporting Overwatch 2 is still supporting the cycle of abuse and mismanagement at ActiBlizz. Don’t become part of the problem.

  • StLeggu Lauren 🏳️‍🌈 (@StLeggu) reported

    @KohlsWrld idk if i can get back into it honestly they busted ******** out the game and idk if overwatch 2 will fix it

  • Hekvetica Ellis Smith (@Hekvetica) reported

    Do people still care about Overwatch? Did anyone ever care about Overwatch 2? I will never understand making sequels to "Live Service games"...Isn't the whole ******* point that you don't make a sequel?

  • RocktWithAPockt skyward sword (@RocktWithAPockt) reported

    okay activision you got your overwatch in where is crash #XboxBethesda

  • RogueElementOW Brianna (@RogueElementOW) reported

    @Jamie_The_Nerd I loved the first beta of Overwatch 2. Knowing when the game is coming out. That it's F2P, getting a live service support and knowing the next 2 heroes. I couldn't ask for more.

  • Blueknight_V2 Blueknight V2.0 (@Blueknight_V2) reported

    Alright, so Overwatch 2 was at the Xbox Showcase. Soo...Crash Wumpa League might be possible..???

  • TheLegendaryBe1 Fuzzbutt the cat #Vtuber #cat #worlddomination (@TheLegendaryBe1) reported

    Waking up to some, news today. Persona on PC, I am hype~ Overwatch 2 in October: I like. It's free to play, live service. It's still Actiblizz. Oh well, at least we get Persona.

  • Mr_Outofideas Null (@Mr_Outofideas) reported

    @mxttyLL @ImaBigTurtle1 @_Tom_Henderson_ It's not but still Overwatch is still not like because I understand the community but Xbox fanboys don't understand the issues of the game

  • I_AM_CR0W Brandon "CR0W" Garcia (@I_AM_CR0W) reported

    @ChiefOfBcrk @geoffkeighley Either way, the Halo community got screwed over from F2P. I doubt Overwatch is gonna have the same problem.

  • DeMomcalypse deMom.TV #BLM 💜🍅🔞 🏳️‍⚧️ (@DeMomcalypse) reported

    I wanna go on record of saying the first Overwatch also should have been F2P, or at least made F2P later. It's such a weird bar of entry for a online-only PVP game to charge $40, especially when console users also needed to pay that + their online service

  • CoffeeCaked Cakes (POST-STORMBLOOD) (@CoffeeCaked) reported

    overwatch 2 is a live service free to play game i hope you guys don't get 343'd 🫡

  • SkeleMann SkeleMann (@SkeleMann) reported

    Overwatch 2 news looks dope as **** But I already have problems with smurfs, I hope there is something more in place to make it less frustrating

  • Genie_93 Kieran (@Genie_93) reported

    The problem with Overwatch is I dislike the game but I enjoy playing it a lot! So that obviously means I'm going to put a lot of hours into Overwatch 2 in October #XboxBethesda

  • Blueknight_V2 Blueknight V2.0 (@Blueknight_V2) reported

    Okay, wasn't expecting Activision/Blizzard was going to have such a presence during the #XboxBethesda Showcase. But in addition to Overwatch 2, these are both Blizzard games. Not from Activision's side. Soo...not getting too much hope Crash Bandicoot will be there.

  • Dookie3000 ****** Howser (2022 Version) (@Dookie3000) reported

    Redfall looks like what would happen if they made an Overwatch campaign with vampires. Cringe NPC dialogue and all. Realising 'Day One on Gamepass' is just shorthand for 'This game wouldn't sell well if it wasn't on a subscription streaming service. #XboxBethesda

  • rockisinfinite rock | del fan account (@rockisinfinite) reported

    No because there was no reason for Overwatch 2 to not be free to play with how it’s BEEN set up. It’s been a live service game since day 1

  • Ikiry0 Ikiry0 (@Ikiry0) reported

    @Nash076 ...I know it's not the main issue but man, I'm really getting tired of Overwatch's depiction of Australia as 'Mad Max Land'. It's really dull/cliche. Also now it seems like Australia doesn't seem to actually have any...actual Aboriginal Australians.

  • DrakeCove Drake LeBlanc (@DrakeCove) reported

    You know what's funny? In Crash IAT, Bobby redesigned Crash in a way that made him look more like a bandicoot and less like a fox... Then just forgot to do the same with Coco and made her a cat, after that Tawna became an Overwatch character

  • InfinitySor625 James Fagan (@InfinitySor625) reported

    Sorry, not sorry, #Overwatch going Free To Play is without a doubt one of the dumbest decisions ever made and will only make the thrower problem in the game worse. For all those on console, like myself, it’s nothing new but to PC players, be happy now. Can’t wait for the whining

  • chickenpotpiess Chris🌻 (@chickenpotpiess) reported

    I wanna get HYPED for the new Overwatch but I have no confidence whatsoever that the community will be better next time around. The gameplay (occasional nerfs needed) has never been the problem.

  • BergmanZachary Backary Zergman (@BergmanZachary) reported

    @legbonejones @MissDeusGeek @Xbox I smell horseshi... Oh, yeah.. a Sony pony. Makes a lot of sense now. Keep whinnying, and maybe you just won't get your sugarcube of a game every so often that'll get overshadowed by a third party game. Feels, bad No crash, no Spyro, no more new cod, no overwatch. No valorant.

  • 2Spookyish Sara (@2Spookyish) reported

    Any bit of overwatch news I instinctually think is a parody tweet. This company has broken my brain to an unrepairable extent

  • Zonino2000 Zonino (@Zonino2000) reported

    >Overwatch 2 is Free to play live service. Haha uh oh.

  • SickinatorD Damon (@SickinatorD) reported

    @Me_Be_Gabu @hiimhotpocket my biggest personal issue with overwatch recently is the lack of new content so with ow2 actually coming out they can finally start releasing new content which is a reason why i’m excited

  • tomathius tomathius #freepetey (@tomathius) reported

    I hope Crash fans like Overwatch

  • That_1_Guy_AG17 Goddess Rosana (@That_1_Guy_AG17) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I'm confused on the wording so to redeem we must login on 12/05/2022 or before on the day of the release of Overwatch 2 on the 4th ???
