  • ImSpider14 Spider (Check Bio) (@ImSpider14) reported

    I just played overwatch for a solid 4 hrs with no disconnect, thats streak just ended tho

  • Roadkill_xx Roadkill (@Roadkill_xx) reported

    Yo @PlayOverwatch, why is it that, despite me gaining almost 400 levels in overwatch 1, I have none of the characters unlocked? Fix your ****.

  • UltimateMaker90 Maker (@UltimateMaker90) reported

    @SteveRogers1943 Anyone with a prepaid phone service like boost, mobile or cricket, wireless or anything that doesn’t sign you into a yearly contract is not accessible to overwatch 2

  • mroberts5806 Matthew Roberts (@mroberts5806) reported

    Overwatch 2. Oh my god this game is not fair, they put the HEROES in the BATTLEPASS, if you don’t see an issue with this, to put it simply, heroes are at different levels of power, and to put it even simpler, heroes are more powerful than one another, so it’s pay to win.

  • A_Pizza_slut Pizzaslut (@A_Pizza_slut) reported

    y'all stop getting mad at overwatch 2 being down, they got DDoS'd and so their servers are pretty ****** at the moment, give it a few hours at least, and a few days at most

  • Kusafoxy Cody D (@Kusafoxy) reported

    I uninstalled Overwatch 2. Forget your "DDOS attack" BS. You had every chance to be prepared and you weren't. That was it.

  • TheSalt360 thesalt 360 (@TheSalt360) reported

    @OnlyAtPizzaHut @DokkanAssets That's because u didnt get anything but 1, thats skill and money issues, and since u basically almost didnt get anything u call it bad, and call the game bad aswell, when it basically reached almost 8 years, it even outlasted overwatch 1, cry bout it

  • Bdestinys MUZIKKZONEPROMOQUEEN (@Bdestinys) reported

  • MostRandomUserr Random User (@MostRandomUserr) reported

    I think the Overwatch 2 devs fixed some of their problems - just got a popup in-game about merging my old PS4 Overwatch 1 account into the new one.

  • yofknzah Maria Folaus fake Yeezys (@yofknzah) reported

  • nickemccurdy Nick McCurdy (@nickemccurdy) reported

    Overwatch 2 is going great… 20 minutes in login queue for a game I purchased, then my first game crashed and I got put back in queue

  • kvvoya kvvoya (@kvvoya) reported

    @mostsmartestgrl r/overwatch is pretty crazy too, we can't log in because of DDOS attack on the servers 😢

  • ussbutterscotxh sam⛓ (@ussbutterscotxh) reported

    was extremely excited about overwatch 2 but now i’m just angry and disappointed, i’ve literally been in queue for it since 3pm, it’s almost midnight, and i haven’t gotten into the game once i keep getting error codes or getting pushed back all the way to 40000 people in the queue

  • desaroo1522 Ժҽsɑɾօօ (@desaroo1522) reported

    I haven’t even played a single game yet and I already have a problem with Overwatch 2….😞

  • Pettan_Enjoyer Justin iZ Here (@Pettan_Enjoyer) reported

    @takami554 loot boxes are....fun in moderation. I personally never had issues with lootboxes in Overwatch but I do get the people who did. I ******* hate battle passes with a passion because they basically force you to play the game and actively punish you if you dont.

  • lllHorizonlll Horizon (@lllHorizonlll) reported

    Overwatch 2 really does have broken servers today

  • OctaneVROW Octane (@OctaneVROW) reported

    @rabbitofanime @Xbox Not much can be done tbh blizzard suffered a DDOS attack right as overwatch launched, the devs are as annoyed as everyone else

  • demonbbxxx 🖤Demonbb🖤 (@demonbbxxx) reported

    I haven’t been able to play overwatch 2 at all today cuz of the “40000” players ahead of me in queue 😪 Pls fix this soon!!! #Overwatch #Overwatch2 #Blizzard

  • aaronconpollo2 aaron_con_pollo (@aaronconpollo2) reported

    @JakeSucky @TheeBeanSupreme maybe if we had Overwatch 3 this wouldn’t be a problem

  • Xotic16 John (@Xotic16) reported

    Are overwatch servers still broken

  • wistfulfast Marco (@wistfulfast) reported

    @BlizzardCS Any update on when the error on being able to log into Overwatch 2 will be fixed?

  • Haider83207270 Haider (@Haider83207270) reported

    @SamitoFPS I bought the watch point pack and it’s not showing up I feel so scammed bro. Idk if free to play was the right move because non of this stuff happened in overwatch 1. Terrible launch for overwatch 2 hopefully the devs fix all the bugs and server issues soon.

  • jefferson_tibbs Jefferson tibbs (@jefferson_tibbs) reported

    @BlizzardCS @BlizzardCSEU_EN Any news on these overwatch 2 sever issues? 9 hours in and I've managed less than a handful of games 😭😭

  • dumbkaeya Kei ❄️🔥 (@dumbkaeya) reported

  • speed_smile SmileOnSpeedDial (@speed_smile) reported

    @Dooface2 I think its a lack of being able to spin up the hardware like AWS can since the last knoweldge of the architecture I know is blizzard using "Blades" for realms on WoW, no idea how they run Overwatch or their Login Servers :')

  • Psyycore Lactation machine (@Psyycore) reported
