  • Kneeckoh_Gaming Kneeckoh Gaming (@Kneeckoh_Gaming) reported

    @SheepB0T Again, rebranding as Overwatch 2 and going free to play with improved next gen graphics will bring in more players than "relaunching" Overwatch 1 ever would. The stability issues you are facing is a hardware issue, not a game issue.

  • Guilat_ Gui (@Guilat_) reported

    @aaronkellerOW @Qwik there was a time yesterday that I managed to play overwatch 2 then there was the problem of before now it's giving a different error he says we're sorry, but your login was not possible. Try again later. (BC-153)

  • mjv_2000 Marquis_Geeks (@mjv_2000) reported

    @Qwik Can y’all fix the damn Overwatch 2 first.

  • LowKeyLuckyLoki Løki (@LowKeyLuckyLoki) reported

    Overwatch is still somehow not working, but now o have a pre-queue queue. I literally have to queue just to get into the queue. And at the end of that queue, I disconnect from server. It’s sick.

  • zoemaryfaye ًzoe ✿ (@zoemaryfaye) reported

  • ImJustAngel_ttv Angel (@ImJustAngel_ttv) reported

    Im really thinking about looking for a friend from US who can lend me their phone number to play Overwatch 2 while Blizzard fix my issue cause I can't wait one more day to play it 🥺

  • kawaii_aprilpie Abril (@kawaii_aprilpie) reported

    Overwatch 2 is so broken, this morning i had every character unlocked, now it says i gotta unlock them, Just bring back ow1 until you can deliver a fully functional game

  • woahwinwin Lexi 🐷 (@woahwinwin) reported

    anyone else have the problem that characters aren’t unlocked even though you had overwatch 1? I played for 2 hours fine then I got kicked and now characters are locked :/ #Overwatch2

  • mousepounce Mufin (@mousepounce) reported

    Overwatch 2 long *** broken queue, server errors, and all the other countless problems within this launch really does kill the hype. 🙄

  • DerrickFarbes Dr_KazoWho (@DerrickFarbes) reported

    @Qwik Hey 21 hours later and overwatch 2 is still getting " ddos ". Lol got anymore excuses

  • archangelucy ADV-Lucifer1211 (@archangelucy) reported

    @PlayOverwatch im sorry your getting so much hate for a ddos attack that was out of your control and soooo many new players overwatch 2 is an amazing game but bad luck on launch day

  • doctordefiant69 doctor defiant (@doctordefiant69) reported

    OverWatch 2 is appeared to fix their service we'll find out today on the stream

  • Byo_Rin Byo Rin 🐰️‍🔥 ENPNGVTuber (@Byo_Rin) reported

    Overwatch 2 has been downloaded.. 😬Hopefully stream doesn't lag like during beta

  • MisterAppleMan Man (@MisterAppleMan) reported

    it's ******* crazy to me that the expected launch for a game nowadays is that it's going to be a broken mess for the first few days. Overwatch 2 was announced in 2019, it's ******* INSANE that it took them 3 years to create this garbage and then they absolutely ****** the launch.

  • me0wsme0w Spooky Me0w (@me0wsme0w) reported

    Hey mista ddos mans can you pweeze stop ruining Overwatch 2. I just wanna play the game... thankies.

  • AidenAashtyn AidenAashtyn (@AidenAashtyn) reported

    @BlizzardCS I try to put my number onto my account bc apparently that is a new thing for overwatch 2 even tho it wasn't needed in overwatch 1. I get the error that says please enter a post-paid phone number. What the f*ck does that even mean?

  • Skuzz0 Skuzz (@Skuzz0) reported

    Overwatch fix your game

  • GregsonJP Gregson Partridge (@GregsonJP) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I figured out the watchpoint issue, but why must I unlock all the characters when I've played since day one of overwatch?

  • Birdshifter Crowshifter (@Birdshifter) reported

    Overwatch has been everything I expected which wasn't much. As soon as my friends are done playing it's going straight back in the trash. Biggest issue are the player base imo for every 1 good match you have 5 matches of people screaming or being aggressive about how you play.

  • Ms5000Watts Ms5000Watts (@Ms5000Watts) reported

    @Sdwerd @Vespy89 I played for a few hours yesterday with jumping server regions. Ultimately I don’t love it because it has all the issues of Overwatch 1 but I want to keep playing and see how I feel over a longer period.

  • SprinklezNeon NeonSprinklez (@SprinklezNeon) reported

    I won't be able to stream today guys, Overwatch lets me in and Kicks me too many times. I'll be back to stream on Friday a different game if OW2 is still not working

  • KatasioYT KAT (@KatasioYT) reported

    Overwatch won't let me login, all I have wanted to do is play the damn game

  • CrisWoody11 Chris Flores 🥀 (@CrisWoody11) reported

    @Qwik Fix Overwatch in Console pls 🥲🥲🥲

  • Paravilintiniay 💫 April 💫 (@Paravilintiniay) reported

    I find it so incredibly hard to believe anyone actually cared enough to ddos overwatch 2 release and there’s no way this isn’t just blizzard dropping the ball and not having good enough servers for the influx of people + account merging

  • KindleButt Kindle Butt (@KindleButt) reported

    I'm literally about to just give up on Overwatch 2. If they are having this many issues connecting people to servers they should have kept it as two separate games. People probably got more gameplay out of it from the beta than the actual release. 👀 #Overwatch2

  • YeensRetrowave Dashing Through The Waves 🐺🌑 (@YeensRetrowave) reported

    so.. 85% of people currently trying to play Overwatch 2 are still unable to login to the game over 24 Hours later. right-
