  • Edward_Kenny The Irish Pirate (@Edward_Kenny) reported

    @IGN I have seen YouTube videos where they attack Blizzard and Overwatch 2, but did not say anything about the DDOS attack.

  • MarkPl08 IMark 🏳️‍🌈 (@MarkPl08) reported

    @Piccadally At this point it became a meme… Every WoW expansion, Diablo games, now Overwatch… You’d think Blizzard (out of all companies) would invest more money into their servers, but nah I’m shocked that some people are still surprised by them having problems with servers lol

  • stewi_209 Tim (@stewi_209) reported

    God bless whoever let Dva say "skill issue" that's the best part of Overwatch 2 so far

  • MattAaronHarper Matthew Harper (@MattAaronHarper) reported

    I finally made it into Overwatch 2! ... for about two minutes, then got another server error.

  • kozumpi lynn (@kozumpi) reported

    did anyone ever find out how to fix the ******* unable to log you in issue for overwatch 2, cos now i have that issue for no ****** reason and it will not let me in at all

  • dogfanluver dog fan luver (@dogfanluver) reported

    Among us devs would fix their servers faster than this Overwatch 2 bullshit… Y’all could learn a thing or two from them @PlayOverwatch Feeling: 🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • chaosezy kc (@chaosezy) reported

    blizzard should replace all the overwatch characters with scout from tf2 maybe that will fix the servers

  • LoneWolf_Rave 𝙻𝚘𝚗𝚎𝚆𝚘𝚕𝚏𝚁𝚊𝚟𝚎 (@LoneWolf_Rave) reported

    @FizzyBizzz PREACH! For i even said the same thing it's too soon for overwatch 2 but hey thanks to the fans who wanted it RUSHED RUSHED RUSHED! Got what they wanted a broken A********* game with loss of skins and all that we grinded for give us our money back @BlizzardCS

  • Religious4Pizza Unknown User (@Religious4Pizza) reported

    @TheActMan_YT You don't have to login into your Overwatch account! It is another bug that happens before putting you back into a queue again. Even if entered right, you are back in the queue again!

  • TomSweeneyINC Sweeney the silly Spook (@TomSweeneyINC) reported

    Am I the only person who account merge is not working for in Overwatch 2

  • _tekoa ᴛᴋ 🥸. (@_tekoa) reported

    i love overwatch and blizzard as a whole but ow2 wasnt ready for release. i understand that there is millions of people trying to log on at once but there are lots of errors and bugs, we could've waited a little longer no matter if the comm would've been disappointed or not.

  • pthehooper HinoKami_Yami (@pthehooper) reported

    When are they going to fix overwatch 2 @SavinTheBees

  • ParallaxZSS Parallax (@ParallaxZSS) reported

    I tried playing Overwatch 2 but I just keep getting a windows error every time I try to launch the game. I’ve tried everything I can think of aside from reinstalling windows itself. Anyone have a similar issue?

  • Viking96gnikiV Yeet (@Viking96gnikiV) reported

    @PlayOverwatch didn't yall promise to communicate more with ur fans and all? Where are the updates on OW2 and all the problems? #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

  • ragingrox Future In Debt Nurse (@ragingrox) reported

    @TheActMan_YT Prolly should've kept the overwatch 1 servers up at least one week it's so stupid because most Activision games have issues first week it's released

  • Lord_zane__ zane (@Lord_zane__) reported

    @PlayOverwatch waited years for this game took overwatch 1 offline for 4 days to prepare, still somehow ****** it up can’t play in my main account bc of phone number issues can’t change my number so can’t play the game?? Easily the most embarrassing game launch ever #Overwatch2

  • Pain_HQ_ Pain (@Pain_HQ_) reported

    @VFDGoblin @PandaFights2Win Well closed betas are well, closed cause of stability checks. I’m pretty sure they’ll be releasing an open beta soon to review that stability with a wider audience not just because, otherwise it has a chance of the game not working at release like our friend overwatch 2 just now.

  • OuraniaRGN Reagan🏳️‍🌈 (@OuraniaRGN) reported

    @DemShenanigans I agree that people should be held accountable but both things should be occurring?? People should calm ******** down and not threaten people literally just working to fix the game AND overwatch should be providing updates. It’s that simple

  • possessed_ow possessed (@possessed_ow) reported

    “Player is in a different version of Overwatch” has gotta be the dummest glitch of all time

  • Scarlet5421 Scarlet5421 (@Scarlet5421) reported

    @OverwatchFR @BlizzardCSEU_FR Its sadge i would play with my friend i would grind battle pass like streamer but i just w8 sadge the game look so good :3 hope they bug was fix quickly 🫶

  • SonderInTheCar Ha. (@SonderInTheCar) reported

    Like I expected issues. But nothing said after 15+ hrs? But you can post about skins on the Overwatch League insta? @PlayOverwatch really just wants to kill a game that was dead on arrival even more. Not to mention the phone number requirement which turned many people away.

  • Handsome_Jake_ Tribune of the Plebs (@Handsome_Jake_) reported

    @AdamRosenbucket Well my laptop/PC at the time was over 4 years old. It wasn’t exactly a powerhouse. Oh no Overwatch’s is way beyond the ddos issue. They also screwed up the console merging. My Xbox can’t get in and the one time it did I didn’t have access to any of my characters lmao.
