@LAKingsFan48 All being well it will be a great Overwatch 2 weekend!! At least they're being open and communicating! If OW1 is anything to go by, we won't have these issues for very long at all.

Okay, sorry but like, I enjoy playing overwatch 2 but I was stuck in a queue for 40 MINUTES, and then they turn around and say "Nah, you lost connection", and it sends me to the start again, with 2000 PLAYERS AHEAD?! ******* fix your severs, please. #Overwatch2

From what I understand, the servers going down tonight is a better way for Overwatch to quickly add server capacity to the game (the only real way to combat DDOS attacks). I'm bummed I can't play tonight, but a few hours of downtime is better than scuffed queues.

@PlayOverwatch years to prepare for launch. 3 days to get my stuff just waited for 1hr+ to login, 30 seconds in match, disconnected. Now even longer queue. That's what I call this reskin, Overwatch Queue.

How to skip the queue in Overwatch 2 1. Next to Play Overwatch click the gear icon. 2. Change the servers to Asia 3. Skip queue :) No low ping or issues.

i played a lot of Overwatch, somewhere in the 200 hours range. This game is fundamentally flawed, and they have not changed at all with this sequel. It's fun, I don't regret any time spent with it but you could fill a book with all the cursed problems in that game's design

@aalaskaa @PlayOverwatch And im stating that it isn't peak time for overwatch. Most of Europe is asleep at that time and Asia is pretty much waking up. So it's the best possible time for them to shut the servers down.

@DpsDeku Overwatch 2 feels like this: One of the developers gave the go-ahead on 5v5 to solve the balance issue, found that it didn't work but, because we've been waiting long enough, decided to go ahead with it and piggyback off of it which led to multiple terrible decisions.

overwatch 2 as a whole is worse than overwatch 1, the content seems cool but god damn does it have mtx and progression problems

Ok…. Apparently I don’t have any of the skins I had on Overwatch available on Overwatch 2 (I didn’t have this issue on the beta), I have to start from the beginning. Also, I tried with the merge account option on the main menu, but it isn’t working. I want to cry. 🥲

@PlayOverwatch I feel it’s more than just the login it’s the whole game itself having to re-earn all the skins we had in overwatch 1 is ridiculous.

Overwatch players are so stupid You complain about login issues, merge issues, etc... They tell you what they need to do in order to fix them and still complain. You guys are so unaware of how things actually work in the world.
