  • Emma31129552 Hollow knight fan (@Emma31129552) reported

    Overwatch 2 is still broken #bringBackKaplan

  • TheRealTawlest Tawlest (@TheRealTawlest) reported

    It was me, I DDOS'd the Overwatch 2 Servers. They didn't add me as a playable character in the game, so they forced my hand.

  • Shadow_DW2 Shadowtrooper262 (Open for art commissions) (@Shadow_DW2) reported

    @MsRabbitsy I heard Overwatch 2 recently had a DDOS attack. I know how much that sucks. It has happened to a game I still play before recently.

  • SAYM3DIC Liam (@SAYM3DIC) reported

    @Gale_Adelade I agree, the UI in Overwatch was minimal and only showed the information you needed, now in Overwatch 2 it was over engineered for problems that did not exist, i.e. just look at new Mercy UI, it is very distracting.

  • icze4r Margaret Gel (@icze4r) reported

    The problem with all technology here is that human beings use it When OverWatch came out, at first, the game play was fresh. people didn't know the meta yet. now, OverWatch 2 has come out, nothing is really changed; the game has started out toxic because everybody knows the meta

  • PunishedNev Nev (@PunishedNev) reported

    If after the Overwatch 2 issues settle, i still don't have access to my cosmetics from 5 years of the game and all that money spent, I'm finally dropping Overwatch full stop. And I'll be free at last.

  • hockeyspaz62 H🎮CKEYSPAZ62🇺🇸 (@hockeyspaz62) reported

    @aaronkellerOW @PlayOverwatch I finally got on to #Overwatch2 No Battlepass that I purchased and all of my 138,000 plus coins that were on OW1 are missing. And my 800 OWL credits. Seriously fix #Overwatch

  • xChrisMatthewsx Chris Matthews (@xChrisMatthewsx) reported

    Bought the overwatch watch point and my battlepass isn’t unlocked. This a known glitch right now?

  • iiWearFlipFlops Emmett 🌐 (@iiWearFlipFlops) reported

    @BlizzardCS I updated overwatch on my xbox and now i lost all my levels and says i am a brand new player. How do i fix this

  • InsightRewrite J○$H 🎃\HIGH ON SPOOKS (@InsightRewrite) reported

    It really sucks that Overwatch 1 isn't playable anymore due to Blizzard shutting the servers down, Overwatch 2 so far has been real messy.

  • CalebGregory21 Caleb Gregory (@CalebGregory21) reported

    Who screwed up the overwatch 2 launch? It’s completely unplayable can’t log in at all not yesterday or today #Overwatch2 @Blizzard_Ent please fix it

  • ambozetious__ Mel 🌞 (@ambozetious__) reported

    Overwatch 2 had two DDoS attacks in less than 24 hours 🙃

  • Vulffee Linny (Commissions: Open) (@Vulffee) reported

    Don't play Overwatch 2. Not only is it made by a terrible company but the game is super broken.

  • TheShow0203 Chandler Knapp (Oni) (@TheShow0203) reported

    Are the overwatch servers still not working for some? I go from being 2 in que too 20,000

  • MattSavino1 Matt Savino (@MattSavino1) reported

    @BlizzardCS I’ve been playing overwatch since the first one. Why is it that all my skins aren’t unlocked and I can’t play competitive mode. You need to fix this asap

  • FizzVsTheWorld Michael Scally 🌈✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽 (@FizzVsTheWorld) reported

    I'll laugh so goddamn hard if Overwatch 2's queue issues causes Paladins to trend... #FizzVsGaming

  • brianmwise Brian M. Wise (@brianmwise) reported

    I should not find the fact that Overwatch 2 got DDOSed as funny as I do. I loved Overwatch. It got me through a pretty rough patch with a broken foot and a few other issues. Great escape. But the human cost on the development side got too hard to ignore. So I quit playing.

  • twicestan2900 アメリカ人 (@twicestan2900) reported

    @PlayOverwatch why did my friend get into overwatch 2 before i did even though i waited longer fix it. NOW.

  • niceassbr0 niceassbr0 (@niceassbr0) reported

    @BlizzardCS absolutely ridiculous that since im a cricket customer i cant play your game. ive tried contacting yall about a full refund of my $60 i spent on overwatch 1, ive been playing the game since launch and now im locked out of a FREE game unless i pay for $200 phone service.

  • RyanMatlock Ryan Matlock (@RyanMatlock) reported

    Loving Overwatch 2. Sombra needs to be nerfed tho. Not a fan of her new DDoS ability.

  • donteo505 Toal Blightblood 🔞 (@donteo505) reported

    @BitchAssBowie Aight I mean, Blizzard hate and all that but...Overwatch 2 still fun as **** to play. The SMS issues will be fixed since the problem is actually coming from phone provider side not Blizzard ( cricket and metro pcs block them) and

  • nemurenai_kai Kai 😷 Chibi Drawer Arc【Vtuber】 (@nemurenai_kai) reported

    As announced previously, CC's internet is still poopoo this week, so she won't be joining us for our usual Wednesday stream. With that being said, we'll be looking for something else for tonight, which probably won't be Overwatch 2, given the plethora of login issues rn.

  • Dankosaurlol Dankosaurr (@Dankosaurlol) reported

    The sad thing is besides taking 12 hours to load into servers and still dealing with being unable to merge my skins, Overwatch 2 is still really fun. The game launch deserved so much better than this DDoS

  • ZavalasForehead Jason (@ZavalasForehead) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Hey so when I launched overwatch 2 today nothing and I mean nothing was in my account, my levels, my play time, cosmetics, etc. even though I made a battle eye account last year for my account. I play on Xbox and I want to play but I don’t know what the problem is!

  • ItsNicoN NicoN (@ItsNicoN) reported

    @John_Geordie94 @SrKrokVT *re-queuing glitch in Overwatch 2, 300 IQ move* 👀

  • Mixer_07 Mixie (@Mixer_07) reported

    @CricketSupport hey so I'm trying to connect my phone for overwatch but it's saying I'm having issues connecting it, I tried dming you guys for help

  • Masked_PlayerX PlayerX (@Masked_PlayerX) reported

    @Papachubz And all that makes this ok somehow??? Look man I love overwatch too, but this isn't the time to be defensive. This is a big problem with bare minimum communication. 2 tweets in 20 hours? No estimated down time. Smfh.
