  • tyz1009 🫧Tyler🫧| WRS Stan (@tyz1009) reported

    Normally id give a game the benefit of the doubt with first day launch issues but this game started development AS SOON AS OVERWATCH RELEASED and has minimal new content and is basically unplayable. And i cant even play OW 1 cuz they DELETED IT. great gaming practices all around

  • fern4ndoferrari Fernando Ferrari (@fern4ndoferrari) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent come on!!! Whats happening? I can't connect to overwatch 2 servers, please fix this

  • InsomniaVenom Im x Insomnia (@InsomniaVenom) reported

    Well Overwatch 2 is unplayable for me tonight … Queues. Server Errors

  • _Ezra_Kai Ezra (@_Ezra_Kai) reported

    So still no fix to this server issue? Ive been in queue for 7 hours now? Kinda annoyed @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

  • austinhaloman Austin (@austinhaloman) reported

    @BlizzardCS any updates on the overwatch login issue

  • maggiebuts Maggie Buts 💙 (@maggiebuts) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hello! Not sure if this is on the list for OW2 bugs, but I currently have no friends list and when my friends try to invite me they get an error "Player is in a different version of Overwatch"

  • WorstTwoQuinns Quinn but Again (@WorstTwoQuinns) reported

    Okay cool it's not just a me thing. Turns out if you have a phone with Cricket service you can't add your phone to your Battle net account and thus can't play overwatch two at all

  • mulletmarauder9 🎃mulletma-MulletMarauder-rauder9🎃 (@mulletmarauder9) reported

    I HAVE BEEN TRYING ALL DAY TO GET INTO OVERWATCH 2 AND ITS STILL GIVING ME A ERROR MESSAGE

  • ReapersGrim777 GrimReaper777 (@ReapersGrim777) reported

    Before. Why start now? I hope she doesn't really need one to sign in because she can't play and she's an overwatch vet and loves that game

  • eboysloveme slutforsooyoung (@eboysloveme) reported

    overwatch 2 on console in eu is literally unplayable, and blizzard isn't providing sufficient information with real time status and fix reports as they temporarily take down servers to fix them. this is such a messy launch.

  • Garrett_Hobson Gart (@Garrett_Hobson) reported

    @willwarr_ The problem with overwatch was that it wanted to have it both ways. They wanted it to be a fun shooter AND an esport out the gate, and because they wanted to force it to be an esport they made the game actively less fun for casual players (IE most players) over time

  • dunham_jaden ATM__JAY🦈 (@dunham_jaden) reported

    @BlizzardCS plz fix the game, servers have been live for 6 hours i have been in queue. i have yet to actually play 1 match of overwatch 2

  • __dustyangel__ d u s t y ;; (@__dustyangel__) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch This phone number protection step is unfair. I can’t play Overwatch 2 bc I have a Cricket phone number. I paid for Overwatch 1, but now I can’t even play that anymore either. This issue needs to be fixed, or I demand a refund.

  • CtrlAlex5 Alex (@CtrlAlex5) reported

    So I can’t play overwatch 2 bc I don’t have a post paid number???WTF @PlayOverwatch FIX THIS RIGHT ******* NOW U GUYS STOLED MY SKINS AND MONEY

  • captaincoolwolf Captaincoolwolf (@captaincoolwolf) reported

    Bro Overwatch 2 isn’t worth it man, I’ve been sitting here watching my sister trying to get on it and it’s taking her forever to even join a game, and the sad thing is she had to use our grandmas phone number to help her to be able to help her login #Overwatch2notworthit

  • NeoMcCreations NeoMc (@NeoMcCreations) reported

    I get that they just have to wait for this DDos attack to conclude, but it just sucks. I made so much extra time today for Overwatch 2 only to play queue simulator :/ #Overwatch2

  • ASadAssCipher Cipheress (@ASadAssCipher) reported

    @Cricketnation @PlayOverwatch Dang, guess I can't play Overwatch 2 because Blizzard doesn't recognize cricket as a real cell phone service provider and won't let their customers play their game. I can't play a game I care about because of my provider? That's stupid.

  • sealpai__ Sealpai (@sealpai__) reported

    Why am I not surprised Overwatch 2 is having so many issues already…

  • CheekClapington Cheek Clapington (@CheekClapington) reported

    @PlayOverwatch look, blame a ddos attack all you want but at the end of the day, the people reading this tweet and the overwatch pr team both know it was the managment team that had their thumbs in their asses intead of where they needed to be.

  • shangxin1975 botoxking (@shangxin1975) reported

    This is so bad that I might never even try to log in this peace of **** game ever again your not an indie dev there’s shouldn’t be any issue with TRYING TO PLAY YOUR GAME 6 HOURS AFTER RELEASE I’m done with overwatch #Blizzard

  • Drock6499 Drock64 (@Drock6499) reported

    Very sad to see the launch of Overwatch 2 plagued by DDOS attacks. Been trying to play for several hours and haven't been able to get in

  • Anastas69348455 Anastasia (@Anastas69348455) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent ******* idiots what did you expect when you made overwatch free of course someones gonna ****** ddos this ****

  • JoJoJoyfully JoJoJoy (@JoJoJoyfully) reported

    @Warcraft Actually *not* funny today - during massive DDOS attacks, not just in overwatch, but wow classic, as well…

  • Donnas_pet No I Won’t Explain (@Donnas_pet) reported

    Been playing overwatch since the first beta in 2016. I wish I could say I’m surprised at this but it’s blizzard. 7 hours later and servers are still down on release day? Embarrassing. Did you put all the money into ads and forgot about boosting the server size. ddos my ***🙄 #OW2
