  • CR7XVII Nazmy 🇵🇹 (@CR7XVII) reported

    @Xbox How about you tell blizzard to fix overwatch 2 servers

  • HollyrainM Shenpai (@HollyrainM) reported

    Overwatch 2 is so stupid why give us ONE day to merge and not announce it? I didn’t even know it was closing down till a day after it did. I had everything in ow1 from all cosmetics to golden guns to level like 987, and boom everything is gone now. I swear to god blizzard. Fix it

  • Hamskillet Hamskillet (@Hamskillet) reported

    So Overwatch 2 is absolutely fantastic gameplay wise. I am in love with the game all over again. However, these server issues are flat awful. 2 days later and we still have 30-40 min + Queues and disconnects mid match. I'd be fired at my job for the same server SLA.

  • Clayton_1004 Clayton (@Clayton_1004) reported

    honestly my experience with the Overwatch 2 launch has been so awful it makes me not want to play the game. Constant server errors logging me in and then hours of queue waiting time just makes me want to play something else lol. 10/10 experience tho when i do get to play lol

  • Artdepartment_ Artdepartment (@Artdepartment_) reported

    The only issue with Overwatch 2 is that now there are support characters who think they need to play DPS… Just us heal bro

  • Unicornkllr213 unicornkiller213 (@Unicornkllr213) reported

    I honestly haven’t been having a problem getting into Overwatch servers, but I feel bad for console players that have to sacrifice their first born to get into a match.

  • danmcCoy3 THE GREAT TOM CRUISE SHIP (@danmcCoy3) reported

    So its day 3 of the overwatch 2 DDOS attack. Im currently live streaming the que screen.

  • FallenJoran Joseph Foran (@FallenJoran) reported

    Let me vent my first world problems. First, God dammit, Overwatch 2 queues from DDOS attacks and locking out players with prepaid phones. Activision Blizzard, you have WoW, a mmo, that has servers that work (I assume), so what the hell's up with a moba game not working?😑

  • jeyjey98525575 ROX (@jeyjey98525575) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN sorry to bother, but if i disconnect my xbox account from my blizzard account to try to fix the error i keep getting, will it affect the merge of my stuff being transferred over to overwatch 2??

  • wavtor Gavin Murray (@wavtor) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent sort your overwatch 2. Login severs I just qued for 500 and then got in and kicked straight away to have to que for 600

  • smokecampzel Big Zel (@smokecampzel) reported

    I dont get how yall are playing overwatch 2. After a wait an hour in que, it makes me sign in and then it restarts the game and puts me back in que , Ive done this twice now 😕 @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch2

  • tj_sujeski tj (@tj_sujeski) reported

    I’m still getting log in errors and I haven’t been able to even see the main menu on overwatch 2 #overwatch

  • DarkFirebrand Cryptic Cryptek (@DarkFirebrand) reported

    what's more likely, blizz assuming their fans are such hopeless overwatch addicts that they can abuse them, or just that blizz are trying to crash ow's fandom.

  • HikuAzn Hiku (@HikuAzn) reported

    @HenrikhWolf There's no problem, just expressing my thoughts on Overwatch 2 teamkill and Overwatch 1 teamkill

  • TexasRed1094 Trevor (@TexasRed1094) reported

    DUDE WHY ******** CANT I LOG IN TO OVERWATCH. IVE TRIED ON PC, XBOX, AND PS5 AND STILL ERROR AFTER ERROR. I SEE A **** TON OF OTHER PEOPLE GETTING IN AND SAYING IT TAKES LIKE 30 MINUTES BUT IVE BEEN HERE FOR 4 HOURS. I JUST WANNA PLAY WITH MY FRIENDS

  • ImNotAMercyMain Name cannot be blank (@ImNotAMercyMain) reported

    we get one overwatch update a day and ten new bugs, at this rate I'm just gonna give up and wait for PvE. or is that launch gonna crash and burn too?

  • Skell20XX Null (@Skell20XX) reported

    @Dead_Palette I mean the bad reviews are obviously from the server issues-- Sure the game is fine lol. Though yes, the preservationist in me is pissed they killed Overwatch for no good reason.

  • gabrielleija17 Gabriel (@gabrielleija17) reported

    @stardustpossum @morinimartin_98 @Bonerlisa I wouldn’t trust this guy last time I did that I couldn’t login to overwatch

  • jmanesports Jmanesportshypeman (@jmanesports) reported

    So is overwatch “2” still broken?

  • ItsWayzy Wayzy (@ItsWayzy) reported

    Is there a way to fix "Player is in a different version of overwatch" without resetting and going thru queue again

  • tmservo433 Christopher Reeves (@tmservo433) reported

    @forestminish Very, very on point. We have to wait and see if Microsoft can go in and wipe out management and replace it, certainly a possibility, one that would benefit many employees (IMHO).. I just don't see Spencer putting up with this. I never played Overwatch. I have no problem waiting.

  • PyrusHelios Pyrus Helios (@PyrusHelios) reported

    I just learned that I can't play overwatch 2 because I don't have service on my phone... faqqqq...

  • Amen_TL Amen (@Amen_TL) reported

    Feels weird saying this but Overwatch 2 is actually fun They (finally) fixed a lot of the problems and although it's the same game, it feels much different

  • Chronovadia Chronovadia (@Chronovadia) reported

    I think people would've reacted more postively to overwatch 2 if the servers didn't go through multiple ddos attacks

  • JesseDurango Jesse (@JesseDurango) reported

    Have only been able to play 2 games of #Overwatch since it’s release because after each match I get disconnected and then put in a queue that never ends. 😤 wish this problem was fixed.

  • LeonitixandKnux 🎃Leonitix🎃 (@LeonitixandKnux) reported

    @OverwatchCaval @battlenet Thank goodness I don’t need a phone number to play Overwatch 2. I’m really excited to play it for my PS5 tomorrow, but I’ll only gonna download the game and I’ll wait till the servers are fix.

  • ccdd1014 DD (@ccdd1014) reported

    @kongu992 @OhNoItsAlexx If you never play support why you should care? Even in the future the next hero is a tank and after that another support, most ow player play dps only. And btw every hero shoter you still need unlock them, why it's overwatch only problem?

  • MasterDa_Fizz Nigel Langbein (@MasterDa_Fizz) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I outright refuse to play Overwatch 2 until Junkrat is fixed. He is broken
