  • LilNickyChubb J2H8 (@LilNickyChubb) reported

    @Marleyaesthetic @BlizzardCS @SmulPluto They don’t care. This overwatch 2 is going to be a huge bust unfortunately. They seem not to care to put out a decent product or to help people with issues.

  • Dank50789665 Dank (@Dank50789665) reported

    @aaronkellerOW The fact that people love overwatch so much, that you have problems… is a gift, not an inconvenience. We all will get over it.

  • Sirensnmayhem Alisha Miller (@Sirensnmayhem) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent can you fix overwatch 2 already ? Been 18 hours and a lot of people STILL can't get into the game. Funny how your streamers and higher ranked players could play on release but not everyone else. Sucks only a few get to play.

  • veronicabaily V (@veronicabaily) reported

    Literally begging Overwatch to fix the server issues so I can actually play with friends tonight lol 🤲🏻

    @gamewatchtoday Name a game that was DDoS attacked at launch worse than Overwatch 2.

  • CrazySkullHeart CrazySkullHeart (@CrazySkullHeart) reported

    So… overwatch 2 (cough cough it’s really 1.1 cough cough) is being ddos’ed and has gotten off to a bad start. In other news, sky is blue and grass is green.

  • sanicking2 iCried2Much (@sanicking2) reported

  • marconover3000 Mar-shadowrain-Conover🐻🎮 (@marconover3000) reported

    Day 2 overwatch is still broken once again I’ll be back in a week or until someone tells me they added more servers either way seems people are quitting it entirely already

  • EksSkelly_Tweet Skellybur 🛡 (Life Level 5) ⚔️ (@EksSkelly_Tweet) reported

    @Xgxg100Sudesh26 Neh bro. I don't give a **** about the servers, I give e a **** about the reward system. I'm not returning to overwatch 2 until they fix that ****.

  • AllanElGordo El Gordo (@AllanElGordo) reported

    I was going to give Overwatch 2 a try but they're doing too much just to sign in. On top of it just not working, tf do I wanna give you my phone number for

  • Dommy_Bomb DommyBomb (@Dommy_Bomb) reported

    ~19million people, worldwide, use #Cricket prepaid service as of 2021 and #Metro by T-Mobile has ~8.9million users. Overwatch, paired with OW2 has ~9.2 million (with OW2 carrying ~150k of that number). @Overwatch, more than half of your players cannot play the game. Fix it.

  • grahamholcomb31 Graham (@grahamholcomb31) reported

    Got a nice 36 piece on overwatch just to get DDoS

  • iamlyft moderately salted (@iamlyft) reported

  • RozzTDC RozzArtanisTDC (@RozzTDC) reported

    GOD I WANNA PLAY OVERWATCH 2 BUT MY LAPTOP IS THE PROBLEM CUZ IT DONT HAVE A GRAPHICS CARD THAT CAN RUN WELL HELPPPPP

  • kennleandre Obi-Wan KENNobi (@kennleandre) reported

    If Blizzard can't even fix the servers for a game they have been running for five years, then Overwatch really deserve a slow and painful death

  • sadgirlmechy 🤍 m. (@sadgirlmechy) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent I hope that this is all part of the server issue... I purchased the Watchpoint pack when it was first announced and when I was finally able to get into OW2 this morning, I was missing both my premium battlepass and 2k overwatch coins. I hope this gets fixed soon...

  • Dernieel Daniel (@Dernieel) reported

    fix the gahhhdamn overwatch servers

  • airfuuka fuuka☁️ aoba CEO (@airfuuka) reported

    @finding_albums Did any of you guys log into Overwatch 2 and not keep the inventory you previously had? Not sure if it's just a day 1 issue or if something happened on my end, and the merge accounts isn't opening for me so I'm not really sure how to recover my stuff lol

  • David_Konsta Davidkonsta (@David_Konsta) reported

    People are lagging around for me in Overwatch 2 (wifi is fine), is that also happening to anyone else?

  • sw_kieren Carrie 💖 (@sw_kieren) reported

    My friends and everyone else having trouble staying connected to Overwatch 2/not being able to get on at all, meanwhile I waltzed right on and played for 2 hours without problems. I’m just built different.

  • TheHitDude Bret James Porter (@TheHitDude) reported

    Man I’d love to play over watch 2 but I still can’t get in. Tried on pc and Xbox series x. I sank a thousand or so hours into the first one. I get that ddos can happen but idk man. If 1 was still around I could at least chill and play mystery hero’s. #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

  • Washburn135 washy (@Washburn135) reported

    You see, there is this really great game called Destiny 2. Where essential aspects like PVP characters are not locked behind battle pass progression. You can play it while Blizzard figures out how to fix the latest patch to Overwatch 1. You don't have to sit in a broken queue.

  • CarlosD93221471 Carlos :p (@CarlosD93221471) reported

    @run4lifetv I cant play, its says my free trial is not working right now and tells me to buy overwatch for some reason

  • xfarrangex Steven 🇨🇦 (@xfarrangex) reported

    @RawCyberHub @yoppki The problem with Overwatch though is it isn't a bee game so there's already a lot sweats. The game was also known to have smurfing problem, and that was before it was F2P. Can't imagine you'll be playing anyone close to your skill level unless you dedicate a lot time in it.

  • AnnulAbyss Deity Abyss (Menace Arc) (@AnnulAbyss) reported

    If Overwatch 2 still has problems I will be streaming Grounded

  • Saadalwazq1 Saadalwazq (@Saadalwazq1) reported

    @Xbox I have an installation stopped problem on overwatch I can’t download it please tell me how to fix it

  • FlameLord_ FlameLord (@FlameLord_) reported

    So overwatch 2 still having server issues ?👁👄👁

  • CSBx92 CSB (@CSBx92) reported

    @Pauly_Games @UncleHox @Kephrii The overwatch team didn't have problems like that

  • chuued Federally Subsidized Kool-Aid Jammer (@chuued) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS I have not been able to merge my Playstation and Xbox accounts in Overwatch 2. I linked my accounts before the release but I haven't been prompted to merge accounts at any time while playing OW2. So I have none of my progression. Os this a known issue?

  • Four_k_tweetin Four-K (@Four_k_tweetin) reported

    @EnbyEiri Well I know what you mean, but I did put a support ticket in over the weekend with them about an issue I had and they got back to me and sorted it by yesterday! So that’s not bad considering the big launch of Overwatch 2. 😗
