  • DullestSpon DullestSpon (@DullestSpon) reported

    @Slashed_Ky Honestly your so ****** right tho. It’s a shitshow especially when you think of the fact the the team that have made overwatch 2 for like the 4 years it was announced did they not once think, how about we don’t **** something that wasn’t a huge problem in the first game. 🥲

  • percellowo per_cell (@percellowo) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch have you guys thought about taking the overwatch 2 servers offline and pushing the season back while you fix the problems and get it ready for player to get in and play

  • JamesLosey3 𝙹𝚊𝚖𝚎𝚜 𝙻𝚘𝚜𝚎𝚢 (@JamesLosey3) reported

    As a big fan of the first Overwatch game…I feel like you die way too fast in Overwatch 2. Anyone else having this problem? #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

  • drewseize drewseize (@drewseize) reported

    @aaronkellerOW Can you turn OVERWATCH 1 back on while we wait for your to fix Overwatch 2? It will be more fun that sitting behind 40000 people waiting to connect, then getting disconnected and going to the back of the line again.

  • depresweirdo CaféMocha (@depresweirdo) reported

    @BlizzardCS It's been hours and so far no update on this has been posted. there's no way this will be another day waiting for the problem with Overwatch 2 to be resolved...

  • KahliefAdams Kahlief “Cult Of YaMammy” Adams (@KahliefAdams) reported

  • nitrodraco Nitrodraco (@nitrodraco) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent trying to get onto overwatch 2 and it asked for my phone number, entered it, asked me to restart the game and I did so, waited 3 hours to get back in to enter my phone number again for it to say it is on a different account. Fix your damn game

  • Kagazuka FUN RULER +3 || CHAINSAW MAN IN OCTOBER (@Kagazuka) reported

    the problem with overwatch 2 (top 500 perspective)

  • R3tr097411266 R3tr0 (@R3tr097411266) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS Are we still hiding behind the ddos? Because wtf is going on? This launch has to be one of your worst ones yet - especially because overwatch 1 was so stable.

  • jembofps Jembo (@jembofps) reported

    is anyone else getting saying error logging in overwatch 2?

  • millsologyCH 𝐌𝐢𝐥 🐯 ꜱʟᴇᴇᴘʏ ʙ🌸ᴛᴄʜɪʟᴀɴᴛᴇ (@millsologyCH) reported

    Maybe we'll hold off from playing Overwatch 2 til they fix the servers. I still see people not being able to play becauss of the insane 20k-50k queue. 🙃

  • untitledbatsuch Untitled x 🎗 Predebut Vtuber who isBusyincollege (@untitledbatsuch) reported

    Overwatch 2 overall is fun overall but like the problem I have faced is that during the AI matchup when I die or like press esc the hud would go off and idk why

  • TheNoPantsBird Tweety Bird (@TheNoPantsBird) reported

    Overwatch isn't worth waiting all day just to get a DDOS error.

  • Skull_Kidsx David Wolford (@Skull_Kidsx) reported

    Seeing all the confusion about how things carry over and are not working properly from Overwatch 1 to 2 and silence from @Blizzard_Ent shows this game somehow wasn’t ready for launch despite a release date months ago and years to work on it. Jeff has gotta be upset seeing this

  • KianLiverpool17 kian (@KianLiverpool17) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent can you please fix this problem with logging on. We have been waiting forever to play this game.when I did play all my progress from overwatch 1 didn't merge.

  • chroIIhoe lex | 🎃 (@chroIIhoe) reported

    Still waiting for @Blizzard_Ent to fix my overwatch account so all my stuff is there #Overwatch2

  • LuvMeSumBots (@LuvMeSumBots) reported

    @Beeprime09 @FortniteBR I keep getting errors on overwatch and queues been trying for 15 min now

  • Master_Vegas_91 Vegas (Commissions open) (@Master_Vegas_91) reported

    1 hour to find a match in ovewatch1 1 hour to login in overwatch 2

  • GoodnightBohnte bohnte (@GoodnightBohnte) reported

    i will never be able to login to overwatch

  • Mul13erry ✨AJ✨ (@Mul13erry) reported

    crazy how overwatch 2 got a ddos attack on launch day

  • Miss_Darien_ 👠Miss Darien👠 Office Vtuber (@Miss_Darien_) reported

    looks like you can only play overwatch at 2am now lol, ******* resets the login attempts every 30ish seconds

  • timeman2012 Adam Jackson (@timeman2012) reported

    @IGN Makes me laugh Rockstar gets hacked and someone releases GTA footage then someone gets arrested, Blizzard servers get ddos attacked yet nobody is being held accountable for the attack might as well blizzard get the FBI involved because it's probably a pissed off overwatch player.

  • BoxersBros Jonathan Rabon (@BoxersBros) reported

    Bro why did I login into Overwatch and all my heroes are locked? This game sucks.

  • jerryoxo Jerry OXO (@jerryoxo) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent So y’all learn anything yet or naw? If I could still play the #Overwatch I bought years ago…this wouldn’t be an issue…but you took it over & made it impossible for us to do anything so you could give the game away for free? What sort of loyalty is that? #Overwatch2

  • JeffNeelzebubII Jeff Neelzebub (@JeffNeelzebubII) reported

    @TunguskaGame @elonmusk @KonstantinKisin Yeah the referendum part is a nogo. They can referendum after Ukraine captures Luhansk and Donetsk, with UN overwatch too, knock yourself out. My issue with Elon is he's puting the cart before the horse. What he's thinking will be the end result, but we're not there yet.

  • H3RO_XVI H3RO (@H3RO_XVI) reported

    People who supported #Overwatch right to the death kicked to the kerb by @Blizzard_Ent with their failed #Overwatch2 launch. Some streamers who haven't played OW for years having no issue though 🙄

  • xLwrdSubie Chrip. (@xLwrdSubie) reported

    yay played half a game of overwatch and got sent back to the login screen:)
