    Besides all the server issues Overwatch 2 is pretty fun! Pretty much what I expected. Battle Pass is still *** tho. It’s a mixed bag but game itself is fun but i wish I didn’t have to wait 30 years to play the gAMEBFKDLSJDKS

  • slvden sladen* (@slvden) reported

    @BlizzardCS I haven’t gotten my bonus items from playing Overwatch 1 in Overwatch 2. How can I fix it?

  • MrsMcGlitter Kelly 🦇👻🎃 (@MrsMcGlitter) reported from Ypsilanti Mobile Home Village, Michigan

    Overwatch 2 is going down for maintenance to fix this ****. Finally... They should have done this right after launch and fixed it.

  • Lightemuphomie Homie (@Lightemuphomie) reported

    3 days straight of overwatch 2 having server problems. Won’t be surprised if the game dies since they’re killing the hype for new players trying to play.

  • ItsTreyRhodes James Rhodes (@ItsTreyRhodes) reported

    Overwatch really needs to fix the bug that kicks you from the game when you get an achievement. I love sitting in a 1.5 hour queue just to get an achievement before I even got into a game just to be booted into another queue.

    @nyanBRUH tbf most multiplayer games that dont expect a certain amount of players are gonna choke because they wont be ready for the overflow, not blizzards fault that more people than ever are playing overwatch and they werent ready for it besides the ddos attacks that didnt help either

  • Peterforchamp Peter Fynne (@Peterforchamp) reported

    @BlizzardCS I encountered the overwatch 2 account merger issue, where I couldn't login to the game. I tried to fix the issue myself by linking different accounts and ended having to wait 365 days to relink my xbox account to my battlenet. Is it possible to reset the timer?

  • baileychia_ ʎəlıɐq (@baileychia_) reported

    Finally able to play overwatch 2 and my game freezes so bad I crash and now my bf’s game is frozen and he can’t get in. Looks like we aren’t playin tonight 😭

  • StandardCone898 StandardCone898 (@StandardCone898) reported

    Does anyone else get a ‘client requested disconnect’ messages while playing overwatch 2? #Overwatch2servers

  • SaveTheCrocks Jay (@SaveTheCrocks) reported

    UPADTE The Overwatch devs themselves finally fixed the issue

  • gaming_aes AESGaming (@gaming_aes) reported

    @Hoshin0va He said "everyone predicted THIS would happen". THIS refers to what happened to Overwatch 2, which was a DDOS attack. DSP can say it wasn't a DDOS attack all he wants. He doesn't work for Blizzard and as someone who follows DSP, you should know that he's a know-it-all

  • JaredWolff91 Jared Wolff (@JaredWolff91) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Watch this cartoon about a character from Overwatch that you can't play because we won't fix our servers for the re-skinned game we re-launched 3 days ago.

  • NillinStreams Nillin (@NillinStreams) reported

  • Ghostsouls265 Ghostsouls265 (@Ghostsouls265) reported

    I am soooo tempted to uninstall Fortnite right now. 🤬 Sweaty kids in every squads lobby. Overwatch....please fix your servers so I can leave this kids game behind!

  • ThomasHardingg Thomas (@ThomasHardingg) reported

    Overwatch 2 definitely did not get DDOS’d cuz I’ve been getting this blur glitch that blurs everything but my gun and I’ve seen multiple T pose’s in the end of the game scene so the servers being **** just makes me believe they didn’t do enough tests. Lazy mfs

  • TLSirJester Timelord Sir Jester (@TLSirJester) reported

    Hopefully Overwatch going down for maintenance tonight will give them a chance to better address the server issues. I know this definitely wasn’t how the team saw the launch going.

  • TheBlacSage Sage♒️🈹 (@TheBlacSage) reported

    @uwufoxykinz I think overwatch just underestimated how many people were going to join the community now that its free to play. Then they got DDoss’d alot too while trying to fix it😭

  • Enriel23 Manuel Carriel (@Enriel23) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Fix the previous Overwatch cosmetics issue and the Founder’s pack bonus 😭
