    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

  • dela_criox Delacriox (@dela_criox) reported

    @shiori_p0n if you liked tf2 i think overwatch is alright? same game concept but i think an issue would be you can’t have too much the same role in a team / character

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

  • 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

  • Stinky17901 Top Secret Vince (@Stinky17901) reported

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

  • taunttitan401 taunttitan401 (@taunttitan401) reported

    @weebliee This wouldn't be as bad of an issue if we could play overwatch 1 yeah it would still be bull **** but we'd at least still be able to play overwatch 1 while we wait

  • risssza *•.¸♡ rissa ♡¸.•* (@risssza) reported

    @Xbox don’t you own blizzard now? send some xbox IT to fix overwatch bro 🤨

  • Redals_Nehoc Slader ☀️ (@Redals_Nehoc) reported

    Overwatch has a huge problem with their skin design for Zenyatta. Let him have his original body in skins. Most of his skins would look infinitely better if they didn't just completely disregard his actual face. Might as well be a different robot.

  • SheriffCheese Tony (@SheriffCheese) reported

    No promises but... Overwatch 2 stream this weekend if the servers fix itself?

  • ShitaInu Brandon🐶🇻🇳🍜 (@ShitaInu) reported

    Wait so Overwatch 2 is under a DDOS attack? Holy **** what a start to the launch

  • JThePinkThing Jonathan Lodestein (@JThePinkThing) reported

    @BlizzardCS can we get an update on the overwatch 2 login situation? Has any progress been made twoards fixing players not being able to login to overwatch.

  • JoJoJoyfully JoJoJoy (@JoJoJoyfully) reported

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

  • JxstCk Seekay (@JxstCk) reported

    you genuinley have to be the dumbest lowlife w no friends to ddos the overwatch servers on launch... 1. go touch some grass 2. have fun getting sued into oblivion when they inevitably find you, they found the gta hacker you will be no different lmfao

  • pink_sinister SinisterPink (@pink_sinister) reported

    @mttgcast With the release of overwatch 2 and the trouble people are having logging into the game I was wondering has there ever been a Game that you waited for but had a disappointing launch #askmttg

  • J_Wilson1231 Jack Wilson (@J_Wilson1231) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch Just got into Overwatch 2 after 6 hours of trial and error. Bought the battle pass then got kicked out. #overwatch2 #blizzard

  • PeepaPikachu Brayden ❤️‍🔥 (@PeepaPikachu) reported

    The fact that people are still waiting in a queue after 3 hours is ridiculous I got finally got in just to find out that none of my stuff from overwatch 1 carried over…@PlayOverwatch plz fix for the love of god #Overwatch2

  • slimecichal hal-oween 🎗 (@slimecichal) reported

    okay legitimate question, is the whole queue thing to open overwatch 2 actually a real thing or is it a problem because of the ddos attacks. like is it a server issue due to that or am i actually in a line of 30k people to open the game?

  • vuduyutube VuDuYutube Gaming (@vuduyutube) reported

    @PlayOverwatch So for the people that can't play at all due to the phone number problem, do we get a refund for Overwatch 1 purchases? Because you royally ****** us

  • 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.
