    After rounds and rounds if disconnecting and sitting in queue for hours, I got into Overwatch 2 and man I'm so ******* happy with it. Some issues with the business model, sure, but Jesus it's fun.

    @CrimsonDealer @PlayOverwatch I played overwatch 1 on launch day, they were fine. Every game I’ve ever played online on launch day are fine. Ddos attack aside I don’t care. A billion dollar corporation should have there **** figured out. F2P I don’t care, I payed in advance for this game and I can’t play,

  • ItsaCanadianeh T (@ItsaCanadianeh) reported

    The Overwatch 2 servers be lagging so hard because the game hasn't experienced this much activity since it was in it's prime. Fix your ****, Blizzard.

  • Paulsible Paulsible (@Paulsible) reported

    Even despite the DDoSing and server errors, I'm pretty sure today was the most Overwatch I've actually sat down and *played* in a single sitting, in possibly two years SO glad to be having this much fun with it again

    Has anyone actually got to okay #overwatch today? I keep getting connection failure or it asks me to sign in after I’ve been queued, once i sign in it goes back to a queue it is so annoying 😩 @battlenet

  • struckm4n Michael Struckman (@struckm4n) reported

    Not only is Overwatch 2 having major connectivity issues (I understand their serves under attack) but my waypoint dlc wasn’t redeemed. I purchased it back in September. Almost bought it a second time because I wasn’t sure if I was mistaken I had already purchased it.

  • Jessieshay6 Jessie shay (@Jessieshay6) reported

    I really don't see a problem with overwatch 2 and it's battle pass so what if you have to pay money

  • JoseTGAM JoseTGAM (@JoseTGAM) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Literally the one thing that's not letting about 80% percent of players or something play Overwatch2 excluding the server issues is the post paid phone number just remove that and that 80% percent is playing overwatch again but what are the chances of blizzard listening to us

  • heromedley Pau (@heromedley) reported

    overwatch 2 login queues are absolutely abysmal, i feel so bad for people who paid for this game. oh well, back to gundam evolution i guess.
