  • jmanesports Jmanesportshypeman (@jmanesports) reported

    So is overwatch “2” still broken?

  • NovhaTV #NorcalNovah (@NovhaTV) reported

    I respect blizzard adding new changes to overwatch 2 to however removing ranked Sr & loot boxes are two great things about original overwatch I definitely do believe some changes needed to be made to make new one fresh etc but If features aren’t broken don’t fix it

  • Hamskillet Hamskillet (@Hamskillet) reported

    So Overwatch 2 is absolutely fantastic gameplay wise. I am in love with the game all over again. However, these server issues are flat awful. 2 days later and we still have 30-40 min + Queues and disconnects mid match. I hope Microsoft can teach Blizz stability and uptime..

  • wavtor Gavin Murray (@wavtor) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent sort your overwatch 2. Login severs I just qued for 500 and then got in and kicked straight away to have to que for 600

  • danmcCoy3 THE GREAT TOM CRUISE SHIP (@danmcCoy3) reported

    So its day 3 of the overwatch 2 DDOS attack. Im currently live streaming the que screen.

  • PyrusHelios Pyrus Helios (@PyrusHelios) reported

    I just learned that I can't play overwatch 2 because I don't have service on my phone... faqqqq...

  • Marceli05020663 Marcelino estrada (@Marceli05020663) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Too bad i cant play overwatch one while this issue gets resolved

  • ImNotAMercyMain Name cannot be blank (@ImNotAMercyMain) reported

    we get one overwatch update a day and ten new bugs, at this rate I'm just gonna give up and wait for PvE. or is that launch gonna crash and burn too?

  • medipax94 Basti (@medipax94) reported

    @aaronkellerOW 599 and I got in. The security said I have to use my phone to get access to the game. After fixing my number and stuff I got back to place 599. Yeah what ever I play other games **** overwatch 2. Hope they DDos you back to Overwatch1

  • Unicornkllr213 unicornkiller213 (@Unicornkllr213) reported

    I honestly haven’t been having a problem getting into Overwatch servers, but I feel bad for console players that have to sacrifice their first born to get into a match.

  • tmservo433 Christopher Reeves (@tmservo433) reported

    @forestminish Very, very on point. We have to wait and see if Microsoft can go in and wipe out management and replace it, certainly a possibility, one that would benefit many employees (IMHO).. I just don't see Spencer putting up with this. I never played Overwatch. I have no problem waiting.

  • ItsWayzy Wayzy (@ItsWayzy) reported

    Is there a way to fix "Player is in a different version of overwatch" without resetting and going thru queue again

  • HollyrainM Shenpai (@HollyrainM) reported

    Overwatch 2 is so stupid why give us ONE day to merge and not announce it? I didn’t even know it was closing down till a day after it did. I had everything in ow1 from all cosmetics to golden guns to level like 987, and boom everything is gone now. I swear to god blizzard. Fix it

  • jeyjey98525575 ROX (@jeyjey98525575) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN sorry to bother, but if i disconnect my xbox account from my blizzard account to try to fix the error i keep getting, will it affect the merge of my stuff being transferred over to overwatch 2??

  • MANTIS_739 MANTIS 🎃🖤🧡 #SPOOKTOBER (@MANTIS_739) reported

    like i don't have a problem with fortnite but i don't want overwatch to start copying it now 😭 if i wanted to play fortnite i would play that instead

  • Hamskillet Hamskillet (@Hamskillet) reported

    So Overwatch 2 is absolutely fantastic gameplay wise. I am in love with the game all over again. However, these server issues are flat awful. 2 days later and we still have 30-40 min + Queues and disconnects mid match. I'd be fired at my job for the same server SLA.

  • smokecampzel Big Zel (@smokecampzel) reported

    I dont get how yall are playing overwatch 2. After a wait an hour in que, it makes me sign in and then it restarts the game and puts me back in que , Ive done this twice now 😕 @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch2

  • Ducklex_ ducklex (@Ducklex_) reported

    the fact that overwatch has a queue until you can login only for you to be put in another ******* queue is abysmal

  • Jacobsalemphoto Jacobsalem (@Jacobsalemphoto) reported

    I think the Overwatch servers just caused a power outage in Orem

  • Kyazell Kyle Yazell (@Kyazell) reported

    @PlayOverwatch You have a large amount of your paying customers locked out and experiencing log in issues due to YOUR MERGING FAULTS. Customers who liked your product enough when it cost $60 to buy it at least twice. Now you are paying us back? #Overwatch #betrayal

  • irisspilledmilk V0ID (@irisspilledmilk) reported

    99.9 of my time on overwatch is spent at the ******* queue and login screen

  • MasterDa_Fizz Nigel Langbein (@MasterDa_Fizz) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I outright refuse to play Overwatch 2 until Junkrat is fixed. He is broken

  • tj_sujeski tj (@tj_sujeski) reported

    I’m still getting log in errors and I haven’t been able to even see the main menu on overwatch 2 #overwatch

  • Skell20XX Null (@Skell20XX) reported

    @Dead_Palette I mean the bad reviews are obviously from the server issues-- Sure the game is fine lol. Though yes, the preservationist in me is pissed they killed Overwatch for no good reason.

  • JCave96 Jack Cave (@JCave96) reported

    @PlayOverwatch It seems that now the new norm when playing overwatch is wait in queue for an hour and a half, get to play 2 games, join a third and then get a server error and end up in a queue which will take hours, best money ever spent on a new game -_-

  • JesseDurango Jesse (@JesseDurango) reported

    Have only been able to play 2 games of #Overwatch since it’s release because after each match I get disconnected and then put in a queue that never ends. 😤 wish this problem was fixed.

  • Drexnot Sr. P (@Drexnot) reported

    Activision CAN'T do anything right. How you fk up a game like Overwatch 1 (now 2). The fact I cannot even access the game which I bought for $40 at launch is a sad fkn state of gaming in 2022. I guess money is more important than a fair work space and a functional service.

  • Clayton_1004 Clayton (@Clayton_1004) reported

    honestly my experience with the Overwatch 2 launch has been so awful it makes me not want to play the game. Constant server errors logging me in and then hours of queue waiting time just makes me want to play something else lol. 10/10 experience tho when i do get to play lol

  • ccdd1014 DD (@ccdd1014) reported

    @kongu992 @OhNoItsAlexx If you never play support why you should care? Even in the future the next hero is a tank and after that another support, most ow player play dps only. And btw every hero shoter you still need unlock them, why it's overwatch only problem?

  • Amen_TL Amen (@Amen_TL) reported

    Feels weird saying this but Overwatch 2 is actually fun They (finally) fixed a lot of the problems and although it's the same game, it feels much different
