@PaulTassi Genuine question: what happens if OW2 has some catastrophic problem(s) and now that OW1 is offline players loose their game for real? The lack of marketing on top of the shutdown of overwatch one is so odd

The stream I had planned for the release of overwatch 2 in 4 hours might not be possible, my sister might’ve broken her leg.

Do people not have the memory span to recall the broken promises of #Overwatch2? -It was supposed to be cross compatible with Overwatch 1. -The main USP was supposed to be PVE, but it isn’t even launching this year. So they are basically selling OW1 a second time to the simps? 🤔

@VISCERALROT There shouldn’t even be an overwatch 2 this game should crash and burn (Avid overwatch player <—)

Biggest problem with Overwatch (which became its downfall) was the game becoming less and less about individual skill to help the team and more about rock paper scissors, trying to hard counter the other team's heroes. I hope the OW2 changes are gonna fix this.

@theOGcanuck @YellingMadman On top of that the overwatch 2 beta dropped barely 2 years after service “ended” so people who say there’s no content to play with confuse me. Between arcade, qp, comp, coop modes, and creative with a 30+ character lineup and updates as recent as 2-3 months ago.

like yeah, a game where you *can* host your own servers, living longer than a live-service game like Overwatch, of course thats gonna happen. but even *as* a live service game, it feels like a remarkably short lifespan

@SkillUpYT The feeling i get is that overwatch 1 was «meant» to be a live service game but the genre had yet to solidify so they didn’t have the reward structures that get players hooked and make them recurrant spenders. OW2 is an excuse to cram in the **** they missed on by being too early

Wait so I did the account merge think with Overwatch 2, will I login today with all my old stuff from console? Or is it coming to effect later?

@washjustice The change I'm most excited for is the new free to play model. I have a lot of friends that I really wanted to play overwatch with but they couldn't because they weren't too well off financially. But now that problem is solved : )

@OctaneStim0 @Blinkzrr Yup, I’ve got multiple Smurf on Overwatch and to transfer them all to Overwatch 2, you required a phone number verification it’s going to help the smurfing and cheating problem, although compare to apex, they just added cross progression to get back your console item x)

@JoshGhostyStan @PaulTassi The problem is that overwatch two isn't the same game. Core gameplay changes, ranked rework, new PvE campaign(coming out in early 2023 i believe), free and battle pass.

@ValorLeaks This feels like they moved the act 3 changes to compete with overwatch 2 or they don't want two have to trouble shoot all these changes with the new agent around the corner

(@ethan_josephson) reported
@SirSwagYT Also overwatch gained the problem of post launch heroes being way more advanced and crazy compared to the launch characters which either leaves them strong as hell or weak as hell due to over correction. Their post launch support post 2017 sucked IMO.

(@FarixQuill) reported
I'm a little disappointed with how much talk Overwatch 1 & 2 are getting. Like did people just not get ANY of the many memos that Blizzard is not a good company to support? Or did they just fix all their problems really, really quietly?

@HexbitsV2 @PaulTassi Sorry, it's just been tiring see the vitality of complete lies (not from you) against Overwatch 2 when there are real problems it genuinely could have but none of these people care about that because they won't actually play it.

Everyone happily talking about Overwatch 2, let me quickly remind you that Blizzard still hasn't fixed any of the issues that came out over a year ago. In fact, they were pointing the finger at Microsoft.

@marth_burton2 I saw some guy on here the other day that said Overwatch gave him anger issues. Buddy, I don't know how to tell you this, but it is definitely not the game that did that to you lol

@PlayOverwatch I think its completely unfair to shut the overwatch servers down blocking players from enjoying the last few hours of competitive 6v6

I've witnessed the launch of multiple WoW expansions and Diablo 3 that I expect nothing but server lags and connection issues when Overwatch 2 servers go live later. Godspeed to those at Blizzard ready to hold the line.

@BryanDechart Finishing up Broken Pieces, Overwatch in prep for Overwatch 2, Fall Guys, and I always have a playthrough of Mass Effect going. Working on an infiltrator run this time.

@KhamarSinclair i didn't even know overwatch 2 was releasing until my friend called and was like "ayo hop on overwatch cuz they're shutting the servers down in a couple hours". This was also the same guy I grinded ******** out of OW with during its peak from 2016-2019

@BlasterNation to be absolutely fair, the art now matches how they look in the actual game (aside from a few exceptions like junkrat). that being said, overwatch has always had a serious sameface problem.

Something tells me that Blizzard will renege on the locking heroes behind the battle pass approach for Overwatch 2, and then act like they're doing a good turn for giving a solution to a problem they created. Aren't you thankful?
