  • JamesRedPandaLP Spooky Dingus (@JamesRedPandaLP) reported

    Overwatch 2 already proving how good of a live service game it is They've switched from looking at a screen to get into the game to looking at a screen waiting for a match. 30 min queue for quickplay smh

  • JustSomeDude44 Owen (@JustSomeDude44) reported

    Question for anyone that plays Overwatch 2. Why are my hero’s locked? I played overwatch 1, they was all unlocked earlier but when I came back on they was all locked. How do we fix this

  • _cosmicastro jess 🌱 (@_cosmicastro) reported

    Is anyone else having issues with account merging on overwatch? It tells me my account is ready to merge and to close the game and wait a minute, but when I reopen the game it puts me in queue again? Anyone else? #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

  • someguythoughs L'exquisite Douleur. 🇺🇦🖤 (@someguythoughs) reported

    @PlayOverwatch 3 days since release. 3 days full of problems. I bought Overwatch and I bought Overwatch 2 Watchpoint pack. I don't give a **** it's a free to play, I still bought the game and this is not acceptable at all. You guys are not an indie company. Stop fooling with us.

    @BlizzardCS Hi, when I log into Overwatch 2 on Xbox I get the LC-208 or sometimes LC-202 errors, and the trouble-shooting steps didn't work. When I try to log in on PC I put in my account details but it kicks me back into a queue where I need to put my account details in again.

  • sarith2003 Sarith Urvindra 🇱🇰 (@sarith2003) reported

    Anyone having problem saying lost connection to game server , this sucks cause it worked a moment ago now it does not . servers sucks 😐 #Overwatch2 #Overwatch @OverwatchEU

  • popetheking Zach Skellington 💀🎃 (@popetheking) reported

    @BlizzardCS my Blizzard account is connected to my PlayStation account and always has been but I’m unable to merge my OVERWATCH 1 to 2? Any fix for this I will be pissed to lose all my progress

  • BarbzFantasy Pretty Boi Penny (@BarbzFantasy) reported

    @BlizzardCS I can’t login to Overwatch 2 on my main PSN account, it keeps saying login error. But any other account works… help???

  • EggertShallows Eggert Shallows Exploratory Mission (@EggertShallows) reported

    My favourite thing about overwatch 2 being a disaster is that I am exactly the kind of sucker who wants to and would spend stupid money on microtransactions and the game is so broken rn that I literally can't access the in-game store lol

  • Gurottesque 🦇 𝕸𝖆𝖗𝖑𝖞 🦇 (@Gurottesque) reported

    Is it too much to ask for one Overwatch 2 match that doesn't kick me due to a "server error" today? Yikes.

  • CaptainBlitz_ BOOlitz 🎃🦇 (@CaptainBlitz_) reported

    The #Overwatch need to learn what a "live-service" game is lmao ya'll so shocked at the ideal of "infinite content requires infinite money"

  • MissBlacktailed Agat (@MissBlacktailed) reported

    " Rendering device has been lost " **** off Overwatch, I did anything to fix it, what do you want from me

  • pstambler Phil (@pstambler) reported

    So you earn 60 coins a week in Overwatch 2. A legendary skin costs 1900 coins. That means if you're playing f2p that it'll take you 32 WEEKS to get enough coins to buy a legendary skin... Fix your **** Blizzard. You got rid of loot boxes and implemented an even shittier system.

  • AhaMomagic Momagic | Nekoween (@AhaMomagic) reported

    Overwatch 2 went from bad to even worse lmfao. Now there’s a chat glitch that’ll spend your money on micro-transactions, and blizzard DOESN’T refund MTX purchases… Worst launch of 2022 for any game.

  • AxelWerewolfPt2 ✨S T I N K Y✨ Pt.2 (@AxelWerewolfPt2) reported

    So I spent both a lot of money and a lot of time in Overwatch 1, but because I didn't purchase the game myself that means I LOSE ALL OF MY **** AND HAVE TO UNLOCK ALL OF THE HEROES IN OVERWATCH 2????? It's really just one problem after another, huh? At least I can play now.

  • TSnicc zebra buzdugan maestru in supt pule (@TSnicc) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent Been waiting for 5 hours because i got stuck in an infinite overwatch login screen, i've visited multiple official forums in search for an answer, but there wasnt any, just helpless people doing random stuff in hopes it works. Your platform ******* sucks. **** Activision-Blizzard

  • iamcheez M3ntaL® (@iamcheez) reported

    The game is unplayable at the moment. You can't find a match, at least on console. One issue after the other. Maybe it would be best to just take the game down to fix it. This is doing more harm than good as it is. #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

  • TeaAndMonsters Steph McStea 🏳️‍🌈 (@TeaAndMonsters) reported

    Got home excited to play some Overwatch 2 and it STILL won’t let me in on PS5. I had that half hour on release day but since then no luck. I’ll be seeing the LC-208 error message in my sleep at this rate 😭

  • hellindell 안또 / anto. (@hellindell) reported

  • Freyporeon Freyonetta (@Freyporeon) reported

    Ok so Overwatch 2 is basically Overwatch 1 at the moment but it takes ages to get in and I can't link my battle net account yet as the links broken....

  • therielleGab gab (@therielleGab) reported

  • MitchMcKidd87 Mitch 'Desert Badlands Warrior Squiddo' McKidd (@MitchMcKidd87) reported

    Overwatch 2 on the other end is a multiplatform F2P game that has online multiplayer, but it has tons of problems, including longer wait times, unstable servers and locking unlockable characters behind paywalls, I won't rule out playing this, but will not anytime soon. (3/4)

  • Undead_CJ Craig John Eaton (@Undead_CJ) reported

    @Th3_one_SucksXD @BlizzardCS And @BlizzardCS won't reply to this but I saw them reply to someone about a WoW issue on an overwatch tweet.

  • gamerjt1105 𝒿𝓉 (@gamerjt1105) reported

    @PlayOverwatch sucks why is none of my stuff from overwatch 1 put into overwatch 2?! Like I thought that’s what they were gonna fix wtf

  • DamionJ43466208 Damion Johnson (@DamionJ43466208) reported

    So I downloaded the whole update for overwatch 2 and got the game logged in completely but it says my account needs merged to complete my battlepass purchase and I'm stuck in a loop with it saying to reset my account over and over again. Any way I can fix it? @PlayOverwatch
