  • hdj_usu Hdj Usu (@hdj_usu) reported

    Are the servers down on overwatch 2 again?

  • TheTaoOfJake Jake, Jenova's Witness (@TheTaoOfJake) reported

    @xpatriciah I've been on a prepaid phone plan (virgin, then boost mobile when virgin folded) for some like ten years and haven't had this problem at all. I /have/ had a problem where neither my owning overwatch 1 nor my purchase of the $40 pack has unlocked **** all, so I'm playing the FTUE.

  • mlgspacememe GB (@mlgspacememe) reported

    @WithinTwilight @XboxSupport That's a problem on Overwatch's side. Apparently they're getting DDOS'D

  • ThatNiggaBilly billion (@ThatNiggaBilly) reported

    i just want to play overwatch but constantly getting disconnect errors and queue resetting. :(

  • ac_montague Aaron Cheong (@ac_montague) reported

    @BlizzardCS is there a status on the Overwatch 2 issues?

  • LemonKiwiFan Lemon Kiwi #1 Fan (@LemonKiwiFan) reported

    The Overwatch 2 servers should be back online and stable by November 4th. We’re sorry for the inconveniences this has caused as we’re currently navigating our third DDoS attack.

  • asteroidthree 🎃alexa-Boo!no🎃 (@asteroidthree) reported

    dawg… overwatch isn’t even telling me i can’t play bc of server issues. it just tells me i can’t log in !???

  • JJ_Yagami Jesse (@JJ_Yagami) reported

    Glad I pre-ordered the PvE version of overwatch 2 for 40 just to constantly get errors and get thrown to the back of the queue over and over again. Fun times

  • harley_beanss Harley🍂 ceo of ranpo (@harley_beanss) reported

    Im sorry I find it very hard to believe this is a DDOS attack over their server issues. The game was playable midday but now its completely done? Nah thats them not being able to keep up with a bigger playerbase. Overwatch 2 really one of the worst launches Ive experienced

  • Hood_116 Hoodie (@Hood_116) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hi I was wondering how come my buddy who bought overwatch 1 has Characters locked in overwatch 2 is there a way to fix this or what is was the issue?

  • bombstaticz Daniela Harris (@bombstaticz) reported

    I just came home from work hoping to play today and still overwatch is not working 🥲

  • hellfrasier evan (@hellfrasier) reported

    IMO, Not seeing a problem with people's Overwatch progressions being wiped by accident, if anything, you're being afforded #MoreGoals and #MoreGameplay. In my Player's Guide, that's more game for your dollar -- an incredible payout when the game is free, to start!

  • WombleMr Womble🏳️‍🌈🇬🇧 (@WombleMr) reported

    Nothing quite like being sat in a queue for overwatch 2 for half an hour and then getting an error message of "sorry we were unable to log you in, communication timed out" Game is definitely great from what I played yesterday, but the login issues are frustrating as hell lmao

  • Darktower99 Darktower99 (@Darktower99) reported

    @aaronkellerOW any update on Overwatch 2 as login is now a worse experience than last night?

  • JewsFromHeaven_ Turner (@JewsFromHeaven_) reported

    People must really hate fun if they DDoS Overwatch 2 on launch day. Twice.

  • DerpyShark5198 LazyShark5198 (@DerpyShark5198) reported

    @ModernWarzone Legitimately was thinking about this with overwatch and the ddos thing

  • AuggieS9 ChefAuggie (@AuggieS9) reported

    Well I was playing overwatch 2 but I got DC’d mid comp game so lol these DDOS attacks are ridiculous

  • Aiyakiu Lacey🌸COMMISSIONS OPEN (@Aiyakiu) reported

    @jasonschreier Not great but I used to get paid $50 per article when I did Overwatch coverage. I think I had to have a 1000 word minimum. I think the issue is so many people are willing to do the job for cheap. I personally was thrilled when I was approached for that side job.

  • trentslayer01 trent (@trentslayer01) reported

    Overwatch 2 IS STILL NOT WORKING????????

  • tumnox autumn 👑 (@tumnox) reported

    just tried to play overwatch 2 and got an error message 5 times in a row but each time served to remind me more and more how much i hate blizzard and don't actually want to play their **** unbalanced game again so really it was a blessing in disguise

  • wilfdilf wilfdilf (@wilfdilf) reported

    @KaleiRenay i get into overwatch instantly and don’t have connection issues mommy idk what’s wrong with yours

  • JavaCyberr JavaCyber (@JavaCyberr) reported

    Blizzard saying they're going to release overwatch 2 release the waypoint pack. release the game the proceed to have the servers down for almost 24 hours. what have the waypoint pack money gone to???

  • MajesticSimba MajesticSimba 🦁 (@MajesticSimba) reported

    @hadoublem Oh I feel. Yeah I think the main problem is it isn't actually a new game it's just a repackaged patch for Overwatch so that's probably why they are still banned

  • maxforsberg4 max forsberg (@maxforsberg4) reported

    @XboxSupport Tell overwatch to fix the pre paid phone thing

  • Overson_ Overson | 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ | (@Overson_) reported

    @SheepB0T Yeah pretty much. I'm just going to be calling it Overwatch, but the instability is due to the ddos attacks.

  • MilfhunterDeagz Deagz (@MilfhunterDeagz) reported

    OVERWATCH FIX UR ******* SERVERS

  • ThomasCorry11 Thomas Corry (@ThomasCorry11) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent I have been trying all day today to even get into the overwatch lobby with no luck… please please fix this I’ve wasted so much of my day for no reason and I am quite upset
