  • Bajoingaa Benny (@Bajoingaa) reported

    @X3N999 my biggest issue with Overwatch (both 1 and 2) is that it demands so much coordination and it’s so hard to do that with random people. there’s voice chat but nobody wants to use it

  • Blhexa Laura Ramírez 🕷 (@Blhexa) reported

    i’m starting to think overwatch didn’t “solve” the queue problem, they just put a lower number to make u think they have cause i’ve been waiting here an hour

  • LBMercenary 𝐉𝐀𝐒𝐎𝐍. (@LBMercenary) reported

    EVERY TIME I GET AN ACHIEVEMENT IN OVERWATCH IT KICKS ME OUT OF THE GAME AND INTO A QUEUE THIS **** IS SO ANNOYING @PlayOverwatch FIX YOUR GAME

  • LiquidxToxic Dee (@LiquidxToxic) reported

    @barry_eshelman I am mad cause its like everyone is making a judgement call to call it a overwatch 2 problem instead of a oversight in security with almost no avenues to seek help. You are literally doing what support is doing to me and arent listening

  • _Turtle_Hermit Turtle Hermit (@_Turtle_Hermit) reported

    Things I have enjoyed so far about Overwatch 2: 1) Installing it 2) Updating the shortcut so it says 'Overwatch 2' 3) Waiting in queue 4) Updating my graphics settings 5) Error messages Can't wait to see the actual game!

  • GuardianDownn Quiet System (@GuardianDownn) reported

  • KyuRose_ Ninotchka (@KyuRose_) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN I got disconnected from the Overwatch 2 servers and the game locked me out of all of my previously owned heroes. I had no issues with not being able to access them before. I've been playing this game for 5 years, please help :( (restarting didn't solve this)

  • FigLife4Ever You People Have Brain Worms (@FigLife4Ever) reported

    @BlizzardCS You guys are having a **** week. The Overwatch 2 server shitshow all week. Trying to get into a party with friends takes like 30 minutes between queues and bugs, and today I think "Okay whatever I'll just chill and level in WotLK". NOPE, login servers down. Come on...

  • youcanhitmyjuul spaghetti princess (@youcanhitmyjuul) reported

    Overwatch 2 servers still not working? Are u mf kidding me bruh 😩 I thought they had all day yesterday to work on this and said it’ll be up by 11:00 but NAH. What’s the point of releasing a game when no when can play it?

  • AnimeMomsFan Okabe (@AnimeMomsFan) reported

    started playing bit of Overwatch 2 today, after a couple matches I get disconnected and upon joining all the heroes are locked as if I had never played OW1, apparently many people are experiencing the very same issue right now @BlizzardCSEU_IT fix your videogame

  • FabMcDonalds Crude Oil (@FabMcDonalds) reported

    So far the game is fine (it's just overwatch 1 with a bunch of heroes I haven't played). But how are the queues so long??? Plenty of players; It's not a population issue. I queue all classes. What happened? What does Overwatch do so wrong that other games do just fine?

  • Boston582 Boston58 (@Boston582) reported

    Overwatch 2 queue fix nothing yesterday. Seating in queue for 25 mins.

  • dearest_eliza 🖤🤍 // Eliza // 💚🖤 (@dearest_eliza) reported

    -Overwatch 2 anymore now. I’m so sad and I have 10 characters under lock when I have no challenges to complete. I wish I knew how to fix it to get my stuff back because I had the Halloween skin for Ashe that I absolutely loved and it’s gone as well as my ability to play Ashe. 😭

  • frodonasty alvin (he/they) (@frodonasty) reported

    Overwatch 2 is broken, time to play fallout 76 instead 🙄

  • Bearsteaks Fatty Bearsteaks (@Bearsteaks) reported

    I think in some weird, recursive way, overwatch has created all the same problems that they already had-and in some cases made them worse- by trying to solve said problems. I can't fit all my gripes into twitter but it's just deflating to see the same problems in a different skin

  • kdc1982 Kelly Coffey (@kdc1982) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent yesterday I had everything but my missing coins and today I’m locked out of over half of my hero’s??!!! Come on guys. Fix Overwatch!

  • babykakarxt apollo🦇® (@babykakarxt) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch FIX REAPER. WHEN I SHOOT IT IN OVERWATCH 2 FEEL LIKE IM THROWING ROCKS AT MY OPPONENT. IM BETTER TRYING MELEE THAN SHOOT WITH THOSE EXCUSES FOR SHOTGUNS #Overwatch2

  • summypooxoxo Sum ☆ (@summypooxoxo) reported
