Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • HeyItzSpider disneyland pickpocket (@HeyItzSpider) reported

    not to mention that there's 30 new skins. with the f2p live service model rewarding battlepass and skins, it really feels like this is the final nail for overwatch. blizzard took 3 yrs making skins just to monetize their dead game that they're reviving by going free to play

  • JayhawkTweets Joseph M (@JayhawkTweets) reported

    I had over 500 hours in competitive before season one was over. I cosplayed as Tracer multiple times. I ran the streams and made the graphics for the early Toronto Overwatch Beer League matches. Not excited for Overwatch 2 and Blizzard's issues is the primary reason.

  • LuvBDawg LuvCrewGaming ( AKA- LUVBEAMS) (@LuvBDawg) reported

    @Xiled_Voices TERRIBLE in its current state. I been playing overwatch 1 religiously cuz the issues with rogue Make it unplayable for me lately

  • zarglog_OW Zarglog (@zarglog_OW) reported

    @Huevoasesino2 @JulesOW_ Haha you're right. I remember there being a "game sabotage / toxicity" thing you could check as well? Only thing that Overwatch (the game) would need to implement is adding audio recordings from the game to the review. But that would probably cause legal issues with GDPR etc.

  • GoldenGamesOn GoldenGamesOn (@GoldenGamesOn) reported

    @Chaosxsilencer My main issue when I played the closed Beta is it just feels like a larger Overwatch 1 update vs. a separate title as they advertise. Visually the game does look a little bit better as well, but I was personally disappointed even with lower expectations

  • PatrickDane Patrick Dane (@PatrickDane) reported

    I think three new heroes at launch of Overwatch 2 is fine. Good even. It might get chaotic if too many more came at once. I really only care that they keep up a regular cadence like a normal live service game.

  • balancingbeam nicl (@balancingbeam) reported

    @LobaLaToxica Lifeline players are like the mercy players from overwatch back in the day. when the broken 5 man rez got removed

  • Chavix0 Chavix (@Chavix0) reported

    @jamesperrott1 @PlayOverwatch Sorry were you expecting 40 new maps and new characters to play? You say they are not working on pve when that is the main focus of overwatch 2. And they are not doing anything. Have you seen all of the content they have showed us. They gave us a ******* release date dude.

  • ian_c22 Ian Gouws (@ian_c22) reported

    @HawaNife Overwatch sold Broken at a Reduced price on @Blizzard_Ent Website! Not Free my guy....

  • Yeshalot 🦉Yeshalot🦉 (@Yeshalot) reported

    It's nice to hear that Overwatch 2 is going to be a live service. It's almost like that's what the first one should've been instead of letting it die slowly to jump onto overwatch 2. listening to these devs talk is already annoying me

  • 50ShadesofJamo Jamo (@50ShadesofJamo) reported

    Overwatch 2 sounds like every live service game

  • BatousaiJ Jae (@BatousaiJ) reported

    Starting the Overwatch 2 reveal stream by saying "Live Service, Free to Play game" over and over again is a terrible start and completely tone deaf.

  • WendySnowRadish Costco Elysium (@WendySnowRadish) reported

    The Overwatch competitive meta will always be funny to me because of how the devs completely doomed their game with a single broken character that they waited a year to try and balance and when they finally did they made its ability even more broken

  • Stoneburrner Stoneburner (@Stoneburrner) reported

    @Ninjas_Hyper20 @Captain_Phyco @Nibellion its overwatch 1.1, they were supposed to update overwatch 1 while developing the PVE which would be overwatch 2, but good ol papa jeff said **** that **** and didnt want to touch the game until the pve was done, due to a lack of content for a live service game, players left

  • Rotten_Skittle Mr. Miku (@Rotten_Skittle) reported

    @_Fantasticfaith @BrokeMusicEdkid @PlayOverwatch Hackers and smurfing is a big problem in Overwatch right now. A paywall does not solve that problem, they need to work on a good anti-cheat system.

  • Dtultimate0 DTultimate (@Dtultimate0) reported

    Installed a bunch of new games on my Xbox like Overwatch, Splunky, and Crash Bandicoot. Gonna stream some of these one day for content value.

  • ian_c22 Ian Gouws (@ian_c22) reported

    @HawaNife Overwatch sled Broken at a Reduced price on @Blizzard_Ent Website! Not Free my guy....

  • _Fantasticfaith fainth 🇺🇦 (@_Fantasticfaith) reported

    @BrokeMusicEdkid @PlayOverwatch Yeah hackers/smurfing will be a big issue. free to play was a bad idea should’ve made it like 20-30$ for overwatch owners and like 60$ for new players. I’ve never met someone who likes battle passes.

  • ghxdra 🗝 t o r i n 🌙 (@ghxdra) reported

    If Apex would add cross progression like Overwatch 2 and Fortnite and anyother sane live service game, i could sell my damn PS4 and get a PC.

  • MajinDaburaOCE Dabs (@MajinDaburaOCE) reported

    Imagine thinking map immersion is the problem with Overwatch lmaoo jesus christ they are doomed

  • equilatera7 Equilateral (@equilatera7) reported

    Again, I am failing to understand why you needed to add a "2" to upcoming Overwatch content. You are making no structural changes to the service model, simply adding new content. Don't be surprised if it's not embraced as well as before.

  • VoidHL VoidHL (@VoidHL) reported

    Overwatch 1 needs a emergency fix, the fact that cree can counter a doom by existing drops me 100sr and puts me in a loss streak

  • ExiledMythos ExiledMythos (@ExiledMythos) reported

    @Garregrrt I really doubt it. Overwatch 2 is Overwatch but with balance changes that took them way to long to add and still has a bunch of unresolved issues and I doubt ppl will really care about the PVE at least in long term. Warzone 2 I also doubt because knowing the COD team

  • Snooze833 Aethernaut 🇺🇸🇪🇸 (@Snooze833) reported

    @TTVImWindow @OverwatchEU The characters looking the same isn’t a problem bro. What is a problem, is the characters playing the exact same as they did when overwatch stopped getting support

  • AlexOlorin9 @bysswalker (@AlexOlorin9) reported

    @Stu_InSomnia @The_Ant_17 Yes, plus entire state of play all correct and no errors, Overwatch 2 free to play, release date accurate of TLOUP1 and added PC emoji

  • Mavrik2daWorld Mach 575🌊🚀 (@Mavrik2daWorld) reported

    @BlessingJr TELL THE WHOLE DAMN TRUTH bcuz mane when I look at overwatch I can’t help but to glimpses of that game missions was cool just that big ahh glitch dat wipe everything zip zilch nada it was so bad I thought it was gone mess up my console

  • DarksideStraxus Avocado Aficionado (@DarksideStraxus) reported

    Overwatch 2 going F2P means that it's gonna be riddled with microtransactions. Gotta love that "games as a service" business model!

  • ShootzandLoots ShootzandLoots 🏳️‍🌈 (@ShootzandLoots) reported

    Overwatch 2 battle pass gonna be 100% trash. And it’s Free to Play. **** i may not even download it. Smurfing and botting is gonna be so much easier in Overwatch now. Way to make an already bad problem with even worse.

  • AdamMarkowski Adam Markowski (@AdamMarkowski) reported

    @Nibellion Why are they still shitting out new heroes? It will only create more balance issues. I really would like game to finally have some sort of plot because we've been stuck with vague origin story and Overwatch almost, just about to, soon, in a moment getting together.

  • TalesOfBelle beebee (@TalesOfBelle) reported

    overwatch pve as part of the live service model. all hope is lost. gg
