    @TheActMan_YT The problem I'm seeing is that people don't realize that it's the same thing that overwatch 1 did. If you give money(which overwatch 1 you had to buy) you get all. Overwatch 2 you can buy to get them. This just gives a alternative route to those who don't want to pay

  • nick_the_creato nicholas windham (@nick_the_creato) reported

    @BlizzardCS I messed up merging my battlenet account and my ps4 account is there any way to fix this so I can get the progress I had from the original overwatch?

  • AstraeaSoleil ✨🎇 10/10 Birthday Dragon 🎇✨ (@AstraeaSoleil) reported

    Is literally ANYONE else having their computer bluescreen crash after downloading overwatch 2?????? I literally feel like I updated everything I could have and my computer has been blue screening ever since and I'm literally getting ready to cry violently.

    @BlizzardCS Hi! I had purchased the overwatch watchpoint pack during the beta on Xbox and now I'm not getting any of the bonuses it included when I get into Overwatch 2. Is this a known issue and how will it be resolved?

  • RinaWildflower Rina 🌿 Andreina (@RinaWildflower) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent - How mismanaged is your IT/Cyber Response Team? Such a simple task to remediate/recover from a DDOS attack. You all knew Overwatch 2 was set to release and you failed to implement proper technical controls to ensure the product deployment and accessibility.-MrLinux

  • LostFaithHalo BooFaithHalo || Pillow (@LostFaithHalo) reported

    @NotGreekFire I blame you for the reason why I can’t login to overwatch 2 now. They know I make the game fun

  • LoLoLovestoRave LoLo (@LoLoLovestoRave) reported

    Overwatch 2 Day 2 was able to sign in (once) still don’t have my Watchpoint Pack Nice 👍

  • calvinxbt calvin (@calvinxbt) reported

    taking bets on if putin is or is not blamed for the overwatch 2 #DDoS ODDS. is to blame - 1/0.0001 is not to blame - 1/100000000000

  • Oreojaffa1 OJ1 (@Oreojaffa1) reported

    Overwatch servers are getting ddos so hard

  • Moonsliced Robert (@Moonsliced) reported

    @BlizzardCS hey im not sure if this is a known issue but i purchased 1000 overwatch coins and it isnt showing up? Hope this gets resolved soon, would love to finally get the battle pass

  • Rathbaume Rathbaume (@Rathbaume) reported

    @AcidQueenOW I am getting the "I am from overwatch 1 linked my stuff and therefore get the random unknown error bug" that isnt ddos its literally in their known issues....it also helps to update your customer support website more than once in 24 hours if you are having a terrible launch.

  • Mayhem2579_GNM Mayhem2579 (@Mayhem2579_GNM) reported

    @itslaundryy Worried that I might not be able to play Overwatch 2 tonight. The servers still having some problems signing players in and having to wait in line for hours 😟

  • Femioxi Jerilyn♡ (@Femioxi) reported

    OW2 FIX . Launch Overwatch Wait until you get “failed blah blah” Open task manager End program for OW2 and Battlenet Open battlenet Scan Repair OW2 Launch OW2 (After a couple tries you’ll still get the fail but you will get in a lot faster) tested with a few people 1/2

  • xdametualma Rachel (@xdametualma) reported

    alright man's if blizzard cant fix this stupid ridiculous server issues already im gonna flip why do this? should have just kept overwatch how it was instead of trying to hype it up again just to get another reason people are disappointed in this ****

  • stormflight2106 shadow48013 (@stormflight2106) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent I have had overwatch 2 downloaded since launch and it is refusing to let me even into the game. It keeps saying login error even though I have restarted my system and waited an entire day after launch to play. This is ridiculous

  • partialartist18 Martin (@partialartist18) reported

    @Lord_Doom_1 @dxrkvoids If only that were possible. The problem is overwatch 2 is a giant update to overwatch 1, so you can’t even go back to overwatch 1 if you tried.

  • Handsome_Jake_ Tribune of the Plebs (@Handsome_Jake_) reported

    Wait are the Overwatch servers down for real now

  • NurpTheThird he/theyn (@NurpTheThird) reported

    I hate Blizzard and **** Overwatch 2, but temper your frustrations about the DDoS situation. Its a targeted attack on the OW2 servers, and that shouldn't reflect how bad the game is. Every other part of it should

  • GayVinJackal Vinchenzo The Jackal (@GayVinJackal) reported

    @ThisBeSpitfire Overwatch 2 looks like it has promise but it is plagued with problems. Among them include protesting players who are angry that the Overwatch 1 characters are locked behind a paywall to people DDoS'ing the game on launch day to sabotage the launch, to scummy business practices.

  • MooreDausen Dausen Moore (@MooreDausen) reported

    @Berryz___ @BlizzardCS @batu16458157 It's ridiculous to expect me to swap phone plans just to play Overwatch. Blizzard needs to fix this.

  • casual_kori 98% Brat(z-Doll) (@casual_kori) reported

    Overwatch 2 is getting DDOS more than kiwifarms

  • CosmicThePig Spooky Boinga. (@CosmicThePig) reported

    Nah mate at this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if the person doing the DDoS attacks on Overwatch 2 is a TF2 megafan.

  • healzwho healzwho (@healzwho) reported

    @K4IROS_VI no i havnt even seen the fuckn menu for overwatch 2 im playing queue/ login fail sim for the past 24 hours now

  • ZombiAssassin Zombi (@ZombiAssassin) reported

    However, I'm not seeing the contents from the Watchpoint Pack I bought in June 30th for the Overwatch 2 beta. I'm not sure if it's because I have the game on PS5 and not PS4 or I just have to wait since this is an issue happening with alot of people @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS

  • s4lamy س (@s4lamy) reported

    overwatch 2 not letting me sign in??? @PlayOverwatch
