    @CuckodiIe @Josh_GGGG i dont care about overwatch, i care about people acting like they genuinely give a **** about issues they don't actually.

  • jaltersimP6969 Cielentine (@jaltersimP6969) reported

    @BeaverOTP The change I'm most excited for is the new free to play model. I have a lot of friends that I really wanted to play overwatch with but they couldn't because they weren't too well off financially. But now that problem is solved : )

    To the DDOS attacker of #Overwatch2, I hope you stub your toe every single night this year. @overwatch

  • ursapunk Ursa Punk (@ursapunk) reported

    You’d think after 6 years of Overwatch. You’d think blizzard would protect themselves from ddos attacks. But nope. No one can ******* play

  • SmirkMusic_ ѕмιяк ツ (@SmirkMusic_) reported

    Is Overwatch 2 not working for anyone else?

  • tone_hua Anthony H. (@tone_hua) reported

    @PlayOverwatch people who merged console and PC accounts are not able to login. Please look into this!! #overwatch #ow2

  • nickjcal Nick Calandra (@nickjcal) reported

    The press caught wind of Overwatch 2 asking for phone numbers, when other games have already been doing this for awhile. So it being a sudden problem people are latching onto means they didn’t know other games did this, or are being selectively angry about this in particular.

  • Mykindos Mykindos (@Mykindos) reported

    @BlizzardCS Overwatch is crashing within a couple of minutes of launching for some others and I. No error log or crash message, just instantly closes. Reinstalled the game twice, ran the repair tool twice, followed the crash diagnostics on the overwatch forums, no luck.

  • The_Cheezy88 Thomas (@The_Cheezy88) reported

    @BlizzardCS @ra1nfield Hey blizzard, i have my xbox account linked to my battlenet, but when I login to overwatch 2 there is no way to merge my save progress from OW1. It says I am a level 1 and I have none of the heros or skins unlocked. will this be fixed??

  • bkseventy Bobby (Post-Covid Era) (@bkseventy) reported

    Overwatch 2 getting DDOS'd is just sad man. I hope the future provides technology to easily prevent these kind of attacks from being effective... For now, I play Apex

  • BuyTJandEarl Dead Queen Arc (@BuyTJandEarl) reported

    The “free trial” of overwatch 2 on Xbox turns out to be complete bollocks because whenever I try to login it literally says “Sorry, the Overwatch free trial is not available at this time” like **** off you’re as annoying as a Tesco self scanner

  • Jude18134047 baller (@Jude18134047) reported

    @BlizzardCS I have been waiting to play overwatch 2 but because of my account merge I still can’t get in and I’ve been waiting 4 hours for this issue to be resolved. Is there any timeline for when this will be fixed?

  • recognizedmilk milk (@recognizedmilk) reported

  • PYRO_MANI8C Mark (@PYRO_MANI8C) reported

  • JakeParkerLIVE Jake Parker, M.Ed (@JakeParkerLIVE) reported

    Whoever decided to DDoS the Overwatch 2 servers on release day: Your parents failed you, I hope the delivery driver steals your girl, I hope the wheel on your computer chair falls off, & I hope your toilet never stops flushing so you can’t sleep anymore.

  • BrightsideFPS Brightside | Josh 🌻💙 (@BrightsideFPS) reported

    @froghies I am so sorry.. this rollout is awful and I really hope that the people behind the DDoS attack get punished for this. You're gonna get that experience, trust me. Overwatch 2 is an awesome game! it will be worth the wait
