    massive lag spikes in Overwatch tonight

  • PolarIntersect Bailey 💜 (@PolarIntersect) reported

    @cednati0n If you think it's an issue in Destiny, try playing Overwatch. I literally got banned from Overwatch because a bunch of people started reporting me for being trans as "abusive chat".

  • BFCommPolls BF:2042 Community Polls (@BFCommPolls) reported

    Sorry for redoing the tweet, had an issue with poll attaching to it. As a reference, overwatch typically is patched every two, sometimes 3 weeks.

  • OrigiGreatness OddAIs #HokagoPlushClub🐰 (@OrigiGreatness) reported

    @Dal_ayy @shadow_griever @theDualSense Cod, wow, overwatch, diablo, crash, spyro, etc

  • aerinie rin 🏳️‍⚧️ (@aerinie) reported

    even taking the entire body of hadm that nfts cause to both the art community at large and the environment AND how crypto capitalism poses a massive threat to poor people, do you not think overwatch "fans" will have a problem with the gpu bubble driving consumers out the market

  • BaeroRemedy Remedy (@BaeroRemedy) reported

    @FRANA_OW Overwatch is bad and so are NFTs. There. Problem solved.

  • catpawhss adelaide (unavailable) (@catpawhss) reported

    was having trouble joining voice chat for overwatch and gf left the room then came back going “BLGBLGBLGLBLGB” and didn’t realize i had figured it out when she was gone LMAO 😭

    WANN IST VALORANT ZU EINER ******* COD/OVERWATCH MISCHUNG GEWORDEN RIOT FIX YOUR ******* GAME

  • Josh2747919 Josh (@Josh2747919) reported

    it takes a special kind of incompetence to actively **** up a live service game that started that well but that team managed it so not really sure I would be proud of calling myself "ex-Overwatch"

  • zackarya9272 Zakaria Hamidi | زكرياء حميدي 🇩🇿 (@zackarya9272) reported

    @hard8_times Sekiro - crash and spyro triloy - overwatch from Activision blizzard Doom / Wolfenstein / the evil within 2 from Bethesda

  • SDFRiver [G1] SDF River (@SDFRiver) reported

    Going to give @PaladinsGame a shot to get my Overwatch fix. Looks promising and @watsonameliaEN voicing is a bonus.

  • AsheMercymaker Amélie Lacroix (Multi muse) (@AsheMercymaker) reported

    @WhorishTracer “Chérie I haven’t had a reason to kill you for nearly three years. In fact the only reason I’ve not tried to form any sort of alliance with my organization and Overwatch is due to those broken relationships and trust issues.. Maybe you’ll tell them of my friendly hello?”

  • stratiSphere Alex Stratis (@stratiSphere) reported

    How do you know the Overwatch is broken? Because smurfs are running rampant, bypassing matchmaking. Want to reset your exp lvl so the game doesn't know what your skill level is? Buy a new account and the game will think you are new and match you with new players. @PlayOverwatch

  • SatayPollo_EXE Dolores Madrigal superfan (@SatayPollo_EXE) reported

    Anyway **** take and I'm sure there's other series that have the same problem but I really only hear this said about overwatch (RWBY apparently???? ) I hate overwatch btw

  • aqshamuhammad muhammad aqsha (@aqshamuhammad) reported

    @rechzyfirmnsyah fix overwatch

  • BlondiiSwag Blondii (@BlondiiSwag) reported

    yo @CORSAIR your ICUE program gives driver errors to overwatch, wanna talk about it? Took me a few days to figure out crashes, but its all youuuuuu

  • juan_kruh Juan Kruh (@juan_kruh) reported

    @Darccage Ips that Xbox stole from Playstation Users -Elder Scrolls -Fallout -Doom -Wolfenstein -Overwatch -Call of Duty -Tony Hawk -Crash -Spyro -Diablo -Starcraft -Warcraft Ips that Sony stole from Xbox Users -Sunset Overdrive

  • BoydNanookm Gamer Dad (@BoydNanookm) reported

    @RitterVitaly @XcloudTimdog Yep there's Crash & Spyro, also they have development, aside from CoD, Diablo 4 & Overwatch 2. Furthermore they have extant games that aren't on console such as WoW, Starcraft, Hearthstone to name a few that could be for the 1st time. No offense but your assurance is meaningless.

  • CressOfLight David Dunlop (@CressOfLight) reported

    @TheRealGoomi @Canadianguyehh Exactly how i feel lol, Crash & Spyro being Xbox exclusives was the only thing that bumped me, it didn't even bother me they have COD, Overwatch & others.

  • Shokio_YT TLOC | Shokio (@Shokio_YT) reported

    With their acquisitions, Microsoft could actually do a crossover fighter now that wouldn't have a completely laughable roster. Between Banjo, Halo, Gears, Spyro, Crash, Overwatch, WoW, Starcraft, and Bethesda's IP's, they could have a pretty solid roster.

  • TheSchutter Ernie Schutt (@TheSchutter) reported

    @JeremyPenter It would've been crazy if Nintendo could've done it imagine Crash and Spyro as Nintendo characters and overwatch 2 being a huge switch exclusive

  • MikeDaLGND MIKE 🤪 (@MikeDaLGND) reported

    The way I see this deal going is simple. Existing multiplatform franchises like COD, Spyro/Crash, Diablo, and Overwatch will still release on PS4 and PS5 as planned. Should a studio choose to work on a new IP or dormant franchise, it MIGHT be Seried X/S exclusive.

  • SmokeKaon Joey (@SmokeKaon) reported

    @Illi90842965 @ScottJund Ahah. Same can happened to console. I remember an exploit on console Overwatch where some players could make people lag or even disconnect them.

  • optyck rosi 🧨 (@optyck) reported

    I’m gonna get banned on overwatch for telling ppl to stop making their dads not loving them a me problem.

  • Rumotu Gotta go fat (@Rumotu) reported

    @AutoDraws Imagine all the FF 7R sales spike on pc right now. If overwatch taught me something, that's it. And to think that people was not liking the pc price for the game. Problem solved.

  • everplay3 everplay (@everplay3) reported

    @BIizzardSupport hello i'm european and i play overwatch but since more than a month the game keep sending me to the korea server making the game unplayable because of the ping is there anything i can do to solve that issue ? (yes the europe server are selected)

  • DioGomes13 YamiDiddz (@DioGomes13) reported

    @NyykaVevo @cronieees @IGN I agree. I dont see Xboz buying this studios and making all the games exclusive. Skyrim, COD, Overwatch, Diablo. I dont see any of these games being exclusives ever. Deathloop, Spyro, Dishonored, Crash Bandicoot on the other hand are a different story.

  • softshonen meowthew✨BDOG DAY+1 (@softshonen) reported

    why did they have to ruin overwatch so bad, be everyone still wants to play it even tho it’s hot garbage and they still don’t fix it ;-;
