  • OwlexanderH OwlexanderH (@OwlexanderH) reported

    overwatch underlines my problem with the games as a service model, it might sound like a good deal, but the game can just be turned off if/when that becomes profitable

  • Cheese_Ho12 Cheese! (@Cheese_Ho12) reported

    @XboxSupport Is there a solution to the log in errors and 30k long queue for Overwatch 2?

  • dbzking541 dbzking541 (@dbzking541) reported

    @hamezfr @PlayOverwatch The fact that u don’t understand any of this is funny glad I don’t have to explain it to u so many people already did it will be funny if after saying this u end up having the same problem cause if u got pre paid phone u won’t be able to play overwatch

  • dbzking541 dbzking541 (@dbzking541) reported

    @NezhaHyuga @hamezfr @PlayOverwatch That’s the problem that most these dumb people don’t realize most people with a certain type of phone plan can’t play it if u got cricket no overwatch for u

  • llDeceptiJonll DeceptiJon (@llDeceptiJonll) reported

    Asia Server seems to be a bit more stable to login. Still have a 2000 player queue though 😭 #Overwatch

  • VivaLaVince1 Vincent 🎃 (@VivaLaVince1) reported

    @Qwik DDos nah I don't think so,when overwatch 2 has got 500k viewers on twitch which I'm guessing they're trying to log in and its free to play...

  • Shpammmmuh Oscar😵‍💫 (@Shpammmmuh) reported

    @BlizzardCS hi I just launch overwatch 2 and none of my progress from the first game transferred over is there a way to fix this?

  • SwagPunchaHo Swagatron (@SwagPunchaHo) reported

    @Vision12_ does this fix the overwatch 2 servers as well?

  • ZoeVengeancea7x shewolf cosplay🍕 (@ZoeVengeancea7x) reported

    @Qwik I've waited more than 2 hours to get on, any time the queue goes from 60,000 it goes to server error and restarts. It's making me want to never play overwatch again

  • IronWolfNet_ Iron Wolf | Halloween Ends 🎃 (@IronWolfNet_) reported

    I loaded in Overwatch 2 & saw the Main Menu Screen & saw a little bit of what was included in battlepass but when I tried purchasing the battlepass since I get it for free since I own Watchpoint Pack, it gave me error saying failed to purchase, I made the mistake by closing game

  • sharklee43 no (@sharklee43) reported

    @Xbox @XboxSupport Overwatch 2 won’t let me play at all. It seems like a few people are having an issue where it says, “The Overwatch free trial is not available at this time”…. What is the issue ?

  • Teddyrick42 42 🐢 (@Teddyrick42) reported

    Lmao overwatch 2 releases and gets DDOS. Maybe be more friendly with 2FA? Just phones and no prepaid is horrible honestly

  • KatsuneUK ❄️ツkinari❄️ (@KatsuneUK) reported

    OVERWATCH SERVERS ARE BEING DDoS'd lmaooooooooo💀 blizzard take a hint, something aint right

  • DetachedClown 𝔍𝔢𝔫𝔫𝔦𝔣𝔢𝔯 (@DetachedClown) reported

    Overwatch please…. This continuous server error is making me angry

  • kuhauffahrrad M.🕊 skür skür (@kuhauffahrrad) reported

    @seanrossc @Tropic_oo I logged and saw all my items are gone, it would be to stupid if you had to log in befor Overwatch 2 launches, i hope it is just a Server issue.

  • TheShadowbladez Shadowbladez, The Taken King 🤴🏽 (@TheShadowbladez) reported

    How y’all got DDoS on the 1st Day ?! Overwatch… I have no words 😶

  • hylian_jpg (@hylian_jpg) reported

    Overwatch shut down their old servers for repurposing them as OW2 servers and they still got DDoS'd lmao

  • ElliottBros1 Jordan Elliott (@ElliottBros1) reported

    Hey @BlizzardCS please fix this thing where we have to have a post paid phone number to sign onto Overwatch 2. I had to borrow my roommate’s phone to log in but I can’t use his number forever. This is so bad.

  • conjuredlion ConjuredLion (@conjuredlion) reported

    Overwatch 2 is going through a DDoS attack, I'm taking a nap 🛌

  • Ryuchan202 Ryuchan20 (@Ryuchan202) reported

    @PlayOverwatch As fun as I'm sure the game is I feel like it's not fun enough to wait OVER 2.5 hours to get in. I'm still in queue and got sent back to 20000 people in front of me after login fail. OVERWATCH EXPLAIN!

  • Foundation_FN Foundation (@Foundation_FN) reported

    @ModernWarzone Why DDOs overwatch other concern doing this or what exactly?

  • kevindeanisback Kevin Dean (@kevindeanisback) reported

    Well I damn well hope @Blizzard_Ent are going to stop selling all versions of #Overwatch considering it is a broken product now because it has gone off-line with no way to access it, because it is extremely illegal to sell broken products to your customers.

  • Jaeger74 Jaeger, Werewolf time! (@Jaeger74) reported

    Destiny 2: We historically have had some of the worst server issues when new content is released Overwatch: Hold my beer

  • Luigi1369420 Luigi (@Luigi1369420) reported

    @POTUS Can you fix overwatch 2

  • Any_broncos_fan Anyone (@Any_broncos_fan) reported

    @Qwik I feel like this was an avoidable issue. The accounts should have been merged months, really even years ago to reward players who supported overwatch with a basic feature. Instead we get locked out day 1 of the new update. Unfriendly consumer policies ftw.

  • WesleyH16368838 Roxas Red Hood (@WesleyH16368838) reported

    I swear if I have issues getting in Overwatch 2 I'mma be confused and slightly frustrated that's it

  • TomiPicklez Tommy Pickles (@TomiPicklez) reported

    @StewieGrifflol @IGN They’re a BILLION dollar company, and have been preparing for Overwatch 2 for years now. It’s not a DDoS attack dude, they’re saying that so they simply don’t have to face the repercussions of their own terrible actions.

  • Tsuki_Seiba 🎃Spooky Seiba🧛 (@Tsuki_Seiba) reported

    If you actually read the report you'd know the Overwatch team had none of those ****** up issues as well.

  • GabeSerling Gabe/Serling 🎭 (@GabeSerling) reported

    If you can't connect to Overwatch 2's NA servers login to the Asia servers! It's SAFE!

  • ObiaXD Obia (@ObiaXD) reported

    Just streamed Overwatch 2 and it ended it the most spectacular way: DDOS attack freeze right as I lose Junkertown 🫠
