    Wellp. Overwatch 2 just locked me out of characters I already had for being a veteran player, and it seems like they haven't fixed this issue for a week now. Not gonna be touching the game till this gets resolved.

    First Time User Experience needs to be scrapped completely if it's going to be an issue once more with the possibility of randomly locking characters out for Overwatch 1 players any time.

  • SuttleHemi Chagan (@SuttleHemi) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I am glad you guys release OVERWATCH 2, but it is really OVERWATCH 1. The only change is that OVERWATCH 2 is quite literally unplayable you removed more then a third of the characters to fix a “bug” #wewantjeffback wtf is happening at blizzard fix your ****

  • onalark Ol' Haunted Stephanie (Paddock||Shaver) 👻 (@onalark) reported

    Went to play Overwatch, half my heroes are locked despite owning the Battlepass, logging in and out doesn't fix it, check the forums and twitter and it looks like I'm not alone. Best of luck, CS pals. I guess this is as good a time as any time make dinner.

  • ElementalDAR ElementalDAR (@ElementalDAR) reported

    Half of my characters on #Overwatch are locked out now for some reason. But I'm sure the small indie company #blizzard is doing everything it can to fix the problems.

  • kapnsn0w THE LOST LANDS CONSENT🍑🔜Okee (@kapnsn0w) reported

    Hey @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch how about you guys cut the bullshit and give us all back the Overwatch we paid for instead of this broken piece of unfinished **** you all felt was ready for launch. Stop making us pay for your mistakes after you TOOK AWAY A WORKING GAME!

  • calebngwy Caleb Ng (@calebngwy) reported

    After installing and playing OW2 I run into a new problem every now and then. After using chrome, browsing and using YT or FB. It causes a problem where my game is super laggy. Loading will look like a slideshow. #PC #Overwatch Not sure if it’s a driver issue.

  • sebsackiner sebs (@sebsackiner) reported

    @davidthehedghog he'll be back, if you go on overwatch's twitter it says he's being put under rework, probably due to the incoming bastion glitch that was being abused
