    Bro these overwatch devs are retarded. These people have been doing this **** for like 8+ years and they still can’t defend against an attack. Yet nobody sees fortnite get attacked by DDoS attacks

    Overwatch servers down?? #Overwatch2

  • marissa_denee15 Bubbly Murza (@marissa_denee15) reported

    @Qwik It's also a huge problem that yall are not letting players play because our phone numbers aren't good enough for your servers. Truly a let down overwatch thanks for nothing wasted money and I can't even play.

  • stxfie stef ^^ (@stxfie) reported

    If overwatch doesn't sort itself by tommorow imma have to fix it myself

  • Quirky88 Quirky (@Quirky88) reported

    Have I really just sat in the queue from 40000 down to 40 to then be hit with ‘Unexpected Server Error’ and then be sent back into the queue at 40000? 🙃 What ******** Overwatch @PlayOverwatch

  • Br1Ghtestday BR1GHTESTDAY (@Br1Ghtestday) reported

    Got into overwatch 2 for a couple games then it got an error code and put back in queue so tomorrow the grind begins

  • bristldapistol deadbeat dad (@bristldapistol) reported

    wanted to get a lil overwatch 2 video in tn but since i can sign in i guess i’ll do it tmr

  • shubniggarath Martin Roofer King™ (@shubniggarath) reported

    Damn @Blizzard_Ent. Sure would be nice if I had another Overwatch game so that I could continue to play while this new one launches. It's almost like anyone with half a brain would've known we'd have connection issues at launch.

  • ThePandrus 🎃Pumpkin Spice Samtté🎃 (@ThePandrus) reported

    Well, I'm in the known issues category... In overwatch, though you would be forgiven for thinking otherwise. The account merge is causing me to get unexpected server errors and refuses my password. Dragonflight better be smoother than this i swear to god... @BlizzardCSEU_EN

  • GulagKinggg A D A M 🐉 (@GulagKinggg) reported

    I call bullshit on the whole DDOS attack overwatch servers. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just an excuse for a rocky launch.

    @UbisoftSupport Yo why is Overwatch 2 not working? Thanks homies

  • Vasilisa995 Asha Skywalker (@Vasilisa995) reported

    Thank goodness I did not get into Overwatch 2, as I hear it has issues. And from what I've seen, it's basically an update to Overwatch.

  • wadadosie cailyn 🝮 TROUBLESHOOTER 10/13 (@wadadosie) reported

  • zMaxfn DVS zMax (@zMaxfn) reported

    Overwatch servers down??

  • nlrittenhouse Nathan Rittenhouse 🇺🇦✊❤️ (@nlrittenhouse) reported

    After waiting 20 minutes to login to a server, I got to play 15 glorious minutes of Overwatch 2 before the game froze and crashed. Back to the login screen where I once again get the login error. 🫤 #Overwatch2 #launch

  • AlexbasicGaming Alex B. (@AlexbasicGaming) reported

  • gnarly_ghost_ eri 🌙🌑 (@gnarly_ghost_) reported

    trying to play overwatch 2 and it’s telling me my account was shut down for suspicious activity but I can sign in on the launcher and my phone just fine

  • pinkfantasylive PINK IS 🔴 NOW LIVE ON TWITCH! (@pinkfantasylive) reported

    Today was just an epic day of streaming. 18hrs being live starting with Overwatch reruns last night proved to be a smart move. The category was empty since the servers were down, but people still wanted their OW fix. Results? 48 new followers, 2 new subscribers, 7 raids,

  • soldier24th SILAS﹗ (@soldier24th) reported
