  • atl2s atlas (@atl2s) reported

    overwatch 2 feels really bad to play. doesn't feel as smooth as overwatch 1. it was like this in the OPR too, but i thought they'd fix it with the official release.

  • Evil_Tux EvilTux (@Evil_Tux) reported

    I find it funny how a few people who are "streaming" Overwatch 2 have been having issues connecting and been sitting in queue. This takes me back to the days of WoW and the first few expansions. You'd think they would have learned since back then.

  • vonelliott vonelliott (@vonelliott) reported

    @BlizzardCS What about the unexpected "Sorry, the Overwatch free trial is not available at this time" error?

  • MudkipSmexy Boycott Netflix 🫡🪨🌊 (@MudkipSmexy) reported

  • CHAINSAWKlD Grim 𒉭 (@CHAINSAWKlD) reported

    @ReadRevengers @PlayOverwatch trust me brother this has happened before for me with other games. it works out in the end. just a few server issues. and overwatch is a big game with no pay to play now. so some BIG issues will happen go a while

  • christo25735373 christopher (@christo25735373) reported

    @battlenet up your agent I can't even login to my account and download overwatch thought a big company like you could handle more player

  • elysiann_rrat ramen🍜✌️ (@elysiann_rrat) reported

    overwatch 2 launch day problems, a thread: - only earn ingame money through challenges or buying - ingame challenges dont give you enough to buy the new battlepass at the end of the season (you gotta play it for TWO WEEKS for ONE voiceline!!!!)

  • TyraAllenn Tyra (@TyraAllenn) reported

    Not me waiting 40 mins to get on to overwatch 2 for it to have server errors and not let me onto the game and put me back into the queue with 40k people head of me

  • senan_redmond Senan Redmond (@senan_redmond) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch . Any chance of a free code for diablo immortal items while the entire overwatch community continues to wait on your broken servers on a launch you weren't prepared for ******* **** show. #Overwatch2 #ratherplaypaladins

  • JEEGoodwin Timeskip (@JEEGoodwin) reported

    Bold decision to make Overwatch 2 an infinite login screen but I commend Blizzard for trying something different

  • PotatoLegionYT PotatoLegion (@PotatoLegionYT) reported

    Overwatch servers are down and not working. Legit like 2 hours queing and nothing soooo. I'll try again tomorrow!

  • LuffySex69 Luffy Sex (@LuffySex69) reported

    5th time of Overwatch 2 making me requeue AUTOMATICALLY instead of putting me in a server. Wtf Blizzard fix your ******* game! It's a simple patch NOT A NEW GAME and maybe you should prioritize the people who spent money on your game first instead of freetoplay kids just saying.

  • odinskyhammer Odinskyhammer (@odinskyhammer) reported

    How weird that big streamers are on overwatch 2 while all the rest are conveniently having server issues.

  • c_6ell ç○łt○ń 6ėłł (@c_6ell) reported

  • SamuraiGekko Gekko (@SamuraiGekko) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent Fix your servers please I'm trying to play Overwatch 2

  • Cuppa36505515 Cuppa (@Cuppa36505515) reported

    @Stylosa honestly after my 8th restart of the game and launching it 2 hours ago, I'm done with overwatch 2 already, mates seem to have no problem getting into the game and yet I'm here still f*ing waiting.....

  • CjKingAnimation Cjking_SB4Q (@CjKingAnimation) reported

    Love that @PlayOverwatch told us all to link our accounts for Day 1 of Overwatch 2 and to be prepared....and doing that has now caused an error to where if you've done that and were proactive...you can't play. #Overwatch2 #overit

  • castilloenriq16 Enrique (@castilloenriq16) reported

    @BlizzardCS Talk about a launch day! I remember overwatch day 1 we just got it and logged in no problem! 3 years later players can’t log in and access paid content looks like I’m gonna get a refund and just play for free

  • ganjanath EnlightenedGanjanath (@ganjanath) reported

    @Grimsheepers @OverwatchEU ....with real money. Blizzard was able to make Overwatch because of passion, not greed, blizzard was already financially well off. Sure theres other issues going on the last few years, but look at how much money they made off of the new diablo mobile game.

  • NekoTCGCollect NekoTCGCollect (@NekoTCGCollect) reported

    @vctrfs @PlayOverwatch First problem, it’s overwatch Second problem, there’s a 2 following it

  • TringyV2 🐝 Tringy 🐝 (@TringyV2) reported

    LMFAOOOO Overwatch 2 experienced an "Unexpected server error". Been waiting for 0 people in queue for minutes. How yall a billion dollar company??

  • Alex82507317 Alex (@Alex82507317) reported

    Whenever a hyped free2play game comes out it has queue issues. Overwatch 2 isn't an exception

  • candlenookco Jacob (@candlenookco) reported

    So overwatch streamers get to play with no lag and log in as soon as possible yet everyone else has to wait including people who bought the watch point pack? Not starting of very good #Overwatch2

  • AhaMomagic Momagic | Nekoween (@AhaMomagic) reported

    Not sitting in a ******* 30 minute queue twice Overwatch. Fix your ****.

  • hockeyspaz62 H🎮CKEYSPAZ62🇺🇸 (@hockeyspaz62) reported

    @PlayOverwatch My que was 30,000, then an error, dropped to 80, jumped up to 20,000 and has bet. Stuck there for 45 minutes. #Overwatch owners should have gotten early access. This #F2P is a mess.

  • Fruitraka Charlie 🐯 YEAR OF THE TAIGA 🐯 (@Fruitraka) reported

    Wow I played a match of Overwatch 2 somehow and it actually feels WAY better than the beta did, usually betas do feel a lot different but now the actual game feels way better to me. It was actually lag free and smooth too but that won't last I bet LOL
