@BlizzardCS please fix issue about phone number I’ve been playing overwatch since beta paid at that and due to someone using my number I can not play 2

@dav5811 @CODMW2Informer Yes, everyone. It also has to be a postpaid line, and not a prepaid or VOIP one. People on Overwatch 2 (same account service; Battle net) say Straight Talk is a work around, if you are don't have a postpaid line (i.e Verizon, AT&T, etc..)

@JoopDaStupidMF Problem is he's not wrong. Blizzard is a **** company, and overwatch 2 made their already **** rep even worse. The battle pass and buying new heroes is a ****** idea, plus the queue and adding new coins for event skins is stupid

More Lc-202 errors in Overwatch 2 and now I'm being penalized in Quick Play. I've been playing this game for less than a week and I feel like playing the game is almost not even worth my time. I get it, if the game itself doesn't want me playing then I'll go and play Fortnite.

Overwatch 2 is still so ******* broken. @PlayOverwatch you guys really need to fix the issue where every time someone gets an achievement, they get booted and the error states "connection lost due to profile sign out." Like bro, I didn't sign out! Fix your damn issues!!!!

@xaviersonline If the problem is that it spent the in game tokens people paid money for just give people the tokens that were spent back to them. But that would actually make people say something positive about Overwatch 2 and they don't want that

FIX LC-208
(@squidmanYT) reported
If you are still getting LC-208 in overwatch 2 LIKE AND RETWEET THIS. We need to show blizzard how big of an issue this still is. And we have heard nothing but “We are working on it” Most of us spent money on the battle pass. Refund or fix it @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS #overwatch

Iunno. Granted, I'm not as deeply into this game a some, but if you can just bypass most of the new hardcore-oriented changelog by bumming around in Casual then I don't foresee me having any issues with it. Feels like Overwatch, & I've been away from it so long that's fine by me.

@MastertheShade @Blizzard_Ent @Activision Blizzard implemented a SMS verification for battle net servers to even play Overwatch 2. They made it so if you do not have contractual obligation to a major cell service your number won't be accepted.

@OWAnonymous_ Though I do think they should give you more coins to unlock in the premium pass . I’m just happy to have free cross play overwatch and all my old stuff back from a different platform. They will fix all the bugs soon but when it works it’s phenomenal.

@L3g4cyS70RM @mersaddles @PlayOverwatch Dang man I wish I could say the same. Almost everyone is locked and I don’t even hero challenges to unlock them again. I owned the original overwatch so this shouldn’t even be happening. I’m just screwed out of playing my mains until they fix this

@BlizzardCS I want to be mad about another 4-hour maintenance and the continuing queues in WoW classic, but then I read through these poor Overwatch kids' problems, and I am almost thankful that that is all I am dealing with... jeez Blizz, y'all just can't do anything right..

Can't believe I'm missing lootboxes after being forced to use the battlepass system lol. Monetization of live service games is tough, but the team at Blizzard really needs to tweak their reward/time ratio for Overwatch

@OWAnonymous_ I don’t have a problem with it, a lot of the overwatch 2 reskins are better than some legendary skins

@MVRbozz67LC I've heard with Overwatch they're bending a bit. Service isn't really why they're doing it, it's more about identity verification and ensuring bans stick. Like I said, I'm mixed on the move. I understand it, but leaving out a portion of your player base is quite ******.

One of the problems with early access is you play a game before the hype. I already played Overwatch 2 and at this point, I'm taking a break. But it just released and now I see a bunch of friends playing it. Weird sensation of modern gaming. Might be a PB here somewhere.

@PlayOverwatch Loved playing Overwatch, the game itself is great… Blizzard as a company is horrible and your service and servers are atrocious, spend $40 and played OW1 since 2016 and now all I get is LC-208 error for a week straight with NO fix from blizzard, NO timeframe for a fix, NOTHING!

(@SEPTiCpulse) reported
the problem with overwatch 2 being ftp is that i get a bunch of idiots on my team that don’t know how to play. the fact that i do more damage than the actual dps players as a healer makes no sense. stop rushing in there without a team. @PlayOverwatch

@CloverWzy I had the same issue but it's when I switched off from Overwatch to Apex. OW was fine but Apex on stream was horrible but in game it's fine.
