  • meltedmers 💥 Mer 💥 (@meltedmers) reported

    If my skins and stats don’t appear for Overwatch 2 I swear to god…. Over 300 hours with Moira would be lost, including ALL of her skins which I had collected AND the cute spray that took me years to earn and literally all of her cosmetics. Left the game hoping it was a glitch

  • TheDORIANGRAE DORIANGRÆ λ 🇫🇷 🇯🇵 🇰🇷 (@TheDORIANGRAE) reported

    Seen enough Overwatch for now, too many people on. Disconnects and lag. I'm liking what I'm seeing though

  • arIebinaz (@arIebinaz) reported

    OVERWATCH PLS LET ME IN THATS LIKE MY 5TH LOGIN ERROR

  • OneSpeedyBoi1 Soup (@OneSpeedyBoi1) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent I’m currently having problems with the game Overwatch 2, with it saying I’m playing the trial of Overwatch 2 and not the base game. It’s just not letting me in and saying the trial is not playable at this time even though I’m just trying to play.

  • Flurpledur Flurpledur (@Flurpledur) reported

    Pretty sure I can't play Overwatch 2 because I have to link a phone number to my account. This is stupid because I haven't had phone service in like a year. So now I can't play this game even though I bought the original Overwatch @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent

  • tinybatsignal Ian (@tinybatsignal) reported

    I am happy to report that Overwatch 2 is literally just Overwatch, again. With all the same issues. People still don't know how to play for OBJs. Characters still feel awkwardly/poorly balanced. All the highlights you'd expect from a team based FPS made by Blizzard.

  • Chr0nicleShad0w ChronicleShadow (@Chr0nicleShad0w) reported

    Amazing how all of the big streamers are able to load in to Overwatch 2 with no server issues and everyone else has been try to load into the game for nearly 3 hours #Overwatch2 #Blizzard

  • FatalisReigns Ratha, 100 sub goal reached! (@FatalisReigns) reported

    @Qwik why not release this as an official statement from the bnet launcher, news page or Overwatch twitter account so people dont have to check multiple accounts to figure out whats going on lol all the launcher says is "theres an issue" ???

  • AyeeFausto PapiFaust (@AyeeFausto) reported from Bronx, New York

    1. Long *** que(waitied approximately 20 mins) but got in the game only to see i had nothing(even though i owned the first overwatch and got the watch point edition) except 2k in game currency. Was told i had to restard my game to fix this

  • Curious_Catx Catx. (@Curious_Catx) reported

    Old raging Cat is about to show her claws because I am SO DONE with this Overwatch 2 launch bullshit, I ain't even playin'. Two hours and we have literally not even seen a menu. Blaming DDOS like a cop out. Spit on it.

  • DonisTyp Typh before christmas (@DonisTyp) reported

    overwatch been out for almost 3 hours and there’s still connection errors

  • Clarence_Pryor Clarence Alexander Pryor 🏳️‍🌈 (@Clarence_Pryor) reported

    @BlizzardCS I have an SMS problem. I can't play Overwatch 2 because of some phone number problem. Looks like it's the end for me to hopefully play Overwatch 2.

  • Fireson26 Fireson18 (@Fireson26) reported

    I love how the Overwatch 2 experience for me so far has being sat in a queue and then seeing the queue reset for no reason because of some “error” like let me play the game

  • JoshFlo77262555 Josh Flores (@JoshFlo77262555) reported

    Blizzard fix your game. Nothing transferred over from OW1 and I lost half the heroes. I've been playing for years now and this is what I get for OW2? I seriously have to start over? 😒 get it together. @playoverwatch #overwatch #Overwatch2 #blizzard
