  • SlavetotheCaff1 Slave to the Caffeine (@SlavetotheCaff1) reported

    @nnoouuvv the phone number thing is an answer to the massive Smurfing problem overwatch 1 had.

  • GnSleeptyte Sleepy🌕💤 They/Them (@GnSleeptyte) reported

    I am however very patient and really enjoy the original Overwatch and I’m not all too disappointed with the product at face value. I wish i could say the problems didn’t taint my enjoyment that much but ultimately once resolved ill still likely end up playing it religiously.

  • lylonxx pix (@lylonxx) reported

    for all you overwatch 2 console players on ps5, it let me in and gave me the option to transfer my switch stuff (it didn’t last night when it let me in) and am able to play, My gfs PS4 isnt letting her in though. FIX THE SERVERS QUICKLY PLEASE @PlayOverwatch

  • andreluzandylux ANDRÉ LUZ & ANDY LUX (@andreluzandylux) reported

  • dag2pt0 Steven Clark (@dag2pt0) reported

    @BlizzardCS I purchased an overwatch 2 1000 credit bundle last night on the Xbox marketplace. I have a receipt and charge for the credits, but my account has a balance of 0 still. Is there an ETA on when these issues will be resolved?

  • 0en_gus ✨💛yeen machine💛✨ (@0en_gus) reported

    @EtheriousWolfKi It’s like this game was in development officially since 2019, so I don’t understand the amount of problems and issues, I shouldn’t have to wait an hour to play a game that I had before and could play whenever. I payed for overwatch 1 and now I can’t even use the purchase I made

  • THATCriz 𝖛𝖎𝖛𝖊𝖘 𝖊𝖝𝖕𝖊𝖗𝖙🌸 (@THATCriz) reported

    Damn i really spent an hour on queue for overwatch 2, went down to 40 players before me just to get an error and getting booted back to 2k before me LMFAO

  • KerrFindlay2 Kerr Findlay (@KerrFindlay2) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN Has there been a fix for all missing skins and items, I still don’t have anything that I used to have from Overwatch 1

  • verraiseme Coda🦉 (@verraiseme) reported

    hey @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent your system won't let me add my 5+ year old phone number because it has pre-paid service. Please address this so I can play Overwatch 2 with my friends. It'd be 30+/mo. more to get a post-paid contract just to play a f2p game

  • Heatthaha Josh (@Heatthaha) reported

    So do I ever actually get to play Overwatch or is it just gonna tell me "failed to login" after forcing me to sit in a queue only?

  • Kyle_Levey Taichou (@Kyle_Levey) reported

    1999 people ahead in queue for Overwatch 2… this message has been on my screen for 10 minutes now. Hasn’t moved and no disconnect error. What a goddamn joke!

  • MrDessel Dessel | got robbed of two shirts (80€) at rhcp (@MrDessel) reported

    @PlayOverwatch can yall fix my account i played the original overwatch and now i dont have any of the heroes

  • brodeity ELLIOT 😇 (@brodeity) reported

    ok one major issue of overwatch 2 for me (30 of you are already scrolling past this tweet, rolling your eyes) is that the matches just ******* end right as you see results. no discussions in chat, no voting or stats to see who did what, just dumped right out with maybe a "gg"

  • dark0past dark0past (@dark0past) reported

    @BlizzardCS I cannot play Overwatch 2 due to lack of phone number, I cannot use my phone number due to different region, so I need to change my region/country, but your website self service to change region/country is not working for me since yesterday.

  • LyonHart_ Dennis =චᆽච= (@LyonHart_) reported

    Still can't login to Overwatch lol. I'm gonna go ahead and assume that the game is actually launching next week. Maybe the week after.

  • Bellabridjon Bellabridjon (@Bellabridjon) reported

    Is anyone having issues buying skins and such in Overwatch 2? My unlock button is grayed out when I have 35k legacy credits to use. I can’t find anything on this bug. Most of my friends can purchase with their credits. @PlayOverwatch @OverwatchHelp #overwatch2 #overwatch2help

  • I_AM_MADMONKEY mad society (@I_AM_MADMONKEY) reported

    Won't stream overwatch 2 due to the ddos

  • theastrotyler Tyler (@theastrotyler) reported

    If all of my stuff from Overwatch 1 doesn’t carry over into 2 by the time they “fix” this I’m goin to be so pissed y’all. You can’t promise that all your stuff will carry over and then not deliver on it.

  • RaphaelArctic ❄️Raphael❄️ (@RaphaelArctic) reported

    TF2's Scream Fortress Update was perfectly timed with Overwatch's broken servers so we can all go back to playing the better game

  • SlimeWormy Joseph (@SlimeWormy) reported
