    Feel sorry for all the folks trying to play Overwatch 2 recently. Not cause of launch issues or anything but because you’re willingly playing Overwatch 2

  • DrewNewtype Drew Bootype (@DrewNewtype) reported

    Overwatch 2's launch is a disaster for issues their fault and not, but ya'll turning heel on it just because of a few days of login issues makes you look like absolute giant babies.

  • YuriFerrazLima Yuri Ferraz Lima (@YuriFerrazLima) reported

    Blizzard why did you mess up so badly the Overwatch 2? Now I can't play my favorite game... Now what we have is lag, crashes, and I can't even login.

  • AgentOttsel Agent Ottsel ⚡ (@AgentOttsel) reported

    My Overwatch 2 experience so far: - Start the game, there are 499 players ahead of me in the queue. Wait a bit, then get a Failed to Connect error. - Try again a few hours later. 599 players ahead of me, but the number starts going down until it's finally my turn, except...

  • 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

  • Hat3rs_C00l Evan Sherman The Goat (@Hat3rs_C00l) reported

    @Qwik joke of a person, joke of a company. Full 24 hours passed yet no updates for the server problems for overwatch 2. What a ****** joke. Mike if you were in front of me, I’d spit in your face you ******* ******. Leaving the community in the dust

  • Travjlee101 HondaCivic (@Travjlee101) reported

    @TheActMan_YT It always done that with Overwatch. If you fail to log in due to server issues, it asks for your log in details. No idea why, it just always been like that.

  • Shannonx___ Shannon🤍 (@Shannonx___) reported

    i was so excited to get back into overwatch but i’ve been in a queue for 8 hours in total and haven’t been let on once. yet others are being let in with no issues? okay lol. would be lying if i said i wasn’t a bit pissed off 😬

  • EliAs_0507 Eliasnov (@EliAs_0507) reported

    Is it normal that I was lagging playing @PlayOverwatch from the Philippines in Americas server? #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

  • 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.
