@rabidchapel apparently part of overwatch 2's new system to combat toxicity, players have to connect a phone number to their account in order to get verified. problem is, they say in their statement that they don't allow phone numbers from prepaid phone companies like cricket etc.

@BerrensJoey You can buy and own Overwatch 2, but you can't play unless you have a contracted mobile phone service. If you don't have a mobile service, use a digital number instead, or even have pre-paid you can't play. All about selling your data.

Imagine waiting years, with no new content and a dying player base, just to sit in a broken queue/server system for the new overwatch game. What a joke

@Blizzard_Ent its actually so beyond unnacceptable that I have to wait behind "2000 players" just to play the new game. FIX YOUR SERVERS. 8 YEARS IN THE MAKING FOR OVERWATCH 2 AND IM STUCK FOR 30 MINUTES AT A TIME JUST TO PLAY.

After further review of the situation, seems like Blizzard decided to launch Overwatch 2 on Solana considering the amount of network errors I’m seeing

@BlizzardCS People are saying they are only missing certain skins and items but I literally am missing 99% of the stuff I had from overwatch 1. Do I just need to keep waiting for a fix or do I have to get additional help?

Overwatch 2 has been so fun. I waited in the 2000 player queue. Finally after waiting it made me login to BattleNet in order to play. After login, it told me it had to restart in order for it to add my account and now I am back in spot 2000 :)

@Tzeriel Try renaming the Overwatch folder in Documents to force it to build a new folder. I've seen this work for some with the same issue. Also apparently some people have turned their anti virus off and that worked.

Switching to 5v5, not allowing more than 1 tank, role queue existing at all. Overwatch 2 is the biggest L blizzard has conceived. It exists as blizzard surrendering to their bad design and not being willing or competent enough to fix it, so they instead remove options and fun

@aaronkellerOW It's been more than 24 hours, FIX YOUR GAME PLEASE. My friends who have NEVER played Overwatch a day in their lives logged onto it on PS4 no problem but a Day One player like me who's been FAITHFUL to everything wrong with your company can't log in??? Should've kept Overwatch 1.

What ******** is happening with Overwatch 2. I've waited over 3 hours and still stuck on "In queue: 2000 players ahead of you". Blame a DDOS though but show no proof 👍🏻 #Overwatch2

@omnicpost Honestly my main three gripes right now are the extreme rubber banding, log in queues, and tiny hit registration. Although they are significant problems, overall I’m excited to see where this leads Overwatch to be, especially because I’m finally trying more characters.

this overwatch 2 launch is fun because i can try to explain my problems with the game and have some overwatch fanboy be like "UHM ACTUALLY STUPID I DID THE EXACT SAME THING YOU DID AND MY ACCOUNT DIDN'T GET LOCKED SO UH RATIO"

hey @BlizzardCS - I didn’t see it on your known issue list, but are there problems with founders packs? All I got when I logged in was a notice that my old Overwatch 1 loot boxes auto-opened and that was it

@LunisNightwind I agree, mainly because if amazon's mmo chungs and has connection issues then obviously a game as "exciting" as overwatch chugs on release it makes sense

Okay I won’t lie I was excited for overwatch 2 but I refuse to play a game where it’ll try to force me to use a phone number to play a free to play game and they should fix their site because I’ve been wait to get my email verification for a while and nothing came through
