    @PlayOverwatch Overwatch 2 is just one big issue 🙄

  • GetDatGreg GetDatGreg (@GetDatGreg) reported

    I'm not even stressed because I don't find Overwatch to be particularly fun or engaging but it's the current free "thing" to play with my old lady when we're both not working and bored.

    @GeistRK @lia3829376 @BlizzardCS I have a fix then. Go to the overwatch store click on the watchpoint pack and click buy. It will take you to the pack on the Xbox store it will say you own it. Wait about 20 seconds then go back to the game you should start to see it unlock

  • Juuniversum Juu_Honey | Plant-Mom (@Juuniversum) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Just bring back Overwatch 1 and make Overwatch 2 a standalone Game. That would actually fix it....

    @BlizzardCS still don’t have access to any of my overwatch 1 skins or anything? is this a common problem ? How do I gain access to them?

  • AceyTheKitty ✨ Ace~! ✨ (@AceyTheKitty) reported

    @MomohuaToma They just announced that Overwatch 2 will be down for about 1 hour at 3pm PT and about 3 hours at 6pm PT! They're putting out mass updates to try and fix the server issues. Depending on when you start stream, that might be an issue for you.

  • RedMogGaming Moogle (@RedMogGaming) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Why open the servers to shut them back down? Just fix the game till its ready because this has felt like another one of Overwatches empty promises that will continue to be a problem.

  • GhostDavid020 GhostDavid (@GhostDavid020) reported

    Overwatch 2 is low key fun but the server issues ruined it for me.

  • Sanjeevxx S.G🔝🔚 (@Sanjeevxx) reported

    Overwatch 2 is starting to trigger me with these server issues.

  • captaintaycos Captain Tay ‎⍟ (@captaintaycos) reported

    Here I go playing Paper Mario again while they fix Overwatch

  • jaytonbobber Jaytonbobber (@jaytonbobber) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent overwatch 2 is broken as ****

  • grimmsnarly i'm auro (@grimmsnarly) reported

    Overwatch 1 was doing way too good to even remotely need a 'sequel'. It was at its PEAK. maybe slowing down a bit, but it was still popular. It had problems sure, but none so big that it would be more expensive to fix them then to just MAKE A NEW GAME ENTIRELY.

  • Tiernan_20 Tiernan (@Tiernan_20) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent 1 hour to get into overwatch 2 everytime and when I try merge accounts it doesn’t even let me click on it, please fix

  • EanTheHusky Ean The Husky (@EanTheHusky) reported

    If this maintenance doesn't fix the que times, I am done trying with Overwatch 2

  • JadTheRadLad Jad (@JadTheRadLad) reported

    @LucyferPancakes How you shouldnt buy splatoon 3 because of Nintendo's case. Yet every big post about OW2 is about the case, and any post about the game itself gets flooded talking about the case. No other blizzard game has this issue either. Just Overwatch.

  • heyzainer Zain Khan (@heyzainer) reported

    I’ve really been enjoying Overwatch 2. I really hope this server maintenance downtime resolves all of the DDOS issues!

  • fuckjsmiith jake (@fuckjsmiith) reported

    overwatch 2 server down i can feel the brain rot going away

  • ZincGamerMan Zinc (@ZincGamerMan) reported

    overwatch 2 is fun as ****, its giving me nostalgia of when i originally bought overwatch 1 in 2016, The 1000s of hours i put in this game. Only problem so far is that all of my matches have been way too easy, understandable since all these players are new to the game

  • K1ller_B33 Alexicon (@K1ller_B33) reported

    @AlxwellD @nsbbnn It's almost like people can be bad at the broken character. I've seen bad Bayonettas in smash 4, bad symmetras in overwatch, bad snipers in tf2, the list goes on. There are players who simply aren't meant to play nurse.

  • RazerCrust RazerCrust (@RazerCrust) reported

    @harvv @PlayOverwatch Bro all your posts are about how you can’t get into Overwatch 2, you know you can try a different game until they fix it

  • DeadlyGamesVT DeadlyGamesVT (@DeadlyGamesVT) reported

    Well good news! Overwatch is updating and also is shut down for maintenance for an hour! So should fix some stuff!

  • iJoebo Joebo (@iJoebo) reported

    not really surprised people are having trouble with overwatch 2 servers, I was once put into a 17 hour queue back when fortnite was still new years ago

  • MrKIsGud Mr.K (@MrKIsGud) reported
