    @SpiralFPS Well I heard it’s free if you owned overwatch 1? Idk how true that is but I got all the time in the world for them to fix the server issues going on

  • chaseruyle hell dude (@chaseruyle) reported

    i checked to see if people could "buy levels" on overwatch 2 and you sure can do that without any issues when you're logged in. so the matches play like ****, the login servers are absolutely overloaded, but I can still buy skins and give blizz $$? ddos attack my ******* ***.

  • connordanreese Connor (@connordanreese) reported

    @G27Status I actually managed to get in and play some matches last night for a couple hours. It reminded me why I liked Overwatch in the first place back in 2016. That being said I am terrible at it right now. I hope they can sort out the server issues.

  • TheOnlyNolan1 NolanaloN (@TheOnlyNolan1) reported

    Not overwatch 2 making my Xbox controller disconnect and forcing me to hard reset my console to make it work again.

  • SEUS_2311 Starborn Traveler (Tony) (@SEUS_2311) reported

    @Qwik Alright that's cool but what about the overwatch 2 servers, the game launch was an absolute disaster and it's been almost a day since the problem was noticed, also if you actually get the chance to get into the game it's full of bugs.

  • JackMeowison 🦇 Everyone Has Ghosts. 🎃 (@JackMeowison) reported

    Gonna keep my gripes about Overwatch 2 to a minimum while they fix their broken *** servers, but the fact people with prepaid phone plans can't get in is just a littttleee classist.

  • ChrisJans5 Chris Jans (@ChrisJans5) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN My controllers are glitching out when i play overwatch 2 now, the controllers are fine in other games. (Xbox and Playstation) Has anyone else got this problem?

  • dexyon04 Jon (@dexyon04) reported

    Internet went down for a brief moment, but we are back pin overwatch 2, the login simulator. Come by and hang out as I still have at least another hour and 30 minutes of the 24 hour stream.

  • 011v144 oli (@011v144) reported

  • infinjtee hannah (@infinjtee) reported

    why are the overwatch servers down again BOOOOOO

  • Volviee1 Volviee (@Volviee1) reported

    Overwatch 2 launch is terrible, They added some SMS security, Eliminating 90% of players who want to play to deal with like 10% of players who smurf, The servers getting DDoS after being in development for over 2 years and we have to pay in order to work around the SMS, Terrible.

  • gigabit98700485 gigabit- (@gigabit98700485) reported

    @Lala_Devi_chan I experience a lot of lags and instabilities too. Tbf, old Overwatch 1, even with much worse graphics, was really better, it had its unique style (and it wasn't lagging).

  • SueKingCoxPDX Sue King Cox PNW (@SueKingCoxPDX) reported

    Ok so from what I'm seeing and connecting dots for for console overwatch, the error code bc-153 means the servers are down for maintenance and seeing as PC friends are still on... I'm hoping this means they're fixing the bug that leads to cross progression and account progress🙏

  • MAJDrett heel doink (@MAJDrett) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN Can I have a refund for my Watchpoint pack on Overwatch 2 please. Server issues completely killing the game.
