    @Qwik Can we get an update on how all the issues with Overwatch are going, im currently waiting on my watchpoint pack credits, battle pass and 2 skins to come through

  • Healz18913976 ItsHealz (@Healz18913976) reported

    @Qwik That's cool But how are the servers for overwatch 2. Would appreciate updates since some people are still having issues. I can get in multiple times and seem to get kicked less but waiting long periods tends to be annoying.

  • zzombiebie tine (@zzombiebie) reported

    Me and John are having different but equally annoying issues with Overwatch on Playstation. He couldn’t log on at all yesterday but logged on before work this morning. His account merged right away but his watchpoint pack wasn’t there. I could log on yesterday BUT…

  • Superfly1179 SuperFly Ryno 🇺🇸 (@Superfly1179) reported

    @Activision @ATVI_AB @ATVIAssist Big Brain move preventing people that use Cricket cell service from being able to play Overwatch 2 and the new COD. I even have a Battlenet authenticator. You need to rectify this because of your idiotic change you are now losing sales.

  • Cameleer_ Cameleer (@Cameleer_) reported

    After playing Overwatch 2 for a few hours now, i can honestly say that the game feels exactly like Overwatch 1 with the exact same issues we have been complaining about for years, its also pretty disappointing that you could earn all skins for free, but now it will take 1/2

  • BlGCOOP BlGCOOP (@BlGCOOP) reported

    It’s saying I have to buy overwatch to play? How do I fix this

  • Kirino_kirakira 一行瑠璃 (@Kirino_kirakira) reported

    Can people stop mass DDoS'ing overwatch servers so I can play junkrat and actually use the watchpoint packs that I paid for. I really just wanna play the game

  • HoweverJulius Julius However (@HoweverJulius) reported

    Im so glad Overwatch released ranked on the first day with Servers which doesnt disconnect every 5 minutes :)

  • Listening_James James the listening one (@Listening_James) reported

    Everyone ******* on overwatch 2 like literally every game ever made doesn’t have A: a server queue, and B: Server issues from player density on launch I haven’t tried to log in because I know I would barely get in the first day but if you are hyped for the game that’s part of it

  • CWill21x Cam (@CWill21x) reported

    @BlizzardCS I wasn’t aware that I had an option to merge accounts in Overwatch 1 to carry stuff over. I’m staying on the same linked battlenet account and Xbox family, and none of my cosmetics transferred over. Are they lost forever or is a fix being worked on?

  • zombiesburied Ethan Miller (@zombiesburied) reported

    @BlizzardCS I know there is currently an issue with certain cosmetics, but I currently have none of my progress from overwatch 1 transferred over, not even my level or career card

  • ParaRP_ ParaRP (@ParaRP_) reported

    @PlayOverwatch how is it possible to go from having zero issues with logging in on Overwatch on Sunday to "Sorry, we were unable to log you in" on Tuesday/Wednesday. I get it's a new game but come on now, it's getting ridiculous 😒

  • HeyItsKamo Kameaux Chachere's (@HeyItsKamo) reported

    FWIW I’ve had zero problems with Overwatch 2 so far. First game was a Big Dub with Lúcio too 😎 #ow2 #Overwatch2

  • cupcakesrawesom 🧁Cupcakesrawesome🧁 (@cupcakesrawesom) reported

  • DistressedGrey Grey 🖤 (@DistressedGrey) reported

    So I’m an overwatch 1 player and for the past day we’ve had all our characters unlocked obviously as an OW1 player. The game glitched out and now all our progress has been set as if we’re new players. Has anyone else dealt with this?? Fix the damn game blizzard 😒#Overwatch2

  • WifeMercy kat🥀 (@WifeMercy) reported
