  • sudsofsplash 🦇🌙✨suds✨🌙🦇 (@sudsofsplash) reported

    @snopokeyt @OverwatchNaeri fun fact, you don’t have to use Overwatch’s VC; just play in groups and use like discord or teamspeak and the issue is no longer an issue.

  • SixSaysStuff Six (@SixSaysStuff) reported

    I understand that DDoS attacks can hamper things, but how can you shut down an old game and stay "blacked out" for a day just to still bungle the launch of your game 3 years in the making? Just unprepared all around with Overwatch 2

  • darknesshidden2 darknesshidden (@darknesshidden2) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Imagine spending hundreds of millions of dollars on advertisement just do not have your game work I used to think this was a mathematical problem but now we can add overwatch to the list Just like blizzard though to disappoint their fans.

  • MegaManCap Unbearable Thirst (@MegaManCap) reported

    Holy hell Orisa is the most broken character in Overwatch history.

  • xRedFlare ♡RedFlare♡ (@xRedFlare) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Will you fix the Issue for ps4 players that we get our stuff from oberwatch 1 to overwatch 2?

  • azurenicolas96 nico (@azurenicolas96) reported

    First world problems. Wanting to grind apex ranked, starting valorant ranked, wanting to try overwatch but not having enough time

  • Huntla9 Hunter (@Huntla9) reported

    Was able to get into Overwatch 2 the other night with no problem and only played 3 games. If only I knew what I had at the time, I would've savored every moment.

  • GarzillaGames Christopher Garza (@GarzillaGames) reported

    Hey, @Blizzard_Ent, I know things are rough with the launch of #Overwatch2 , but can we at least play Overwatch 1 if we own it until you get these errors figured out? 🥺

  • xNakerx Nick Baker (@xNakerx) reported

    @PlayOverwatch When you fix the LC-208 for people who have merged accounts let me know. It seems all my friends who never played Overwatch before OW2 came out are having no issues getting logged in even after being kicked, yet I’ve tried for 12 hours with no luck as an original player…

  • NestaJaxxon ᴛʜᴇ Nesta Jaxxon (@NestaJaxxon) reported

    I'm guessing this is because the ongoing issues with the launch but I bought 1000 Overwatch 2 currency on PSN to buy the Battle Pass and I didn't get the currency at all, lol.

  • Speedy_Pineappl Spooky Pineapple (@Speedy_Pineappl) reported

    @lvlrebel It's still just Overwatch. All of these server issues and SMS problems and it's almost the same exact game it was a week ago but with smaller teams and a store page

  • Nuttynottles Chris (@Nuttynottles) reported

    Overwatch servers are *************** now. Can't even login! 🤦

  • Dusoeeee Dusoe Gaming (@Dusoeeee) reported

    @Kephrii @_miguelreis_ I've literally never played a game with kbm switched from console to pc and decided to do overwatch with kbm and its the easiest experience in my gaming career, after controller for 15 years I'd reccomend switching to kbm if ur having trouble. Made masters off rip brand new

  • n1ck75numa Nick Karr (@n1ck75numa) reported

    @BlizzardCS I can’t log into my Overwatch 2 account on PS5 but I can login on my friends account no problem. So I’m not having an issue with my system or internet it’s an issue with my account. Is there any fix for this?

  • sufjanjr tomfoolery (@sufjanjr) reported

    lol half the heroes i unlocked yesterday in overwatch 2 are gone today? such a bizarre amount of problems

  • ElHermanopls Mano (@ElHermanopls) reported

    My biggest problem with Overwatch 2 is that it's still Overwatch

  • Ianmaloney_14 Ian Maloney (@Ianmaloney_14) reported

    @BowTiedCyber @ring I still can’t play Overwatch 2 because it got DDos’d on the first day of launch 🥲

  • Ismael_jft Ismaël (@Ismael_jft) reported

    I swear @PlayOverwatch im playing overwatch every day since 2018 and i cant play bc server are lagging but pc can play so don’t apologize give us some coins or legendary skin bc waited for 2/3 days its not normal.

  • 3mustard33 나모챙 안녕 (@3mustard33) reported

    Server issues aside y'all should be embarrassed with overwatch two. The skins, maps, battle pass rewards are all poorly designed + no new features. It's an unasked for patch with some new characters we should have gotten years ago. @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch

  • ChestnutPone Rene 🌰 (@ChestnutPone) reported

    Overwatch 2 received DDOS attacks during Hispanic heritage month? Definitely a hate crime

  • SnomoSam SΔϺ 🥀 (@SnomoSam) reported

    I've got 2 days off now to enjoy Overwatch 2. I'm just PRAYING that I'm able to actually login and play consistently, especially after they actually released some fixes (?)

  • GRANDDADWHATTHE #RobotJones4MultiVersus (@GRANDDADWHATTHE) reported

    amazing that Blizzard’s weirdly highly restrictive views on what counts as a prepaid phone plan or not and that they wanted consumers having issues registering Overwatch 2 to their phones to either get a new plan or ask the phone companies to change how they work didn’t work out!

  • MochaAura385 MochaAura385 (@MochaAura385) reported

    Man I sure do love being stuck in a queue trying to play Overwatch 2 because some fatherless, no life, no *******, unloved, noparent decided to dDOS the servers along with login issues

  • hockeyspaz62 H🎮CKEYSPAZ62🇺🇸 (@hockeyspaz62) reported

    @ATVI_AB day 3 of #Overwatch2 and the #battlepass that I bought is still missing from my game. That’s theft, so when will this issue be fixed? #Overwatch

  • JohnRedhoodWick Darien Waltz (@JohnRedhoodWick) reported

    Day 3 of overwatch 2 being a mess and still not have my skins I PAID FOR in overwatch 1 when will this be fix @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch

  • notsolocast Billy weber (@notsolocast) reported

    @TheActMan_YT Other than loading issues it’s honestly still fun to play Overwatch but this is a poor excuse for a launch

  • DaParrotMasta drunkenwalrus (@DaParrotMasta) reported

    @AltHistoryHub @CRISPY_WRITES What I don’t understand is that overwatch 2 is just one big glorified update. A generational one. So wtf do they have so many problems running a game that’s been out since 2016

  • timmy77779 Timothy Mark! 🎃 (@timmy77779) reported

    @pepeelpapito @FACEITTF2 @ShorKtf2 yeah and i wouldnt be surprised the same people who DDOS'ed overwatch could be the same people who did the bot hosting

  • E3_999 Reload (@E3_999) reported

    @OverwatchEU i log onto overwatch 2 to see that im bein treated as a new player and i have lost all my items progress badges and everything what is the problem here

  • FuzziThaBear Fuzzi Tha Bear (@FuzziThaBear) reported

    @Rad_Dad_Redempt Asterigos is my next purchased play. I been trying to play Overwatch but with it being broken I’m not sure I’ll keep playing it for now
