I had zero interest in playing Overwatch 2, except the recent problems are so bad that I have to check it out to see how bad it really is. So, marketting team? Task failed successfully I guess.

May have to delay the stream for a day or two! Sorry guys, having some slight technical issues. Going to get this sorted and finish sorting out my WoW addons and UI! Will aim to stream tomorrow after work if possible but definitely looking to stream Overwatch 2 when that releases

And to those crying about needing a phone to play the game, cry about it. There is a bunch of F2P games that require this and Overwatch has a smurfing issue hopefully this will help. I'm sure they might find a way around it but hopefully not "its just a overwatch patch"

@SYACVG Most people that are going to play Overwatch 2 are going to be Overwatch 1 players, if new players have a problem with playing 50-100 matches then they don't care enough to not stop playing shortly after the release.

@dummyhe69274306 @arcticpeache More like transparency so that the public and Judicial overwatch can view for accuracy of being error free in how the litigation process was upheld. Thus, making it that much more difficult for an appeal.

@powderedsoup @BarrelAus @PatStaresAt 1. It's not the same; Overwatch is designed around swapping characters. It's actually detrimental to CORE GAMEPLAY to lock characters here. 2. "It's the same as other games" because we're gradually receding to create problems and sell solutions. And you're defending that.

@IcedNyior @ithayla Overwatch 2 comes out on the 4th(?) But before it does there's server down time for like, a day and a bit?

@PlayOverwatch It's scuffed but Overwatch kind of raised me. For better or worse. Overwatch came out around a time we were having family issues. I was still a teen. I got to escape, mess around, made some weird relationships, had silly little drama etc. But I'll miss it.

I won’t be able to say my proper goodbyes to overwatch 1 since my ps plus ran out a while ago, rip. I’m mad they’re going to shut it down just like that, I wish if they just took the servers down and kept the game accessible offline. It should’ve been preserved

I’m not particularly beat up about Overwatch, but this “games as a service” **** is really bad for the preservation of games. Countless man hours by overworked devs and artists can just go *poof*. A product you paid for can just go *poof*

@SYACVG I don’t see any issue. You payed full price for overwatch and got the full experience. If you want the same with Overwatch 2, buy the Watchpoint pack. I don’t complain about grinding on Apex to unlock coins for purchasing characters. Am I missing the point here?

@galuade_ I don't even play overwatch, but there's one thing I've learned about Blizzard players and it's this: no matter how bad the problem is, you would be SHOCKED at the amount of people who will shrug and pay up anyway

@May50643588 @PlayOverwatch Alot of people are unable to play cos they havent fixed the mobile issues. I quit overwatch before it began because i dont have a contract phone. The 2fa has been like this for a while with other blizzard games, from my research it looks like they wont fix it

(@luvsentt) reported
my first issue is the concept of free-to-play. for OW1 players, we all had to pay from $20-$60 for the game. now it’s free? this wouldn’t be as much of an issue if 1. overwatch wasn’t getting shut down, & 2. the rest im getting into. (2/6)

I’m not particularly beat up about Overwatch in particular, it’s just that this “games as a service” bullshit is really bad for the preservation of games and all the hard work the devs and artists put into them

@PlayOverwatch watch them not release overwatch 2 and then cut off the service to overwatch 1 so there IS no overwatch. lol

Are there any Overwatch 2 design changes that do not focus on promoting increased monetisation? I've got no problem with F2P games making money, but I can't think of a single example where designing around MTX and not around gameplay has resulted in a good experience.

@SYACVG I don't see the problem. From someone who plays TF2 and has heard people saying something like "imagine if you couldn't play engie until you finish 60 games", which on one point it's wrong, Overwatch heroes only have one set of whatever, TF2 has 150+ weapons and variations -

@sneakymari @sikhwarriorlive @RishiAlwani I tried overwatch 1 a year back my main issue was laggy lobbies and matchmaking taking too long. I dont care about battlepasses these days its just xp grind not a content drop for me. Is this game worse now? I was thinking of having a fresh start in sequel.

Look Overwatch is a fun game but there is a much more simple solution to all of the problems they are trying to resolve: just hire more diverse devs and listen to what they have to say

(@DDayMovies) reported
@MorrisseyFr @That_mist_ake @SYACVG A big part of Overwatch’s gameplay is counter-picking and switching heroes, sometimes mid match. If you haven’t unlocked the counter to an enemy hero wrecking your team, the game is broken. They’ve sabotaged their game to extract more money from players.

@AaryB2 @pcgamer Lmao, they fixed the issue. Overwatch 1 got so bad that they needed a sequel and made it free. The TF2 community is strong lmao.

@pcgamer Blizzard shuts off a perfectly functional game so they can force you in GaMES aS a SeRviCE nightmare with as many predatory micro-transactions as humanly possible. Let Overwatch Die, teach Blizz a lesson.

Overwatch was truly fun in its chaotic chapter, when the game was everything on the table. Once a meta was forced on it, all the incessant pandering and sterilization, now the insane privacy issues, it’s not the same game I bought years ago.

@BikiniBodhi Lmfao so true, although I am possibly going to drop Siege after the next season if they don't fix it and just go to OverWatch 2
