    @OverwatchEU @BlizzardCSEU_EN Hey, could you fix the glitch where players without phones that can receive texts can't play your game, even if they played Overwatch 1? That'd be great. #OverwatchUnfair #LeashedHope #NotFreeToPlay

  • sethron Seth (@sethron) reported

    It's called Overwatch 2 because I'm over watching a screen just continually fail to login and my number in the queue just rising and rising.

  • HTiBasti Basti Thom (@HTiBasti) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN So I've had no problem playing overwatch 2 today but I logged back in a few mins ago and it told me I needed to merge my Xbox and playstation account. I did it and it told me to reset the game and now I'm getting errors.

    Overwatch 2: *wants to reduce toxicity* Also Overwatch 2: *launches with a broken endorsement system on console so I can't endorse who I want to endorse*

    Im trying to download Overwatch 2 and it keeps getting me An Error Occured #Overwatch2

  • DarraghX_X Catboy Era (@DarraghX_X) reported

    I think being critical of OverWatch 2 is good but also no one should feel guilty for playing it, the problems are (unfortunately) things affecting the whole industry of online games right now

  • BigDaddyRyannnn ライアン (@BigDaddyRyannnn) reported

    i really just sat and waited 20 minutes just to get into overwatch 2. blizzard fix your ****

  • Batty_Aly55a Alyssa (@Batty_Aly55a) reported

    I understand there being problems with the server but I have been trying to get onto Overwatch 2 for iver 2 hours and still no luck. But my friend came on and was able to get on the game in under 15 minutes. This is getting a little ridiculous

  • ninthmizukage ant (@ninthmizukage) reported

    I JUST WANNA PLAY OVERWATCH 2 ITS BEEN 24 HOURS FIX THE **** ALREADY @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCSEU_EN #Overwatch2

  • DanHomber Jinx The loud Boomer (@DanHomber) reported

    Made a valiant effort to get into overwatch 2....still stuck in que and now I'm hearing its because of one hulk of a DDOS attack.

  • marios_brother connor (@marios_brother) reported

    is anyone else having trouble getting overwatch 2 to launch? like bnet says it's playing but it's only running in the background

  • zp0taku ✖️ (@zp0taku) reported

    @BlizzardCS 24 hours after launch and I've not been able to get into the game once. I merged accounts on overwatch 1 PS4 as suggested when I logged in. Consistent LC-208 and BC-153 errors. Is there any update???

  • Aurora4MVS SolarDCursedSlime | Aurora for MVS (@Aurora4MVS) reported

    @Bender4Mvs @Starfire4MVS No because I played overwatch 1 on my ps4 and my ps4 broke and I didn't remember what my login details were

  • MetroidFREAK21 Corey Cooper (@MetroidFREAK21) reported

    @TheActMan_YT I'm no pro or even decent at Overwatch and I do agree putting the new heroes in the battle pass is a massive error, but the fact they are AT LEAST obtainable for free (with a massive grind mind you) is something I think

  • ReeTalkToEm Kobra Khi (@ReeTalkToEm) reported

    So after playing overwatch, I feel like the 5v5 and the changes in passives, abilities, and damage is outrageously unbalanced. You can literally steamroll teams with one character, mainly reaper or a good tank. They are gonna have to fix something

  • ladyddancing lady d’s lawyer (lucy) (@ladyddancing) reported

    okay, ddos is boring now, the memes aren’t funny anymore, just let us play overwatch 2

  • mk_aln9 mk_aln9 (@mk_aln9) reported

    @AbdulTheArabGuy @BeyondCrash Just why they want our phone numbers just to play Overwatch 2? This game is now officially available and the first thing they encounter was an issue. Huge pass

  • dommtron Tron (@dommtron) reported

    @BlizzardCS any update on these overwatch issues? It’s been over 24 hours since launch and the game is pretty much unplayable unless yo I get lucky

  • the_hat__ hat (@the_hat__) reported

    all my friends in overwatch 2 and im getting timeout errors every 20 seconds **** this

  • MetroidFREAK21 Corey Cooper (@MetroidFREAK21) reported

    @TheActMan_YT I'm no pro or even decent at Overwatch and I do agree putting g heroes in the battle pass is a massive error, but the fact they are AT LEAST obtainable for free is something

  • DreidelWhacking Yung Dreidel (@DreidelWhacking) reported

    Let's be real, there were no DDoS attacks on Overwatch 2 servers, Blizzard just doesn't want accountability

  • NikkiNeverShout Nikki Shouts For MGK (@NikkiNeverShout) reported

    So is overwatch just notttt going to fix their servers or??? Possibly warzone stream tonight. 7pm normal time but can’t be bothered with OW. Still.

  • Crewsupporter93 Jt Redmond (@Crewsupporter93) reported

    @FatGuyNLilCoat @BlizzardCS They're not gonna help, they can't even keep the login screen functioning. I was willing to understand they needed a bit of time yesterday after the DDOS. Now I'm mad and getting steamed especially when my overwatch 1 level and my whole 6 years of unlocks are just poof gone

  • FFEC_EN #AfterLife (@FFEC_EN) reported

    @Xbox And being able to login to the game and be able to play, let's hope Activision blizzard under the Microsoft hands won't be as nasty and chaotic when launching games like overwatch 2.

  • Z3xcrime Z3xcrime (@Z3xcrime) reported

    Is overwatch 2 fixed or is it still broken 24 hours later #Overwatch2

  • Adaaaaaammm94 Adam (@Adaaaaaammm94) reported

    Despite the very very annoying server issues and account merger being completely broken, Overwatch 2 is very fun. Changing it to 5v5 and having a one tank, two damage and two heal meta is very good. It has completely alleviated my issue with Overwatch 1, Shields. Surprised

  • blygbank ash ✿ (@blygbank) reported

    24 hours since overwatch 2 released and 24 hours of lag, server errors and blank account when i should have loads of stuff
