    Aye @Blizzard_Ent it’s crazy how I preordered the watch point pack for overwatch 2 and yet the game has been out for over 3 days now and I still haven’t gotten to play. Either fix your overwatch servers or give me my money back.

  • Annabanna9111 Anna (@Annabanna9111) reported

    Overwatch 2 has honestly had the crappiest launch. Servers still not working or you wait half your life trying to get into the game. Good job guys. #Overwatch2

  • enbykelly (@enbykelly) reported

  • JeniSwift Jennifer Swift (@JeniSwift) reported

    Finally got through the queue of 800 people to play Overwatch 2. Went to play a match and a server error kicked me out. I'm back on the original queue. There are 1000 players ahead of me. I quit.

  • PFflat Panda Fflat (@PFflat) reported

    Day 3 and im still waiting for #overwatch to let me MERGE MY ******* ACCOUNTS. @PlayOverwatch please im begging for you to fix this bug.

  • Soly_Lisse Soly (@Soly_Lisse) reported

    @IGN Once they fix ther servers people will finally be able to play Overwatch 1

  • azoore_ azoore (@azoore_) reported

    I’ve seen SO many people complain about overwatch 2 and the battle pass system and it kinda irritates me because this is now a problem? Siege does the same thing AND the game isn’t even free, there are almost more locked characters than free ones in siege, and the grind sucks 1/?

  • Kiki8998Kiki 🍓🥀 Nouk 🍁 💌 (@Kiki8998Kiki) reported

    @overwatchleague @aaronkellerOW can we be focusing on fixing the LC-208 with console. console is stuck in the merging process and players can't play ow2. this issue is pretty bad as it will drive players away from overwatch

  • Bvincent559 Brandon Vincent® (@Bvincent559) reported

    Overwatch is cool but they need to fix some ****

  • Maateziom Until Dawn x Dead by Daylight pls (@Maateziom) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Fix the ******* game i cant play with my friend cus it says they are on a different version of overwatch when we both got ov 2 on europe 🤮🤮🤡🤡

  • salithtaydan Salith the ANTIFA Samurai Skunk (🦨) ACAB! 🏳️‍🌈 (@salithtaydan) reported

    Still hard to get into Overwatch, and then it's hard to find a game. That's not a DDOS attack, #Blizzard, that's a crap amount of servers.

  • nyieon 🤘nyi || stay safe everyone 💕 (@nyieon) reported

    Why does it feel like I've been blacklistes from Overwatch 2 😮‍💨 My friends get in but I just get "Unexpected server error" when it tries entering game and then straight to the back of the queue again...

  • IMac404 IronMac404 (@IMac404) reported

    Change of plan tonight unfortunately, due to my capture card not working, we won't be streaming any switch games at least for tonight. So I'm bringing forward the Bloodborne stream to tonight at 7pm and we will be playing Overwatch 2 tomorrow evening!

  • beattrademark Soft Drink Enjoyer (@beattrademark) reported

    i just love not being able to play overwatch at all because of connection errors

  • kuunichiwa kuu (@kuunichiwa) reported

  • _ludem ludem (@_ludem) reported

    to anyone struggling with queues and logging into Overwatch still, you can bypass it by queueing europe servers, which will fix servers and account merge problems

  • G1n9erChr1s Geordie Spartan (@G1n9erChr1s) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN I know there's work been/being done to improve reliability for login. But I've been trying for 3 days now to get on overwatch 2 and never got past the log in screen on xbox. Is there anything I can do?

  • BrodohubTTV Brodohub (@BrodohubTTV) reported

    Sorry guys no stream today. Not feeling up to it I still got a lot to figure out and having issues ill be live tomorrow with some more ranked overwatch!

  • SimonRWaters Simon Waters (@SimonRWaters) reported

    @EtchedPixels Fortunately the 15GB download for Overwatch 2 could be started before going to school. Now to see if a million frustrated teenagers can defeat DDoS attackers :(

  • SlowSkyes 🍂 MoJoJuJu 🍄🎃 (@SlowSkyes) reported

    So overwatch 2 on console is very blurry ??? Plus no matter who I play when I look around there's times where it feels stuck like some kind of wall keeps me from looking around properly? Idk if it's a bug or something I can fix? #Overwatch #OW2

  • tawny27 ❁♡tawny (@tawny27) reported

    Day 3 and i still cannot get in to OW SO let me guess there’s a 3rd ddos attack? #Blizzard #overwatch #overwatch2

  • SivadGrimes Sivad Grimes (@SivadGrimes) reported

    So the Overwatch 2 login issue seems to also be account based. I gave my homie my login info and they got into the game within 30mins. Wasnt able to get in with their account since launch on pc or console with their own account

  • tom_chorley Thomas chorley (@tom_chorley) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN i merged my account and put my number on my battlenet account a few weeks ago and since launch of overwatch 2 ive not been able to access the game keep getting error code 208 and others or justt placed in a endless queue, ps5

  • spectre058 Spectre058 - NSFW Writer (@spectre058) reported

    "WHERE IS OUR OVERWATCH?!?" The comms bared, demanding your attention. But wrapped up in your Viper girlfriend's coils, her tits on your **** and her rifle forgotten, other demands had priority. This combat induced horniness was becoming a real problem on missions.

  • neamtua Andrei Neamtu (@neamtua) reported

    @battlenet Fix you shameful server issues already, spent an hour in queue to enter overwatch and with 70 people in front you reset me to 2000. Come on, it's embarassing already. Do you expect people to pay for this ****?

  • MrCWBigfoot CWBigfoot (@MrCWBigfoot) reported

    Why is the queue system in overwatch so SOGGY. Back to back times I have had to wait 1+ hour just to get into the game, and when I finally reach 0 people ahead of me, it just decides to throw me back into another queue behind 600 people with no errors or indication. COOL

  • AlFern24 Allen Fernandez (@AlFern24) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch A lot of users, like myself, have found that NONE of out stuff from Overwatch 1 carried over. What’s the fix for this? So much awesome content from years if playing lost for no apparent reason. Any help with this?

  • Rhylo97 Rhino Minecraft (@Rhylo97) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN helo im try play overwatch wif friend but big issue... it say player different version but is same game??? plis help
