  • 6STONES_ART 6STONES (COMMS OPEN) (@6STONES_ART) reported

    As much as I’m loving playing Overwatch 2 they need to fix these store prices and the amount we can earn. The Halloween event despite having a great pve mode is ruined by overpriced cosmetics and a lack of anything worth earning. Blizzard needs to fix this soon.

  • vousleu_ 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐭. (@vousleu_) reported

    @BlizzardCS i haven't been able to log into overwatch since 2:38pm and I haven't sent in a ticket that still hasn't been answered. Am I the only one still experiencing the LC-208 error because you all haven't even addressed the issue.

  • PenguThePing Pengu (@PenguThePing) reported

  • neftaffy nefti 🇵🇷 (@neftaffy) reported

    no cause i just reinstalled overwatch 2 and IM STILL GETTING LOGIN ERRORS !!!!! @PlayOverwatch

  • myseglis Myseglis (@myseglis) reported

    Overwatch 2 is very disappointing on many aspects: the shop pricing, the balance patches, the bug fixes, the time it took them to bring back Bastion and Torb, addressing all the bugs and issues that aren't servers related. and more.

  • BuzzDHTester Buzz (@BuzzDHTester) reported

    @MrTLexify I never had no problem with overwatch’s loot box system. It was cosmetic, they were easy to earn, and it was generally a good time when you saw the “You’ve received a loot box!” Pop up appear. But of course, here comes the free-to-play model to ruin it all.

  • ShadowRush2112 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈Thomas🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@ShadowRush2112) reported

    @MrRiingo "Its no different than Fortnite, Valorant." You're right. Which is why those games have the exact same problems as Overwatch 2. You don't HAVE to but they will always be there tempting you. Not to mention you'll probably be put in lobbies with players using skins you don't have

  • Phish60274954 Phish (@Phish60274954) reported

    @jeremysaurs @PlayOverwatch This works for a lot of people so try it the Fix for Overwatch 2 LC-208 error code. Log into your account on PC, enter the firing range, exit to desktop. When you try to log back in on console the LC-208 error should be gone and you'll be able to log in.

  • GaySex2G 😼 (@GaySex2G) reported

    Please someone help me fix this stupid server error glitch man I’m gonna end my life if I don’t play Overwatch soon. I’m addicted. It’s a problem but I don’t care. I’ve contacted blizzard nothing, scrolled through 50 videos. Nothing. There is no hope

  • HSeregios Hyper (@HSeregios) reported

    Overwatch 2 keeps giving me an error screen whenever I try to play it

  • chef_jairo Jairo Perez (@chef_jairo) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @timthetatman My friends on ps5 can play but I can’t even login wtf Overwatch!!!!?

  • vtuberblamee BLAME 📈VtuberSupporter📈 (@vtuberblamee) reported

    Why does Vtube Studio lag when i play apex legends? Whenever i play other games like overwatch, Vtube studio doesnt lag at all.. Even my browser lags, but apex plays perfectly fine. I'm confused. 😵‍💫

  • danismith02x dani 🪐 (@danismith02x) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hi, everytime I log onto overwatch I get error message LC208 but I can log into my boyfriends account on my xbox so it’s not my wifi. Please help?

  • FlubbyThePone ✝️Flubby🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 (@FlubbyThePone) reported

    A small list of things I would do to fix Overwatch's monetary system: -remove the 20% xp bonus for BP buyers, increase xp gain by 10% across the board -put premium currency in the bp (at least 500-1000) -make legacy credits (LC) a free obtainable secondary currency

  • StelloraArt Stellora (@StelloraArt) reported

    @XboxSupport Overwatch servers are consistently giving LC-208 errors while trying to login after the Oct 25th update. Please lend a hand to @BlizzardCS 🙏

  • ainomeaD Daemonia (@ainomeaD) reported

    Oh boy, know what I Never in the history of Overwatch have had a problem with on 2CP maps? Having it too easy on Attack. It sounds advantageous but then there's this dumb thing people love doing; spawn camping is a thing and it's the worst part of being on attack

  • MadisonCityy Leon (@MadisonCityy) reported

    I don’t even mind overwatch 2 being a reskin. I’m actually enjoying the game considering I didn’t play it too often after the first 10 seasons. My biggest issues is the lack of older skins being available. The lack of challenges and the lack of loot boxes or Crates.

  • cyber17687 🎃 (@cyber17687) reported

    @vousleu_ @BlizzardCS Just wait it out, I’m experiencing the same thing. Either wait till it fixes itself, see if tech support would fix your issue (didn’t for me but everyone is different) or wait and see if blizzard/ overwatch will do maintenance on the game.

  • AustinTheMommy Mommy Quarry ☠️ (@AustinTheMommy) reported

    So apparently I can’t log into Overwatch unless I have a PC to fix the issue. Stupid.

  • The0Bagwell The0 (@The0Bagwell) reported

    @siteofgrace I’m literally the person you’re describing LMFAO Riot just went through similar scandals and I don’t even hear people talk about it. I feel like most people playing Overwatch mention the issues when describing Blizzard. Very self aware.

  • mad2big No (@mad2big) reported

    Picked up overwatch 2, ive been enjoying it for the most part but im Pretty sure I ran into my 1st #hacker in overwatch2, ungodly aim... type of aim snapping i only see cod cheaters do.... Has overwatch2 been hacked? Is this a problem in the game now?

  • lnfluentiaI Jonah (@lnfluentiaI) reported

    @5ekaa @ioniiums Well one thing for sure is that games / hardware can detect third party software being used one way or another and with the size of the issue on console overwatch and the recent release of ow2 it’s possible they do look into it. One can hope x

  • MikeythePoet mikey (@MikeythePoet) reported

    @Xeratricky Are they not going to fix ranked? To overwatch I go lol

  • SubcloningYT subcloning (@SubcloningYT) reported

    Overwatch 2 is such a sad pathetic excuse for a sequel. Monetization is egregious. $25 for skins that look identical The balancing is terrible and virtually no reward system anymore (cards + on fire + cosmetic + ranked) Plagued by performance issues and one of the worst MM

  • fjpowelljr35 Frankie Jumpshots (@fjpowelljr35) reported

    @BlizzardCS Overwatch 2 is giving me stat tracking is broken and u ain’t fixed it yet errors.

  • O2LftBLINK angel ! (@O2LftBLINK) reported

    someone please explain to me the point of trying for a draw in overwatch? a draw is worth the same as a loss now so why not just spare yourself the trouble and accept the loss to get into a new game?

  • Obscurica J⚙️MES (@Obscurica) reported

    @TeanaVivi @TBSkyen Nah, UMISHO famously played GG for only one year before taking the EVO title She was an Overwatch main prior to that and ALSO famously said OW sucks when interviewed at EVO LOL It’s like four parts her being a goddamn genius and one part Happy Chaos is broken.

  • Brennan60950915 Brennan (@Brennan60950915) reported

    @BlizzardCS I cant load on to overwatch, every time I try I'm greeted with a red box that says login error disconnected from game server
