  • dexyon04 Jon (@dexyon04) reported

    3 and a half hours in queue trying to play some overwatch 2 on launch day. This login simulator has been pretty entertaining.

  • SensitiveSky5 SensitiveSky5 (@SensitiveSky5) reported

    None of my overwatch one characters nor cosmetics transfered to overwatch 2 even though I'm on the same exact battle net account. Does anyone know how to fix it #Overwatch2

  • Fernand39741014 ❎ FDaylight 🇧🇷 (FLegion) (@Fernand39741014) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I just heard that overwatch 2 servers are being DDoS attacked, @blizzard is working to resolve the issue!

  • rebecadavid Muffin 🌈 || (The) World is Mine every SATURDAY!!! (@rebecadavid) reported

    congratulations to blizzard entertainment for ******* up the release of overwatch 2 so badly they had to blame it on a DDoS attack because players are permanently stuck behind a 40k person queue

  • MealorOscar Oscar Mealor (@MealorOscar) reported

    @BroYouWack Let get overwatch to fix it

  • awwhalenawl Broke Bwah (@awwhalenawl) reported

    Overwatch getting Ddos kinda funny

  • Tiny_Valentine ❤~Dekomori~❤ (@Tiny_Valentine) reported

    I downloaded Overwatch 2 but now it has connection issues, so I don't think I'll be able to play tuday

  • QueenBrute Bowsette (@QueenBrute) reported

    Played overwatch 2 for about an hour after waiting an hour to get in just to get kicked out cuz of a ddos attack apparently? I only fought against Orisa which pretty much completely counters my main Roadhog. Lots of fun getting *** blasted by 20 Orisas.

  • JeffTheCreator9 Jeff The Creator (@JeffTheCreator9) reported

    Lol I knew overwatch 2 would have issues with so many new and returning players. Glad I decided to wait to stream later this week :)

  • zaraki_kenpatch (platinum) Jotaro (@zaraki_kenpatch) reported

    @BlizzardCS I bought the watch point pack and it said that I will get the season pass plus 2000 overwatch points and I got none of that what's the Problem sir?

  • ShrimpyN Shrimpy_Noodles (@ShrimpyN) reported

    Went to play #Overwatch2 , have prepaid phone service. Can't play overwatch 2. That's nice. I guess..

  • INFINIT3AMMO INFINIT3AMMO (@INFINIT3AMMO) reported

    why did ,**** heads have to go out of their way, to DDos overwatch 2.

  • friedjuul no (@friedjuul) reported

    At this point servers aren’t even a large issue, the fact that console players STILL don’t have an actual account to play on is ridiculous. Overwatch 2 everyone!!

  • VidGamrJ VidGamrJ (@VidGamrJ) reported

    @BlizzardCS My son can’t play Overwatch 2 because his phone is prepaid? What is this crap? He’s played the first game for years no problem, and now he can’t even play that because you deleted it and forced him on Overwatch 2. This is unacceptable. I want answers and solutions.

  • stevey_mac Stevey (@stevey_mac) reported

    So, I finally get logged into Overwatch 2 only to find that all my cosmetics, all my golden guns, EVERYTHING I had on the original game is gone.... This had better be a glitch that's being worked on. If I've lost all my stuff I'm done with this game and Blizzard in general.

  • SKYNYRD_DSG SKYNYRD (@SKYNYRD_DSG) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I finally get into a game after being booted and waiting in a queue for 2 hours and I get booted from my second game and cant get back in. How does a update cause so many problems. Its literally the same game as overwatch 1 with 5 players instead of 6...........

  • jasonbroccoli Jason Brock (@jasonbroccoli) reported from Suginami-ku, Tokyo Prefecture

    Ok - seeing it mentioned a couple of times that people going from Overwatch 1 to Overwatch 2 are the ones getting the login errors and “0 players ahead of you” in queue screens - can anyone confirm? #Overwatch2 #オーバーウォッチ2 @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS_JP @BlizzardCS

  • DirtyMoka R18 Rapturous ****** R18 (@DirtyMoka) reported

  • spara10twitch spara10 (@spara10twitch) reported

    @PlayStation Can you explain why your trying to charge me twice for the same item? I have already purchased the Overwatch watchpoint pack, and now your making me pay for it again, and the fact is that it hasn’t work. Not only that, but I have lost all my items from the last nine years. Fix it
