    Come on overwatch, I’ve been with you for 5 years now and I’ve never seen anything like this. I know you’re working hard but my issue is that I was kicked out of the queue because you wanted sms and now I have to queue again. UNBELIEVABLE #Overwatch2

  • Berryz___ Berryz (@Berryz___) reported

    @BlizzardCS @Madmen0101 Can you update us please? I’ve been waiting for Overwatch 2 FOR THREE YEARS, the LEAST you can do is update us about the server issues

  • KumiAvali Kumi, Legendary Stray (@KumiAvali) reported

    Man why does everyone have such a hateboner for Blizzard that they DDOS Overwatch 2 for literal hours on-end. Holy **** for the love of **** let me try the new game I've been excited for.

  • 45mph_ 45mph (@45mph_) reported

    @BlizzardCS I played overwatch 1 for hours yet I don’t have any of the characters or skins on overwatch 2. Also, any idea on when the fix will be out

  • Gorth27207197 Gary Rothsburg (@Gorth27207197) reported

    @ryandior_ I haven’t had connectivity issues i just don’t have any of the skins or golden guns from Overwatch 1 and I’m level one again so i can’t even do ranked

  • ManniquinW Wæn Manniquin (@ManniquinW) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent been trying to log on to overwatch 2 for hours only to keep receiving error codes... maybe beef up your servers for a game launch in the future?

  • beemewz beemewz (@beemewz) reported

    WHEN WILL I BE ABLE TO LOG ONN TO OVERWATCH 2?? I AM SO SAD THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES WHYYY

  • marketexplainor Market Explainooor (@marketexplainor) reported

    Chainlink ($LINK, +4.9%) rises significantly in response to reports Overwatch 2 Under DDOS Attack on Launch Day

  • SteelTrooper123 Stephen Trott - Steel Trooper (@SteelTrooper123) reported

    @SpectreBull I also see that Overwatch 2 did get hit with DDoS attacks *checks notes* only two hours after the game launched! I find it funny because Blizzard shut off Overwatch for a whole day to prep their servers for the sequel...

  • prup1e spooked 🎃 by performance anxiety (@prup1e) reported

    The overwatch 2 experience is waiting through a 40000 queue to disconnect, just to wait again to find out all your OW1 progress is gone

  • TheTreLifestyle Invader Him (@TheTreLifestyle) reported

    @corykins From what they’re saying, there was a DDOS attack that they’re sorting out. But I think the facts that overwatch was love just a couple hours before and people were on, including new players coming the servers probably can’t handle it right now.

  • Shmegula_ssb GRNT | Shmegula (@Shmegula_ssb) reported

    I waited in a 40000 person queue to play overwatch, got an error, waited in another 30000 person queue, finally got in. Then my controller began to drift so I went to the settings to recalibrate it. Got disconnected from the game, back to the infinite queue...
