    @snc237 @CrZuf @Stylosa What are you trying to tell me lmao? I payed 40 bucks for Overwatch 1 & got half of all the items for free so do you seriously think i would’ve had a problem to pay 60 bucks for OW2? Not at all—much rather pay $60 once when it means that I can get everything for free again.

  • RoseGol420 Rose 🥀 (@RoseGol420) reported

    Yeah overwatch 2 is still just as buggy and weird as the first one, but yknow what's different this time? I can say "they'll fix it soon enough" and there is a really good chance I'm right

  • PUPP3R Pupper 🐶 (@PUPP3R) reported

    @BlizzardCS I can't login to overwatch on my main account but when I switch to a different account it lets me in, this happened when the game first released too, when can I play on my main again??

  • candymantoby07 candymantoby (@candymantoby07) reported

    Is it just me or is anybody else having a problem logging in to overwatch 2

  • VenReloaded LuminusStarChild (@VenReloaded) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Fix your skin prices or give use more currency for our buck no other game I have played on the f2p market has ever felt so stinge and cash hungry then how overwatch has become #distrusted #overwatchmorelikeoverpriced #fixit

  • derelictcountry Derelict Country (@derelictcountry) reported

    @biggestsoup I don't think we're talking about the same game here. I don't play Overwatch so I can't speak to it as a whole. But you haven't changed my mind a battle pass is at the very least, a marginally better system than loot boxes for fishing out cosmetics on a live free to play service.

  • maximumsoccer Max (@maximumsoccer) reported

    @BlizzardCS Fix the login servers for overwatch already

  • cosmostarz_ Eclipse (@cosmostarz_) reported

    @manedwolves101 Sorry to ignore your tweet, but can you get into Overwatch right now, I can't at all, I just saying log in error. I was just wondering if you could help??

  • RavenMooncaster Andrew Melton (@RavenMooncaster) reported

    @BlizzardCS how come my wife can play overwatch 2 on her Xbox one with no issue but every time I try to; I get the LC-208 error code? I have tried everything that Xbox reccomended to try to fix the problem already. Also I find this hilarious because we are on the same Wi-Fi.

  • ShrilThunder Shril (@ShrilThunder) reported

    @SamitoFPS Is more beneficial due to the clutter of said game. The idea of adding aim assist won’t make it inherently broken as there’s a lot of hinderances to using a controller on overwatch. Certain games do not work on controller like they do on mnk and frankly ow is one of those games.

  • Hadokuen Hado (@Hadokuen) reported

    Overwatch 2 is a fun game, but it's such an unfinished game. The SBMM is omega whack, the balancing is whack, there lots of issues that still need to be fixed, they deadass released an unfinished f2p game lmao

  • 5tevve . (@5tevve) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN another day of not being replied to by anyone about the issues I’m having with my previous overwatch account. Could I please have some kind of response from someone out of curtsy….

  • diamondgirlere illustrations.by.emma (@diamondgirlere) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Hi I just updated my overwatch 2 on switch and keep getting an error message of the software was closed because an error occurred

  • JustFinax 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 ✨ (@JustFinax) reported

    @Plethiros @CrZuf @Stylosa Nothing makes sense in Overwatch 2 atm & that’s the problem.

  • Minimaster36 min (@Minimaster36) reported

    overwatch 2's microtransactions are disgusting with their pricing, fullstop. all you do by making fun of people who are malding at silly things is obfuscate the more important issue

  • BoochiDoochi 👻BochiDochi🎃 (@BoochiDoochi) reported

    @Daithiee Yeah but those games started F2P overwatch used to have free cosmetics and now doesnt, thats the biggest issue with this whole thing.

  • OnyxGamez_Ofc OnyxGamez (@OnyxGamez_Ofc) reported

    @Fernand94801871 @PlayOverwatch No my other games it's not lagging it's only overwatch thats crashes even when I reset it's the still the same

  • lidllondon smyth (@lidllondon) reported

    Can anyone else not log into overwatch 2 I keep getting a error message #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

  • Just_Nyra Nyra (@Just_Nyra) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS I haven’t been able to save any of my highlights in Overwatch 2. It just tells me saving isn’t available when in a group or queuing for a game even though I’m not. I’ve had to rely on the Xbox capture feature instead. When are you going to fix this?

  • veryheated121 veryheated (@veryheated121) reported

    @Imman_Adan Turned the game off because I had weird vibes + I wanted to play overwatch! From what it seems like he just made an error, just looking at his comments he shouldve taken a foul during that stretch

  • iiAmAngelus Angelus (@iiAmAngelus) reported

    @BlizzardCS Error code LC- 208 i can't log in at all from playstation 5 for the Halloween event on Overwatch 2

  • seiisho 月へ (@seiisho) reported

    if shroud placed in silver on overwatch you know the ranked system is broken…

  • thefinnyouknow Finn!! m/w Emmy💕 (@thefinnyouknow) reported

    Overwatch 2 Monetization is awful and so is how they went about this event. The characters they said would be getting nerfs still haven’t been nerfed, the rampant power issue is still there. But dear god if PvE is exactly like wrath of the bride I’m logging HUNDREDS of hours 100%

  • DreamWeaver02 Jay-cub (@DreamWeaver02) reported

    Overwatch 2 has a real problem with servers dropping out mid game. Just got kicked from a competitive game that my team was about to win and now I have a loss. Thanks @Blizzard_Ent

  • HeliosGalaxy Helios Starr the Chaos Cat || Furry VTuber (@HeliosGalaxy) reported

    imagine if weapon charms enhanced your abilities. overwatch would be more broken than before 😭

  • ladymonicosplay ᱬoni is ready for the Halloween Spooktacular (@ladymonicosplay) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent Skins alone my account that I've loyally played for years costs $11,460. That's not right. If you don't fix this cashgrab, you're going to lose more than just this loyal player. And you're going to lose us not just for Overwatch but any @Blizzard_Ent game. Don't be greedy.

  • Random5622 Random (Access Memory) (@Random5622) reported

    So I didnt realize now that I wasnt streaming! So sorry to everyone who thought I was live and came and saw me offline! My apologies! I was having trouble with OverWatch the whole time so I didnt get to play it. BUT I will try again with OverWatch next time!

  • VorxDarg0 Vorx (@VorxDarg0) reported

    @Kotaku This is new? Overwatch 1 had this issue also. No one wants to heal, just do damage.

  • VenReloaded LuminusStarChild (@VenReloaded) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Fix your skin prices or give use more currency for our buck no other game I have played on the f2p market has ever felt so stinge and cash hungry then what overwatch has become ow2 was ment to be a pve expansion insted use have turned it into a discusting cash grab smh 😡

  • JQR0666 JQE (@JQR0666) reported
