  • RadiantSwordX Radiant Sword X (零) (@RadiantSwordX) reported

    @mangoboyhead @BlizzardCS @MattDrakos Please uninstall Overwatch 2. It's no longer playable. Blizzard will not fix it.

  • ladyddancing lady d’s lawyer (lucy) (@ladyddancing) reported

  • AyeeFausto PapiFaust (@AyeeFausto) reported from Bronx, New York

    1. Long *** que(waitied approximately 20 mins) but got in the game only to see i had nothing(even though i owned the first overwatch and got the watch point edition) except 2k in game currency. Was told i had to restard my game to fix this

  • TheyCallMeDSP DSP Gets SPOOKY! (@TheyCallMeDSP) reported

    There is absolutely no way a DDOS attack is the reason nobody can play Overwatch 2 today. EVERYBODY had been predicting this would happen when Blizzard did ZERO to properly prepare for a free to play launch. Making up excuses is embarrassing for a AAA game dev #Overwatch2

  • JaysTiddyMilk Enya (@JaysTiddyMilk) reported

    I load into overwatch 2 about like half an hour after it was released to find out 0 of my cosmetics or golden guns had been transfered. So like is this a glitch or did I not account merge properly?

  • Spinedustings — 𝑨𝑮𝑬 𝑶𝑭 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑺𝑷𝑰𝑫𝑬𝑹 주리한 (@Spinedustings) reported

    @Sin_Unleashed / many people are missing cosmetics they had in overwatch 1. Add to that, servers are getting absolutely slamfucked by DDOS attacks.

  • MealorOscar Oscar Mealor (@MealorOscar) reported

    @BroYouWack Let get overwatch to fix it

  • _Mike2112 Mike Hams (@_Mike2112) reported

    @BlizzardCS I played OW on my PS4, but may have been doing it on a different account. I loaded up Overwatch 2 and none of my stuff is there. I had some issues linking with BNET for COD but didn't think about Overwatch. Can anyone help me link my old account to my actual one?

  • SueKingCoxPDX Sue King Cox PNW (@SueKingCoxPDX) reported

    Honestly hoping this is because of the overwatch 2 ddos and it's not the fault of Blizz 😭

  • dushball Armando J Fuentes (@dushball) reported

    @BlizzardCS worst part is paying for the Watchpoint pack, being a day one player and not even been able to join the game even with the problems. I feel cheated and disappointed at the same time, because I really love Overwatch and this is simply unacceptable.

  • sushibee_s bee 🐝 (@sushibee_s) reported

  • ccloudberryy cloudberry ✿ (@ccloudberryy) reported

    @periyssology @twtcandi @caseeyful So you're telling me that Overwatch ran perfectly fine 48 hours ago..... they take the game down for 24 hours to update it to overwatch 2....and now the login servers dont work? Who do you have to fire over there for this **** up? OW2 is basically a patch ...good job lmao

  • Clarence_Pryor Clarence Alexander Pryor 🏳️‍🌈 (@Clarence_Pryor) reported

    @BlizzardCS I have an SMS problem. I can't play Overwatch 2 because of some phone number problem. Looks like it's the end for me to hopefully play Overwatch 2.

  • JSeidel1623 James Seidel (@JSeidel1623) reported

    Overwatch 2 is a ton of fun when the servers don't constantly crash

  • OneSpeedyBoi1 Soup (@OneSpeedyBoi1) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent I’m currently having problems with the game Overwatch 2, with it saying I’m playing the trial of Overwatch 2 and not the base game. It’s just not letting me in and saying the trial is not playable at this time even though I’m just trying to play.
