    Played Overwatch 2 until like 3AM, woke up late, got to work late, and my first customer when I walk in is a regular who said "Why don't you look happy" and I told her I'm never happy and now I'm in trouble

  • ReveL_XIV ReveL  (@ReveL_XIV) reported

    I'm glad I got to play 5 minutes of Overwatch 2...before there was an error and I was placed 800 in queue then that queue ended and put me at 40k in queue...

  • PoppaChocolate Prayer (@PoppaChocolate) reported

    Played Overwatch 2 too long last night, woke up late, got to work late, and my first customer when I walk in is a regular who said "Why don't you look happy" and I told her I'm never happy and now I'm in trouble

  • _PeterPix_ PeterPix (@_PeterPix_) reported

    Overwatch 2 is fun and all but the bugs and unexpected errors right makes it a bad experience. Time for Heroes of the storm!

  • RimeGarbage A-rock 🌙 (@RimeGarbage) reported

    It’s actually not possible to login to Overwatch

  • RhodGuard Rico Döhler (@RhodGuard) reported

    @TheToadFPS @Bonusduckz @Fliping_ The problem is that this is just a massive step away from the nature and feeling of Overwatch 1. And just because they failed at achieving what everyone hoped for with Overwatch 1 they chose to throw that away for the sake of making more money. 1/2

  • LivingTommy Tommy the living shitpost (@LivingTommy) reported

    So I just bought the new OverWatch game the other day and I was excited to play it because it needed to be an update but the thing is it's not working so I spent $40 for nothing @BlizzardCS

  • CWill21x Cam (@CWill21x) reported

    @BlizzardCS I wasn’t aware that I had an option to merge accounts in Overwatch 1 to carry stuff over. I’m staying on the same linked battlenet account and Xbox family, and none of my cosmetics transferred over. Are they lost forever or is a fix being worked on?

  • MMc2lovin Mc2lovin M (@MMc2lovin) reported

    Just want to say waiting in a que for thirty mins to 45 min to play one game in overwatch 2 is mad stupid when some big streamers that promoted the game can play four or five games or all day without having to do that it's mad annoying and just not right fix your **** blizzard

  • OnePoliticalCat PolitiCat (@OnePoliticalCat) reported

    Even though this usually happens with Blizzard releases or even big MMO releases, I have a pro-tip to help those that did the DDoS attack on the Overwatch servers: Go outside and touch grass

  • ActScene_lol AWDHUDAWHUWADU (@ActScene_lol) reported

    dont fix overwatch lobbies dont even worry about it

  • ah_habs SchnappschildkröteEx (@ah_habs) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Please fix your game , it is bs , put in a second tank , slow the pace let my team mates join in before you start the game . Oh and also add the level system and rename the game to Overwatch cause its the same sh/t

  • przave Ema.przave (@przave) reported

    @gui_santx @FortniteGame Overwatch 2 you mean , connection error please try again later the game??

  • RepetitiveKing Thrillhouse (@RepetitiveKing) reported

    Overwatch 2 not working? That's a drag man, you should give Paladins a try.

  • CalledAbbe ImCalledAbbe (@CalledAbbe) reported

    @BlizzardCS In overwatch, if you get a server error and gets kicked from the game, do you still get a loss in comp?

  • whattoputsia :( (@whattoputsia) reported

  • SaulRam30750978 Saul Ramirez (@SaulRam30750978) reported

    @OverwatchEU @BlizzardCSEU_EN OverWatch are you going to fix stuff phone number thing to tell because well I already made an account and I don't want to do the phone number thing

  • DarklingGaymer 👻Darkling Gaymer🎃 Sonic Frontiers Hype!(35 days) (@DarklingGaymer) reported

    @StarPow4 Nah they're both crappy online but here's the difference between em. Splatoon is fun and Overwatch is mid. I'd rather experience errors online than a game from Activision Blizzard.

  • dantesfgo monke baby (@dantesfgo) reported

    @DuxSins @Blizzard_Ent this is a bigger issue than the queued honestly, people can wait, but us that played overwatch 1 now we log in and none of our stuff is there, they needa make an update

  • kiyonoodle 𝐫𝐮𝐛𝐲 🍓🧸💌 (@kiyonoodle) reported

    also why have i not got all heroes unlocked if i played overwatch 1 ??? is there a way to fix it?

  • Bexas6 Becki Piper (@Bexas6) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I know you're already having many problems. I finally was able to load into Overwatch, but I had bought the Watchpoint pack and it's not showing up for me? I should have the premium battle pass, but I don't. I just want to enjoy this game I've loved since 2016.

  • Guidingkitsune Mai Torriku 🏮| RIG AND MODEL OPEN (@Guidingkitsune) reported

    Ok but imagine being one of the ones DDoS attacking OW2 servers Like ur really gunna risk max 10 years in jail for overwatch!??!

  • ProfessorMac6 ProfessorMac (@ProfessorMac6) reported

    Marketing idea for a new game... Overwatch 2: Login Queue - a rogue-like experience where every attempt brings new challenges
