  • splatmusbi ... (@splatmusbi) reported

    @PlayOverwatch it's been over 24 hours since the release of Overwatch 2 and 24 hours of stressful queues and connection errors. This is what happens when you don't know how to maintain your game servers...

  • 4Lukaska 4Lukaska (@4Lukaska) reported

    If you are actually playing Overwatch 2 you are buck broken sorry to say

  • banana_slayer10 ***** ****** (@banana_slayer10) reported

    @battlenet want to play Overwatch 2 on PC, but turns out you need a phone number. No problem I have a phone, Sike you can't. I tried Metro, my mom's who's in Cricket wireless, and my sister who's in Verizon and guess what! it still did not work. what phone service do you accept

  • cullenmon Cullen (@cullenmon) reported

    Hey like I got on for a little bit on Overwatch 2 last night and was having a blast but it’s day two and still can’t get back on. I understand it’s a whole servers getting smashed and DDoS whatever but like I just wanna play more

  • Newso__ Jordan🐝 (@Newso__) reported

    Ngl if Overwatch 2 doesn’t fix its issues in the next two days, things are going to start looking bad.

  • _disfooadrian Adrian ☢️ (@_disfooadrian) reported

    Overwatch 2 is not working for me😭

  • itsxeonx Xeonx (@itsxeonx) reported

    i made the fatal error of accidentally closing overwatch.

  • Michael72659967 Michael (@Michael72659967) reported

    @aaronkellerOW Legitimately shut the servers down again so your not pissing people off for how long it's taking for you to fix it. You've cancelled overwtch 1 which people cannot play anymore and overwatch 2 wich you've forced everyone to play. No-one can play it.

  • verraiseme Coda🦉 (@verraiseme) reported

    hey @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent your system won't let me add my 5+ year old phone number because it has pre-paid service. Please address this so I can play Overwatch 2 with my friends. It'd be 30+/mo. more to get a post-paid contract just to play a f2p game

  • 4shCole Cole (@4shCole) reported

    Nobody is Ddos’ing #Overwatch

  • frict Lilith just humbled a model! (@frict) reported

  • dag2pt0 Steven Clark (@dag2pt0) reported

    @BlizzardCS I purchased an overwatch 2 1000 credit bundle last night on the Xbox marketplace. I have a receipt and charge for the credits, but my account has a balance of 0 still. Is there an ETA on when these issues will be resolved?

  • Yoshiware2 YoshiWare (@Yoshiware2) reported

    @Ambrose1272 Overwatch 2 🤝 McD’s Ice Cream Machine Not working

  • MyGuyToby Toby Perry (@MyGuyToby) reported

    Wanted to try out Overwatch 2 earlier to see if its any better than I remember. While in the queue, I decided that I'd take a shot every time I got an error code... So half a dozen error codes later when I finally get in, I cannot hit any of my shots and the room is spinning.

  • apn_ownz Jeremy koertje (@apn_ownz) reported

    Hey blizzard how about you fix this crap you call overwatch 2 none of us are happy with it we cant even get in it takes an enternity and even when we do we get a error

  • YOKOVision_ Lets Break it Down! (@YOKOVision_) reported

    Apparently overwatch is still broken. Ima give it one attempt when I get off work and if it don’t it’s getting replaced with another game.

  • Kritigri 𝓚𝓻𝓲𝓼𝓽𝓲𝓪𝓷, 𝓟𝓾𝓷🎃𝓚𝓲𝓷 (@Kritigri) reported

    Boy I should would have loved to have played more Overwatch 2 tonight. Not sure why I was placed 2000th in the queue when my friends could get in no problem (one on my platform) 🙃

  • calmssea Sungsoo Khim (@calmssea) reported

    Overwatch 2 launch issues.. I think this deserves a good postmortem on what not to do or so. (Not talking about DDoS issues tho)

  • metalhead684 Proud Gerbil Lover (@metalhead684) reported

    @Z_Vil8 @The_BlackBaronn @IGN Overwatch didnt have this issue at launch..go figure

  • Sackillusion Sackillusion (@Sackillusion) reported

    @FroggerOW That’s been my belief. Whoever started the ddos attack must really want Overwatch 2 to fail

  • Sethschwebach1 Sethschwebach (@Sethschwebach1) reported

    @PlayOverwatch can we just play the game. Fix your servers. Overwatch was perfectly fine and you guys just screw it all up #screwup

  • OseronPhaer Laisheron Phaenun (@OseronPhaer) reported

    I had planned on streaming today, but because I messed with my graphics settings (to alleviate my framerate issues from yesterday) and Overwatch wants a restart...we'll pass and just go in tomorrow.

  • theastrotyler Tyler (@theastrotyler) reported

    If all of my stuff from Overwatch 1 doesn’t carry over into 2 by the time they “fix” this I’m goin to be so pissed y’all. You can’t promise that all your stuff will carry over and then not deliver on it.
