  • enchantedhatake carlyween🎃🍂 (@enchantedhatake) reported

    i still can't get into overwatch 2 it won't even let me login. just keeps saying error try again. does this have anything to do with not syncing up my old overwatch account with overwatch 2 or is it another issue i am unaware of?

  • MrFrankieMojo Frankie (@MrFrankieMojo) reported

    These Overwatch 2 Queues and Server issues are unbearable maaan

  • Dazzner2 Dazzner2 (@Dazzner2) reported

    @PlayOverwatch So, two hours now and still no mention to the breaking news on start screen that maintenance is taking a bit longer? Also, wouldn't it have made sense to convert the overwatch 1 servers into ow2 servers so you didn't have as many problems?

  • Meaga__ Meaga (Acolyte Annihilator) (@Meaga__) reported

    @kamiyabtw Should have calculated for that one, ✨skill issue✨. Nah dude every clip I see makes the Overwatch 2 release seem like the rapture of all PvP players. That game is the savior to a better place LMAO

  • Sackillusion Sackillusion (@Sackillusion) reported

    Man, first Overwatch started maintenance an hour late (it started at 8 PDT instead of 7 PDT), and now the long queue times only to get an error message is back again. Just when I was finally able to get in…

    Locked out of Overwatch for days. 4 hours of maintenance, I’m finally able to play. More maintenance today, back to not being able to login. 🙄

  • galaxi_games_ galaxi (blm) (@galaxi_games_) reported

    @PlayOverwatch first, the downtime shifted MULTIPLE TIMES w/ no communication on console launchers or twitter. then i can finally start logging back in, only to have the same queue issues i had BEFORE the 4 hour maintenance yesterday (not after) L game, missing overwatch 1 crazy rn

  • Lets__jam Space Cowboy (@Lets__jam) reported

    Overwatch was working perfectly fine and then they did some maintenance and now I'm getting server errors again??? I swear the ************* at @Blizzard_Ent are sonfucking braindead. Just like overwatch 1 you couldn't just leave something that was working alone, ******* morons

  • SaturnSpaceSqid Cowboy Saturn the dumbass 🪐🫠 (@SaturnSpaceSqid) reported

  • StersBiggestFan Star (@StersBiggestFan) reported

    I’m just saying no one made a big deal about Fortnite pulling in players and reinventing monetization in gaming but Overwatch is the problem

  • SwoolePatrol WhatDCsPhoneSees 🇺🇲 (@SwoolePatrol) reported

    Overwatch servers down?

  • TheHannieCorner TheHannieCorner (@TheHannieCorner) reported

    The Overwatch 2 experience: Wait in queue for 30 minutes, get disconnected at the front, wait again, get in, start a game, have the game crash because you earned an achievement, wait in the queue again, get in, get disconnected for server maintenance halfway through the game.

  • Alimonkey25 Alimonkey25 (@Alimonkey25) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Overwatch was working fine for me but after maintenance, I can’t even get on the game. Unexpected error every single time. 🤬 not how I wanted to spend my weekend.

  • truestoner4201 truestoner420 (@truestoner4201) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent please fix this issue with needing a phone number to play overwatch 2. I have a phone that i pay for every month and i still can't play. It tells me my phone is pre paid but its not. Ive tried everything i can and nothing works so please fix this problem.

  • ParkerBurdash Sir Derpy (@ParkerBurdash) reported

  • Christi24770097 Christian Meyer (@Christi24770097) reported

    Finally logged into OW2 again today, just for my characters to be locked. after 5 hours of que yesterday I played just fine with all heroes unlocked. Spent $10 to just unlock them without waiting for the fix, never revived my 1,000 credits lmao. Overwatch 2 is a ******* joke.

    @ILockhartI @REMsgay @PlayOverwatch "Hold on, I'm about to login to overwatch 2. Oh wait, I got an error message. Now I'm at the back of the line again. Can this wait? I need to simp for overwatch all day." -You

  • carlsmeyer carl (@carlsmeyer) reported

    Just got moved from Merge Queue position 4300 to 560k AGAIN. Overwatch 2 you gotta fix your ****.... I just wanna play comp😫

  • Riiddlez riddler piss kink truther ;) (@Riiddlez) reported

    overwatch 2 really took servers down for maintenance and fixed absolutely nothing 💀

  • RedRanger616 RedRanger616 (@RedRanger616) reported

    I’ve never seen a game fail so incredibly hard at launch before like #Overwatch has. I get they’ve had issues. But even after a night of updating, the wait to play is still ridiculous. I shouldn’t have to sit here for 20-30 minutes just for a chance of playing the game.

  • ButterflyofIo Interdimensional Mystic 🕯 (@ButterflyofIo) reported

    still haven't been able to log into overwatch 2. extremely long queue times just to get a login error at the end.

  • ItsJuanWik Tyler Petty (@ItsJuanWik) reported

    @PlayOverwatch This is getting pretty ridiculous. How do you totally screw up a game so it doesn’t work? We can’t even play the original Overwatch while you try to fix this!

  • DylanCh22819759 Herb cookie (@DylanCh22819759) reported

    @BinTrnLong1 @MrCreper7_ Overwatch server broken

  • rawdeg Josh DeGraw (@rawdeg) reported

    Spinning up overwatch 2. Second night trying. Signed on, got to the monkey talking and had to take care of the kids for a second. I come back to find the servers down for maintenence. They're supposedly back in but I've been waiting for like 30 minutes behind 700 people? Lol what
