    @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch Is anyone still having the issue with there Overwatch skins transferring over? I’ve completed the account transfer multiple times and all it does is reset again and puts me in another queue for the account merge…

  • philisit Phil Spookerton III (@philisit) reported

    New Overwatch 2 glitch trying to tell me I don't own my own characters and have to earn them.

  • calebngwy Caleb Ng (@calebngwy) reported

    After installing and playing OW2 I run into a new problem every now and then. After using chrome, browsing and using YT or FB. It causes a problem where my game is super laggy. Loading will look like a slideshow. #PC #Overwatch Not sure if it’s a driver issue.

  • FigLife4Ever You People Have Brain Worms (@FigLife4Ever) reported

    @The_Seer_101 @Milowritesporn @BlizzardCS Huh weird then why didn't Overwatch 1 have these issues? Literally a brand new ******* game and non of this bullshit happened at launch. They had 3 betas to work this **** out and they dropped the ball. Simple as.

  • Dr_EPIC69 Desprin (@Dr_EPIC69) reported

    Im sorry but a glitch locking away half of the overwatch cast is so funny

  • Jupiter_247 Jose L. Perez (@Jupiter_247) reported

    I always get kicked to the login screen when I earn an achievement. It's annoying and should be looked into. #Overwatch

  • KreamandCo Kreamiee (@KreamandCo) reported

    @Moonmanmom i had all of mine but overwatch posted a tweet earlier stating that they are pulling bastion and Torbjörn to fix them

  • keybladehero13  Yozora 🗝 (@keybladehero13) reported

    So I played Overwatch 1 on Switch and PS4 and randomly lost some of my characters on OW2 on Switch. Havent checked ps4 yet but I imagine it's the same. Anybody else having these issues? It says I have to unlock Dva again when I literally played as her yesterday

  • PeDaCote Pierre-Étienne Côté (@PeDaCote) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Then why is Torb one of 3 fu**ing hero you can play?? Don't you think 3000h of game is enough experience to get all the roster???? Fix your ****** game or bring back the real overwatch

  • Puddbudd Kyle Hughes (@Puddbudd) reported

    @PlayOverwatch WHY ARE MOST OF MY HEROES LOCKED NOW??!!! FIX YOUR ******* GAME! #Overwatch #Overwatch2 #Blizzard

  • TOONZY_LOONZ M1SS FR3AK (@TOONZY_LOONZ) reported

    @Qwik @YouTube bro mike, can you unlock most of the old overwatch characters man.. this is uncool man, like ?? fix your game.

  • djpinger Pinger (@djpinger) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Activision Ever since Activision took over Blizzard, their games have become trash. Overwatch 1 week in and still broken. Garbage company.

  • saiyan_supra Don Quixote Donflanegro (@saiyan_supra) reported

    Blizzard, how yall hyped overwatch 2 and fumble the bag this badly. Issa new issue every day

  • Wakandas_Finest 𝕮𝖔𝖎𝖙 コイト (@Wakandas_Finest) reported

    I mean at this point I guess I should just be happy I can at least get in Overwatch 2 no problem and play comp, rather than complain about more than half my roster being locked

  • littlefoxbat baby gremlin (@littlefoxbat) reported

    Don't bother playing @PlayOverwatch. It's completely broken and unplayable. All these bugs have ruined the experience for me. #bugwatch #overwatch

  • kapnsn0w THE LOST LANDS CONSENT🍑🔜Okee (@kapnsn0w) reported

    Hey @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch how about you guys cut the bullshit and give us all back the Overwatch we paid for instead of this broken piece of unfinished **** you all felt was ready for launch. Stop making us pay for your mistakes after you TOOK AWAY A WORKING GAME!

  • ElementalDAR ElementalDAR (@ElementalDAR) reported

    Half of my characters on #Overwatch are locked out now for some reason. But I'm sure the small indie company #blizzard is doing everything it can to fix the problems.

  • HyphenGamin HyphenGamin (@HyphenGamin) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch Overwatch people can’t see there stats in game like there career profiles are bugged and it’s been almost a week will all my games and stats be there when you fix it or will I have to do it all over again

  • MeGalo1987 MF MeGalo (@MeGalo1987) reported

    @BlizzardCS You forget to include a fix for purchases on overwatch coins. Please put out a statement regarding this.

  • MeGalo1987 MF MeGalo (@MeGalo1987) reported

    @BlizzardCS Your forgetting the issue with the purchases regarding overwatch coins. Many people are having the same issue regarding their coins

  • IAmGamerTempo N3RD | Tempo (@IAmGamerTempo) reported

    Not having all my Overwatch 1 skins in Overwatch 2 when I should have it is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Does anyone know of a fix???

  • Mister_Wrecked Mister Wrecked (@Mister_Wrecked) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Fix your game. Fire whomever is leading the Overwatch tam responsible for rolling out Overwatch 2. I though Bungie had the most scuffed game rollouts. Guess I was wrong.
