  • AurosVR Auros (@AurosVR) reported

    If I resolved the blue screen issue with Overwatch 2, I might stream it

  • _Smoke ONi Smoke (@_Smoke) reported

    I still have the problem with overwatch that it’s way more fun to play it than to watch it.

  • Dusoeeee Dusoe Gaming (@Dusoeeee) reported

    @peter_dozal @PandaCapone @OWAnonymous_ Yeah imma go out on a limb make a complete guess and say 90 percent of overwatch players have a family member or friend they can get a code sent to one time to log in. If people don't have one trusted person in their lives then they have bigger issues than not playing a game lol

  • Xidphel Xidphel (@Xidphel) reported

    @PlaysCurley @RedshellOW We're thinking of the same company, right? The same one that closed Warcraft 3 before launching a broken Reforged? The same one that shut down Overwatch for Overwatch 2? The one that hid heroes behind battle passes?

  • itzkingofthe90s KingOfThe90s (@itzkingofthe90s) reported

    Why do I feel like the release of #MWII is causing these “DDoS attacks”? 🤔 #Overwatch

  • jarednay Jared Nay (@jarednay) reported

    @BlizzardCS I sat in the Overwatch 2 cue for an hour on Switch only to get a BC-160 error. Any assistance on this? Can’t find this error on your support page.

  • pasteldaffodil It's me 🇺🇦🇵🇸🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@pasteldaffodil) reported

    @XboxSupport Can't play any gamepass games. I keep getting an outage error. Status only shows issues for Overwatch 2 and FIFA. What gives??

  • zkinov rizkinov (@zkinov) reported

  • Candied_Pawss ✨CandiedPaws✨🔜 ??? (@Candied_Pawss) reported

    Loving still not being able to get into overwatch after it being out. Stupid LC-208 login error **** 🤦 I literally just want to play the game and can’t.

  • HaydynWatcher 𝗛𝗮𝘆𝗱𝘆𝗻 🔞 (@HaydynWatcher) reported

    @StinkyBlaine I haven’t even been able to play a game of Overwatch 2 yet due to the server issues 💀~

  • yolopokemons James Beckwith (@yolopokemons) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Not me on xbox still not being able to login to overwatch 2 getting errors

  • walala32671695 walala (@walala32671695) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Hello I wanted to inform you of an error that happened to me recently about 2 minutes ago I made a purchase of 1000 overwatch coins to which the balance of my card was deducted but the coins did not accumulate in the overwatch coins I do not know if they could give me a solution.

  • SMthegamer1 Shawn Matthews (@SMthegamer1) reported

    @TheActMan_YT I stepped away from Overwatch when they implemented the role queues and took out role swapping mid-game, Overwatch 2 has fixed that problem for my friend and I, so I'm back.

  • Adeon Adeon (@Adeon) reported

    Overwatch 2 is fun, fixes a lot of problems I had with the gameplay of the first game. But holy crap, am I glad I don't care about cosmetic items - that is the greediest shop I've ever seen. It it ever spills into effecting gameplay, I'm out.

  • GrandDarkElf Unexpected Server Error Occurred (@GrandDarkElf) reported

    Unexpected Server Error Occurred... @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch #Overwatch2down it has been over 3 days with this stupid error, I haven't even seen what the menu looks like yet. WTF?!

  • supasmashpotato Madsamurai (@supasmashpotato) reported

    @TheActMan_YT Other live service games locks new characters behind a paywall, nobody bats an eye. Overwatch 2 makes people to just play the game to unlock characters and everyone loses their mind.

  • Dreamless829 dreamless829 (@Dreamless829) reported

    @Index_OL @TheActMan_YT The problem is... that could have been an update. Overwatch isn't like Call of Duty or Halo where it's made to be replaced, the game was built to stick around and keep receiving new content. So why release a brand new title when every change we've seen could have been an update?

  • LobsterDroid MrDroid (@LobsterDroid) reported

    I have made a overwatch 2 smurf account because i keep getting LC-208 error, i never did this before but i become frustrated

  • mihawkenshi Mihawk (@mihawkenshi) reported

    @Kephrii @_miguelreis_ There is no problem with aim in Overwatch 2. Some people just can't get used to the new sound effects and visual changes and are obsessed with it.

  • AshyPrime ash (@AshyPrime) reported

    if overwatch 2 truly is a sequel then why can i still not hit with genji's shurikens???? only feature i wanted them to fix

  • jonny98689281 jonnyTheSmilingFace🏳️‍🌈 (@jonny98689281) reported

    I realy enjoy overwatch 2. The past 2 days i played every god damn second i had time. Some of the most fun i have had in a long time. And yes the server problems are anoying but even that doesen't stop me from having fun in this game.

  • the_galaxy_kitt ♥︎ kitt ♥︎ (@the_galaxy_kitt) reported

    Why the hell is Overwatch 2 not working on my switch?! It just keeps saying “connecting”. @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent

  • SilverSprings30 👻 Spooky Toko Silver 🎃 (@SilverSprings30) reported

    @GambitXIII It's just what Game is still fun because Overwatch is a fun game It's just a mess right now since everything is on fire. Atm my only issues is the queue but that's expected considering But slowly but surely they will fix their crap and the game will be working properly

  • ballsgyu sodo ♡ OW2 DAY !!! (@ballsgyu) reported

    is anyone else having issues with crackling sound on overwatch 2? if a lot is happening my sound cuts in and out kinda like it's crackling and it's annoying as ****

  • Isaacvince9 Isaac vince (@Isaacvince9) reported

    So overwatch 2 has robbed me? I bought 1000 overwatch coins for the battle pass yet when I go and buy it apparently I still have 0 coins anyone else got this issue

  • Zombie719 Philip K (@Zombie719) reported

    I can't wait until all the new people to Overwatch get bored of it... That way I can actually get into some games. No hate to you guys, I just need to get my fix.

  • SpiderLynk 🕷 (@SpiderLynk) reported

    Overwatch fix servers ASAP!!

  • its_Hallzy ʜᴀʟʟᴢʏ 🌱 (@its_Hallzy) reported

    Overwatch 2 experience so far: - Was in position 500 of the que - Watched it slowly go down - Finally got to front of the que! - Immediately got an error - Put back into que and was back at 500. - Logged off for the night 👍

  • LuckiiTucky Tucky (@LuckiiTucky) reported

    dude its so cool how i sit through the overwatch queue now that they've "fixed the phone number problem" only for it still to deny me. that's so cool. **** this game, i'm gonna play tf2 and splatoon until this **** gets sorted

  • CaptainMinnette Captain Minnette (@CaptainMinnette) reported

    @seanwhitton66 @CaptainKirkNZ @TheActMan_YT There is less slow rotation as DPS try to get a pick on another team from a slight positioning issue. Openings need to be called and executed on faster than Overwatch 1, but they definitely still happen.
