  • THEMZZAH Marty (@THEMZZAH) reported

    Has anyone actually got to okay #overwatch today? I keep getting connection failure or it asks me to sign in after I’ve been queued, once i sign in it goes back to a queue it is so annoying 😩 @battlenet

  • ThatGuyAlekai DarkTimeline Alex (@ThatGuyAlekai) reported

    Is the ddos attack over? #Overwatch

  • JoseTGAM JoseTGAM (@JoseTGAM) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Literally the one thing that's not letting about 80% percent of players or something play Overwatch2 excluding the server issues is the post paid phone number just remove that and that 80% percent is playing overwatch again but what are the chances of blizzard listening to us

  • WesleyH16368838 Roxas Red Hood (@WesleyH16368838) reported

    And there's the "Login Error Has Occurred" for the time in my life for Overwatch 2 lmfao.

  • Jessieshay6 Jessie shay (@Jessieshay6) reported

    I really don't see a problem with overwatch 2 and it's battle pass so what if you have to pay money

  • MilanMakes Milan (@MilanMakes) reported

    After rounds and rounds if disconnecting and sitting in queue for hours, I got into Overwatch 2 and man I'm so ******* happy with it. Some issues with the business model, sure, but Jesus it's fun.

  • is_waddles waddles (@is_waddles) reported

    overwatch been delayed cause of login issues, still playing apex though

  • Amishanda Manders🌙 (@Amishanda) reported

    Overwatch 2 players be going through the same server queues and crash issues that ffxiv players did in December for Endwalker haha My brethren, i feel your pain. Be strong.

  • MuseickWes MuseickWes (@MuseickWes) reported

    @maximilian_ Overwatch 2 servers are still bad btw, From my understanding queuing in Asia servers on PC is the best way to get in. 1st time I've seen a game Launch with Server issues b/c of a Ddos attack

  • rubynightt R U B Y. N I G H T T🐐 (@rubynightt) reported

    Time to wait in queue for Overwatch, hoping the 40,000 people in front don’t suddenly have a power outage

  • STARFFRUIT mick 💫 @ SPOOKY MONTH 👻 (@STARFFRUIT) reported

    WHY DO I KEEP GETTING A LOGIN ERROR EVERY TIME I GET TO THE END OF 299 QUEUE WHAT IS GOING ON @OVERWATCH !!!!!!!!!!!

  • Gamergtv2086 G20 (@Gamergtv2086) reported

  • Cameront654321 Cameron Taylor (@Cameront654321) reported

    @PlayOverwatch is it just me we I got into overwatch my watchpoint pack is not working and it did not give me the skins and battle pass

  • heromedley Pau (@heromedley) reported

    overwatch 2 login queues are absolutely abysmal, i feel so bad for people who paid for this game. oh well, back to gundam evolution i guess.

  • GFCMayor GFCMayor (@GFCMayor) reported

    Even with the ddos happening the fact that so many people are losing their old accounts because the account merge from pc to console is ******* up this badly is a big point to overwatch 2 being the worst game release ever

  • Falcore360 Falcore 360 (@Falcore360) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent I'm not sure if a lot of people are having this problem but when I try and add my phone number to my battlenet account it tells me "add post paid phone number". I am not able to play overwatch 2 or change my phone provider. What do I do???

  • yusukexcloud yusuke 🔞 (@yusukexcloud) reported

    I seen y’all talking about Overwatch not working earlier today and now I’m reading it was due to a DDoS attack. Yikes.

  • StrawHatKamron K. 💎💍 (@StrawHatKamron) reported

    WHY DID OVERWATCH JUST DISCONNECT ME

  • aaronbruce02 Aaron Bruce (@aaronbruce02) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent I have played overwatch since 2017 the characters are locked now and I can’t play them. I played a few games with them then got booted and they are all locked. pls fix

  • andi0kk #belief Andi0k (@andi0kk) reported

    I’m guessing everyone is having issues trying to get into OW2 so probably no overwatch for me tonight

  • BostonianCritic Justin The Bostonian (@BostonianCritic) reported

    Trying to play Overwatch 2 on my switch but I kinda can’t bc of that stupid DDoS attack

  • netnyxus NetNyxus (@netnyxus) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent I have the Watchpoint pack and I don't have access to the whole roster. Anyone else have this issue or a fix #Overwatch #Overwatch2

  • struckm4n Michael Struckman (@struckm4n) reported

    Not only is Overwatch 2 having major connectivity issues (I understand their serves under attack) but my waypoint dlc wasn’t redeemed. I purchased it back in September. Almost bought it a second time because I wasn’t sure if I was mistaken I had already purchased it.

  • TheCTFrank Spooky Caden ⍟ (@TheCTFrank) reported

    The ultimate Overwatch 2 experience: Game server connection failed... retrying. Game server connection failed... retrying. Game server connection failed... retrying. Login failed. In queue: 20000 players ahead of you.

  • GreenSimpson1 Green Simpson (@GreenSimpson1) reported

    @daddypumpkin43 See, your problem there was playing Overwatch 2

  • visiondeaf Tone Blind (@visiondeaf) reported

    @ankokyun Omg I’ve been having weird issues too! My skins transferred but the heroes are locked and it says I’m playing a different version of Overwatch :/

  • ora__rero emily 🌸 (@ora__rero) reported
