  • politic_ian ian 🎃 (@politic_ian) reported from Kalamazoo, Michigan

    Now that I think about it, @ATVI_AB basically just stole a game from me. No Overwatch one anymore and I can’t play 2 because of my phone service. I am not changing service to play a damn video game lmao

  • Leatherhide Leatherhide (@Leatherhide) reported

    Thank you for the DDOS on Overwatch 2 which gives players like me a hard time. Instead of hitting their corportate network where all the abuse happened, take it out on the players why don't you...

  • DG_Bradlaye ! (@DG_Bradlaye) reported

    can’t even sign in to check out overwatch 2 that’s annoying

  • thescotsman1996 Aydan Boyce 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@thescotsman1996) reported

    @ATVI_AB how are you the biggest server/player count holders for games and you still can't create servers big enough for people to play on and don't say that ddos **** that happened to overwatch the game is **** no one wants to ddos that ****

  • goro_ace 🏳️‍⚧️Ace Defective🏳️‍⚧️(FFXIV ARC 6.0) (@goro_ace) reported

    Didnt get a street fighter 6 code, overwatch 2 is broken and my gundam model kit got delayed for another week goodbye forever yall

  • nixenetics Andrew Nicks (@nixenetics) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent Fix the servers! why would you get rid of overwatch 1 when overwatch 2 isn't working? now we can't play overwatch at all. if you get rid of overwatch 1 and are forcing people to play overwatch 2 at least make sure it's working!!!

  • dr1nkybird drinky 🇺🇦 SUPPORT UKRAINE (@dr1nkybird) reported

    I’m going to play overwatch 2 in a months time They need to work out their issues Also the game is **** I actually hate overwatch

  • DuvaTark ↁ𝕦𝕧𝕒 (@DuvaTark) reported

    Yesterday I played #Overwatch2 to discover that it is not a new game, not even an expansion, is no more than a patch of overwatch 1. But the most stupid thing is that they have server problems with a game that have been running for 6 years.

  • xFromNothingx Mario (@xFromNothingx) reported

    What's worse is that even if you wanted to play the original overwatch while you wait, you can't because they stopped supporting the live service to it One of the many ****** things about modern games, they can pull the plug whenever

  • Witchyheretic 🩸𝕬𝖚𝖙𝖚𝖒𝖓🩸 (@Witchyheretic) reported

    @balagaln @whiten0iz @lackingsaint But that's a one time purchase, AT&T or whatever phone plan you have is a monthly service plus you have to buy a phone and that adds to the cost to play OverWatch 2 so you're basically paying a monthly subscription to play the damn game and it's ridiculous.

  • Horrend12106731 Horrendous (@Horrend12106731) reported

    Can’t load into overwatch 2. Think it’s cuz of some ddos hack or smth, really sucks cuz I’ve been hyped to play the game but I can’t even join the lobby

  • wattson_bobby Bobby Wattson (@wattson_bobby) reported

    @BlizzardCS Any way to get around the BC-153 error for Overwatch 2 on Xbox? I’ve yet to get in to the game.

  • xjudyxoxo 💪💙Senseiii_ (Sammi)💙💪 (@xjudyxoxo) reported

  • closetweeb115 melkit (@closetweeb115) reported

  • heyIey Titney Spheres (@heyIey) reported

    the 2 in overwatch 2 stands for how many ddos attacks there must be before we can play it

  • HouseOfSpice Alicia (@HouseOfSpice) reported

    The overwatch queues are so broken lmao

  • AllFatherOW big bird plagues my nightmares (@AllFatherOW) reported

    @theMoneyFolder I think they’ve been working on this game since after the lawsuits. They prolly worked on it here and there before but i dont think they started til recently. There was a pandemic, management issues, and the lawsuits. I was mainly excited for overwatch 2 because it means the game

  • poppypunky Poppy (@poppypunky) reported

    Blizzard really fumbled the overwatch 2 release. It’s kind of embarrassing the amount of issues they had at launch and the support and main account has gone dark @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS

  • Bucciallato ً (@Bucciallato) reported

    24 hours later and people still can't even login Overwatch 2 Might be the worst launch of an online game ever bruh

  • gui_sciarretta Guilherme Sciarretta (@gui_sciarretta) reported

  • AikaKitsuneYT Aika Kitsune 🦊🏳️‍⚧️『ReDebut: TBA』 (@AikaKitsuneYT) reported

    @IcyCaress Overwatch 1 launch was pretty rocky too. Plus they are still recovering from a Ddos attack and such. Cut them a little slack

  • IcyCaress IcyCaress (@IcyCaress) reported

    Get kicked from overwatch for login error, spend two hours logging back in, finally get back in, load into match, they've locked every ******* character randomly, get told the only way to fix it is to relog... Overwatch 2 is dogshit

  • HoneyDuck95 HoneyDuck (@HoneyDuck95) reported

  • VikW988 Viktor (@VikW988) reported

    Who's your new Overwatch 2 main, Player Que or Error Message?

  • SC21012022 S C (@SC21012022) reported

    @Kephrii Perfectly fine for me, and have had no issues with it, most likely due to server lag and tickrate suffering, players were flashing across my screen earlier, a classic symptom of low tickrate servers, overwatch 2 should have been 100 tickrate servers not this 62.5 ****
