  • OlympianFTW Chanse Davis (@OlympianFTW) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I should've known from the current issues, but be careful buying Overwatch points as of now as I just bought some, the Server kicked me and now that I got back in I don't have them

  • SeraphielLux Seraph (@SeraphielLux) reported

    @AmethystMay_YT I think that overwatch is just suffering connection issues atm. Its got the same gameplay mechanics that made the first one good so I can’t really say it failed. Personally speaking ofcourse.

  • ghostramm_ch Ghost Host Ghost Ramm Ch. (@ghostramm_ch) reported

    GTA 6 will be out by the time Overwatch 2 fix their servers

  • JasnoCreed Jason (@JasnoCreed) reported

    @GLYTCHEnergy The Overwatch “Rendering Device Lost” error is likely occurring due to overclocked GPU, CPU, or other hardware components. If that is the case, you should try setting your components' frequency or clock speed settings back to their defaults and then start Overwatch again to see i

  • RaheemRamez Raheem ラヒーム (@RaheemRamez) reported

    I don’t even like or intend to play Overwatch but having a phone has been standard since like 1940. If you’re so poor that you can’t afford a phone you clearly have bigger issues than worrying about Overwatch and should probably save your money for food or something

  • Will_Is_Harvey Harvey Birdman (@Will_Is_Harvey) reported

    I don't even like overwatch. Never played. But I'm about to play overwatch 2 just to spite the poors who can't afford phone service

  • Hanaeartist Hanae 🌸 (@Hanaeartist) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch ALL of my stats and cosmetics from the first Overwatch are gone despite claiming they would carry over, it’s like a completely new account. Not to mention the server issues 💀 #Overwatch2 #blizzardservers #BlizzardEntertainment

  • SenseOrdinary Ordinary Sense (@SenseOrdinary) reported

    @TrueGameData @ModernWarzone the problem is.. everyone left overwatch 1. I grinded it for a while and will probably play a bit of OW2... but only because its free. i would not buy it. I would have bought warzone though, or even fortnight back at the start. OW2 hasn't sold me on anything. Wish it Luck though

  • all_just_words Δℓℓ jµ$† ωΘЯÐ$ ✊🏿 (@all_just_words) reported

    @Polarian_ @PlayOverwatch We get a patch next week and hopefully that will fix our issues. According to Your Overwatch on YouTube.

  • gelisor Gelisor ✨ (@gelisor) reported

    I tried Overwatch 2, give me the OG back. Blizzard needed to fix a few parts, said **** it and bought a new truck instead. Toxicity is out of control, still hearing vile things over hero picks in quickplay, no thanks. There are better games out there now. #OW2 #Vtuber

  • Nashfyrel Fyrel (@Nashfyrel) reported

    @DigiFoxMira You mean : Overwatch 2, faking being DDOS. Didn't prepared migration while it's just an update. Can't even list people with OW1 so they have to unlock heroes. Now a F2P monetisation while removing the free lootboxes from OW1, aka removing content for old players?

  • Jennipurlea Jennifer (@Jennipurlea) reported

    @vusketeer @PlayOverwatch I’m having the same issue, I merged my pc and PlayStation accounts, haven’t been able to access overwatch 2 at all

  • tenkuken2 Masakit (@tenkuken2) reported

    @gundamevolution You need to fix this game guys like the monetization and capitol Overwatch is shooting themselves in the foot right now

  • GamingLemon16 GamingLemon (@GamingLemon16) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I would say to people give it a week and the player count will drop dramatically anyway so ques will no longer be a problem, anyway if you played overwatch 1 it’s the same game still so I wouldn’t get your hopes up👍

  • IloLami_xx ilo lami (@IloLami_xx) reported

    My overwatch two take so far: Its overwatch one but both teams had a tank disconnect and they are just chaotically trying to win without much team play. Its new and so i imagine the game over the next months will get more stable in how people play. But right now it’s just that.

  • Seclusionz_ Mr. Fly (@Seclusionz_) reported

    Fix the account merge glitch. I want my characters #Overwatch #Overwatch2 @PlayOverwatch

  • vinofthemist Vinofthemist (@vinofthemist) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent when I finally got logged in my career profile was gone on overwatch 2. Not seeing this in "known issues" (I'm on PlayStation 4). I've been playing since first game release.

    Overwatch 2 will still be there. Let them fix the issues, don't waste your time and energy getting frustrated by waiting in queues. Time is precious. Aren't there any other games to play ? Some you've left on the back-burner ?
