Yes, some actual humanityis better than six hours of complete silence and then a boilerplate corporate response that is also pretending things are mostly ok.
“Nothing new to report, sorry guys, this sucks” is literally 100,000,000 times better than silence and “We’ll give updates when we can btw no updates still glad everybody’s having a great time”
This isn’t the experience we wanted some folks to have today, and yes, this sucks…and we’re working on it
I love watchhing the queue go down to just get a login error, so awesome…
But yea people are missing items, who cares i literally cant play the game
Okay? So how much longer will we all have to wait? It has been 6 hours. Give us LEGIT information.
I thought I was getting close because the queue started counting down by single digits (which was different from simply large jumps).
But unfortunately, I think the server times out from taking too long, and it starts the process all over again. I don’t even get error logs anymore, just a failure to connect, try again later.
No ETA to currently share. We’ll share more info as we’re able to, and I’ll be here until then.
Ive gotten in but haven’t been able to get the premium battle pass to play kiriko. I owned ow1 but I don’t see any place to purchase it at all. is it because my console account merge isn’t going through? it says some features are locked until it’s done. also says it will take less than a minute but it’s been quite a while longer than that 
edit: yes I know you have to quit the game for the merge to happen. I quit, waited 10 minutes, got in again, merge still pending. now I’m sitting in queue for my 3rd login
edit2: just got in for the 3rd time, account merge still in queue. oh well guess I’ll have to wait for kiriko
I still can’t get in either. When I sent a ticket I was told that at no point in the foreseeable future will I be able to get in game.
Will correcting the problem with logging in on accounts that have cross progression take longer than expected?
It’s currently the only issue I’m having logging in.
Ive been trying to get in since 2:40pm and now its 7 hours later and I haven’t seen the menu once. Should I requeue? My place in line keeps jumping from 10k to 7k back to 10k then back down to 7k then up to 30k. I got to the “searching for server” screen about 30 times where it ping ponged back and forth between “searching” to “cannot find - retrying” then thrown back into a numbered queue. Its pretty frustrating.
Will Blizzard compensate their fan base for this horrible experience?
This is what i wanna know
We love this game,that’s why we are still here,and keep trying,ow was the best,ow2 need to be the best too.
That’s…not really cool man.
Can we get some info on what the cause of the issue is? Hard to buy DDOS when I’ve been trying to log in or 6 hours but my buddy hopped in on his 2nd try.
And what about daily challenges? Any plan for loss of progress there in the new model?
experiencing the same issue. can’t even do the whole “switch server region” stuff cuz i’m on console. immensely frustrating
This would’ve gone a long way hours and hours ago, and I won’t pretend it’s not frustrating as all hell that it took over 6 hours for a somebody to actually acknowledge this is a sh*t show, but I appreciate somebody actually doing it.
Just a little direct and candid understanding, much better than 6 hours of sitting here pressing X every 5 minutes trying to play.
“We have no ETA” is also information we could’ve used hours ago instead of trying over and over all day just in case, but at this point, it’s not a solvable problem without a time machine, I guess. Being told “There is no ETA right now” is a relief, not a burden, and it is information. I’ve been in “waiting mode” all day, I wasted the whole day ::
Still stuck on the launcher saying “Overwatch will be back October 4, 2022 PT” and can’t even launch the game 
Not really sure why that is or how servers being horrible would affect that.
Man this sucks because I was so excited to play today and here I am 7 hours later still in queue. I know theyre trying their best, but this just sucks.
Just swap region, friend. I’ve been playing Asia and EU with no issues, and the latency isn’t horrible.
Im in a discord call with 15 people and only 2 of us have been able to get in. Switching to Asia didnt even help for those that tried.
