i wouldn’t even dare to volunteer for trying to defend blizzard as a company in any way, shape, or form. you’d have to offer me millions of dollars just to do it for a day. this company is so awful that having to try and actually paint them in a positive light controversy over controversy would have me ripping my own teeth out just so i could feel a less painful sensation than having to defend blizzard entertainment.

My accounts were merged…i saw a locked symbol and kiriko and assumed that meant i couldnt play her…so i bought the premium pass…little did i know that locked symbol just meant you cant play her in competitive and i already owned her lol great communication on blizzards part!

When will be the merge problem fixed? Besides the DDos attack, the merge problem is a huge problem for many players.

Yeah that’s basically my experience down to a T.
I GOT IN!
For long enough to confirm that I also didn’t get my watchpoint stuff or the Battle Pass…then it kicked me out again.

Same, I got in for like 10 seconds, didn’t have my Watchpoint stuff, but had all my skins at least. I bought Kiriko’s Golden Knives/Ofuda… tried to enter the training range and then got kicked.
Got in again and now all my heroes are locked, this is such a mess haha

Hi folks,
No additional updates to share tonight (it is 12:18 AM as of this post). The community team will keep checking in on things in the forum first thing in the morning, and we’ll update you as we’re able.
For those still waiting, thank you

Almost 6:30pm here and I’ve been trying to get into the game since 7am, so over 11 hours for me at this point.
Does this mean that the devs have called it for the day, or are they still working on the issue? Some of us would still like to be able to play the game today if possible, especially considering I took the day off work to play Overwatch 2. I could’ve worked a full day and would’ve only been waiting 3 hours thus far if I had.
I know games can have day 1 launch issues but 11 hours? This is ridiculous. It’s beyond a joke at this point.
And it’s not like we can even go back and play Overwatch while we wait for the technical issues and bugs to be resolved, either!
There better be a real good compensation pack on offer for your players after this complete and utter debacle.

Persistent failures in the form of LO-208 error
I’d appreciate it if blizzard would either let me into the game they are forcing as a substitute to OW1 or, as an alternative, return overwatch to its clearly more stable predecessor

Unlikely to happen imo. Acti-blizz are more than likely going to hand us a paltry copper or two’s worth of currency, point fingers and sweep this under the rug. They are in real danger of losing all credibility.

They already lost all their credibility with letting Overwatch die, the lawsuit business, the debacle that was World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, and the despicable predatory nature of Diablo: Immortal.
Overwatch 2 was meant to be the start of their redemption arc. In that regard, they’ve failed miserably by still not having the login issues resolved in the over 12 hours it’s been since launch.

Okay. Thank you for the clarification.
Still not happy about having wasted an entire day off work waiting to be able to get into the game and am certainly hoping that there will be some form of compensation offered to your players for this massive inconvenience.

I could get in (xbox) at 6 am (Germany) in the morning, 
when I woke up early. Sadly I had to leave 4 work after a few practice matches.
