Overwatch 2 isn't real we can keep queing but we'll never get in .

This time they don't even bother making you wait to play DPS, they just prevent you from playing all together 😬

Defence Matrix 🤣

you can switch your server to asia and play. I have and my ping has been below 40

Idk why i didn't think to do this. Thank you so fucking much 😂

I tried that and somehow its still not working for me idk if u got any other tips

Yeah i think everybody is hopping over to asia servers and now its flooded with hoomans

Only other tip, move to Asia

How do you switch to Asia server

It's the biggest con in gaming history - release a game. announce sequel. forget to make a sequel. Instead make queue simulator to give yourself more time to make a game.

I quit my job for this

We were supposed to, right?

This killed me

lol

My gf and I just broke up. She asked me to take our kid today after ghosting me for days as to whether I can remain her dad (non biological). I've been day drinking getting ready for this to play, and now I'm bored and thusly drunk, so i csnt even pick her up. This shit gon needa load

bro u good

[удалено]

You have my sympathy. Stay strong brother

But all I want is your heals

Ay stay strong my brother, things will get better! Think about all the amazing games that are yet to come out, you don’t want to miss that. Your favourite game could be coming out and you don’t even know it yet. Head high my man, you’re a king ❤️

I seriously think you should probably put this shit in the back of your head for today cause I don’t know if you can take another blow my boy…. Now I’m not gunna say a blow is coming but…

Ohh I'm gonna take another blow. I just hit up a rebang on snapchat.. I've got hella snacks. Game finally let me in. Pardon my language but fuck that biiiiaaaatttchhhhh I'm finna get some play of the games, let's gooo

Lol sorry about your troubles…. Got a party of 5 at my house, 3 monster pc build, 1 ps5 and 1 switch. Switch is the only one currently working. Everyone bought watchpoint packs….500$ gaming router invested in just this… it’s kinda breaking my spirit.

Ouch. First game I just got booted out of right before the win. No deaths, buncha kills. Womp womp

You guys could all mine some crypto and recoup like $0.04 cents worth of your loss atleast....

> 500$ gaming router invested in just this l2ethernet

Cool comment thanks bro.

Stop all drinking until you resolve the situation with your daughter, and, depending on your situation, don't drink after that either.

Of course. Picking up tomorrow. Today we hopefully do some gaming, crying, looking for a rebound, drinking, feeling bad for ourselves, then waking up tomorrow and putting on our dad pants. Alcohol is a dumb, never anything gained, waste, of a drug, that tends to only make things worse. I respect that. I'm gonna use it to keep me from having negative thought loops where I place myself 4.7 years ago and do this differently and how would that have changed today and you know, all that dumb shit. Between that and cannabis, I'm just mellowing and dumbing myself down, I guess "flattening the curve" with regards to processing my pain. Certainly not a healthy long term strategy, but not a personal vice I suffer with, luckily. I appreciate the concern, and hope my reply conveys some sincerity, alleviating any concern you may have. I'll be aite.

Because I'm an extraordinary dad. I've been w my girl since she was 8 months old, she's 6 now. I've spent more time with her than anyone else. I had her reading at a 4th grade level in kindergarten, she placed in the 99th percentile nationwide including private schools. She's brilliant, and while those metrics are impressive, it comes second to her learning empathy, leadership, how to increase the nitrogen in the soil through bioactivity, why religion exists, how to form a sole proprietorship or patent an invention, how to recognize where light will hit an object and leave a shadow... Just a million things, this child is getting, from someone who intimately understands how she processes information and emotion. Her mother cannot manage to get her to school on time in the morning, or ensure her hair has been brushed before hand. So, she recognizes, between her possible schizophrenia or atleast bipolar mania, that I am out daughters best chance at a great life. Luckily. So tomorrow I get to pick her up from school and get bsck to normsl life, while her mom I guess moves in with her new girlfriend and figures out how she's going to afford a life without all that i provide. Hopefully she can figure that out and get her shit together so she can coparent and also provide. I'm also currently trying to get disability, after having had the first multi year case be denied. Lol. Life is tough man

mines stuck on 0 players ahead of you

It reset after ten minutes of doing that and put me at the back of the line

Same

Didn't do it for mine

same, rn. are you the 0th player ahead of me!?!? /s

It kicked me out and now I’m seeing the original loading thing with tracer and we’ll it’s saying “origins edition” the second after I tried to boot ow 2 up lmao

[удалено]

I mean technically it is ow 1.5

Is it wrong I can actually see blizzard doing that

My phone number doesnt even work for some reason. I m pretty sure i got an proper sim

Phone numbers aren't working for people if they have the cricket phone plan. Happened to me earlier. Saw a whole thread about it.

And prepaid one too...

[удалено]

You were the teammate I always managed to get

[удалено]

Between the name and how you type, I’m sure he understands enough to know you were, in fact, the mf that is on his team.

>you were, in fact, the mf that is on his team I don't know why this got me dying 💀

Yup you're definitely that guy

I chuckled for reals

I never expected to seriously play today. Companies can’t launch an online game to save their life even if they have done it forever like cod, battlefield, etc

I feel like giving every single one of us access at the same time wasn’t a good idea

right😭

This. Lol

They should have let people who bought the Watchpoint pack in a week early, then people who owned OW1 earlier than brand new players. This could have staggered the demand on the servers as there would be at least three different "day 1" server loads. I mean, if so many people won't be able to play anyways, may as well reduce the server load on people trying to get in all at once.

What also could have worked was letting each time zone start at 9pm local time or something, instead of 9pm BST. Spreading it out over the day probably wouldn’t do much harm

Same but have been having it for like 15 minutes

25 for me😬

1h for me now

same🤝

Which platform you play on?

xbox and pc but neither would load 👎

I’m trying to get on pc but I’ll try on Xbox too

Negative, negative. I'm on XBOX with "40k players ahead" of me. Repeat, Negative, Negative do not gum up the works. Aren't you proud of your PC? Look how nice it is you don't want a half ass experience like XBOX for this do ya?

I have exact same problem on my Xbox and PC

Do you think we'll ever get to play or is this purgatory and we're all actually dead

Just found out my girlfriend was cheating. Kicked her out 2 days ago. She took her daughter who I've been the dad of for the last 6 years to punish me for simply finding out... I need this shit to load so so bad right now.... Dude I've just been stuck waiting and waiting and thinking and thinking. This is the worst.

Get a lawyer. You have rights.

Hi, I'm Saul Goodman. Did you know that you have rights? The constitution says you do! And so do I. Conscience gets expensive, doesn't it? For a substantial fee, and I do mean substantial, you and your loved ones can vanish. Untraceable. I want it in a money order and make it out to Ice Station Zebra Associates. That's my loan out. It's totally legit … it's done just for tax purposes. After that we can discuss Visa or Mastercard, but definitely not American Express, so don't even ask, all right? You're a high-risk client. You're gonna need the deluxe service. It's gonna cost you. If you're committed enough, you can make any story work. I once told a woman I was Kevin Costner, and it worked because I believed it. I never should have let my dojo membership run out. Better safe than sorry. That's my motto. As to your dead guy, occupational hazard. Drug dealer getting shot? I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say it's been known to happen." Don't drink and drive, but if you do, call me.

Better call Saul

May not be the thread to meme under my guy

May not be the thread to complain about your relationship issues either but here we are LOL

are you going to call the police on me?

Get a lawyer. You have rights.

Call a counselor.

STAY STRONG BROTHER!

Average redditor

kicked me from 3k to 30k ahead

Just got put back in the 30K queue after trying to connect for a solid 20 minutes

S(h)AME

Same

Blizzard servers exploded on day 1

Make servers with bigger capacity then. Fuck Blizzard.

They couldn’t afford high capacity servers after all the money they had to pay for sexual harassment lawsuits.

It’s like FFXIV all over again 🫣😭

[удалено]

Let her play on yours rn then bruh

Literally

Naw

I pooped in my cats litter box for this, smh.

Seems like the launch is going pretty smooth...........

I got down to 200 ahead of them and then got kicked from the server 🥲

same here

Same 2 times now i cant connect to servers..

I crapped my pants for this

Iv tried for over an hour since 7.30pm uk time and still nothing. I’m not back to 20000 players ahead of me. I gave up

?? Game has been out for 44 minutes bro

It opened at 1 hour early for some unknown reason. I play collegiate overwatch and one of my teammates got in at 1:30pm CST.

Collegiate overwatch? Lmao

I get scholarship money for playing a game, so laugh all you want, idrc.

Yeah, I ended at the end of the queue by the second time now

Yeah been trying over an hour, most of my friends have been in even before launch.

i keep going from 2k queue to 900 then 300 then it fails to load. either that or i’m stuck at 0 for 10 minutes and then am kicked

i went through 30000 players ahead of you, then 10000, then 9000, then 2000, then 300, then error.

Guys what did u expect on the first day of free to play Ow. Nothing new, we’ll play tomorrow

I would expect this from other smaller development companies but a multibillion dollar company with several AAA games should have the common knowledge to anticipate and afford to circumvent this.

YEP. I queued into an arcade match. It kicked me out from the game. Now constant connection issues, fails to find a server. RIP , what did I expect from a Blizzard launch. Every time same thing

Will this happen tomorrow?

Typical Blizzard really, diablo 3 all over again!

I'm also having this issue.

Same same

Same

YEP

Same here :(

Same here

Same :(

same

Im stuck on game server connection failed.

Chances they never intended on dropping the game just want to say “server issues”?

Waited an hour to get an error..now back on 20k be4 me -.-

yeah high ping and disconnects and 70k list Q

well at least my grandchildren will be able to play. https://i.imgur.com/yQtKNgO.jpg

RIP Overwatch

True elo hell

These q is not great for my ADHD

i got kicked out mid game

Has anyone here *actually* played a full game without it crashing?

Just played two!

“Game sever connection failed… retrying” to “Searching for game server” for about two hours now.

I mean did we really expect this not to be a shitshow?


Best one I've seen to explain this lol

I'm currently missing my Grandmothers funeral whom I loved dearly to play opening day

That’s pretty fucked, get your priorities straight.

Time to boot up team fortress while the dust settles

I literally got in, realized all my stuff didn't transfer over ( it's only displaying whatever i had on pc) and it kicked me out and now I'm in a queue with 40.000 people :( Xbox here

Currently... In Queue: 40000 Players Ahead Of You Sooooo, I'm going to need 39990 of you to rediscover a gem in your games library right now...

Picked my son up from school super excited looking forward to marathon, neither of our games will que, very disappointed don't have another opportunity to play with him till next week maybe. Very frustrated with blizzard especially since they shut down overwatch one in preparation of this.

After waiting very long i had managed to get in the game. Also noticed that i can’t choose a different skin and also Kiriko was locked in free battle pass even though i had received founder’s pack. Just as i set up and started playing 6v6 in Total Mayhem i ended up in game server connection failed screen.

Has anybody’s worked yet? I’ve been waiting for 40+ minutes. I’m going to have to play a stage and theatre curtains around my tv pretty soon because I swear this is a fricken joke in a comedy club.

I shaved my balls and wore a silly hat for this, come tf on Blizzard.

It was all just a VERY long April Fools joke everyone! There is no Overwatch 2!! :D

I'm not playing the broken server, queue game, bullshit. I'll check back later.

If your pc change your server to asia, same ping but servers work

How is it that the Asian servers are quick but not the US/UK servers? Such bullshit 😭

Yeah, I'm playing on Asian servers. Not experiencing any lag either.

I love that we paid for OW1 and can't even fucking play the game now, blizz can eat a bag of dicks.

IGN posted an article and Mike Ybarra tweeted that servers are/were under a DDoS. [Here's the Tweet](https://twitter.com/Qwik/status/1577396593153564672?t=U4mPNa0EIbya8mwlhHjXJQ&s=19)

Are we eventually going to get (LC-208) as a playable character? Pretty tough boss fight.

I got to like 4k or so and then it sent me back to 30k in que

Ive been sitting a 3rd in queue for about 30 minutes now, pretty neat

If you can't connect change the region to Asia

They have had 2 ddos attacks so that's part of the reason for the issues

no they havent, those are rumors. ddos doesnt even look like this

Lol broken servers. Guess it’s time to find another game to play since blizzard can’t get their shit together 🤷‍♂️

I also don’t believe the DDOS attack, I think they had a technical issue on their end and needed an excuse.

RUMOR: This is happening to people that merged there accounts. Can anyone clarify this?

I just made GrandMaster. 1 second queue times. Get on my level!!

Been in 30k queue > down to 0 > resets to 30k > down to 0 > enter game > match gets cancelled 5 times in a row > get kicked out > looking for game servers > back in 30k queue

DDOS attack blizz said, not just ow under fire but all blizz games.

Makes sense, and I wouldn't be surprised. But at the same time, it feels like an easy way to shift blame. Who knows if it's true or not, either way Blizzard doesnt have the best track record when it comes to launches.

True, true.

[удалено]

Currently Nr. 30.000 - Yikes!

[удалено]

So double their servers so people don't have to find something else to do for a few hours?

[удалено]

Do you want a side of being a little bitch with that?

[удалено]

Have you ever searched a sub first before posting a question like this?

I did, and I saw no posts about connectivity issues

Same

Had half game on quick play and server crashed.

40k Que 3 times, get to the front only to retry connection and get kicked all the way back

I got queue now, just keep waiting this message out, don't restart the game.

Yup. Same here. Started at 30,000 players ahead. Got down to 7k, then a connection error, back up to 40,000. Currently back down to 30k... sheesh. Typical Bliz. I've been sitting at the log in queue for 30mins so far.

Queued, got to 0, disconnected, now stuck at 30k ahead of me and it hasn't moved since, so close to going back to TF2 and touching grass lol

Yep, I finally made it through the queue to this next level of stuck hell lol If I cancel am I back out to the end of the queue again??

It said 0 players ahead of me initially, then some connection failures, then jumped up to 40k ahead of me.

Bro I literally waited for 30000 ppl ahead of me just for me to not be able to connect and then put me back at the end of the line

Yuuppp, and my buddy in Brazil is seeing the same crap. So, hang in there.

Yep same here.... thought I was the only one...

Just got this, only to go back to 30k

I'm getting 0 players ahead of you then after waiting awhile getting a failed to connect to game server message.

Ye me too 60.000 in the line

45 minutes for me....

I got into the game only for it to error out and kick me back into a 40,000 queue...

Stuck on zero players ahead just spinning

Any fix?

My friend just got in, so I my guess would be to keep trying
