New character announcement:

 

[SteelCurtain 59]

I being completely honest when I ask this: are any of you actually excited for it? No one I know has any interest in it, most didn't know it was coming at all. Am I just overlooking where the interest is or has Overwatch fallen off the radar that much?

I'm definitely excited for it. I kind of fell off of the original but me and my group of friends are using the release of 2 as a way to get back into the game.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

When can we download on psn?

Should be up in about 2 hours of this post

 

[CuteFaceJay]

Can't wait for the porn that'll come out of this..

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Can update OW1 now

 

[A.D. Skinner]

I have to say, that download was a rollercoaster. Max speed until about 50%, tanked, then 0...half speed, 0, sudden max burst to finish

Wouldn't want to be anyone trying to download it much closer and after it starts. Those speeds will be DEAD

 

[jorgejjvr]

Can update OW1 now

It's updating for me, but the ps4 version, how do I turn it into the ps5 version?

No idea honestly

 

[3liteDragon]

Wait there's no PS5 version? Wtf, they just changed the first one's store page instead of adding a new one.

Yeah, I don't get it, where's my ps5 version

 

[3liteDragon]

Yeah, I don't get it, where's my ps5 version

Mine just started updating, maybe it'll change to PS5 after it's done idk. I'll let you know when it's done, HeisenbergFX4 could you also let me know if it changes to a native PS5 version once it's done updating?

I already had OW1 installed before today's launch.

I see a lot of people saying the PS5 version isn't live so maybe there will be another update coming?

I am updating the Xbox version atm

I don't own a disc of the Xbox version, but since it's now free to play, is it on the the Ms store for anyone to get it now for free? I only see the 39.99 version

 

[jorgejjvr]

Also I'm getting the below when trying to add my phone. Servers down?

502 Bad Gateway​

I dont the free version on the store yet either

I see some saying the free version will be on stores at 3 EST in a little over 2 hours when the game launches

Not sure on its update progress I am outside soaking up some sun before this launches

Might get put on the store at refresh time, cause PS doesn't do smart delivery like xbox.

I deleted my ps4 version last night so hoping it goes on the store soon tbh.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Preloaded on Battlenet and waiting for 8pm UK time to roll around. Looking forward to this!

i'm excited to play and have it preloaded but probably won't play it until tomorrow.

the liverpool vs rangers game kicks off at 8pm so i'm watching that (hope liverpool get fucked). plus the OW2 servers will be getting hammered so it's best to wait a few hours. i'll see how i feel around 10-11pm and maybe give it a shot.

From Reddit.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

I am logged in now somehow, looking at Battlepass page now

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Genji skin is pretty cool in Battlepass

 

[Strider Highwind]

Games launching on PC for me

Edit: You get put in a queue lo

 

[Sp3eD]

Xbox version stand-alone has been up since 11 am pst. Downloading slow but it’s up. Replaced the watchpoint pack in the store for me

 

[jorgejjvr]

I can't add my phone, I guess battle.net is down?

 

[Mitsurux]

Are you able to add your phone number when you launch the game?
What game modes are available?

 

[Strider Highwind]

i'm playing

 

[FearlessBelgian]

What a big miss to not releasing this on Steam... Fuck blizzard launcher...

 

[Sp3eD]

I am stuck in queue but I am not even mad. I knew this was going to happen.

 

[Elder Legend]

I am stuck in queue but I am not even mad. I knew this was going to happen.

I managed to get past queue earlier, got into a quick play match. Round was about to be finished and then the server dropped and got put into queue again :/ lol.

 

[ChoosableOne]

It asks for my phone number, fck you Blizzard.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

It asks for my phone number, fck you Blizzard.

It's optional

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

30k players ahead of me. Y'all gotta log out so I can play please.

 

[Strider Highwind]

it's good for me. About 10 matches in, running great

herd the queue is piling bad

 

[rubenburgt]

Years in development and this is what they deliver?

 

[Gudji]

Yep that's a blizzard game launch alright.

 

[Fuz]

It's optional

Is it?

 

[Mitsurux]

It's optional

Is this true? Did something change?

 

[Flintty]

I’m getting OLED Paranoia Anxiety with this fucking queue.

 

[mr stroke]

It's optional

uh?

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

It asks for my phone number, fck you Blizzard.

It's optional

I didn't ask for mine but I also have one of those Blizzard Authenticator fobs on my account since they first came out maybe 12-14 years ago

Side note waiting for it to die any day because they said the non replaceable battery was only good 5-7 years but taking long breaks from WOW I guess has greatly extended its life

 

[ChoosableOne]

It's optional

"Add a phone number","I already added a phone number"

 

[jaysius]

What a trash launch, Blizzard has nearly unlimited resources to make a launch this big happen and we get huge queues right now.

If they kep OW 1 alive at least we'd be able to play that while they figure their shit out.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Blizzard? Server issues?

Maybe Microsoft buying them can finally put their server infrastructure on Azure so they can join the rest of 2010s.

 

[FUBARx89]

Ahhh yes. Server queues. As a Destiny player I'm used to these

These servers

I gave up for now

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

If you are on PC on NA and have a long queue change severs
