UPDATE: The game director for Overwatch 2 has announced that the game has suffered a second DDoS attack:

is barely more than an update for a perfectly serviceable competitive game, so the free-to-play shift felt like one of the bigger changes was a huge bummer to many fans.Something video games have over their film counterparts when it comes to horror is the player’s agency. Sure, watching the slasher claim their next victim can get a jumpscare out of you, but you know what’s scarier? Knowing you had the power to stop it.

Watching someone slowly open a door and enter a dark room is unnerving, but having to do it yourself will send shivers down your spine and paralyze you with fear.Anyway, I hope you can at least get your place in line back once Blizzard gets the servers back under control.The game director of Overwatch 2 says that the game has now suffered a second DDoS attack. There is still no word on when the servers will be back to normal functionality.

Bruhhh

No shit, so that is why you ask phone number?

'games as a service'

DDoS 2, same as the first one

not sure why but ok, havent played ow in years and seen that ow 2 is a thing and i have no idea why people are mad or upset about a slightly better game with crossplay and transfered account item. seems about silly really.

oh no! anyway...

People aren't happy about the greedy monetization it seems😂

Wtf still trying to Ddos mf’s?

Seeing as youre the source you are, this is likely old news. BUT i can still laugh and hope the game dies fast

Solo ult'ed

I'll just play OW1 in the meantime...oh wait..

Has any group claimed these attacks?

If only they bring back Papa Jef back

Sure it is.

A second ddos has crashed into the overwatch headquarters

Womp womp DrGorso

Get rid of the SMS verification

Anybody who was trashing on overwatch 1 needs to hop off and let us real fans play

It's gamers... They wanna play

Literally no one believes this shit, they need to stop lying lmao It's not so hard to admit the servers are too bad to handle the influx of players

If you believe this is a DDoS I have a bridge in New York to sell you. Blizzard_Ent wasn’t prepared for this launch. They’re waiting for casuals to lose interest. There’s nothing to fix. They don’t have the servers to facilitate the traffic. Period.

Do avoid this disruption just uninstall the game.

Junker queen hates Pokémon

How about they fix the piss poor monetization system. Extremely greedy.

Bullshit lmao

But wait theres more!

its called people trying to log in

I'll wait for Overwatch 3

It’ll get fixed so everyone should stop complaining about it right now

I mean.. Blizzard as a company DOES suck. So I guess this is karma for the company’s actions? ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

Damn haven’t had this much fun since the first season of overwatch 1. Hope the servers come back soon

Ha now I know it’s bull shit they just didn’t prepare and blamed it on a ddos attack like every bad launch they have

Since when did joining a queue to play a game become a thing ..... ?

It's probably cause they encrypted the character models so people couldn't make porn of them. Someone probably got mad and chose this as a protest.

So what about the missing skins and characters for the ow1 owners?

jinxiiex SomeArachnid well I guess I know what I’m not downloading just yet lol

Guess theres gunna be more until the sms BS is gone

Didn’t even know it was coming out 🤷‍♂️

Perfect. This is well deserved. Punks should have kept ow1 as it is and then should have released this trash

Probably security mechanism that acts because it thinks all these users trying to log in is a DDos attack

Keep it coming

Bruh there’s a queue to get in another queue lmaoo. Had 50 players ahead, then it sent me into a queue of 30k folks ahead. This ain’t no damn DDOS attack. This is just Blizzard being unprepared for server overload. Same happened with Lost Ark’s release and it wasn’t a DDOS.

And the game kicks me offline as soon as I get an Xbox achievement.

I can't imagine why anyone would attack such a good game.....

Streamers seem fine eh

No shit

About 10 hours late on this post

They got what Blizzard deserves

Ha

that's BS, they went F2P they knew more people was going to play it. Their servers capacity is not enough nor ready for the F2P model. Meanwhile their battle pass premium pay system is more than ready. just a matter of priority that Blizzard made

Amatterus

They were just unprepared

Haters.

this so sad LMAO

'Sir.... a second DDoS attack has hit the OW2 servers...'

i guess raid: shadow legends it is
