Australian Overwatch 2 Players Express Frustration with Blizzard's Server Issues
Australian Overwatch 2 players are expressing their frustration with Blizzard over the ongoing server issues in the OCE region, with many taking to social media to voice their complaints about the lack of playable servers in Australia specifically. The server problems have caused significant lag and connection issues, making it difficult for players to enjoy the game – especially as the Overwatch 2 World Cup qualifiers are taking place right now.
Some players have even reported being disconnected from matches entirely, leading to penalties and a loss of progress as a result. The OCE community feels neglected by Blizzard, as the server issues have persisted for an extended period of time, and have even gotten worse over time.
“I’m not even exaggerating when I say I’ve sat on the ‘finding match’ screen for ten minutes at a time,” one player says. “I’ve been disconnected from matches, I’ve had to forfeit because of this, I’ve been penalised and lost rank.”
“I’ve been disconnected from every single match for the past three hours, and I’m not exaggerating,” another player says. “I’ve lost roughly a hundred and fifty SR from this. Not to mention the countless hours of waiting.”
“I have never seen Blizzard so passive about the server problems,” another player says. “I’m usually able to play a game or two after a server restart but it’s been over three hours and I’ve been forced to watch Twitch to pass the time.”
“The lack of playable servers in Australia is insane,” another player says. “There’s no competition for the casual players and no tournaments can be run in the Oceania region. It’s a mess.”
The frustration among Australian Overwatch 2 players has reached a boiling point, with many feeling let down by Blizzard’s handling of the situation. The community is calling for better communication from Blizzard regarding the server issues and a plan to resolve them.
“I’m honestly so disappointed in the lack of support for the OCE region, considering how popular Overwatch is here,” another player says. “I know there are a lot of players who truly enjoy the game and have been trying to climb the ranks, myself included.”
Australian Overwatch 2 players are hopeful that Blizzard will take their concerns seriously and work towards improving the server situation. The complaints from the OCE community highlight the importance of having stable and accessible servers for a smooth gaming experience.
