Adam Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I finally was able to get in the game, but it started from scratch and none of my stuff got carried over from the first game. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJohny Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Did you link your account to battlenet before the switch ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floorkiller74 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I've seen many, many reports of this. Linking yout account doesn't seem to make a difference...it's all gone. hopefully they get their heads out of their asses and get everyones stuff back to them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shxrpay Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Yeah, happened to me too. My account was already linked to battle.net long before the switch so I'm pretty sure that made no difference, unless there was another link I'm unaware of.

Popular Post Skurkitty Posted October 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2022 This is why I never played OW on console. I played close to 1000hrs on PC and couldn't transfer any of my progress to console. Blizzard fucked up massively with cross progression, and cross game progression now it seems. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightDragon Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 You sure it's not related to the DDOS? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeesTrophies Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 My stuff from OW1 on PS4 and my PC account was there then I got an error that my account was in queue for merging and all my stuff disappeared. I think its just an error right now and everything will be there once they sort things out. I wouldn't worry too much at the moment until something is confirmed, but like I said I did see my stuff when I initially got in game. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaaneS97 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I mainly played in 2016/17 so I don't really remember much, but did we play with our battlenet account back then? Because I just started the game rn on PS4 and I'm at zero as well, all the career stats are gone. After doing the mobile authentication thing I apparently logged into a battlenet account I had before lol.. How the hell am I supposed to recover my profile? Did some of you actually keep your stuff? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to move to PC but it seems like I won't be able to do so unless cross-progression is properly implemented, otherwise, I will have to do everything on my loud, annoying, overheating PS4, at least if there was cross-progression I could earn an achievement, then swap to PS4 and auto-pop that specific trophy but nope.

Kill-MC-Mildred Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) All my stuff is there. Think my stats are a bit off but could be due to issues. Few days and I think it'll be sorted considering I couldn't get on yesterday Edited October 5, 2022 by Kill-MC-Mildred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xIRockyRock Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Started Overwatch 2016 and played through the year, not sure you had to link the game back then. Not sure how it works in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BENJAM1N_LINUS Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) I don't know when I added my PSN account to my battlenet account, but it must have been a long while ago and it certainly wasn't in game in overwatch any time recently (stopped playing back in early 2020), but they are seemingly merged already. The account merge button is unresponsive when attempting to select it. But I have nothing- no stats, no unlocks, characters are locked. Tried booting it up on my old PS4 as well just in case and nada. I realize they put out a thing saying nothing is lost and yada yada, but still it's hard to have faith in them. Not gonna play until my stats and everything else are back. Edited October 6, 2022 by BENJAM1N_LINUS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentSmiz Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Fired up the game just now and it took me to an account merge screen, with the indication that this is how the skins would carry over. Has to properly link the Battle.Net and PS accounts, despite them already being linked in the connections part of the website. Then it shows me being in a queue for the account merge but, at this point, I'm kind of used to queueing in this game. Hopefully, once I'm through that queue, all the old skins should carry over. Half expecting it not to work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSalemCrow Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 They also scammed me and anyone that bought the started pack months ago since I didn't get the currency and battle pass or anything that I paid for already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbaltipie Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I'm in a simialr boat. Might use this as a fresh start and treat it like a new game, levelling up and unlocking characters as I go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oIMyersIo Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Total shambles. I pre-ordered the Watchpoint pack and can’t even play. When I do get in, heroes are locked because my account merge is “in queue”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
