  • kirinites Divinity (@kirinites) reported

    @witheredwails @BlizzardCS The server isn't registering your toon as having logged out. If you log in to another character (gl) and then try Ruminative again, you won't get that error. Your name isn't actually gone, thank goodness! Server is just crapping the bed.

  • PhilHoneyBadger Phil the Emotional Support Honey Badger (@PhilHoneyBadger) reported

    @MacalusoJohn @BlizzardCS Could be DDoS, cluster down, ISP issues, or etc. There are several issues that could cause the authentication servers down. Won't know until the post mortem.

  • kaeleirra Sierra (@kaeleirra) reported

    @BlizzardCS please fix your wow servers. I want to play, but ummm I cant

  • casualish casualaf (@casualish) reported

    @BlizzardCS Any updates on the World Server Down? Or is this related?

  • AlecSolometo الك (@AlecSolometo) reported

    @BlizzardCS My custom UI preset has deleted itself after getting world server down error and logging into another character

  • Blilnk18260000 Eric Summins (@Blilnk18260000) reported

    @BlizzardCS 1. I have a character that I can't log in to at all. It crashes out with "World Server Down" and the character has no location listed in the character select screen. 2. I (and seemingly everyone else on my server) can't enter the northern barrens. It teleports us out.

    @MacalusoJohn @BlizzardCS Does "problems" about cover it?

  • cardswallower Bernard Charles (@cardswallower) reported

    @BlizzardCS Might as well revert old balance druids while you’re at it. Why break stuff when they’re not broken?

  • KeyferDelph Keyfer Delph (klaudneintv on twitch) (@KeyferDelph) reported

    @BlizzardCS i keep getting stuck on loading screens trying to enter instances and being kicked out and getting a message that the instance is not found in WoW. I dont know if you guys are aware of this issue but its not just me everyone ive asked about it in game is as well.

  • dadamstowel Granny Weatherwax voted 🐀 (@dadamstowel) reported

    @BlizzardCS Everything is broken. Did Elon buy y’all too? Jeez.

  • MeridythKat Katty (@MeridythKat) reported

    @BlizzardCS It wont, but I hope this fixes the scaling issues we have seen since Tuesday.

  • GalaxyGuild Galaxy (@GalaxyGuild) reported

    RT @BlizzardCS: [#Warcraft] We're currently investigating an issue affecting our authentication servers, which may result in failed or slow login attempts.

  • jessewilkins Jesse Wilkins, CIPP/US, CIPM, IGP, CRM/CIGO, CCP (@jessewilkins) reported

    @BlizzardCS So far my world server issue seems to be on Daggerspine. I'm not having any issues - yet - on Proudmoore.

  • JosephLaurich Joseph Laurich (@JosephLaurich) reported

    @BlizzardCS how long 8pm CST bring the servers down for what emergency.. there 0 info on the launcher it would be nice to know why

  • nature_aus Reality Is Harsh (@nature_aus) reported

    @codethirtyfour @BlizzardCS Not really, if authentication is offline or having issues, the game doesn’t recognise ANYTHING. not you, your location, ect.

  • KingCrazy98 Aaron Seals (@KingCrazy98) reported

    @BlizzardCS As soon as they said “Free weekend” during Phase 2 of the pre-patch, I KNEW there were going to be issues. Too ripe a target for hacker groups to pass up.

  • HeyPnc HeyPNCZelleisbroke (@HeyPnc) reported

    @BlizzardCS @Its_the_ku Doesn't work. Same issue.

  • michaelflatley_ Michael (@michaelflatley_) reported

    @MacalusoJohn @BlizzardCS There are tons of possibilities. Any hardware failures on one of their servers, a local power outage knocking out servers, a random haywire service or issue in a DB tanking performance, etc.

  • JoshuaS10 Josh (@JoshuaS10) reported

    @MacalusoJohn @BlizzardCS In most cases, it's a targeted denial of service attack, or DDOS. A malicious attempt to overload a server's inputs.

  • ianmartyuwu IanMarty (@ianmartyuwu) reported

    @BlizzardCS @WarcraftDevs can you fix the scaling? some bfa raids that were soloable are impossible to do now

  • AshnaHunter Ashna Hunter (@AshnaHunter) reported

    @MerlynsRide @BlizzardCS Yep. I just logged an old character into Feralas with no problems, but then tried to log another into STormwind and that was a big nope.

  • syrasmine Nikki (@syrasmine) reported

    @resetsmith @mglowasky @BlizzardCS Yes and no. There's ways to say it. But it is silly they took over an hour to address it and didn't think when announcing the free weekend alongside a pre-patch for a new expansion might cause issues. People are allowed to be frustrated especially when they pay for a service.

  • MacalusoJohn Macaluso (@MacalusoJohn) reported

    @BlizzardCS a lot of funny business going in. First, I kept getting “world server down” when trying to log in to farm sha of anger. Then “instance not found” when hearthing/ taking portals. Is anything gonna happen to fix this

  • yeskapdiaz Emmanuel Diaz (@yeskapdiaz) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent @BlizzardCS fix the servers, pleas So it almost always takes me out halfway through the game and never let it go back. 😴

  • berylbraides 🔸Berylbraides🔸 (@berylbraides) reported

    @BlizzardCS I lost all my saved UI settings after crash. Hoping those will be restored?

  • Rain87323333 Rain (@Rain87323333) reported

    @BlizzardCS The time I decide to get back into wow and it’s having so many issues. This makes the third day!

  • MacalusoJohn Macaluso (@MacalusoJohn) reported

    @BlizzardCS I’m genuinely not trying to sound rude or mean, I’m just curious. How/why does this happen? Something more specific than just “issues”

  • TolkienChris Dooper (@TolkienChris) reported

    @BlizzardCS Fix the scaling issues with the invasions!!

  • DarkstaAU Jacob Lincoln (@DarkstaAU) reported

    @BlizzardCS she's still broken lads
