Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Daisymomma3 Greydaisy (@Daisymomma3) reported

    I love WoW. Its been my staple go to game for a long time. I miss playing it. But, I know I can't play it until the heads at top are gone. Ion included and on top of the list. I dont want to be that person, but this game has serious issues they themselves have caused. #Warcraft

  • SimonMMXXI Simon (@SimonMMXXI) reported

    @Warcraft ingame said to go to @BlizzardCSEU_EN for updates about the login failures, but they haven't said anything on their page. any news here?

  • Khime84 Khime84 (@Khime84) reported

    @WarcraftDevs I promise you if you do not fix Hunter I will quit this tier.

  • TheHoovWoW Hoov (@TheHoovWoW) reported

    @George_Benev @ElliottVenczel @WarcraftDevs That makes sense, just have it take you out of form like soulshape, then fix DK getting a big shield

  • leekatv Chris Hopewell (@leekatv) reported

    @Drownlord @WarcraftDevs I think rating requirements are okay, something to shoot for. The issue is the jump in ilvl is too massive. What if it was like 2-3 ilvls per rank? eg 1400 - 250 1600 - 252 1800 - 255 2100 - 260 or something like that.

    @exiiqt @ElliottVenczel @WarcraftDevs If you’re having mana problems stop casting regrowth.

  • TraduNaCl Tradu (@TraduNaCl) reported

    @WarcraftDevs like how do you identify a problem and then instead of actually just fixing it, you do this non-solution? It genuinely seems spiteful at this point.

  • Drownlord Drownlord (@Drownlord) reported

    @leekatv @WarcraftDevs Why not remove it again like in MoP and WoD? It was no problem. Also, if you are good, you dont need an additional advantage with gear. It is not nessecary. Also PvP is not PvE, just in case someone tries to argue like this ;-) . Let Time be the factor, not Rating.

  • TalviOnline Nickie 'Talvi' Harper-Williams 🎤 (@TalviOnline) reported

    Hey guys - you know it's not reset for us today? Why the issue with the login servers? :( @BlizzardCSEU_EN @Warcraft

  • Finalslash1 Sam (@Finalslash1) reported

    @leekatv @WarcraftDevs I mean, a lot of the issues player have with the game are common sense stuff from a game design standpoint. It’s almost like they don’t think “hmm, is this actually a good idea?” or “is this actually fun?” before implementing bad ideas into the game. It goes beyond PvP issues.

  • MilorgWoW MilorgWoW (@MilorgWoW) reported

    @WarcraftDevs Did you randomly nerf the spawnrate of Tormentors of Torgast in the Maw? Or is it broken?

  • RiiCcoOPR RiiCcoO (@RiiCcoOPR) reported

    @DeadByBHVR What do we Want in the shrine *Diversion, *Less lag spikes on consoles because nobody can get ps5, COMP=World of warcraft=no dbd... *booty shorts for my baby Elodie *And the doctor/leatherface wiped from the game When do we want it... YESTERDAY

  • XGrenox Grenox_x (@XGrenox) reported

    @Warcraft Servers Down, TBC Classic? Cant join Razofren EU GER

  • TraduNaCl Tradu (@TraduNaCl) reported

    @WarcraftDevs You're trolling with that Cataloged Research cap change right? 22k just delays the problem, it doesn't fix it.

  • Digitalchaos8 Zacharie c. Kazan (incremental changes) (@Digitalchaos8) reported

    @CHANGECOVENANTS @WarcraftDevs @WatcherDev Either venthyr is OP for certain classes (by miles) or sims are broken.

  • Thanos616 John Whatever (@Thanos616) reported

    @bearkoda446 @Warcraft excuse me, one queston, can you access to wow? I can't to any server... I was wondering if other people have problems too

  • exaverse Exaverse (@exaverse) reported

    @WarcraftDevs Weird perf issue: Toggling world map (non-maximized) halts rendering for ~450 ms each time (no addons). Also seen on 4/5 Twitch streams (retail). While world zone map [M] is rendered, it eats 4 frames/~66 ms. All Bags show instantly. No fps drops while showing.

  • superpowerthing Super (@superpowerthing) reported

    @AdamHolisky @warcraftdevs What's in store for tomorrow? Another day of not working? 9.1 in a nutshell. Reused legendary armor assets. Reused NPC assets. Recolored mounts. Pathetic small % buffs for some outliers. I never saw this level of laziness since Vanilla.

  • mhlsnk Mauricio Hernández L (@mhlsnk) reported

    @ThreeeForks @Warcraft I have a GTX 1050 with paired with i6100 with 16gb ram and 240SSD, i play at least with 45fps on BG at 1080p with everything on high, your problem is not the game I can assure you.

  • Thibault0111 WhereIsMyShrimp (@Thibault0111) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @Warcraft @WarcraftDevs Please fix those wonky roblox servers y’all have

  • kalibaby22 Kali (@kalibaby22) reported

    Dilemma: Do I play #Warcraft cuz new patch stuff, and lag my way through it? (pc is 7 years old and on its last legs) OR do I wait, for my new pc, which I have no actual idea when it comes because apparently it's still being built? >.< I WANNA SEE THE NEW SHINIES! (but it'll lag)

  • Khime84 Khime84 (@Khime84) reported

    @WarcraftDevs The ENTIRE community is wondering WHY you would add a SICK BOW AND QUIVER to the game but have hunters at the BOTTEM of the DPS METERS. So much so my guild is saying I need to main swap...FIX THIS?!?!?!?

  • Rickysirtrixter ricky (@Rickysirtrixter) reported

    @Warcraft Login Server issues? unable to login and Constant disconnect.

  • ThudsonPlays Thudson (@ThudsonPlays) reported

    @BlizzardWatch No. Blaming Blizzard for the state of Warcraft’s paid services is only half correct. They wouldn’t be able to sell it if people didn’t buy it. Whether you think it’s right or not, the playerbase’s desire to skip the game is one of the game’s biggest problems.

  • jibbey_wow Jibbey ⚡ (@jibbey_wow) reported

    To all my PvP’ers out there. Don’t go too ham on the ladder week one. I know it seems tempting to grind glad/r1 and sit for the next 8 months. Nobody wants a repeat of season 1. This isn’t a player created problem, but we can help preventing it. Good luck in the arena! #Warcraft

  • George_Benev George Benev (@George_Benev) reported

    @ElliottVenczel @WarcraftDevs make fleshcraft unusable in bear form. problem fixed. Now what about ret palas bursting like crazy and self healing like no other? Also rating based gear upgrades are stupid since they create a chain of being too undergeared while still playing well but trying to climb the ladder

  • FreakinFlower HantevirusDK (@FreakinFlower) reported

    @WarcraftDevs @BlizzardCS so I did both of my assaults and didn't get soul cinders on my char Huntervirus . I submitted a ticket and was told there's nothing customer service can do. Is there **any** recourse?

  • FlorenciaAMZ_ Florencia (@FlorenciaAMZ_) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent with a broken heart, will be cancelling my subscription to World of @Warcraft. I have lost all hope that WoW will ever again be the heartwarming game and community it was. When a company shits on its players and lifts the finger at them for saying what they want…

  • HunterFallon Hunter Fallon (@HunterFallon) reported

    @OnlyBreakdowns @Nobbel87 Sylvanas has basically waltz'd through every problem without worry or care. She was not built up in a very compelling way. Even worse, the player base feels detached from Azeroth, the "World" of Warcraft.
