Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Hailstorm_TTV Hailstorm (@Hailstorm_TTV) reported

    @timthetatman @Warcraft Considering he breaks everything he touches, I'm expecting a bunch of disconnections and lag coming

  • Kenneth62295819 Kenneth E (@Kenneth62295819) reported

    @Warcraft I can’t even play the lag is redonkulous

  • catswhokill catswhokill (@catswhokill) reported

    When you have to cancel your stream because your webcam shipped to you broken 💔😭 #twitch #twitchstreamer #worldofwarcraft

  • CaptainVG313 {~CaptainVG313~} (@CaptainVG313) reported

    @hwise29 Non issue here. My cat can't handle being alone for more than a day. So only gatherings I'd do is if it was done locally. But no one I know is. Considering #WorldOfWarcraft #Shadowlands releases tomorrow, some won't mind being alone for Thanksgiving.

  • DaunjorCreator Creator of Daunjor (@DaunjorCreator) reported

    @VoicingDragoon7 That make no sense, when Ruby carried Penny back in Vale, we could she that Ruby had problems with her robotic friends weigth and that inside the rose petal "whirlwind". What Penny told their sound like Blink from Warcraft.

  • AverageErick AverageErick (@AverageErick) reported

    @Warcraft just found a slight ... really offensive problem with your game that I'd rather not post publicly and put you guys on blast for . Please reach out to me and I can send a screenshot.

  • amayo_og Амаё (@amayo_og) reported

    @Nelfist1 @Warcraft I had exact same issues with night elves story and treir treatment in BfA. Story is indeed fanfiction trash and recent writes are worthless sjw with no idea how to portait night elves. There is nothing we can do about it. So I choose to focus on positive things

  • desudrive desudrive (@desudrive) reported

    @Warcraft Please for the love of god, fix feral. It's been two years and it's still under-performing garbage. Yikes. Just yikes.

  • DaveCash0527 Dave C (@DaveCash0527) reported

    @Warcraft Inb4 there’s server issues for the first 24-48 hours and people spend the entirety of tomorrow night and Tuesday complaining that they can’t log in on the social media platforms of WoW and the forums

  • ImKokoHello ❄️☃️ hello im cold ☃️❄️ (@ImKokoHello) reported

    I've decided to take the night off since I'm doing a long stream tomorrow for shdaowlands launch (World of Warcraft). I'll be live at the normal time 6PM PST (maybe earlier if I'm able to login) and I think it launches at 3PM PST. I'm gonna stream for as long as I can.

  • acomfyshirt oh shit its shirt (@acomfyshirt) reported

    @valarynn I really wish they'd go back and /fix/ this and make it what they intended to be. But they won't, and it's a shame. And frankly, after this failure, I can't see them doing another Warcraft RTS ever too.

  • BelleAvocat Belle (@BelleAvocat) reported

    @Warcraft Not looking good if Icecrown rares are any indication for SL. Lag makes it impossible to cast, people lag to come back dead, etc. How is this such an issue?...

  • olivier541 olivier holstein (@olivier541) reported

    @Warcraft I am begging you, servers will be massively crowded at launch especially servers like Illidan on Na so please upgrade the capacity of servers before its too late and we cant login for 3hours like in WoD (was actually 6)

  • SuperDuperSRS Dorkseid (@SuperDuperSRS) reported

    @ryanaeckles @WarcraftDevs @WatcherDev As someone who started multiboxing back in the days of EverQuest, I've had my finger on the pulse of this issue for... well. A while. The 40+ boxers, afaik were already running afoul of the rules. If memory servers, there was a cap set to how many accounts one person could have.

  • SMxPhoenix 𝑺.𝑴. 𝑷𝒉𝒐𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒙✍🏼 (@SMxPhoenix) reported

    Started a new character in #worldofwarcraft tonight. This time I am a #Tauren #Warrior and my goodness.... what a BEAST of a character so far - and I am only level 7! Had to abandon my lvl 29 Blood Elf because my pet broke :( @Blizzard_Ent please fix my pet bug!

  • SpideyofAsgard Brittiny Charee (@SpideyofAsgard) reported

    I had my characters on @Warcraft put in a very specific order. I get on to see them all mixed up. And I can’t fix them!!! #Warcraft #worldofwarcraft

  • MsD_Wallace FukTrump💁‍♀️💛💜🐝 (@MsD_Wallace) reported

    @Warcraft I will be working unfortunately, because I couldn't change my time off after you moved the launch date. So it won't be until 7:30pm central before I can get in. Hope server load issues are fixed by then.

  • utopianmae Allbur Chellak (@utopianmae) reported

    What have I learned from this. If Void Elves were real, they would be total ******* who would not give me the time of day. Also...they really have the sluttiest armor in #worldofwarcraft and I actually don’t have a problem with that. Monks also are pretty entertaining to play

  • Calnor_ Calnor (@Calnor_) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent a day before @Warcraft #Shadowlands and your loader is giving all sorts of trouble. Blank screens, much lag. You are not prepared for tomorrow.

  • Mojo_66 Mojo66 (@Mojo_66) reported

    @Warcraft One more sleep until we get “unexpected login problems”.

  • TMaZB TheMazBros عبدالعزيز (@TMaZB) reported

    Oh btw.. i just woke up.. Yes i destroyed my sleeping schedule for you @Warcraft .. don't you dare lag on me

  • Mgarraway14 malcolm☿️ (@Mgarraway14) reported

    @Warcraft So hyped for the server crash and lag🥰🥰

  • ofsaltandseas oh yeah baby, it's angst time 🔪 (@ofsaltandseas) reported

    Just a note to my Warcraft pals that I will NOT be playing Shadowlands until (my) Wednesday night. I figure trying on Tuesday after work won't be worth it between potential launch bugs & my exhaustion, so I'm going to come at it when those two aren't an issue.

  • HarriOnBass progambientindustrial (@HarriOnBass) reported

    @Solfire @Warcraft Sometimes it's not the issues we think... I had quite a big fight with 3 GMs I didn't want them to give me the answer I wanted them to help me work out where a was going wrong only one out of the 3 manage to do it

  • Heronymus Jerome Comeau is social-media-distancing (@Heronymus) reported

    Ah, World of Warcraft. Come for the loot lag, stay for the casual misogyny!

  • TheShawn4Real TheShawn 🦝 (@TheShawn4Real) reported

    if you're excited for or play WOW (world of warcraft) in 2020, you're part of the problem why games, especially MMOs, nowadays are all dogshit...

  • ChubbyGamerNerd 🍂 Chubby Gamer Nerd 🍂 (@ChubbyGamerNerd) reported

    @towelthetank @Warcraft I haven't streamed in a good while due to several technical issues, but I plan to do so once I get those resolved. WoW will probably be the main thing, but I do stream other stuff too.

  • _flashrl Sam (@_flashrl) reported

    @KirkEsports @DestinyTheGame @Warcraft 400 light raid sherpa titan at your service 😎

  • Sephius_Mojo Sephius Nogard (@Sephius_Mojo) reported

    Last sleep before p̵l̵a̵y̵i̵n̵g̵ ̵S̵h̵a̵d̵o̵w̵l̵a̵n̵d̵ waiting from midnight to 2am for the World of Warcraft login servers to be working, then waiting 2 hours in connections queue, then finally playing for 10minuts before being disconnected. Can't wait! #Warcraft #Shadowlands

  • Mrluga Krow (@Mrluga) reported

    @Lilayaah @Warcraft It sucks knowing I will go to sleep as it launches XD But at least I will play the game well rested, and hopefully without launch issues.
