World of Warcraft Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TrueKingSilv TrueKingSilviano (@TrueKingSilv) reported

    @SeleneLunaedge @Warcraft They merge realms every now and again, but merging realms doesn't fix the bigger issue, the fact that the vast majority of the playerbase currently raids on one faction (Horde). It's bad enough to be the outnumbered faction, (1/2)

  • toxictimbo Tim (@toxictimbo) reported

    @Veniulem @mattydoga @Warcraft I think the problem is the first iteration of housing/garrisons wasn't perfect. Imagine if instead of scrapping it they iterated on it every expansion and added to it. Instead we lost garrisons idea completely and kept the ******* mission table (who even uses this ****?)

  • The_Dan_Reed Dan Reed (@The_Dan_Reed) reported

    @Outriders I hate to say it, but you guys messed up big time by not making the game live service. With no content comes a huge drop off of your player base. This is the reason why so many games haven’t been as successful as Destiny, Warcraft, borderlands etc. They need content to feed off

  • VimFuego1970 Vim 💙 (@VimFuego1970) reported

    @Warcraft Shame I can’t even log on due to the Admin BNet issue

  • sirtrollingtonn Aaron (@sirtrollingtonn) reported

    @Wowhead It's the reason why there's always trouble on Prime Earth or why there's always some outside force trying to invade it. The same could be true for Azeroth if my theory is correct. Azeroth could like Prime Earth be some kind of nexus of all causality in the Warcraft cosmos.

  • ScratchyDerose Chris DeRose is LOOKNG for CANDY 🎃 (@ScratchyDerose) reported

    @JacobYoung94 The only thing we save is Over watch, World of Warcraft, Crash, and Spyro.

  • Born2beSlicker Mark Lawson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 (@Born2beSlicker) reported

    I started to feel the relent on the anti-Activision embargo, as the CoD itch was coming back. Today’s news very quickly kicked that up the arse. Call of Duty, Overwatch, Diablo, Warcraft, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Candy Crush. They continue to remain dead and buried in this house.

  • Joshosss Joshua Lentini (@Joshosss) reported

    @MichaelLoda @Hearthpwn yeah, thats why i called you a "warcaft puritan", and i repeat it like a broken record, if you want wow or warcraft, the games are there, this is hearthstone, not heroes of warcraft anymore. So you have to deal with the twists wether you like it or not

  • professorsan Meta Beth - Finite & Infinite Games 🍁💉💉 🎗🍿 💙 (@professorsan) reported

    Just the fact that Activision named Jen ONeal the first female co-head of World of Warcraft studio Blizzard and then paid her less than her male co-lead shows that there was NEVER an intention to redress the equity issues in the company. #ABetterABK

  • TisAJestBro wyan (@TisAJestBro) reported

    it's important to note that the team behind making warcraft are not guilty of this kind of behavior anymore, these problems lie on abk upper management

  • Errol1001 Errol (@Errol1001) reported

    @HK_Solenerro Yeah. Usually comes along with some problem in the new version, otherwise people won't complain too much. I kinda wanted to replay Warcraft 3 when they announced the remaster of that. but it sounds maybe like it is even worse than the original, which can't be purchased now.

  • wakoyantanke2 wakoyantanke (@wakoyantanke2) reported

    @Warcraft Can you fix the npc in cut scenes so their voices match the movement of their mouth? What about redoing the visual effects when casting spells? The used to be good but now it’s a generic flash of color like a bad cartoon

  • thebl4ckd0g Chris aka Blackdog (@thebl4ckd0g) reported

    The lag/latency in the Shadowlands zone Bastion in @Warcraft is unbearable the last 3 days. Hopefully @Blizzard_Ent can fix it tomorrow on Maintenance day... :(

  • Madskillphil Madskillphil (@Madskillphil) reported

    @Madmaxx99987762 @Warcraft I may login to retail to see how bad it is RN.

  • zashea32 Feelsboostedman (@zashea32) reported

    @WarcraftDevs Day 76 of daily tweets to fix deathspike legendary bugs. Gotta fix it before 9.2 for double leggo!

  • TrueKingSilv TrueKingSilviano (@TrueKingSilv) reported

    @SeleneLunaedge @Warcraft But the worst part is the constant bias of the split causes more guilds to stop raiding or even have to swap to Horde` *JUST TO BE ABLE TO RECRUIT*. It's essentially the 'small/dead realms' issue on a game-wide scale. So why fix it at the micro level first exactly???

  • zashea32 Feelsboostedman (@zashea32) reported

    @WarcraftDevs Day 77 of daily tweets to fix deathspike legendary bugs. Gotta fix it before 9.2 for double leggo!

  • jmhenner Jon Henner (@jmhenner) reported

    @BrightBlueInk @katrinaltrnsl8r I hear that. Blizz was a huge part of my life, starting with Rock n Roll Racing. Even Warcraft was - I started with the first RTS game as a child. But I can't right now until they fix whatever needs to be fixed.

  • Vurian97 Vurian  (@Vurian97) reported

    Today I rewatched the end of Legion where Sargeras plunges the sword into Silithus. I don't remember anyone ever talking about how Sargeras used the other hand to hold/push onto Azeroth. Why did that not cause problems? Why didn't it smash things? #worldofwarcraft

  • PsychoNekomata Nekomata (@PsychoNekomata) reported

    Unfriendly reminder: Activision-Blizzard deserves to die. Unsub from WoW. Condemn CoD. Do not play Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo, Oberwatch, etc. Do not play Crash, Spyro, etc. Do not touch any games made by them. Drain their money until they crumble to dust.

    @downdetector User report indicate that World of Warcraft is having problems since 2020

  • hermeez1122 hermes lawrence (@hermeez1122) reported

    @Warcraft Really? So it’s ok for baine but not us? Come on just let me play with all my friends. I get the lore but gameplay needs to be though out here. And if it’s how armor model issues than just make it transmog. This is so out of touch.

  • rolandsai Rolandsai 🐺 Writing Commissions Open (@rolandsai) reported

    If you follow me you know I'm a bit of a broken record about my desire for Player Housing in Warcraft. But I just realized something I want even more when 10.0 is announced. Let us kill Odyn. Like, seriously, let us team up with Helya and the Valkyr and just decimate him.

  • katsuyaxrebd XenoEmblem4TW 💜 (@katsuyaxrebd) reported

    @Anubirai @Warcraft In general buff Feral druids so they do as good as balance. Feral druid is ignored rip. And fix the talent that extends bleed duration for bites. 1 second sucks. Should be 2 seconds i creased duration

  • KartiPiotr Karti (@KartiPiotr) reported

    @DarkRanger_Sis @Warcraft @WarcraftDevs imagine seeing beeing force to pay 750k gold for a small house in game imagine how much tokens would increase in price, and how much boosting would be a problem again

  • Blackhawk_Mader Corey Mader (@Blackhawk_Mader) reported

    @DarkRanger_Sis @Warcraft @WarcraftDevs Instead of turning the game into The Sims: Warcraft Edition, why don’t we fix all the problems and issues that caused all the fallout over the last several years. Focus on making Wow one of the best MMOs again, like it used to be.

  • starchild426 Starchild 🇺🇸🪖👽 (@starchild426) reported

    @TheQuartering Warcraft servers down or something? TF those people even doing there?

  • lextheglider △ jalajalapeno (@lextheglider) reported

    @LockedSilver Part of this issue is compounded by Warcraft was a singular movie that had a story too big for its run time. I think if it had been split into 2 movies and we had time to focus on a smaller conflict that evolved it would have been better

  • WHWxKSA WHW (@WHWxKSA) reported

    @JordanDelphine_ @rage_elf @Warcraft U are the problem

  • shitfuckerlol Penis Goblin (@shitfuckerlol) reported

    @TTV_Myrikal @playnewworld No loss at losing someone who complains about developers trying to fix their game and prevent exploited items from circulating. If you want a game that won't go down, go play World of Warcraft.
