World of Warcraft Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • jjericho_ Jericho (@jjericho_) reported

    Every time I login to my Druid and try to play/gear my Boomy, I'm fine for about an hour but then I get really bored. Venthyr Boomy especially. #warcraft

  • RareyboiAJB AJB (@RareyboiAJB) reported

    @WarcraftDevs Remove pvp upgrade renown requirement. Increase honor gain by like 100%? Alot atleast, or decrease the honor gear cost significantly. Ur biggest issue right now is inaccesability, If I level a class to 60 to pvp, I have to farm extreme amounts of honor and renown.

  • carlierae26 Someone, somwhere (@carlierae26) reported

    @LimitThdlock @WarcraftDevs A few addons cause me a lot of lag.

  • denniswolf8 dennis wolf (@denniswolf8) reported

    @soulsobreezy @WarcraftDevs Yes, and let us buy shards with the embers. That alone will fix so much of the community hate against the shards. Make stuff fixed is good. The biggest problem I see with the shard system is how random it is. Give us a vendor and it improves so much.

  • saswink duncan idatode (@saswink) reported

    @future__ghost Postal service + 2005 world of Warcraft was a vibe I hate this combination of words

  • LimitPreheat Preheat 💙 (@LimitPreheat) reported

    @LimitThdlock @WarcraftDevs The lag was so bad for my raid that we called it. 20% chance you get to p2 just based off of unplayable lag when sentinels or arrows spawn. Most pulls it was like world boss lag and when spoke ended half the raid was dead.

  • Murredly Matt Mayer (@Murredly) reported

    @LimitThdlock @WarcraftDevs I remember during mist I ended up getting smoothping BC there was a known issue that didn't get resolved for over a year. Game would be unplayed in raids and the problem was all over the forums but no fix

  • itsneryssa Neryssa 💙 Wowhead (@itsneryssa) reported

    @LimitThdlock @WarcraftDevs Yeah that sounds absolutely awful, I did some investigating and apparently Tichondrius is going through similar issues and they do share a datacenter with my Hyjal folks (Los Angeles), Iliidan is Chicago. Weird stuff. I'll see about bringing some attention to this.

  • muffinsAKA muffins (@muffinsAKA) reported

    jonathan blow is insane "Blow has spoken out against some games for immoral game design. On World of Warcraft, he has said it causes societal problems by creating a false image of the meaning of life, calling it "unethical."

  • XoraEU Xora (@XoraEU) reported

    @WarcraftDevs Any chance that you can refund the players who have already spent 40k+ research on conduits now that you've decided to make upgrades target your current spec? It's a complete joke that this change came so late despite being an issue since Shadowlands release...

  • Jedithtv Jedith 🗯 (@Jedithtv) reported

    @LimitThdlock @WarcraftDevs The lag is SO bad this tier. Makes me nervous every new boss we start prog on

  • PNWAffliction PNW Affliction (@PNWAffliction) reported

    Diablo 2 Resurrected looking like ****. Lag spikes, rebounds, lack of local play, and an overabundance of censorship. Way to kill another franchise Blizzard. 👎 Should have started with Diablo 1 and done it right. Cutting corners like WarCraft 3 Reforged. Lazy.

  • euphoricz_wow Euphoric - Whomegalull (@euphoricz_wow) reported

    @PatrikLiba1 @leekatv @WarcraftDevs AnYoNE wHo DoEs StORy has ReNoWn. This issue is still having to complete renown levels on alts for what should be account wide upgrades. I shouldn't have to to the same story that doesn't change multiple time just to upgrade gear on more than one character.. that BY THE WAY 1/2

  • zantheus93 lord zantheus (@zantheus93) reported

    @Lepandk @WarcraftDevs They are slowly fixing issues with the expansion lol We are just getting the conduit upgrades fixed

  • ClasponGames Tim.Gremz (@ClasponGames) reported

    @YossefSnchez @Lontar_wow @WarcraftDevs This wasn't a problem in the past. Why would it be now? The game used to be alt friendly with giving us the ability to get items that increased the rep on other toons after you got to exalted on one. BoA items. Why did they stop giving us such items? Gatekeeping.

  • itsneryssa Neryssa 💙 Wowhead (@itsneryssa) reported

    @LimitThdlock @WarcraftDevs Honestly, I haven't noticed any lag at all this tier, and I do play with fairly high latency (usually 180-200ms). Haven't seen many complaints from my raid either. Could be an addon or some other external issue? Maybe ISP related?

  • xortiq Xortiq (@xortiq) reported

    Dear @WarcraftDevs yesterday i had to do torghast on 7 different characters. And i must say it wasnt very enjoyable. Here is why. Each wings is too short making it hard to enjoy when ur character get OP and a big issue on top of that, is that not only does it cut off the fun p1

  • DOGBALANCETEAM DOG BALANCE TEAM (@DOGBALANCETEAM) reported

    @TraduNaCl @WarcraftDevs Create a problem and then implement the solution a patch later, where have I seen this before?

  • Spinymaus Caleb aka Spinymaus (@Spinymaus) reported

    @dana_howl Seriously! The biggest problem I keep running into in my head is scale. StarCraft/warcraft had pretty big maps so going tiny is the way to go?

  • abesdude Beitownz (@abesdude) reported

    @dekeldeclan I’d actually like @WarcraftDevs to fix the real problems in game instead of changing emotes etc to suggest that those are going to fix the sick repulsive culture within your company! In game emotes are fine! Doing disgusting **** IRL to people is not!

  • itsneryssa Neryssa 💙 Wowhead (@itsneryssa) reported

    @LimitThdlock @WarcraftDevs Maybe it's an issue on certain datacenters I imagine :(

  • OriginalPooper Pupperoni (@OriginalPooper) reported

    @casualish @RobertKuhlmeyer @WarcraftDevs If someone isn't in a guild, they might not think this is an actual issue, but oftentimes, at least for serious guilds, players follow their guilds when/if they xfer servers or faction. This is something we've seen for the last 16 yrs and something that should be taken into acct

  • Christ0fur Chris (@Christ0fur) reported

    @LimitThdlock @WarcraftDevs Playing a frost mage with the lag and the dodgy spell -queueing sucks soooo much **** when it's lagging. Going from spamming ice lance to hard casting and you get a giant delay every time and having to wait half a year for flurry to go off ZZZZzzzzzz

  • Riokaii Riokaii (@Riokaii) reported

    @Wowhead So players were right about RNG conduits being bad since Shadowlands launched, and we were right all along, but the fix only comes NOW. What took so long and why? What steps should players take to get this fixed sooner next time? @WarcraftDevs

  • LimitThdlock Thdlock (@LimitThdlock) reported

    @itsneryssa @WarcraftDevs Ye could be server based but I know of many guilds that are currently having lag issues and its almost every raid night. Happened to us the last 2 weeks this week more so

  • njaevin Kev (@njaevin) reported

    @IGN Who cares? Anyone wanting a name change don't get that this doesn't solve problems. Its only a PR move if at all. McCree is a character with a story, history and such. Not a useless, lame npc like they did with the warcraft characters

  • Mr_T3xaz Mr.T3xaz 💙 (@Mr_T3xaz) reported

    @DRodahi @Warcraft Fate scribe is broken?

  • LimitPreheat Preheat 💙 (@LimitPreheat) reported

    @LimitThdlock @WarcraftDevs The lag was so bad for my raid that we called it. 20% chance you get to p2 just based off of unplayable lag when sentinels or arrows spawn. Most pulls it was like world boss lag and when the lag spike ended half the raid was dead to mechanics that never appeared.
