  • that_kind_oforc Grox “zug zug red boi”🎅🏻 (@that_kind_oforc) reported

    @Krexxal @WarcraftDevs Problem solving on a suggestion for WoW? That feels illegal. Pretty sure you just have to call me a noob and complain about bots Krex

  • VascoSilva92 Vasco 🏹 🌋 (@VascoSilva92) reported

    FINALLY managed to do the Mage Tower challenge on my Shadow Priest. What a nightmare. @WarcraftDevs for future challenges of the kind, please make them spec specific with the purpose of using our spec toolkit to succeed, instead of gimmicks, try/error and RNG #warcraft

  • SpookyFen Fen (@SpookyFen) reported

    @VanPalmerlin @Fruggiee @Warcraft In this instance, the issue doesn't lie with Blizzard. The issue lies with Twitter harboring a substantial group of monkey-brained humans who would rather gain recognition by joining the angry mob than think for themselves. No one wants to be smart but unpopular.

  • Cappmonkey CappMonkey⚖️🗽🌏⚛️🚀 (@Cappmonkey) reported

    @that_kind_oforc @WarcraftDevs I remember questing raids back in vanilla beta, I get why they stopped them, but not why there is not a better fix in all these years.

  • WowSokkkee Sokkee (@WowSokkkee) reported

    @WarcraftDevs Mage tower Xylem P2 HP pool is too high, its balanced around BIS timwalking gear with old consumables that scale better and broken Trinkets feom BfA, PLS valance it arround having NORMAL gear if u get too P2 and play it clean u should be able too Kill it

  • hitpointg ☙HitPoint❧ (@hitpointg) reported

    @Wheva @AutomaticJak @Warcraft Meanwhile in FFXIV you have FATE world bosses with 300-400 players in one small arena with little to no lag. All they have to do is occlusion the players like it does in FF and bam you have a quickfix for mass world boss stability.

  • GreyGramarye Grey Gramarye, Admiral of the Anti-Xmas Navy (@GreyGramarye) reported

    @AutomaticJak @Warcraft About 80% of deaths to Oondasta was server lag, though. Pull boss, freeze for 10 seconds, die, release, repeat.

  • tensokuu Ten w/threatening aura (@tensokuu) reported

    @LifeInNeon In the end, Warcraft will die because it refuses to change. They're playing lip service to the playerbase at this point; they only started making minor changes after a huge swath of the playerbase left to play FF14. I imagine they'll eventually talk about maybe --

  • Cryptofishery mid (@Cryptofishery) reported

    @Trader_Jibon $SLP have unlimited supply. It's Like World of warcraft Gold or like any gold games . The value will decrease over time. Not sure how long it will last and will drag the $AXS down with it. That's the main problem with Game to Earn.

  • theMysticBeard theMysticBeard (@theMysticBeard) reported

    @trellsky @WarcraftDevs I’ve actively started using mirror images in my burst rotation to avoid this problem. Haven’t had any issue since I started doing that.

  • WhyRaylanNYT Dashing through the Arsenault ❄️🎄 (@WhyRaylanNYT) reported

    decades of World of Warcraft expansions have prepared me for a lifetime of any login portal being fundamentally unusable the first week of general release

  • Luckshot1992 Schochi (@Luckshot1992) reported

    @pogr_io Almost every ubisoft or EA title in zhe last 5 years... But also, cyberbug 2077, warcraft 3 reforged, XIII remake... Man... So many broken hopes and dreams... Now im sad... I'm going back to bed...

  • DieCookieElves DaBloodyNine (@DieCookieElves) reported

    @Warcraft plz fix the game…….

  • romser_notbased Based on what? (@romser_notbased) reported

    @jpctheman @WarcraftDevs Rogue not broken in m+ for 1 xpac and we arrive at this

  • Thyst03 Thyst 💙 (@Thyst03) reported

    @Warcraft I was using a walmart acer laptop with a literal ice pack strapped to it during MOP. I did this fight all the time but I legitimately have never actually seen it happen lol #lag

  • Wheva Steven Golden (@Wheva) reported

    @AutomaticJak @Warcraft They will have to fix server stability enough that the entire world server doesn’t die anytime the boss gets pulled. Imo world bosses should be in a separate world instance like torghast lobby, that way the lag doesn’t destroy the playability of the entire zone.

  • TheGameFreek Game Freek (@TheGameFreek) reported

    @trellsky @WarcraftDevs Remeber that time Blizzard couldnt fix threat so they made it obsolete instead? Pepperidge Farms Remembers.... If they wouldnt/couldnt fix it then with current mainstream content, they arent gonna fix it now for a niche audience.

  • Jcrux92 Big Hat Logan (@Jcrux92) reported

    @chadgelina When it was called world of warcraft it was a "problem"

  • Ardaskella Dranallska (@Ardaskella) reported

    @Warcraft Can keep waiting, I ain't coming back until you fix your shitstorm

  • x4thSannin Brandon Pawlowski (@x4thSannin) reported

    I really wish @ATVI_AB wasn’t a piece of **** company because I really miss Overwatch and World of Warcraft. Fire your abusers and fix your company.

  • wilhelm2451 Wilhelm Arcturus (@wilhelm2451) reported

    @MassivelyOP I like when I get the pingbacks from sites that took the trouble to run a post back and forth through Google translate, but couldn't be bothered to clean the links. "The Historic Gaming Noob scouted out World of Warcraft’s new neighborhood council"

  • indigent_one 🌹scott🌹dee🌹 (@indigent_one) reported

    @Warcraft the server lag was the real enemy all along

  • Krexxal Krexxal💙 (@Krexxal) reported

    @that_kind_oforc @WarcraftDevs Easy fix for this: have it so that if the raid group is clustered together doing the quest it doesn’t count, but if it’s 5 or less people in the area of the quest then it does.

  • KaylaHo07212299 ‧͙⁺˚*・༓☾Kayla Houston☽༓・*˚⁺‧͙ (@KaylaHo07212299) reported

    @Winterblossomxx yea. Quite sadly, World of Warcraft Shadowlands is still broken over here. Stuck in its sticky web of Updating / Scanning. Tried everything Blizzard told me. None of their suggestions worked. I'm just gonna wait for Starlink.

  • SpaventosoWoW SpaventosoWoW (@SpaventosoWoW) reported

    @that_kind_oforc @WarcraftDevs Yeah raid numbers can solve this 1 - 5 can quest together 6 - 10 so on. Ez Pz. But yeah people will try to abuse it is probably the main problem

  • amalecow amalecow (@amalecow) reported

    We didn't lose a raid to Butt Mommy in World of Warcraft. That is the disconnect. You don't even know you have bones.

  • MWShewman Stonehenge (@MWShewman) reported

    @that_kind_oforc @WarcraftDevs Yep - it’s such a pain in the <cough> <cough> 😷 While I understand some of the underlying concerns, It’s only a problem if you believe it’s a problem.

  • AlJAug Alex Augunas (He/Him) (@AlJAug) reported

    @that_kind_oforc @WarcraftDevs This, totally. A fix could be, "You can do normal quests in a raid group, but the only players whose actions count towards your quest progress are those in the same 5-player group as you within the raid." Maybe not easy from a programming standpoint, but conceptually easy.

  • AkeezyDamind Akil Smith (@AkeezyDamind) reported

    @Spacewalker33 @ScottMendelson Sony wanted another billion dollar film the fact that it didn't do good domestically was the issue rather than world wide. Warcraft is a good example

  • that_kind_oforc Grox “zug zug red boi”🎅🏻 (@that_kind_oforc) reported

    @Cappmonkey @WarcraftDevs Yeah I get why they did it- but yeah you’re right, there should be a better fix
