    @WarcraftDevs @holinka remainder that rogues are BROKEN AF oneshoting people everywhere and the pvp season starts this Tuesday, can you fix them? a 50% nerf to those oneshot spells probably is not enough but could be a good start

  • Senppai90 Senppai wrapped in several blankets (@Senppai90) reported

    So I've been getting ads in wow for not just a boosting service but an RMT one... USING MY CALENDAR??? How???? Yes they were reported. @WarcraftDevs

  • DomPistons Elongated Muskrat 🏀🐅🦁 (@DomPistons) reported

    @ThePappyPete @WoWEsports @Warcraft Was just going to tweet this same thing. And if you try to use Soar as a Dracthyr, you disconnect. Azure Span is more like Lagure Span.

  • Valkemen Valkemen (@Valkemen) reported

    Problems with tanks in PvP? I would like to see this base strategic propotion dps/healing/control: Damage dealers 50/20/30 Healers 30/50/20 Tanks 30/20/50 @WarcraftDevs let tanks to taunt other players - enemy player could not change target for x seconds #Dragonflight #Warcraft

  • hawkwardbirdman Hawkward (@hawkwardbirdman) reported

    @Warcraft any update on a fix to the constant lag issues in the Azure Span?

  • _57ARK_ 💙☆🖤 S T A R K 🖤☆💙 now on 𝖈𝖔𝖍𝖔𝖘𝖙 too (@_57ARK_) reported

    @naiadreticent I literally can remember like, me and the homies playing the first few matches of unreal tournament or warcraft 3 online with normal lag, then hooking the computers up to the networking switch and watching the latency *vanish* because this was when the difference was noticeable

  • Volvagia224 Kieran (@Volvagia224) reported

    @Cryptic_TX55 Theres nothing really high risk in the arguments either company are presenting in litigation. Every piece of litigation mentions one thing and one thing only: Call of Duty. What about: World of warcraft Diablo Overwatch Spyro Crash bandicoot Tony Hawks Pro Skater Etc, etc...

  • Tnecwin The Hallow ten (@Tnecwin) reported

    @BigDonnyCal @Warcraft As lon as you can earn currency without paying anything and can spend it as you wish, is that not an issue. If someone wants to skip ahead by buying said currency (as long as said currency don't give any power what so ever) is there no harm.

  • Raphaelgirard_ Raphael Girard (@Raphaelgirard_) reported

    @RichBaley @Warcraft Do you have issue with your account is Also ?

  • IvanMakesGames ScorpioSymbol (@IvanMakesGames) reported

    I'd say about every 100 times or so that I jump when I'm mounted on my drake I get disconnected and kicked to login - surveying my guild mates this happens to them too - is this something being fixed? @Warcraft @WarcraftDevs #Dragonflight

  • NWeasels NuclearWeasels (@NWeasels) reported

    @TheoForsythe @Wowhead Sorry, was half asleep when I originally responded, "So I can upgrade my crafted gear". Seriously, you'd think the drop rate would be similar to parity gear just so that @Warcraft doesn't let their brand new crafting system lag horrifically behind heroic and mythic drops.

  • ThePappyPete Pappypete (@ThePappyPete) reported

    @WoWEsports @Warcraft The lag issue in The Azure Span is making the gameplay experience horrible if not totally impossible, seems to be a widespread and common issue known among players. Shocked it’s still ongoing this long after launch. Please fix it.

  • Kiratkekw Kirat (@Kiratkekw) reported

    @michaelc8402 @Warcraft Then what? Cosmetics, mounts, whatnot, as far as its not gear dafuq is your problem? You also hate on blizz store too, i guess

  • roguecaliber Ben (@roguecaliber) reported

    @KoboldRampage It's true. Warcraft has been so frustrating. Still no response from customer service :/ this game is on everything, but free right now on Psplus.

  • InhumeCx Inhume (@InhumeCx) reported

    @WarcraftDevs Any chance we can get someone to fix the reagent bank not working with any professions? If you don't have the item on you and at the work bench, it doesn't work.

  • SoakzyXD Soakzy (@SoakzyXD) reported

    HAHA @BlizzardCS @WarcraftDevs 1 more day until mythic, still no spark of ingenuity fix for the ticket I put in hehehe, lets maybe not **** over people from having a spark item no? what you think

  • clr_hc clrx0.eth (@clr_hc) reported

    Bro fix your battlenet login everytime it asks to approve authenticator it refreshes the page and doesnt let you login, been years like this wtf @battlenet @BlizzardCS @WarcraftDevs

  • sglSols Zthrox (@sglSols) reported

    @WarcraftDevs @Warcraft please for the love of God fix the lag in The Azure Span. it's almost unplayable

  • _AnthonyJuarez Anthony Juarez (@_AnthonyJuarez) reported

    @Warcraft What efforts are being used to reduce lag in The Azure Span?

  • JhonatanM210 Jhonatan Morales (@JhonatanM210) reported

    @Warcraft @Blizzard_Ent Fix The Azure Span for the love of God, every action is delayed like 3 secs, only in this zone!

  • Tnecwin The Hallow ten (@Tnecwin) reported

    @BigDonnyCal @Warcraft I am not saying they SHOULD add monetization. I am just saying that even IF they add it eventually, as long as the system allows you to earn the currency at a good rate (looking at the screenshots is it a good rate) is that not a problem.

  • krausierprime Kapora (@krausierprime) reported

    @WarcraftDevs Is there going to be a fix for this server lag issues in zones where there's more than 40 players doing an event? For example the Tuskarr event has been a negative experience since everything is teleporting because of the lag, thanks.

  • playrolegames Play Role Games 🆓 (@playrolegames) reported

    @LightsongGamer @chrissyxchi There is a free trial for the new expansion? Because after I see and read (a lot) and was able to try (beta) I nevera gonna purchse the expansión, much less pay a month sub. This not feel like Warcraft, and the Main issues (for me) are not solved.

  • recalcitrantQ Patrick Feeney (@recalcitrantQ) reported

    The #1 problem with Warcraft is that disc priests don't actually worship the Aten

  • BigDonnyCal BigDonnyCal (@BigDonnyCal) reported

    @Tnecwin @Warcraft First part of your message is grand yea but still monetizing it in anyway just will create issues. The game is expensive enough!

  • AnexRavensong Anex (@AnexRavensong) reported

    @Warcraft @BlizzardCS for the love of god PLEASE fix the D/C rocks.. jeebus I cant log back in
