Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • cendeeballa Baron Samedi (Aairos Atherys) (@cendeeballa) reported

    @Warcraft why can't i subscriiiiibe internal error 500

  • Sawfty_ Ryan (@Sawfty_) reported

    @loveinvayne @WarcraftDevs It does benefit you in leveling, however in my opinion it isn't worth it, and a skip just seems like such a logical fix. Also, never thought you were ragging on me, I appreciate the conversation/discussion!

  • ArneayaArts MLN (@ArneayaArts) reported

    .@Warcraft is currently lagging on the loading screens so badly that I have traveled by zeplin between Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms 4 times now with no chance of actually getting off the zeplin

  • varonity Varonity (@varonity) reported

    if I see a game that forces me to subscribe in order to play it, like Trackmania2020 or World of Warcraft I'm immediately not interested in it at all. is this a me problem?

  • GMB_1978 Mud (@GMB_1978) reported

    @Warcraft .... not prepared for the lag

  • SkyZ824 Daniel Zhao (@SkyZ824) reported

    @Petko1996 @WarcraftDevs Yeh i can def see it esepcially double potency conduit with a non-necrolord conv or even going emeni without convenant conduit, if that munches SK then fk no, Devs please fix

  • JunellAdam Adam Björnfot Junell (@JunellAdam) reported

    @Warcraft Very high latency on many EU classic servers. Not even playable for the majority of the players. Is this a known issue or do we just have to accept that some servers are overcrowded?

  • topstarjohn Topstar (@topstarjohn) reported

    @WarcraftDevs @WatcherDev Shadowlands can be one of the best xpacks for pvp but the fact that no dev seems to be understanding the issue or putting in effort to resolve the issues of long seasons, no class changes to the meta and the non-alt friendly gearing system is just sad

  • GhostlyR4mpag3 SkillLessSX (@GhostlyR4mpag3) reported

    @WarcraftDevs Well highly doubt it's a DDOS attack how about all them people trying to get into their server at the same time? Did you just grab the old server blades from back when BC came out the first time? And just threw them into some server put together by monkeys?

  • JowksTV Jowks (@JowksTV) reported

    @Lepandk @WarcraftDevs "daily remember 9 to fix MMR #Shadowlands @WarcraftDevs " I think it will be my last for me, I just don't believe in them anymore.

  • MrCreatorGuy Mikehyphenplays: Commissions (open) (@MrCreatorGuy) reported

    @CoffeeCatPlays @WarcraftDevs oh noes, erm.. maybe its a track error, and they have similar names? or maybe numbers?

  • Sawfty_ Ryan (@Sawfty_) reported

    @SubtleGames @WarcraftDevs That's fair, I think we all have varying degrees of how much we like or dislike it, like most things in Warcraft. My major issue that there is just not reason to not have a skip OPTION for those that would like to.

  • Megazorz Megazorz (@Megazorz) reported

    @WarcraftDevs If its DDOS they could easily prove it, have you ever seen the wow server/ security center? Its like NASA only more advanced., it's hard to anticipate and allocate the amount of server for launch, is a tight rope of server space and wasting million dollars if you get it wrong.

  • Synyster_Aya AyaSun (@Synyster_Aya) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN WORLD SERVER DOWN... seriously Blizz, in the middle of a M+ run. #warcraft

  • Ryanmb30 Geriatric Millennial (@Ryanmb30) reported

    @Sawfty_ @Zasu_Z @WarcraftDevs They'll remove it in 9.2 when they fix everything else broken about SL.

  • MinshiWoW Minshi (@MinshiWoW) reported

    Playing PTR keys and hpala still looking way better than any other healer. Prideful is gone but they're still pulling 4-5k overall while rest of us can barely hit 2k?? 😡 Fix please @WarcraftDevs

  • AmandaPlays89 AmandaPlays89 (@AmandaPlays89) reported

    @WarcraftDevs I know someone on Dalaran that just got his account back from being stolen and said that he couldn't even stand in Orgrimmar without horrible lag and that was last week. I havent noticed anything on Malfurion though.

  • my_neverender Ali Gold (@my_neverender) reported

    @Warcraft going to fix shadowlands any time soon

  • Kiraan_Z Flo (@Kiraan_Z) reported

    @WarcraftDevs You can't expect people not to have mana issue especially when you design a healing cd where you need to cast a 2800 mana cost ST spell several times to be useful. Its OP when you have an innervate and your mana bar is empty without. Please do something about that.

  • PatrikLiba1 Patrik Liba (@PatrikLiba1) reported

    @WarcraftDevs @WatcherDev Is it intended to feel on unholy dk when i miss runes to apply Festering Strike to spam scourge strike instead of what would be play wait for runes to put Festring Strike ? Waiting does not feel fluid. Blood has same issue +-. Festering strike 1 rune ?

  • Khime84 Khime84 (@Khime84) reported

    @WarcraftDevs Tyrannical needs to be fixed if your going to make us run them for in game IO. NO one plays on those weeks and ppl are quitting because of them not being fun. Imagine having something in the game that makes people AVOID playing for a whole week. FIX IT

  • Tango_Bunny TangoBunny - Davis (@Tango_Bunny) reported

    @BlueMicrophones @Warcraft Big complaint about this mics soundboard thing. You can't adjust the output volume and sometimes it just permanently repeats on my side when it's set to only play once. Other than those issues I love the mic

  • CodyYoshida Cody (@CodyYoshida) reported

    So i've not been able to trade with any of my friends today in #Warcraft because it claims my account is a Free Trial account, despite the fact that i've had a subscription for half a month now. Why is this suddenly an issue @BlizzardCS?

  • djfxonitg David Frausto (@djfxonitg) reported

    @SwiftarHZN @HerokinRofocale @WarcraftDevs “It has resulted a disruption in service” you gotta any proof?

  • SwiftarHZN Swiftar (@SwiftarHZN) reported

    @djfxonitg @HerokinRofocale @WarcraftDevs Incorrect. All three have been DDoSd within the last four years. It has resulted in disruption of service. They have vastly more resources to divert their traffic as needed, though. But none of that prevents DDoS.

  • KnightHowler2 MAGEPOLICE (@KnightHowler2) reported

    @BenGrandblade But therein lies the issue - small scale conflicts at very loud volume are Warcrafts thing, but World of Warcraft doesn’t seem to grasp that - at least it appears that way when we get fantastic leads and small storylines that get dropped for another whack at 3/..

  • Ms_Sinclaire Princess Entrapta Sinclaire 🟨 🟥 | 🇵🇸 (@Ms_Sinclaire) reported

    @Warcraft what did you do to make EU servers lag this much lmao

  • Sawfty_ Ryan (@Sawfty_) reported

    @Sharvail @WarcraftDevs It really is amazing how many people with alts like us are just sitting out of the game until this is fixed, yet nothing is coming from the Devs to fix it. How odd!?!

  • repsej Jesper Brown (@repsej) reported

    @WarcraftDevs @BlizzardCSEU_EN re-add the layers to Gehennas EU ... unplayable .. the amount of lag

  • SensitiveFire Senfire (@SensitiveFire) reported

    @Warcraft @Blizzard_Ent Is anyone else getting an error 500 when trying to update subscription payment?
