World of Warcraft Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Kick_Puncher_ KickPuncher (@Kick_Puncher_) reported

    @MeggiLizReal @tg_nash215 @CloverWzy Tbh I call this the Blizzard Balance problem. Back when pvp launched in world of warcraft, they didn't consider balance at all. The backlash was so huge that they got into a cycle of buffing some classes and nerfing others, just based on how long they'd been meta

  • djfennixqt WoW Developer (@djfennixqt) reported

    @Ratapai_ Hey Ratapai! Just want to let you know that us @WarcraftDevs addressed this issue and have it fixed now! We made working cubicles for woman a lot taller. Now they can't see any naked drunk games the man employees do! Win-win, hope that satisfies you also!

  • RavLolTV Rav (@RavLolTV) reported

    @TheRealDid_ @TheGlacierr I played world of Warcraft for 10 years and had less problems with their community over that entire period than I do every 30 minutes in league

  • balanira_ vala (@balanira_) reported

    @Iliriel227 @Asmongold @WarcraftDevs The reason im worried is class balance Without MASSIVE overhaul current iteration of DH is WAY too good in both PvE and PvP and no number tuning would never fix that No class in classic does not have stuff like chaos brand, darkness, etc for example.

  • ReigTempest Reig (@ReigTempest) reported

    @Warcraft hey are the servers having issues or something. I keep getting kicked off the game server and then it won't log back In it just stays on the lllogging into game server screen making me cancel and retry to reload the game again

  • toalephnull ToAlephNull (@toalephnull) reported

    @emeelzia @Wiispen @WarcraftDevs Orrrrrrrr you could consider not getting triggered so easily, lol. This is really your problem to deal with, not his. it’s a running joke. Calm tf down. You’re the least fun type of person on the internet.

  • TheNenus Nenus (@TheNenus) reported

    @chrissyxchi @Warcraft If M+ was added in WoD people would think different, those dungeons would be so freaking fun to do as m+, I hope they add past dungeons to m+ rotations at some point in the future, I don't think It's so hard to balance and fix things for this, it's faster than a new dg at least

  • toys_too Adults Have Toys Too (@toys_too) reported

    @shiny_tech @intel I've experienced Persona 4 Golden glitches to an unplayable amount and World of Warcraft has annoying text glitches throughout, both have lengthy threads on Intel's support page. I read that warthunder and Star Craft 2 have issues and I'm sure there are others.

  • DannyMacFinn DannyMacFinn (@DannyMacFinn) reported

    How the hell has there not been a good fantasy film since Lord of the Rings?!?! Every streaming service conflates sci-fi and superhero movies with fantasy. There's the Hobbit, then Warcraft, but thats it. Where's all the good fantasy at?!

  • KevinShaman Kevin (@KevinShaman) reported

    @AnthonyAvonArt Dude, come on. How are you not working there I don't ******* understand. @BlizzardCS @Warcraft

  • SocialEnThought . (@SocialEnThought) reported

    @31diabl0 @Asmongold @WarcraftDevs Its not that they dont know how to challenge the bot problem. The bot problem makes them money as the bot users pay for the boost so they can get to farming faster. Inspect any bot 9 times outta 10 they are in full communal boosted gear.

  • Nibsu95 Nibsu (@Nibsu95) reported

    @Asmongold @WarcraftDevs There should also be better server stability or whatever to make it so there can be a lot of ppl in the same zone or you can kill world bosses without the game lagging. No sharding and realm visits like in ffxiv would also be cool.

  • NeoFelix2017 Felix Berdeja (@NeoFelix2017) reported

    @chrissyxchi @Warcraft It would have been, if Blizzard hadn't made those cuts, the garrison and the S.E.L.F.I.E. it would have been less of a problem.

  • Iliriel227 Slania (@Iliriel227) reported

    @balanira_ @Asmongold @WarcraftDevs I dont see the issue. I think it would be really cool to see what a classic version of DH might have looked like. no fel rush, maybe demons bite stacks up a personal sunder armor that is consumed on the next chaos strike? I would be interested.

  • KatabolicLive Katabolic (@KatabolicLive) reported

    @Asmongold @WarcraftDevs This is retail. I don't trust Blizzard to make these changes correctly. That's the issue. It would be retail 2 and fail.

  • Ketsuki_WoW Ketsuki @ Wowhead 💙 (@Ketsuki_WoW) reported

    @Squishei @WarcraftDevs @WatcherDev Was the same issue for us on Sire. Its upsetting this is continuing to become a trend now.

  • carlierae26 Someone, somwhere (@carlierae26) reported

    @jorial892 @DesMephisto @WarcraftDevs God no. The lag alone...

  • carlierae26 Someone, somwhere (@carlierae26) reported

    @OphoisSon @Wowhead @WarcraftDevs And yet the majority still plays with no issues. Therefore, the real issue is you.

  • LeagueofDevack Yuunala (18+) (@LeagueofDevack) reported

    @chrissyxchi @Warcraft WoD was a fine expansion. The only issues were the extensive cut content and then the whiplash that was the 6.2 changes (It was supposed to be Grommash as the expansion final boss) that lead to one of the longest content droughts in the game's history.

  • togreglove FinneasAF (@togreglove) reported

    @critters439 @Asmongold @WarcraftDevs On a 6-12 month cycled server, the economy will not be an issue

  • Nikotoh Niko (@Nikotoh) reported

    @Asmongold @WarcraftDevs WoW 2 will fix it for sure 100%

  • BigBiffyB Dylan (@BigBiffyB) reported

    @Squishei @WarcraftDevs @WatcherDev It's not just mythic btw, Heroic Sylv is also miserable on Tuesdays. Multiple bridge falls, Rives telegraph de-sync'd from the damage event, input lag, etc.

  • balanira_ vala (@balanira_) reported

    @Iliriel227 @Asmongold @WarcraftDevs The reason im worried is class balance Without MASSIVE overhaul current iteration of DH is WAY too good in both PvE and PvP and no, number tuning would never fix that No class in classic does have stuff like chaos brand, darkness, etc for example.

  • Squishei Squishei (@Squishei) reported

    @WarcraftDevs @WatcherDev Every Tuesday during Prime Time, Mythic Sylvanas is basically unpullable for some players due to insane input lag.

  • AleksandarOliv1 Aleksandar (@AleksandarOliv1) reported

    @Asmongold @WarcraftDevs They need to fix retail too, it's unplayable, it's boring, it's gray and ugly I expected more, it's disappointing how bad retail Is. :(

  • OphoisSon karim nawar (@OphoisSon) reported

    @Wowhead @WarcraftDevs would it butt hurt if you sit down with streamers and hired community manager to fix the game Clearly the team is in denial. **** the systems.

  • Barkwinter Barkwinter (@Barkwinter) reported

    @Wowhead They'll fix a ******* issue that affects literally one spec on one class with Shard of Zed. But not the ******* world lag in Korthia and in the raid instance. Literally ******* why @Warcraft @WarcraftDevs?

  • OphoisSon karim nawar (@OphoisSon) reported

    @Lepandk @WarcraftDevs The fact they aren't communicating and hiding is the biggest problem and I don't understand why And how hard It's to talk

  • how2pingu Pingu (@how2pingu) reported

    @Squishei @WarcraftDevs @WatcherDev It's not only on Tuesdays either! Was having awful lag pulling mythic sylvanas this past Sunday and Monday. Affected the vast majority of our raid.
