Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • 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.

  • KillJoyDOD1 Kill Joy D. O. D. (@KillJoyDOD1) reported

    @Xbox Pay to play [online] SUCKS!!! It's the main reason I abandoned console gaming! It's the reason I've never even tried World Of Warcraft. Any game or service that requires pay to play will never get any money from me!!

  • atanae Atanae 💙 (@atanae) reported

    Did @warcraftdevs ever fix the bug where Malevolence on heroic only ticked for 18 seconds and not 21 seconds?

  • PatrikLiba1 Patrik Liba (@PatrikLiba1) reported

    @WarcraftDevs How dare you sell cosmetics on shop they literally AGAIN DISAPPEARED from my collection tab and untransmoged my character like wtf?????????????????????????????????????? I have them all except red helm when you will finally fix it ? Cost few hundred golds .

  • VanPalmerlin MeeN-MASTERP (@VanPalmerlin) reported

    @Fruggiee @Warcraft FFXIV doesn't have this problem of no context andies trying to get each other banned over made up stuff. thats why they won #BestCommunityEver and WoW didn't!

  • Mkaem1 🏳️‍🌈Matt | Thank You Endwalker🏳️‍🌈 (@Mkaem1) reported

    Imagine if Endwalker dropped &Alphinaud became super ******* buff & suddenly was a Warrior one shotting magitek with his giant axe. That's the level of stupidity of Anduin's 'transformation' starting with BfA. All to service this asinine Arthas comparison. #Warcraft #FFXIV

  • MysticalOS Adam (@MysticalOS) reported

    “Fixed an issue that prevented snowballs from being thrown at Baine Bloodhoof” What issue could one possibly have throwing a snowball at someone who’s sat in same spot doing nothing for over a year. 🤔 #Warcraft

  • MickahMickah Mickah (@MickahMickah) reported

    @plkatv @WarcraftDevs If you are talking about Legion one there is a bug as some in my party including me had the same issue. We got ours after we completed Legion m+. But the help you got - top notch.

  • 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

  • TwoChomz Chom (@TwoChomz) reported

    Anyone else having issues getting into world of warcraft? It keeps saying their servers aren't connected? This just happened on Tuesday too.

  • 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.

  • DieCookieElves DaBloodyNine (@DieCookieElves) reported

    @Warcraft plz fix the game…….

  • 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.

  • WhiteMageJenny Jennifer "Tiddy Claus" Knight (@WhiteMageJenny) reported

    Just told my GM of my old Wow Guild that I am never coming back and I uninstalled World of Warcraft and all other Blizzard games from my PC. Seeing how WoW handled its year long content drought vs how FFXIV is handling its issues made me realize Blizzard just doesn't care.

  • boldernowow bolderno (@boldernowow) reported

    @Refractxry @maro_wow @Warcraft if you really think nelf is not game breaking, then you're completely wrong right now. i 100% disagree with you. i have lost so many matches because of meld. a night elf druid/rogue is just completely broken. you can make so many plays both offensively, and defensively with nelf.

  • PsyMuppet PsyMuppet (@PsyMuppet) reported

    My #Warcraft next expansion wish list. Dragon Isle! Playable Dragon Race (pick any other race as main model with added dragon features (horns for example) Fix Healers if a class needs a addon to be usable by most people clearly an issue. And make them more fun for solo content.

  • madelyn4567 madelyn (@madelyn4567) reported

    @tersiahiggins @Warcraft I also experienced this, i contacted support service and they didn’t do anything about but @meta_support12 on Twitter helped me get regain access to my account.

  • thaurfea Robin 🖖🏻🕎🏳️‍🌈⚧☭ #BlackLivesMatter (@thaurfea) reported

    @plkatv @WarcraftDevs I love the "have you checked wowhead?" response. Yes, I did, and everyone who commented on the relevant pages is having the EXACT SAME ISSUE THAT'S WHY I OPENED A TICKET

  • Buzter6 Buzter115 (@Buzter6) reported

    @DrKushTV @Warcraft Best login screen, I remember just sitting there after I got kicked from AFK

  • zashea32 Feelsboostedman (@zashea32) reported

    @WarcraftDevs Day 106 of daily tweets to fix deathspike legendary bugs. Plz, necro rogue will be unplayable in 9.2 otherwise. The main issue is the extra spike does not refund a charge when it should! There are other bugs but that is the main one.

  • 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.

  • 3rd_coming Axxemann (@3rd_coming) reported

    @Nachtschrecken @Warcraft Pretty sure it doesnt work Just like blizzard So get the goblins to fix both Then fire the big *** gun

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 --

  • 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"

  • Kinety3 Kinety (@Kinety3) reported

    @ElliottVenczel @Warcraft I don't see why it would be a problem. Pretty much already in the game with Mercenary mode. And lore wise both ally and horde characters have worked together in arena battles in the past.

  • Jcrux92 Big Hat Logan (@Jcrux92) reported

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

  • 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

  • SwarmofMudkipz hera (@SwarmofMudkipz) reported

    @Warcraft Can you do something about the extremely low population on the som servers? It's not me being pessimistic it's an issue that's basically caused my whole guild to quit and go so something else because the endgame just isn't there.
