World of Warcraft Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • RaunchyForbs Boris The Belieeeever (@RaunchyForbs) reported

    @WarcraftDevs Great job putting the opening event in the same zone as the world boss because the crippling server lag wasn't already bad enough

  • GuilleRaulQT GuilleRaulQT (@GuilleRaulQT) reported

    @Warcraft Please fix the quest "The Battle of Anderweald"

  • dospoy Occupational_Hazard (@dospoy) reported

    @WarcraftDevs the server lag is out of control. Guess ill try tomorrow because if I get DCd in the Ardenweald scenario and makes me start over again im going to cry

  • gr33nzo Vic (@gr33nzo) reported

    9.1 impressions so far: ✅ Story ✅ Cinematics ✅ New zone ✅ Mounts in the Maw ❌ Crazy lag ❌ Random disconnects #Warcraft #Shadowlands

  • Balasarius John Jeffrey (@Balasarius) reported

    @WarcraftDevs You guys realize we worship the Vault right? Anduin? The Jailer? Sylvanus? None of these people matter. The only thing that matters is the ONLY SOURCE OF GEAR UPGRADES IN THE GAME. And that's the ALMIGHTY VAULT. It's the FIRST PLACE everyone goes first as soon as they login.

  • alardiians Revo Alardiians (@alardiians) reported

    @DenvenJWZ @Warcraft You're not missing out on anything with this crazy lag fest

  • failsafe0x1 Panda0x01 (@failsafe0x1) reported

    @Warcraft Maybe fix your servers.

  • skyriderlink KYT (@skyriderlink) reported

    @Warcraft literally unplayable lag, well i shouldn't expect much from indie developers like blizzard to launch smth smoothly

  • godlygamer911 NoRerolls (@godlygamer911) reported

    @WarcraftDevs @BlizzardCS So many people crying about the lag... is this ya'lls first patch?

  • Steph_NStuff Stephanie (@Steph_NStuff) reported

    The Patch Day lag is real… #Warcraft #WorldOfWarcraft #ChainsOfDomination

  • mathparizotto Matheus Parizotto (@mathparizotto) reported

    @WarcraftDevs In-game lag is disgusting.. i can't even finish the scenario... seriously guys, this is embarrasing

  • CuppCakeGaming Chris Cupp (CuppCake) (@CuppCakeGaming) reported

    @Warcraft @WarcraftDevs Holy wow. I have been on Stage 6 of this scenario for 10 minutes. Flayedwing died once. Tried again... no slimes registering to hit because of the LAG. How do you keep ******* up launches this bad? No wonder the content creators started trying other games.

  • ArjayMarc bottom_butt (@ArjayMarc) reported

    @Warcraft Terrible lag unplayable sad

  • algendros Algendros (@algendros) reported

    @Warcraft 5 minutes fithing a mob with auto attacks(I'm shaman) lag in ardenweald it's awful

  • efleforte 🇨🇦Eileen🇨🇦 (@efleforte) reported

    Oh yay, got to play about 10 minutes of @Warcraft before problems and they take stuff offline. Does this stuff show up in Beta? Do you not anticipate problems? #Warcraft #chainsofdomination

  • gaymermage MeidasMighty - Matt 🏳️‍🌈💉💉 (@gaymermage) reported

    Not particularly enjoying the new patch @BlizzardCS and @Warcraft. The lag causes quests to be buggy and auto-attacks are more frequent than any normal spell. But I'm sure nobody could have foreseen a surge in online activity when you extend maintenance time on a major patch.🙄

  • Sereannon Sereannon is in the Shadowlands (@Sereannon) reported

    Have to love when the story and feel of an epic battle gets ruined by buggy gameplay. No idea why the Battle for Ardenweald is an issue but I can't kill mobs but mobs can kill me. Three attempts so far. My latency is green so WTF is the problem? #Warcraft

  • CuppCakeGaming Chris Cupp (CuppCake) (@CuppCakeGaming) reported

    @WarcraftDevs I mean, at least I was able to log on. But, please explain HOW a solo scenario has 30+ seconds of lag. My eyebeam is coming off CD as the system registers it keyed. Great job stress testing.

  • Steph_NStuff Stephanie (@Steph_NStuff) reported

    Holy ****. I expected there to be lag since it’s patch day, but the game is completely unplayable rn… #Warcraft #WorldOfWarcraft

  • xHiddenShadow xHiddenShadow (@xHiddenShadow) reported

    @WarcraftDevs Can you guys please upgrade your servers so that when a major patch goes through the game can actually be playable and not just lag so hard. guess ill just go to FF cus they have great servers that dont lag

  • hungbp Jammin (@hungbp) reported

    @Warcraft completely unplayable. 10-30 second lag. Venture into combat and probably wake up spirit running. Honestly, Blizz had such a good track record leading up to this patch.

  • HIEROPHANT331 HIEROPHANT33 (@HIEROPHANT331) reported

    @Warcraft To much lag aredenwealld battle keeps restting afte you tag sylvanis. Unplayable atm.

  • monkey12_evil EvilMonkey12 (@monkey12_evil) reported

    @Warcraft I am going to take the night off... It's lagging too much and it took me 3 tries to even get into ardenweald

  • SReece1998 Sean Reece (@SReece1998) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @Warcraft Fix your servers so we can actually play the video game. This happens on EVERY content drop

  • Steph_NStuff Stephanie (@Steph_NStuff) reported

    Patch 9.1: The Lag of **********. #Warcraft #WorldOfWarcraft

  • malucellichris1 Fallout43DR (@malucellichris1) reported

    @Chaotichamster @WarcraftDevs @BlizzardCS What that’s crazy they punished you because they have a broken game???? That’s not cool at all blizzard…

  • nai1_gun ǸȃîĽ¯ĢŭП 💣 (@nai1_gun) reported

    @Warcraft Can’t complete the scenario cause of lag, so no can do

  • FightLikeGast0n FightsLikeGaston (@FightLikeGast0n) reported

    First time I've ever Alt F4'd World of Warcraft because of lag. Literally unplayable. I know everyone's getting on right now and playing, but I'm not going to waste my time right now.

  • SteveBring Steve Lee (@SteveBring) reported

    @apinksquash @KiaOraBrough @WarcraftDevs How did they fix the problem back then? Reset the loot generation or correct the individual item reward?

  • anonymouspaul07 Anonymous Paul (@anonymouspaul07) reported

    @RickLehman12 That amazingly hasn’t happened to me. I did once have to ask a doctor to stop playing World of Warcraft so I could fix his ability to take x-rays
