  • Sakresse
    Sakresse (@Sakresse) reported

    We're stuck on the quest "a temple in need" on Disciple Helene. She only shows the "friendly memories" and won't complete. We're at least 15 people in my spot with the same issue. Tried retaking the quest 5 times, tried disabling wm. Please help @BlizzardCSEU_EN @WarcraftDevs

    @Lhivera @Warcraft Lucky you. I am on a decent EU server but 3k queue, and 700 ms lag Normally i am at 75-90

    @Warcraft Would be nice to be able to login. Good thing they took extra time on the expac, really paid off.

    So 11 hours later and I am still playing. This was the most successful #worldofwarcraft expansion launch in my memory. Just a bit of lags at the very beginning, but quickly diminished within 10-15 minutes of playing. No disconnects, no login issues. Well done @Blizzard_Ent

    Whodisis (@Gnomsta) reported

    @Warcraft I don't normally complain but it's really annoying me to have to wait 20mins + to log in when I chose a quiet server to prevent this... then you merged us. Not at all happy. We knew this would be the result. did you? lag all day too

  • AndrewReise
    Andrew Reise (@AndrewReise) reported

    9 hour grind for Shadowlands launch. Sadly spent 2.5 hours trying to log in and the majority of the rest of the time with major lag. Still, successful launch, and having fun racing my guild for first to 60. Thank you for a great expansion @Warcraft

    @vamkittenBlaze @Warcraft People are dumb and entitled, they should be first in line because the pay a sub lol. no issues here though, I logged into a full server and played with zero problems.

  • TelecasterL

    @Warcraft Sorry for the bad experiences. I had none...a little lag. But it went smooth.

    @holinka @Warcraft Y’all knocked it our of the park this launch. Zul’jin was solid. Minimal lag. I didn’t have any issues. 10/10

    @WarcraftDevs "A temple in need" quest broken. Disciple Helene doesn't do anything after clicking on the things she summons. Lots standing around with same issue.

  • TheAustinNorman

    @WarcraftDevs It seems the covenant selection quest hotfix didn't work for most of my guild, still can't select a covenant, hoping reset will fix it?

  • Genomerio
    Yuri Tacher (@Genomerio) reported

    Kudos to @Warcraft For the first time in 16 years of WoW, I have not had login queues, lag, disconnects, etc from a expac launch.

  • Ants1988
    Ants (@Ants1988) reported

    @WarcraftDevs Hi. There seems to be an issue with the "A Temple in need" quest within Bastion. Aiding Disciple Fotima worked fine, "Aid Disciple Helena" appears to be bugged. I clicked on "How can i help" then her 4 burdens appeared, I clicked them and nothing else happened.

    TotalTilt (@Total_Tilt) reported

    After trying for about an hour to log onto my character on Area 52 I decided to play my Alliance Ret Pally on Kel Thuzad. Logged in and played for the rest of the evening without any issues! Got to level 55 and completed the Bastion area. #Shadowlands #worldofwarcraft

    Any World of Warcraft players here? I need a quick crash course for a painting I'm working on..

    @CenturyLink The night of the World of Warcraft Shadowlands launch and Century Link has a internet outage for going on 6 hours. Worst and very unreliable ISP.

    @Warcraft "Please fix A Temple in need quest in bastion"

  • TheNapTime
    Nathan (@TheNapTime) reported

    @KolbyPanda @Warcraft @BlizzardCS Overall it seems to have gone smooth if you were logged in and in place in advance of launch. There were issues leading up to launch with portals not working and logging into major cities giving world server down errors.

  • Innkeeps
    Innkeeper (@Innkeeps) reported

    @Tsepish @Warcraft I'm lucky that I was a able to take a good screen shot of about around level 40 in some semi matching gear in the login screen

    @WarcraftDevs Instant cast pyroblast is causing my game to freeze for 5-10 seconds, every time without fail. Not sure if anyone else had this issue, thought I'd let you guys know.

    @lights @Warcraft Fond memory is playing WoW with my IRL friends. I've plowed on through playing the content while they have all stopped and I don't plan on stopping now. However, while everyone is try to defeat the Login boss, I'm trying to defeat another boss.. bill(s). RIP

    Can't speak for others but the release was a smooth one in regards to overcrowding and lag. I experienced no issues whatsoever in those aspects. Well done @Warcraft @BlizzardCS #Warcraft
