World of Warcraft Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • HaguPally Hagu Pally (@HaguPally) reported

    @PersephonaeTTV @WarcraftDevs Why fix ore not herbs? Upon reflection,I think you are getting at a more fundamental issue: devs need to compare,catch-up & going forward, professions relative to one another. To me, TotT felt like they were designed by different devs who never had to reconcile their designs.

    @Kwepp @noodledkx @WarcraftDevs Chill streak is BROKEN!!!!!! 😱😱😱🤡🤡🤡😱😱😱😱🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

  • StagnBlaeberry Lewis (@StagnBlaeberry) reported

    Look this Warcraft copium is ridiculous. Not all of the story telling problems are even linked Sylvanas. Sylvanas had nothing to do with N'zoth and it was handled terribly. Serious levels of copium.

  • HumzaTime Samanosuke (@HumzaTime) reported

    @NumbertwoTV @Tylyrystrasz @Warcraft That’s me…what’s your problem?

  • kompreya Femmet-Selch 🌼 (@kompreya) reported

    @adam_zandarski @BellularGaming @Warcraft "Most people aren't good enough" sounds like a problem with game design, not the players.

  • AramyxTalks Aramyx (@AramyxTalks) reported

    @Warcraft One day, they should fix Maiev's model with a proper helm like the WC3 one, not a bucket.

  • ZensunimWoW Zensunim (@ZensunimWoW) reported

    @lametart_pr @DeadByBHVR You mean that concept World of Warcraft has had since 2011 that could help fix the queue times? Considering that you can't even read the tome lore while waiting in queue, this is probably just way too hard for them. The lobby code is probably written in the plague's language.

  • KassKeelhaul Keelhaul💙🌱 (@KassKeelhaul) reported

    Something I think needs to be said. The problem with speculating about older Warcraft lore is that those stories were written by people who no longer work at Blizzard, and the current writers aren't fans of Warcraft's older lore. So it will never come up unless retconned.

  • thundahstahm Thundahstahm 🌧 🌩 (@thundahstahm) reported

    Is it a known problem that people in Epic BGs just go offline? We had like 19 people at one point in this AV. #Warcraft #worldofwarcraft

  • Mystaleon Mystaleon (@Mystaleon) reported

    @daisichu @WarcraftDevs you should try to upgrade your boyfriend to one who doesn't play a Ret Paladin, and your problems would be solved until the next expansion when that persons class feels nerfed. xD

  • CeciiBR Cecii (@CeciiBR) reported

    @xerwo @WarcraftDevs Just tell them to reroll - problem solved!

  • Revololwarrior Revo 🤬 (@Revololwarrior) reported

    @Dovaxgg @WarcraftDevs Ye ik but this is breaking arena NOW and has been, very worthy of a hot fix imo

  • David75605212 DNAngel (@David75605212) reported

    @JezCorden They need to fix WarCraft III: Reforged! @Blizzard_Ent

  • vaaniellis Vᐰniellis (@vaaniellis) reported

    @MrGMYT My biggest hope would be for them to finally fix Warcraft III Reforged and add the still missing features.

  • JrCmdr Cmdr_B_Hawkins_Jr (@JrCmdr) reported

    @_zohhak @BellularGaming @Warcraft Yeah, too reminiscent of when they tell you to go to wowhead to find a fix to something.

  • Naguura Naguura (@Naguura) reported

    @Revololwarrior @WarcraftDevs This legendary is also incredibly OP in pve so I assume they'll fix it

  • sharptweetz Sharp (@sharptweetz) reported

    @WarcraftDevs I cannot even express how angry this makes me. How can you ignore a problem for so many years??? 24 people sitting for 30 minutes just waiting.... where is the solution for this?? @Qwik @WatcherDev

  • atanae Atanae 💙 (@atanae) reported

    The problem I have with this narrative is that Warcraft is an expensive IP - I can’t imagine one person unilaterally making decisions that would jeopardize the IP as much as those in BfA did. It raises so many questions.

  • JohnersTV Johners (@JohnersTV) reported

    @BellularGaming At this stage they should just go back to the drawing board and make a new Warcraft MMO. Retcon tons of lore, even things like AU Draenor is kinda dumb, and fix core design issues at the same time. It’ll take several expansions to correct these issues, why not just start again?

  • ianmartyuwu IanMarty (@ianmartyuwu) reported

    @Warcraft All mogs are good mogs, but they would be even better if you fix orc shoulders :)

  • AjAmselem AJ Amselem (@AjAmselem) reported

    @Riokaii @Wowhead @WarcraftDevs a proper fix would have been to add them to current raid bosses but w/e 🤷

  • o87duke o87duke ⬛🟧 (@o87duke) reported

    @WarcraftDevs @Asmongold @Warcraft can you imagine to pay for some service and that that service blackmail you trough the service, it's sad. I'm paying to be blackmailed.

  • Revololwarrior Revo 🤬 (@Revololwarrior) reported

    @Dovaxgg @WarcraftDevs Ik you’re a boomy main and I feel for you that it was not that good before this, but kindred is v broken lol

  • SosWalters Michael Walters (@SosWalters) reported

    @EllesmereGaming @jdotb @WarcraftDevs All for mana being a non-factor in m+ but at this point why not just aura buff mana regen in dungeons by 50-100% if they don’t want it to ever be an issue. We’ll have had healer mana bandaid fixed in m+ by affixes for the entire xpac.

  • Dovaxgg Dovax (@Dovaxgg) reported

    @Revololwarrior @WarcraftDevs Yes but they wont fix anything now because they prepare for new patch that should hit soonish.... and even that is not even close to be done. Its op but not game breaking so they wont fix it. Look at ur warrior breaking ppl in half for a year now and no changes still. Sadly

  • WardenRaintree Kyalin Raintree (@WardenRaintree) reported

    So, to summarize. The problem with the faction war isn't that it exists. It is, in Warcraft: a) It destroys investment and player choice - in conflict with the needs of an MMO, and b) It's linear and anticompetitive - in conflict with the needs of PVP. (18)

  • Riokaii Riokaii (@Riokaii) reported

    @mrlachyg @Wowhead @WarcraftDevs Yep that's the one, such a slog. People not in-the-know are trying to queue lfr CN sire instead. The problem doesn't have to exist.

  • samurai3434 mark campbell (@samurai3434) reported

    @jdotb @EllesmereGaming @WarcraftDevs Sounds like a healer problem... ;)

  • Kumoii_ Kumoii (@Kumoii_) reported

    @Warcraft can you PLEASE nerf Hunters in PVP. Literally, takes NO skill. Requires NO brain activity to play. And it's literally THEE most broken spec within PVP

  • MrUppercut923 Mr. Uppercut923 (@MrUppercut923) reported

    @lemonadepikachu Darn I missed this while I was waiting for my charger. But yeah I think this buy out will be an amazing thing and I won't feel guilty of liking Crash, Spyro, or World of Warcraft.
