  • ncksol Nick Sologoub 我学习汉语 (@ncksol) reported

    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

  • TheAustinNorman SlurpyRamen 🍁 (@TheAustinNorman) reported

    @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?

  • 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

  • lucifa42 Lucifa (@lucifa42) reported

    @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.

  • Aethelbeorn Matt Dunster (@Aethelbeorn) reported

    @BlizzardCS What did everyone think was going to happen , blizz cannot have an expansion launch without the same issues as before. it's all part of the Warcraft experience you pay for 🤠

  • 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.

  • aussie_eevee AussieEevee (@aussie_eevee) reported

    lol... I had less trouble running @Warcraft when I was running Linux... now i'm back on Windows (temporarily) and Warcraft is giving me no end of trouble.

  • TwistAndShout47 Shadow Heart Vespasian. (@TwistAndShout47) reported

    @Warcraft is they a way to retrieve characters? I ask because I'm thinking of getting back into WoW but my hunter is on my old pc so I know I'll have to buy the game again but I'm hoping I can retrieve them and speaking of I've forgotten the login details as well.

  • 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

  • stromberg_linus Linus Strömberg (@stromberg_linus) reported

    @WatcherDev @Warcraft Still having issues with joining a covenant... Fix incoming????

  • Jayzero06 Jayzero06 (@Jayzero06) reported

    @Warcraft @WoWDevs Please. A temple in Need is broken. We can't progress

  • Joreftw Jore (@Joreftw) reported

    @Warcraft Picking a covenant in Shadowlands is still an issue, can't pick one even after hotfix..

  • wewenethiwa Wewenethiwa (@wewenethiwa) reported

    @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.

  • yonatvaks Yonat Vaks (@yonatvaks) reported

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

  • Gnomsta 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

  • noxymage Noxy (@noxymage) reported

    @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.

  • GotSnipes_ED Gotsnipes_WSB (@GotSnipes_ED) reported

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

  • babsbennett TXRedTurningTXBlue (@babsbennett) reported

    @Warcraft Huh, I got on with no problem about 6 hours ago. I even logged off and then back on an hour later. Servers were up and running fine.

  • KolbyPanda 𝓚𝓸𝓵𝓫𝔂𝓟𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓪™🍩 (@KolbyPanda) reported

    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

  • patrick_roles Pat (@patrick_roles) reported

    @Warcraft Launch was SMOOTH AF I didn’t even have any lag.. y’all people on full realms should know better.

  • nurgsz Nurgsz (@nurgsz) reported

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

  • TelecasterL Telecaster_Love (@TelecasterL) reported

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

  • Philzzak 🇮🇪 Philzzak 🎮 (@Philzzak) reported

    @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

  • Total_Tilt 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

  • spikeenick Nick Uttley (@spikeenick) reported

    @MrGMYT @Warcraft @Kexman Had the same issue. Too old for this now XD

  • NecridWarlord André (@NecridWarlord) reported

    @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.

  • 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

  • bored__soul jm (@bored__soul) reported
