    @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

  • NerdRooted 🏹 Sar 🏹 (@NerdRooted) reported

    Holy **** @Warcraft, the game is becoming unplayable now with the constant lag. Taking 2 minutes to loot corpses...

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • andrej925 Skeezz (@andrej925) reported

    @WarcraftDevs Draenor EU is lagging pls help

  • Aura_Rune ✨GrandMaster Aura Rune✨ (@Aura_Rune) reported

    I hope this isn’t just me, but is anyone else having issues logging into World of Warcraft right after the newest patch? The Loading progress bar is full, I’ve just been sitting here for about 10 minutes with nothings happening... #worldofwarcraft #Shadowlands

  • yonatvaks Yonat Vaks (@yonatvaks) reported

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

  • lucrowee pup🐾 (@lucrowee) reported

    @Warcraft Oribos to Maldraxxas flight path is broken, character fell and I can't use them anymore.

  • RogueConnoisse1 Rogue Connoisseur (@RogueConnoisse1) reported

    @_RalphCooper_ @holinka @Warcraft In my 15 years this is the LEAST hyped I have been. They did so little to act on feedback and fix the Rogue class. What happened to "the great unpruning" ? None of my favorite Rogue buttons were brought back.

  • keoatn (@keoatn) reported

    @NecridWarlord @vamkittenBlaze @Warcraft me 2!!! not even any lag in SW or oribos for me

  • 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.

  • RogueConnoisse1 Rogue Connoisseur (@RogueConnoisse1) reported

    @RiotAzael @holinka @Warcraft I'm not. I don't recognize anything about the Rogue that I loved for 15 years and invested hundreds of days /played. I feel nothing except sadness and grief and trauma. I want to play with all of my friends but just looking at my character on login screen fills me with sadness.

  • _cavenaghi_ Cavenaghi (@_cavenaghi_) reported

    Plan to fix Draenor server in this century ? @WarcraftDevs

  • 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.

  • Orlilover4 Orlilover4 🏳️‍🌈✊ (@Orlilover4) reported

    @Warcraft Me and my partner are not able to log back into the server Dreanor, the server stands on grey. Is there any way to fix this? #Shadowlands

  • Quest_Over Quest_Over (@Quest_Over) reported

    So after waiting 2 hours to login last night and playing through the new expansion I was greeted by only seeing 4 other players until I logged off at 3 am and today before work I logged on for a couple of hours and only saw one other player ? #Warcraft #Shadowlands

  • bored__soul jm (@bored__soul) reported

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

  • Junk93Junk Davide (@Junk93Junk) reported

    @Warcraft Can't log in on Draenor server. Fix it because we pay for play this game

  • 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

  • Joreftw Jore (@Joreftw) reported

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

  • 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.

  • AlchrizTv Alchriz (@AlchrizTv) reported

  • GoobleGaming GoobleGaming (@GoobleGaming) reported from Copenhagen, Region Hovedstaden

    @WilllCousins @WarcraftDevs Ya tried that. Still error message

  • TelecasterL Telecaster_Love (@TelecasterL) reported

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

  • Raspberriesx H. Wikström (@Raspberriesx) reported

    Wonder why this lag still, after 17h still consist. But you wanna remove the pvp gear because of a bug? We're not gonna be able to wear the pvp gear if your servers stay this instable. @Warcraft @BlizzardCSEU_EN @Blizzard_Ent

  • 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.

  • RogueConnoisse1 Rogue Connoisseur (@RogueConnoisse1) reported

    @_RalphCooper_ @holinka @Warcraft I played a Rogue for 15 years and hundreds of days /played. Yet today I no longer feel any connection to the class. My heart is broken.
