World of Warcraft Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Spankyhunter Richard (spankyhunter) (@Spankyhunter) reported

    @Sawfty_ @WarcraftDevs What's the story behind it? Is it in the same place just phased for each player? Cost? How to add without being the lagfest disaster that come with new content, shadowlands was unplayable for the first few months with constant dc's & loot lag for my medium pop server.

  • optimarse Opti (@optimarse) reported

    @TouchpadWarrior @Warcraft @BlizzardCS Yeah I had the same issue today. Was the bell for a mate on his mage, but when I logged onto my druid in Balance spec it was the healing trinket

  • BigJessT Jesse Taylor (@BigJessT) reported from Birmingham, Alabama

    Saying all this knowing World of Warcraft has problems. For all the hype I've seen about FFXIV and about how much @SquareEnix loves their fans, they missed me with 25 minutes of marvel and more mobile sell outs.

  • WndrBreadJerome Paul Nolan (@WndrBreadJerome) reported

    @kythlyn @Diablo That’s fine, I’ve been a fan since Lost Vikings and Rock N Roll Racing, but point is this isn’t the Blizzard account. You’re asking the Diablo account to fix Warcraft 3. Like a broken pencil, it’s pointless. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Rickyross_FB rickyross (@Rickyross_FB) reported

    @Warcraft @WarcraftDevs @BlizzardCS is there an issue with in game mail? I sent several messages with stacks of mats to a guildie and after a number of hours he still has not received the mail... tried sending another item and still nothing...

  • JB4TSJK John Baker (@JB4TSJK) reported

    @Warcraft you’ve got a massive problem with Prot Pally threat in WoW TBC Classic. Something broke in the last day or two and Consecrate sometimes not generating threat. Some reports of other Holy spells also having issue. People have posted in bug reports on WoW Classic forum

  • Dark_Firebrand Firebrand (@Dark_Firebrand) reported

    Very much had the urge to play Final Fantasy this morning. @finalfantasyxvi won’t let me log in and don’t own a PS5 for @finalfantasyvii - due to supply issues. Guess I’ll just have to go play @Warcraft.

  • brayanyepz brayanyepz (@brayanyepz) reported

    @victor19rivero 1- Crash 2- Counter 1.6 3- FIFA 09 4- Warcraft 3 5- Wow

  • TheToblin Toblin (CD10) (@TheToblin) reported

    Ok, look, I know it doesn't have mainstream appeal, and no one hates ActiBlizz more for what they've butchered the WoW lore into. But...the #Warcraft movie wasn't bad. It was, in fact, hella good! Does it have pacing problems? Sure! But the overall feel is still AMAZING.

  • atanae Atanae (@atanae) reported

    @T_Ray10 @Sawfty_ @WarcraftDevs It’s been the problem with the game since Mists. Blizzard broke the world in Cata by not making the early zones evergreen. They got “bit” as a result, so now they zero out the game every expansion, throwing decades of world away.

  • VoljinThoughts Tom Conway (@VoljinThoughts) reported

    Man if #Blizzard just released new raids and dungeons and new pvp maps for #worldofwarcraft instead of crazy stupid systems nobody wants that are full of issues and taking 7 month breaks between content patches for their 120 dollar expansion, we wouldn't be flocking to #FFXIV

  • Marwanalmarri shanabeardtv (@Marwanalmarri) reported

    @Warcraft @WarcraftDevs can you please fix the BG queue issue on horde side in EU? Implement double honor for horde to be able to catch up or just add a mercenary NPC like in retail to queue as alliance - it’s unfair that alliance get 1 minute wait times but we are minimum 40 min

  • SkyGradient1 Sky Gradient (@SkyGradient1) reported

    despite how it sounds I think bailing out of the current #Warcraft timeline is probably the best option. Replace the leadership of the game, remake it like #FFXIV did from 1.0 to 2.0. We have the technology, we can fix this :)

  • THEFR1ENDLYFISH mike lester (@THEFR1ENDLYFISH) reported

    @Warcraft @WarcraftDevs horde pvp is a joke in tbc classic, sitting in a queue for 1.10 hr to get stomped by a ally premade, knowing that you have to do this multiple times to get 1 piece of blue pvp gear. fix the queue times, make it so horde can fight horde, will fix this

  • SRPeel SRPeel (@SRPeel) reported

    @porkchophawaii everything was fine, I would play Warcraft daily, we had an active guild, no problems…..then I have a teeny, tiny stroke and miss a few months recovering and it all goes to hell. No game anymore, guild gone, nothing but problems. What ********?

  • Jimusah Jim (@Jimusah) reported

    @MrGMYT @Warcraft 7.3 was king for me. Legion was peak fun class design for the classes I played, farmable legendaries was sick (one of the biggest issues with the xpac before), best dungeons to this date, pvp was great.

  • AmazingDogBear TK (@AmazingDogBear) reported

    @Warcraft FIX Shadowland!!!

  • ZatharoZ ZatharoZ (@ZatharoZ) reported

    @Warcraft There so many bugs in shadowlands... FIX IT and leave classic! Focus on the main game please thanks! I lvling a new alt and lvling it with threads of fate. Completed 3 of the 5 campaign quests and the 2 others wont show up!

  • Lucaluca2991 Lewka (@Lucaluca2991) reported

    @Warcraft Yeah I get that it's a meme or whatever at this point with the Felreaver, but have you guys considered less on self promotion through ads, and maybe focusing more on social issues within your ranks and the community itself, be less scummy? Focus money on developing the game?

  • Yodairish Naitro (@Yodairish) reported

    The modern #wow has tons of problems, but I believe there are 2 core issues: 1) they lost their identity. They're trying to sit on two chairs - competitive (esport) and casual players, and as results ruined the game for both @WarcraftDevs

  • rolfevaughn Dumpsterrat (@rolfevaughn) reported

    @ElliottVenczel @WarcraftDevs I'm done with the game. I can't... I can't be asked to constantly beg for changes to make it enjoyable. Whether its retail or classic it's all the same a broken mess that has easy fixes the never get fixed or talked about until the next broken mess gets shipped out.

  • Sawfty_ Ryan (@Sawfty_) reported

    @Spankyhunter @WarcraftDevs Yes, for Anarchy Online (15yrs ago), it was an instanced house (though there were actual housing areas, it wasn’t just one) and never had any lag issues. Cost wasn’t nothing, but it was very reasonable.

  • bswagz88 Brandon 🦅🩹 (@bswagz88) reported

    Going back through #Legion to get class mounts just highlights how incredibly broken that expansion was and STILL is. Bug after bug, particularly for Druids. And then once I unlock Lunarwing, I have to visit a barber to apply it? Wtf? @Warcraft @WarcraftDevs @WatcherDev

  • Novalene3 Novalene (@Novalene3) reported

    @ZatharoZ @Warcraft I'm not a Blizz dev but I can nearly guarantee there are 2 separate teams working on the 2 different games, leaving classic isnt going to help fix retail any faster. Though what can help is reporting bugs.

  • ZatharoZ ZatharoZ (@ZatharoZ) reported

    @taymoo7 More bugs! Damm there so many bugs in wow..... pffff @Warcraft FIX THIS!

  • Dave_Hillier5 Dave (@Dave_Hillier5) reported

    @PoorlyTimedGame In terms of bugs, blocking ramps in brood war with a single dragoon due to its "pathing issues" feature would be Warcraft 3 and clicking on critters on the map until they explode

  • TheYoonz Yoonz (@TheYoonz) reported

    @Elyndrys @Warcraft You people are having trouble amongst themselves due to resulting drama, it is because: 1. Lack of compromise. 2. Lack of communication. 3. 'my way or the high way'-mentality. 4. Condescending behaviour as portrayed above. I could keep going but I cannot take you seriously.

  • Night_ED Night (@Night_ED) reported

    @Warcraft Fix druid energy

  • Novalene3 Novalene (@Novalene3) reported

    @Warcraft I absolutely love what you did with this! Also to all those people complaining about nothing to do in retail, dont just complain, go put suggestions on the forum!! Because complaining without trying to help fix something is just whining.

  • kzei_ zenjo ◡̈ (@kzei_) reported

    why do my parents think I know how to fix computers/edit videos/use photoshop/etc just because I play World of Warcraft
