  • NillsVan Nills Van Iseghem (@NillsVan) reported

    @BeIatar @Warcraft @BlizzardCSEU_EN I have the same problem I can't launch the game.

  • WillowCreativ Willow Creative (@WillowCreativ) reported

    @EDROXinc @Warcraft the leds arent the problem, the thin membrane, distance and light transmittance

  • AriesDragon1988 Highlord Aries Dragon 🏳️‍🌈 (@AriesDragon1988) reported

    The Invasions are literally all the same element right now. I have people in my guild having problems getting all the elements done @BlizzardCS @WarcraftDevs

  • ninjastylej J Uriarte (@ninjastylej) reported

    @lunaaureli @JohnnieVerton @Warcraft So what you wanna do is click next to the account selection thing and repair install. First it verifies the install and if it's fine it'll do nothing. If it's busted it'll fix it. Good luck

  • jDuffy1993 Joey Duffy (@jDuffy1993) reported

    @lunaaureli @Warcraft It's not uncommon for a few nobody's to struggle with basic level computer issues from time to time. Try Googling over crying in the wrong place.

  • Ciovala Ciovala (@Ciovala) reported

    @Warcraft Wish we could actually play it. So many stuck on ‘Waiting’ or ‘Initialising’ and the articles to fix it are just time wasters as I imagine it’s more related to the servers being overloaded.

  • MjikThize MjikThize - Warframe Content Creator - Coms Open (@MjikThize) reported

    @WillowCreativ @Warcraft Yes please. I've even got ideas to solve the glowing wings problem.

  • Schlaften Dean Winchester (@Schlaften) reported

    @WarcraftDevs why did everyone else get the sha of anger mount due to a glitch and now I can’t after the hot fix even though I’ve been grinding it for years?? Doesn’t sit well

  • OGPepperParish PepperParish (@OGPepperParish) reported

    @WarcraftDevs Any word on when we'll be about to enchant again? The prices are going up alarmingly high since people are flipping and taking advantage of it. Just a neat blue post or something to ackowledge the issue and that it's being worked on would be nice :)

  • MariaRetz1983 Maria Retz💙 gaming / singing / photography (@MariaRetz1983) reported

    @Warcraft Launcher doesn't work for me. Have updated drivers, restarted pc, reset ui (cache, interface, wtf folder deleted). I tried scan and repair, but it pops up with 'something went wrong when it gets to update' My friend has same problem

  • Roseylee1998 Vanessa (@Roseylee1998) reported

    @Warcraft that would be great if your players could actually login to play the event. and even those who can get in are having trouble doing the event because tag capping and severe lag. not to mention one of the invasion zones is bugged still

  • mikeclark1986 Michael Clark (@mikeclark1986) reported

    The @Warcraft servers are lagging so hard that my client that is usually just fine (240+FPS) is freezing and crashing when trying to exist to do the prepatch. Did y'all break the sharding again?

  • AndyDixonXXX Andy Dixon (@AndyDixonXXX) reported

    @Warcraft My wow story is having the mount I have spent a decade farming given out for free last night due to bug. Either change the drop rate going forward or remove the awards due to glitch. This is a huge demoralizing mistake weeks before expac. Fix this. #shaofangerindeed

    @MariaRetz1983 @Warcraft Yep, sadly the same issue here for me, as well as a few other people I play with. It's so crappy that there's always this issue whenever anything is released. 😞
