  • moonbas3 Ryan C. Moon (@moonbas3) reported

    It is an interesting human phenomena watching the @warcraft outage and various people accusing them of bias towards some region or faction.. "US is fine but EU is screwed" (while they are both down).. "Horde is fine, but Ally is screwed" (which makes no sense..)

  • AstariDarkspear AstariThePriest (@AstariDarkspear) reported

    @Warcraft @PreachGaming FIX THE GAME

  • PaulDavy177 Paul (@PaulDavy177) reported

    @WarcraftDevs You might want to fix your login / hosting servers BEFORE release day.... 1 hour unable to go to the Dragonflight expantion and now Perma DC'ed? come on... I didn't pay for crash central.

  • RevengeSparkys SparkysRevenge (@RevengeSparkys) reported

    Lots of people spent lots of money, your load screen isn't worth it. Why is the game not working for some but is for others? @WarcraftDevs

  • Nagassh_twit Nag (@Nagassh_twit) reported

    @Omni_Lego @Warcraft No. Did you? Legion, BFA and Shadowlands have all been fantastic launches and Cataclysm wasn't too bad. WOD was only rough if you got the Garrison issue. MOP had a few quest issues - I got stuck on the sniping vehicle section but the servers themselves were functional.

  • _capooka Capooka (@_capooka) reported

    @Warcraft Fix eu serves… it’s been an hour and na is fine. Unsubscribed.

  • IdInvaded Id_invaded - ⚡Edgerunner ⚡ (@IdInvaded) reported

  • hanstomatoes Hanstomatoes (@hanstomatoes) reported

    Everyone should just mass unsubscribe #Dragonflight maybe that'll wake the @Warcraft team up and fix these damn issues.

  • KyndahlLordaer1 Kyndahl (@KyndahlLordaer1) reported

    @Warcraft The 9th WOW expansion and still you guys cant get an expac to drop with out massive issues. Unless you're one of the twitch streamers. They all seem to be playing with minimal issues, whilst the rest of us either can't even log in. If you do manage it, you can't catch the boat 👏

  • Djlunar6 DJlunar 67 (@Djlunar6) reported

    @Warcraft Fix your dog **** servers

  • AmberSMarshall Amber Marshall (@AmberSMarshall) reported

    @Warcraft “Live.” Can’t get in to certain portions (i.e. Northrend) of the game while others are fine and dandy (i.e. Ardenweld). And they call it an “authentication error.” Uh. Huh. That’s why half my characters can log in and the other half is in limbo.

  • shenkay Shenkay (@shenkay) reported

    @hugo_dehart @PhineasDelgado @Warcraft Make wow Free instead.... If you love pay for something that doesnt work 60% of the time you are part of the problem.

  • xDroozyy Droozy (@xDroozyy) reported

  • MooreK20 Andrew Moore (@MooreK20) reported

    @Warcraft How? Nothing works you arrogant ignorant company! Just shut up and fix your servers rather than rubbing it in on here.

  • phillyphil1977 steven c phillips (@phillyphil1977) reported

    @Warcraft sorry but no we are not where having issues over here to man boat not showing up and wold server down

  • the1tigirius GreenPill (@the1tigirius) reported

    @Warcraft It's not though, because no one can login and those of us who were logged in were booted so now we're stuck too.

  • lamers_levi Levi Lamers (@lamers_levi) reported

    @Warcraft @WarcraftDevs It's really sad-not fun being stuck on a dock watching who tab of people who are able to level without issue meanwhile whole servers are stuck..
