World of Warcraft Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • KodashOg KodashOG (@KodashOg) reported

    @Warcraft Kul’tiran looks bad for almost everything. They have the classic beer gut action which is the issue.

  • GreenBedBlueSky GreenBed (@GreenBedBlueSky) reported

    Thinking of getting back into RP, but the majority of it on social media seems to be romantic/******, which isn't an issue but that's just outside of my current tastes! I think I might get back into World of Warcraft tbh, I really liked RP there! #WorldOfWarcraft #RP #Gaming

  • MozarabMohan Inquisitor Himbo Juan (@MozarabMohan) reported

    @TheRedShirtGuy @WarcraftDevs Yup. Otherwise it lends itself to the worry that they'll just villain bat the Horde again In turn exacerbating the problem "Horde is the villain faction because they're Savages" and all that entails. Ergo imperialist Alliance suggestion. Because Horde is "Freedom".

  • RodenAnthony Anthony Roden (@RodenAnthony) reported

    @LeystTv @WarcraftDevs I know there may have been some Technical issue too but I am sure this was fixed years ago..

  • Jack_Mangano NavJack27_ (Silicon Gang Top 99%) (@Jack_Mangano) reported

    i had it most of the way set up. reactos installed, warcraft 3 installed, patched, no-cd'd... 3D was the issue and virtualbox latest was being weird not allowing 3D, maybe i can mesa 3D? i dunno. i'll step away for a lil bit to think. cant do VB 5.x due to instant blue screen.

    FFXI is probably the most notable MMO that used the EQ formula. However, this would not last. Tigole was a lead designer on World of Warcraft. He addressed many major issues that prevented casuals from getting into EQ, such as the monstrous death mechanics.

  • Redmagex 🇨🇦RedMageX🇨🇦 (@Redmagex) reported

    @chenri28 @SuddenRadV2 @bstategames World of Warcraft has these issues every time they launch an expansion, hell, even FFXIV got to a point where they stopped sales of the game to try and reduce issues. Stop whining

  • AliceThePurple Alice the Purple Fiend | Drake (@AliceThePurple) reported

    @WarcraftDevs @WatcherDev So, idk who wrote those new Playable Race things, but you gotta backtrack those. They're insulting, show a clear biased and distain, and many, MANY, more issues, including lore/story inaccuracies.

  • DaveofCanada 🇨🇦DoC🇨🇦 (@DaveofCanada) reported

    @TheRedShirtGuy @MozarabMohan @WarcraftDevs —to new lore that didn’t exist prior, and needed Alleria to specifically align with it all. Or you could’ve just added the Krokul and have some void/fel corruption elements, and deal with the Draenei intolerance of the Broken again. But alas, it was not meant to be.

  • Mark_GFL Markgfl 🎮 Mark's Game Reviews (@Mark_GFL) reported

    @steffenagermann I remember running World of Warcraft on it - just - with all the settings turned down. It was my emergency gaming fix in case my PC broke :D

  • bondsmatthew Matt Newton (@bondsmatthew) reported

    @piggypanda123 @BellularGaming @Warcraft They could even fix bosses people found.. underwhelming. Madness and Spine 100% come to mind here

  • WardenRaintree Kyalin Raintree (@WardenRaintree) reported

    @MozarabMohan @WarcraftDevs Thinking about this, I think there's an argument to be made that this is their attempt to address faction balance issues in game. Make the Horde unpalatable so that more people will roll Alliance. Here's why that won't work. 🧵 (1)

  • KaylaHo07212299 ‧͙⁺˚*・༓☾Kayla Houston☽༓・*˚⁺‧͙ (@KaylaHo07212299) reported

    @ScammerJammer74 @amazon i didn't open it :p just screen shot it. But yeah. Same goes for people that are selling gold in world of warcraft or some thorn head pretends to be Blizzard and makes a "fake" Blizzard Battle . net login

  • trusplendidpan Splendid is ✨HYPERFIXATING✨ (@trusplendidpan) reported

    I really dont have any warcraft ocs with curly hair 😔 despite myself having redic fluffy curls. I need to fr fix that

  • advocateBTC Advocate (@advocateBTC) reported

    @soulfulalpha @homo_est_potens @mikealfred Premine, controlling class pushing POS, POS benefits those with capital unfairly, Ethereum foundation bullying and harassment, it’s run by a dude who wanted to fix warcraft, their narratives are constantly full of ****.

  • argirisktr Argiris (@argirisktr) reported

    I just earned the [****** Service] Achievement! #Warcraft

  • Plonq Plonq (@Plonq) reported

    A lot of problems with quests in World of Warcraft can be summed up by this comment on Wowhead, which ends with, "and yes ... you came here because the drop rate is atrocious."

  • alexkonecny alex konecny (@alexkonecny) reported

    @warcraftstats @WarcraftDevs also finally fix the scaling on Legion raids. You shouldn't have to have endgame gear to run half a decade old raids, lol.

  • AdamPashley6 Adam Pashley (@AdamPashley6) reported

    @hikons @Warcraft 3 Venti White choc mochas and a Banana bread. The buzz will keep me going but the crash will be horrendous

  • lottiegnotty Mikal Musick (@lottiegnotty) reported

    @WarcraftDevs Please for all that fun and drunen, buff/fix brewmaster stagger in pvp. It's absolutely BROKEN in pvp and not fuctional. We have no defensive mitigation mechanically baseline without it. Please don't wait till next year to shake up the pvp meta./sadpanda legit!

  • RSScheiner Rafael Scheiner (@RSScheiner) reported

    @Warcraft Fresh transmog directly bought from the store, how about no new store **** and idk, might be a CRAZY idea, fix que damn game?

  • MozarabMohan Inquisitor Himbo Juan (@MozarabMohan) reported

    @DaveofCanada @TheRedShirtGuy @WarcraftDevs Which is uh, another issue, but let's treat that as a fluke to make Alleria Super Special and be slightly shady to the Alliance High Elf Community rather than a meaningful direction 💀

  • ash8tman Ash (@ash8tman) reported

    @keyboardturn @Queen_Ishura Thats a lion head. the website shows the Lordaeron crest. so many error in world of warcraft recently, where are their loremasters and editors

  • pinksweets8 sweets🍭 // art trades! & comms open (@pinksweets8) reported

    maybe i should finally play the fe7 remake while my monitor is broken but i am suffering from Warcraft withdrawal right now lol

  • RealCeeJai CJ (Makhaar) (@RealCeeJai) reported

    @warcraft @warcraftdevs There is a bug where everytime I am in Korthia and get a queue, when I leave the instance I am put in the Ring of Transference rather than put back where I was in Korthia. Please investigate and fix this. It's a huge waste of time.

  • TheRedShirtGuy Ian Bates 💙 (@TheRedShirtGuy) reported

    @MozarabMohan @WarcraftDevs Ah, I viewed the word choice as trying to go for a way of saying "the Horde is rowdy and tough, the Alliance is stuck-up and uptight" and they made a rather poor word choice using savage for the Horde in comparison, using it that way is a different issue altogether...

  • TheRedShirtGuy Ian Bates 💙 (@TheRedShirtGuy) reported

    @MozarabMohan @WarcraftDevs Maybe the wild or untamed as the adjective for the Horde to go along with stringent? Or would have the same issues as savage playing into noble savage tropes?

  • ColinTBurke Colin Burke (@ColinTBurke) reported

    @dansalvato It’s an issue a lot of people found with World of Warcraft, as expansions and updates have gone on. As an example, flying mounts effectively shrank the world, but there’s no way they could go back to *not* having them.

  • nightfae_is_bae Chloe 💙 (@nightfae_is_bae) reported

    Why is it that we can still do the Broken Shore scenario, but can't do the Battle for Lordaeron scenario? @WarcraftDevs

  • sameQCU サメQCU (@sameQCU) reported

    wowcraft has a kinda funny problem with its lore, that, basically, wow's lore was better than warcraft's lore, so wow-only players actually got a stronger and more grounded version of all of the story the game was supposedly built on
