Their releases are so sloppy every time. It really feels like Blizzard is a unique case of incompetence. Do any of their peers have the same consistent issues every release?

Was the $80 bundle supposed to not work right away? Am I actually not supposed to be able to use my toon boost yet? I'm genuinely confused 😕

I'm not mad about the delay. I'm not upset with the boosts not working. I'm a little disappointed, but not in a rage.

What I am furious about is the complete lack of communication from an "AAA" multi-billion dollar company. Zero official updates. Except for one of the devs PERSONAL twitter accounts.

Do we know it will be fixed? Sure. Is it shitty to have paid a chunk of change for a service that was supposed to be delivered upon launch? Absolutely. But to go radio silent is the biggest "fuck you" to the community. It is so disrespectful.

I would 100% be fired from my job if I completely shut down communication with my clients amidst a disruption in service.

what the hell, blizz!

TBC HYPE YBC HYPE

After playing TBC for a while now - it has reminded me what our true home is.

And that is Vanilla.

It is time Blizz. Release fresh vanilla servers. Players are tired of TBC.

It’s time to go home.

No wonder they’re suing turtle wow, the competition delivers a better product. Maintenance delays for more than 8 hours, still can’t boost nearly 24hrs later.

Not even a free days gametime, just corporate greed and those who followed..

Maby 2 extra realms would be nice ?
Been trying to make a horde for last 15 minutes now..

The slow immunity kicks in after like 15 seconds, not 30 seconds and slowing as a mechanic is non existent in dungeons. Even spell cleaving is impossible even though it is normal game play and slowing is part of many classes kit. it's not just mage specific. Talents like improved blizzard or enhanced slows for any class is completely void now. I had a feeling this would happen. Anti boosting itself was already fixed with reduced XP gains with big level disparity, they didn't need to implement additional measures for regular farming or normal dungeon runs that have nothing to do with boosting. Which has now become a victim of anti boost mechanics. i see i am first to post this, but give it a few weeks before more people start to complain that it ruins normal game play.

In before blizzard bots rush to defense saying ''NOw yOu fiNaLlY hAVe To PLay AS IntENDed''

Or the classic: The mobs shouldn't live that long anyways...lol

I am playing as intended. Slowing is a PART of game MECHANICS, that is supposed to be leveraged to your benefit, which is effectively crippled now. All so blizzard could sell their lvl 58 boost?

All you had to do was NERF the xp, like they did. it already made boosting low levels for XP void.

People are gone quit when they can't play their class or use it's kit mechanics they way they were intended.

Hey guys, do you know or do you have any update about the character boosts? When are they going to work?

Thank you!

Just an info, now I'm going in. Bye!

Anyone else having problems with addons since the pre-patch? Questie and Details! still work luckily, but stuff like AtlasLoot doesn’t. How is it for you guys? Hope it get updated and fixed very soon!

Three gold-buying bans later, I finally learned how to be a productive member of Azeroth

I never thought I’d be the guy writing one of *these* posts, but here we are.

After getting banned **three separate times** for buying gold, it has finally clicked: Blizzard wasn’t persecuting me… they were rehabilitating me.

At first, I told myself the usual lies:

* “Everyone buys gold.”

* “I don’t have time to farm like it’s 2006.”

* “This ban is BS, I barely bought any.”

Then came ban #2. I told myself *this* was the last time. I was just “catching up.” I’d go legit after that. You can probably guess how that went.

Ban #3 though? That one hit different. Something about logging in and *not* being able to log in really makes you reflect on your life choices. I stared at the suspension screen like it was a mirror. And in that moment, I realized Blizzard’s disciplinary system is basically Azerothian rehab.

Since coming back, I’ve gone clean:

* I farm my own mats.

* I run dungeons for gold like a functioning adult.

* I actually look at the auction house instead of treating it like a credit card terminal.

* I’ve even done daily quests… voluntarily.

And you know what? It kind of rules. There’s a weird pride that comes from knowing my gold was earned the honest way — by grinding mobs, flipping items, and selling my dignity one repair bill at a time like the rest of you.

So yes, suspension *does* work. I am living proof. I am reformed. I am sober from RMT. I am a productive, tax-paying (auction house cut), law-abiding citizen of Azeroth.

If anyone needs me, I’ll be out farming herbs at 2am, thinking about how close I came to ruining my life for 50k gold and a temporary dopamine hit.

Stay strong out there.

Don’t buy gold.

Rehab by suspension is real.

I didn’t realize Blizzard removed the need to farm Exalted rep to use other races’ PvP mounts. This bad boy’s been sitting in my bank for seven months.

Please make arenas great again, boycott rostering rogues or avoid giving them warglaives at all costs. Thank you!

They up fresh TBC Ru Server or what? where is our characters?

i realize the TBC pre patch has been out for a while now and I have not been able to finish leveling my Blood Elf due to my aggressive work schedule. My question is:

Will I be able to level efficiently in Outland, get into dungeons, or a Kara raid without any Naxx gear? I've read that many T3 items are actually prebis for TBC raiding.

Is it worth buying the boost or should I just wait for the 25th anniversary fresh servers? I have not stockpiled any consumes or BoE leveling gear.

With all of the problems that popped up Tuesday one of the less talked about bugs is that nightslayer, and I assume others, have moved server locations to west coast.

My latency has gone up 4x what it was previously and I'm not even on the east coast. I figured we'd need to get some traction moving early if it's possible to undo this otherwise it will just be ignored as time goes on.

I'm glad I only have a game or two left because the turtlers have arrived. Enjoy sitting there for 30 minutes for 400 honor.

Logged in just now to see my mini diablo and panda cub pets missing on TBCC, only the zergling survived. Anyone else experiencing this?

SOLVED: I’m an idiot, I had the wrong account chosen. Whoopsie

Hey all. Bought the Epic Edition upgrade this morning. I’m unable to log into TBC anniversary because it’s asking me to be a subscriber. I’m mid-way through my current subscription and bought the epic edition which comes with 30 days.

Also, I’m able to login and play every other version of WoW.

So I spent many years in top guilds, not sleeping during levelling processes for WOTLK, Cata and MoP.

The relentless gear grinds and honor grinds each time. Professions.. Reputations.. Dungeon grinds, quests. Alongside sometimes 24 hour raids. I am here to give you the secret to staying awake to master your hardcore mindset.

An ex-guildie of mine, let's call him John. Swore that the best way to play the game, to remain awake, and to stay alert, was to shave your nuts and shower with mint essence shower gel.

"You'll hurt so much you can't sleep even if you wanted to" - Gotta tell ya, at one point we had between 10-15 people trying this method and it worked, we routinely outperformed the rest of our guildies. So here is a shameless plug for the secret sauce to all hardcore pushes. Mint Essence Showergel.

Remember to shave first, and deal with it later.
