Glad I can rely on Wowhead for news (seriously). If you missed the one tweet, you wouldn't know what the heck is going on as apparently they can't be bothered to add this news to the "Breaking News" section on the launcher or the log-in screen. Also...head on over to the forums and express your dissatisfaction if you feel like getting a snarky response from a less than helpful community manager. The client service failure here is just as bad as the technical issue IMO.
I was hoping this referred to how I can't shift-click find people anymore unless I've added them as a character friend.
30 minutes trying to log into the game, when I finally did it, my computer crashed (I seem to be having some hardware problems :~~) Now I can't join the game again :D Gotta love patch week.
Same here. I can't also create a new character either. It says "Character Creation Timed Out!" I am really glad that I am not the only one having this issue. I was like worried because one of my guildies from the same server is online. I thought I was being hacked.
And if you believe that i've got some real estate in Florida you may be interested in purchasing :)
Still broke after 3 hrs Blizz i may need free game time lol
Nornally I wouldn't be mad about rough pre-patch crap, but this issue was reported on PTR countless times.
Same lol did a million updates for over 2 hrs LOL oy vey
HERE we go! And this is just the preview patch oy vey! I pay money for these issues!
blizzard aware but not competent, smh, I am fearful of expansion launch
By the way they treated the same crap yesterday LOL I'm guessing they're just going to keep saying the same thing every single day without any information?
It really kind of boggles me. Most of these people have been here for several expansions, yet they're shocked by the same things happening every time.Prepatch has ALWAYS had a week or two of leeway before the preexpansion events happen.There are ALWAYS issues right after a major patch. There are ALWAYS unforeseen issues that people say that they should have somehow predicted. Like it's as simple as "oops, I forgot to hit the "logins work" button."This is why there has always been leeway before the preexpansion events. Anywhere from a week up to a month! They WANT the expansion launch to go smoothly, which is why they're trying to iron out everything they can now.They'd LIKE a nice bug free prepatch launch, but that's not always something that can happen. Computers are weird and errors and glitches happen. What works for 1000 tests might fail when 10,000 people try, y'know? Just relax. Things will get fixed. if you have a problem, REPORT IT TO BLIZZARD, don't just grumble about how things are wrong and blizzard sucks. They WANT problems reported so they can fix them.
Could my characters not updating here be tied into this? Selecting a profile clicking update & it doesn't change any info.
Seriously, first you have to queue into your realm only to find that you can't play the game because of things that should've been learnt expansions ago. If the pre-patch with almost 0 new content is as scuffed as it is I dread the day Shadowlands actually launches :/
