Shut down WoW!

Did you not read any of the posts before your own, Myrlashis? It is silly to shutdown the game, in its entirety, for issues that are being experienced by a minority of our 12 million players. I assure you we are working to resolve the issues that you and Boomnick are experiencing, but those resolutions take time.

Q u o t e:



This is bull [Removed] You're saying only 2 people are having problems. Thats a lie. Is the only way to get a response from blizzard to make a topic such as this.

Where exactly is the blue response, In this forum? Where? Pleas link the post the blue sticky that says "we are working on this problem now"

Is it in the bug report forum...you mean the one where the blue response is "post your speccs" and the entire thread has been locked because of capacity restraints?

I didn't say that it was a only two players that was experiencing this issue, Xochipitli, I'm merely saying that shutting down the game for an issue that isn't effecting the majority of our players isn't the best option.

If you are looking for a "blue post" saying that we are aware of the issues that have popped up since the patch and that we are working to resolve them... take this as that post.

Q u o t e:



I have been checking, and the one time a blue responds its bull [Removed]! Hes addressing 2 posters saying that they 2 are the minority...wtf kind of response is that?

Instead of acknowledging or updating customers that are experiencing these bugs, its this drivel.

Yes, Xochipitli, I was acknowledging the two individuals that were speaking to the issue that was in this post. It was not my intention to present myself as believing that they were the only two experiencing issues.

On a side note, since I have had to edit two of your posts at this point, I am going to ask that you please stay within the forum Code of Conduct if you would like to continue posting.

Q u o t e:



Thank you. I am very frustrated, but I appreciate this response at least.

Trust me, I understand the frustration that comes with not being able to play a game that you are dedicated to, mate, and I'm not disregarding that this is a serious issue for those of you that are experiencing it. I'm not sure that we know the exact cause of the issue being talked about here. I would assume that is the reason the Tech reps are still asking for information; to see if there is a common element with everyone that is experiencing the issue.

Q u o t e:


Frankly I dont care I cant post. All I wanted was a response stating affirmatively that blizzard is aware of the problem and working on it. Look at the forums, General, Technical , PVP and here. Its filled with players who are having a terrible, terrible experience.

I have been playing this game for over 5 years and this is the worst it has ever been. Look in the forums and you will also see players not having the same issues, with the response of "its your computer, your fault...." This is clearly not the case. I have been looking for solutions all weekend...and finally when I thought I may have found a productive blue response its "you're the minority".....

Again, the "you're the minority" response was only a point as to why it is a bad idea to shutdown the game completely. If that was not the case I am fairly certain that we would have, as with Burning Crusade, shut things down.

Q u o t e:


2 elements, clicking things that show the "cog wheel" symbol, and loading screen dc's. I, myself, have had limited loading screen dc's, but from listening to others on my server or battlegroup they have brought this up.

Also ty for your posts. Again I assumed this was the case for all 12 million customers and you know what happens when you assume!!

I don’t know who this Ume guy is, but I think I would be best not knowing him if he has that many qualities in common with a donkey! :0P

As for the "Cogwheel" causing disconnects or freezes in Instances and Battlegrounds, we have a post in our Patch 4.0.1 - Issues and Updates sticky: (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=27188062708&sid=1&pageNo=1#11). That post doesn't say much more than we are aware of the issue, but it has been documented and is being looked into.

Q u o t e:
I agree , shutting the servers down is a good idea.

There are alot more problems with this patch then Blizzard is willing to comment on and or fix.

I don't know of an issue that we have ever been unwilling to fix, Kookamunga. Granted there are priorities and patching updates may take time, but that comment is completely false.

Q u o t e:
1. Enchants disappeared from Gear and cannot be restored.

Has been commented on: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=27188062708&sid=1&pageNo=1#2

Q u o t e:
2. Constant lockups and disconnections when entering and leaving instances. The holiday boss is just bring this to the for-front. This happened to me in TOC when grabbing a lance 2 days ago.

Q u o t e:
3. Low fps in dalaran , lowering graphic settings is no help.

The rest of the points that we are not "willing to comment on" are not actually bugs at all, so I'm going to leave those blank.

So, as a bit of good news. Tech Support has stickied a post, created by a player, that is a temporary workaround for the "Cog Wheel" issue: (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=27300876552&sid=1).

Those of you experiencing this issue may want to head over to the aforementioned post and see if that help until we get a permanent resolution for you guys. :0)
