Other than not being to play all day due to maintenance, I haven't had any issues. I have no lag and haven't been disconnected. I am on a medium pop server though, so not sure if that is making a difference.

It'll be the DDOS attack.

Yeah.

That'll be it.

 awesome, for real

Shame that the DDOS attack is now confirmed by Blizzard on Twitter to be... players trying to log in  ACK!

Maintenance again tomorrow from 3:00-9:00 AM PST. There has been a hell of a lot of downtime for this.

Logged in at 1530 hrs and its now 2230 hrs and there's currently 534 in que in front of me.  I guess Blizz is celebrating WoW's 10 year anniversary by having the same log in, ques and lag they had at launch in 2004. Ohhhhh, I see.

Edit: In now at 2339 hrs.

Played a bit more today but only because I logged in right when the servers came back up.

Went to bed early, woke up a few minutes ago with my usual hot-flashes-toss-n-turn, but decided to try logging in since it's 1am and the servers don't go down for another 2 hours.

2934 in the queue.

Back to bed for me!

Welp, maintenance didn't fix the queue, so fuck Blizzard. Glad I only had two days left on the sub, so I can wait out this clusterfuck. Seriously, I'm pretty much convinced that Blizzard sold all their WoW servers and were running off of Metzen's old workstation. No other explanation for a sudden and complete inability to support a large player base.

The worst part is this is a much better expansion than pandaria but the way they fucked the servers over with mergers is killing off any goodwill the content may provide.

Friend who is a WoW fanatic was gushing over this expansion. The long queues didn't really bother her, she just wanted to get past it.

This was an expansion that people wanted to see work after Pandas. Also, Horde-lovers get a lot of love.

Was there ever an Alliance-focused expansion? Even Lich King gave the Horde a lot more interesting lore than the others. I rarely hear about Alliance politics. Jaina something something Aegwynn something something.

Back in after maintenance. Still no queue for me and no lag issues. This must really just be affecting high pop realms.

As I mentioned in the other thread, today's downtime should allow them to increase the caps to normal. Try it again.

They definitely spun-down and offlined a lot of servers over the last 2-3 years. The playerbase just didn't justify keeping so many running for little to no good reason. That's what the mergers and the shared-zone technology was all about.  I imagine these frequent maintenance outages are them spinning-up what they can again and merging them into the hardest-hit servers.

There has not been, no.  The most interesting lore has always revolved around Thrall/ Horde because: Metzen.  Even Bolvar as Lich King II felt more like a bone being tossed than a cool Alliance moment because it was removing one of the coolest characters.  The only reason Jaina hasn't gone full bad-guy is the utter revolt you'd have from players who care.  She's crazy/ bitch-ass enough after the Pandaria stuff that folks aren't happy.

I just hope they have improved on the Diablo 3 era reaction times. The expansion deserves better than to get hamstrung by corporate rot.

You got Lady Onyxia and a decent quest line for her in Vanilla. What more do you want. :D

Horde got to look for bloody Rexxar!

Well since I've finally been able to play today, I dig it so far. The Garrison stuff is more fun than I expected. The questing feels good, and the extra voice acting makes a difference. Just really glad to be somewhere other than Pandaria, the whole Chinese/Panda theme never fit with my idea of Warcraft, Draenor is so much better already.

There have been a few expansions that SHOULD have been Alliance centric, but managed not to be through Green Jesus and Alliance factions turning into neutral ones so Green Jesus could save them too.


The high points are probably Vanilla with the Onyxia chain and WotLK up to the Wrathgate event. After Wrathgate things just go stupid... or stupider I guess. The 'classic' Alliance feel/theme died with Bolvar basically.

and the gate is like I TOO AM CAPABLE OF SPEECH

Look at it from their point of view.  It was a broadly distributed attack on their login servers.

People trying to log in is a kind of DDOS.

It's just pathetic that they've moved so many people off the project and replaced them with incompetence. I know a guy that actually went to Wildstar to get off the projects that Blizzard was trying to move him to. That's how desperate he was.

I wouldn't blame anyone that wouldn't want to spend the rest of their life developing on the same project. It's the opposite of exciting. Cinematics team might enjoy the new challenges, but "maintenance" teams have a rough go of it. I'd be interested in the project turnover numbers, but fat chance getting those.

I'm not surprised their top talent moved off project or left the company, especially Pardo.

Can you provide a link? The whole DDoS thing is being regurgitated by dumb people as the reason for queues today.

Yes, and I'm telling you THAT'S NOT THE CASE.   Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

I don't know if it's a Monk bug or a powerlevel to 90 bug or what, but it happens and is repeatable for demo purposes.  Every time she switches from Windwalker to Brewmaster, it picks a different one.

It's kinda hilarious.

Did my first Auchindoun  run yesterday.  We get to an area with groups of mobs on the platform where one of the bosses spawns, which prompts our uber l33t tank to say:

Tank: ok, listen up, stay behind me and kill the pyros first because they are faggots, and there's nothing I hate more in this world than faggots, so don't fuck this up Ohhhhh, I see.

Oh, pugs... never change.
