World Boss on world map not showing up

Has blizzard addressed this at all. I was actually on a group the other day and thought it was just my bad luck timing, but was with friends today who had the notice3 and went to fight the boss, but not there for me. Im level 70 and havent seen a WB since beta. What is going on blizzard, my end game material is lacking hard. What a ridiculous bug.

They address bugs in the patch notes after they patch them.

Check these posts or whatever is stickied at the top of the general forums if you want to see if they addressed something.

I am having the same problem. I get notifications that a world boss is spawing and there is nothing on the map. This happens 90% of the time.

I have the same problem. They tell me to report a bug. It just refers me to forums so I havenā€™t been able to report that bug. Do you know how to report the bug?

I know the notification shows up AFTER the boss has spawned for some reason. Perhaps youā€™re seeing the message after the boss has spawned already?

Why isnā€™t the location of the World Boss & Legion events showing up on my map?

Wow this thread/bug is old. Saw this yesterday. Logging out and logging in ā€˜fixedā€™ it but this is obviously not a real solutionā€¦

just pull up map then hit F for filters and hit the reset button and boom its fixed

Doesnā€™t work.

Tried this a few times in the past couple of days.

Nope.

Port to a different ā€œREGIONā€.

This has consistently fixed it for me and Iā€™ve had this issue since S1.

Upon logging in(this never happens during an active session) I will see the splash notification ā€œWorld Boss Spawning soon in ā€œX Regionā€ā€.
Looking at the Map = no Icon
I port to a different region than the one I logged into - ie. I log in to Hawezar ā†’ port to Gea Kul = World Boss Icon Appears.
Porting withing the SAME region does not clear it up for me - I must port to a different one.

Never had to relog or mess with map or anything.
Just open Map - select a WayPoint elsewhere(other Region than Iā€™m currently in) and port there.
Fixed.

Be nice if Blizz would FIX this YEAR. OLD. BUG.
butā€¦thatā€™s my personal workaround and it has worked for everyone Iā€™ve recommended it to.

Word. Same situation on PS5.

I have the same issue. I just got back into the game after stopping after Season 2. I see the World Boss timer counting down, but I canā€™t see its spawn spot on the map.

I had to port to a different region, then relog, and port again.

Thing is, it does do this consistently. In fact, its pretty rare for me.

Interesting.
Sorry to hear about the re-log step.
Just an exit to menu/Character select screen and back in I hope.

For me it really only ever happens on 1st log in.

The oddities Iā€™ve seen are when it affects 2 characters when Iā€™m doing a WT4 WB(10 seconds) then swapping to a WT2/3 WB with a diff character.
I log in with main for WT4 WB. Have to ā€˜jump regionsā€™ to activate it on map and go there.
Exit.
Log in with WT2 or WT3 Alt Iā€™m leveling - They ALSO have to ā€˜jump regionsā€™ to activate WB.

Regardless, only ever on a fresh log in.

Hope itā€™ll be fixed sometime soonā„¢ :man_shrugging:

Hadnā€™t considered switching world tiers to fix it. I will try that next time.
