Hello everyone, forum MVP WyomingMyst here. World of Warcraft’s latest expansion, Battle for Azeroth launches this afternoon at 3 PM PDT. While this isn’t a big deal for those who don’t play World of Warcraft, be prepared for potential issues that may impact our ability to play Overwatch.
Expect possible disconnections and/or login queues around 3 PM PDT I hope this won’t happen, but I rather assume for the worst. I recommend setting some sort alarm if you are playing this afternoon as a reminder to avoid Competitive Play around the launch window. As always, disconnections do result in leaver penalties which cannot be reserved!
Expect long customer support wait times! It is highly expected that there will be extremely long wait times for Blizzard’s Customer Support. This includes web tickets, live chat, and their callback service. I do encourage posting on the technical support forum first for any issues outside of account access or purchase issues. Players like myself will be around to lend a hand.
Battle for Azeroth Digital Deluxe collectibles still available
Those who purchase the Battle for Azeroth Digital Deluxe package for World of Warcraft will get access to a variety of Warcraft themed emotes, sprays, and voice lines for Overwatch. I believe this will still be available when the game goes live.
That is just about it. I am hoping the launch will go smoothly for both World of Warcraft players and Overwatch players alike. However, I feel sharing this now will hopefully help anyone who sees this and be ready for the crazy afternoon ahead. Cheers!
This type of quests was years ago and it represents a few part of the content, and the game have millions of players yet.
You is just another wow hater that don’t know the game.
I saw the cinematic for the Battle for Azeroth, and even though I don’t know any of the characters I still enjoyed it. Only thing is, Blizzard’s cinematics look way better than their actual games. World of Warcraft dosen’t live up to the graphics as the cinematics do, and that’s what puts me off. Idk, I should look into it more,
World of Warcraft is one of blizzard’s oldest active games. It was originally designed to work on Windows XP after all. it also has one of the widest system compatibility requirements.
this is exacly why you don’t know the game, it changed a loot after all theses years after you quited.
But if we only consideres the time you played, you still should know that the game is not only do quests in open world.
Yeah for sure It’s wise to avoid competitive for at least 12 hours when it launches just to be safe, it’s likely all games and players will be affected especially when logging into bnet client, there will be a huge que
Tell me that the finale of this expansion won’t end in a draw for Horde vs. Alliance, and that the losses for each side are compensated by gains. Or that even if a third faction arises (Forsaken), each faction’s battles end in a draw.
