WoW Classic Stress Test – June 19-21

Geranni-wyrmrest-accord · June 19, 2019, 4:39am

So you’re upset that the U.S. has to test out the servers so EU and other regions can have a stress free launch? Why do they need more than one region testing when they are in this region working on it at Blizzard HQ?

I saw streamers demand content be created out of thin air and blizzard devs instantly comply. Will I be able to demand Devs to things and have them comply as well? Or was that a perk just for streamers?

All these people from EU complaining about being left out. Welcome to the world of OCE for the last 20 years. We’ve only just started getting servers on launch for popular games, and even then it’s not constant. Meanwhile EU/US always have support, and even if EU doesn’t, what’s your ping to a US server? Bet it’s lower than the 300 I get minimum.

Have some perspective and grow up.

Cheers Blizz.

To all complaining that it’s USA only:
I’m pretty sure you can purchase US WOW subscription separately.
I have played on EU servers as recent as in the past 6 months (Russian: Гордуни) although I live in the USA. You just have to purchase those through a different battle.net shop and know what you’re doing.

Thank you for this message! I’m very excited

Will more people get the Beta testing after this? I think the more people you have testing the game the more bugs will be found. I personally believe you should invite at least like 1000 more people just to find more bugs. Thanks for the update Blizzard. Also if you don’t add more people to the beta that’s fine I just see it as everyone is max level for the beta so if you add more that are low level they might be able to get the rest of the bugs that other people missed. Mainly in zones that weren’t really traveled to. Thanks again

Yeah, this will be interesting. The first two took hours for us to get in and that was a much smaller pool of testers.

Bareth-eredar · June 19, 2019, 11:58am

just remember there are a lot more servers for this one but i also think it will take long

Thanks for the info Kaivax,

Just an FYI currently on the login screen on my Wow Classic Client i am unable to change any Display setting without getting a 3D rendering fail, followed by the client crashing. not sure where to post this kind of thing so i thought here would do.

Cheers

Google the error message. You will find cures for that. If you right click the wow exe, go to properties, there is a tab with a full screen enhancement something or other that needs checked. I had the same issue with those crashes before checking that box.

Bowcrazy-frostmourne · June 19, 2019, 1:30pm

Tried all know fixes, didnt work. just made the screen i wanted to play on the primary. will work for now, just pointing out something that needs to be fixed.

Thanks for the help though

Brokenwind-malganis · June 19, 2019, 1:36pm

Did you update you card’s drivers? That was the first thing I did, as I was getting the popup that my 2 year old GeForce GTX was not a supported card for WoW.

Bowcrazy-frostmourne · June 19, 2019, 1:42pm

Also have done this, my 1080TI is up to-date.
And BFA is running at like 200 Frames, so hopefully it will get patched. Could annoy alot of people on launch.

Forum-azshara · June 19, 2019, 1:51pm

Haha, suckers. Have to wait a whole 'nother day.

Brokenwind-malganis · June 19, 2019, 1:55pm

Oh, without a doubt.

Here is the box I spoke of earlier that needed to be checked:

Game time was over!? It doesn’t start for 6hrs 40mins.

Fobnop-turalyon · June 19, 2019, 2:29pm

It wasn’t for the streamers. They wanted to stress test, there were a ton of players gathered in that one place so they started spawning bosses, that brought in even more players. Streamers may have been there but they’d have done it anyway. They did this kind of thing back before streaming, sooooooooooooo, yeah.

Wovin-bloodhoof · June 19, 2019, 2:30pm

(I) They can if they have an active Americas account.

(II) Next stress test is worldwide.

(You could say Blizz are keeping it totally Classic, by having only US servers )

Timothe-proudmoore · June 19, 2019, 2:31pm

I dont think you’re lying. I think you believe what you said.

there is a video of

streamer A tells dev A “spawn ragnaros”

dev A tells Streamer a" ok"

I made up the text of the conversation but you get the jist.

Unless you are just saying that universal forces just happened to align right then and the dev was going to be spawning ragnaros anyway and the streamer just HAPPENED to tell the dev to do so right then and there and then dev just HAPPENED to say ok because he didnt want toe xplain he was JUST ABOUT to do so anyway!!!

what coincidences!!!
