    Happens every major patch but still always drives me crazy considering I can play only during evenings
    Guess we just need to be more patient (didn't covid lockdown teach you to be patient?!)

    Here's a tip to work around the battle.net queue: restart battle.net, select another region (US worked for me). You can still play the game just fine on your EU account, you just won't see your friends in bnet.

    Now of course Blizzard does deserve here criticism and all that.

    However it is also quite funny that you and others are somehow surprised that patch-day has issues, lags, queues etc... I mean it's been this way, like, every single time.

    EDIT: It is also important to point out that EU login servers actually haven't been down for most of the day. I've had no issues logging in until now.

    there's a strike in main EU blizz offices today. Also if you login to btnet through US you can then login to the game

    I don't understand people that defend blizzard with this, they fully advertise this pre-patch, they have no excuse no matter what, some of us don't have the time to play every time we want

    We know how the login tech works. You are overloading the servers. Everyone knows it is going to happen, but complaining goes on ayway. And by way, those of us that got in don't have the time to play every time we want either. Stop acting like we have no life.

    Or you can bypass the launcher completely by clicking on WoW.ExE directly.

    Well, servers worked fine for me, could play from ~9 AM to 2 PM (GMT+2) - after that had to do something else.
    Anyway, this downtime is _NOT_ Patch related at all. Whole BattleNet is down, everywhere, for all games.

    So anything really bad happened in the infrastructure or we see a DDoS.

    But really, the WoW Patch worked flawless - at least in DE.

    Life savior here! TY

    As for the situation, you can defend Blizzard here, but its a mess, this is an issue with Auth. servers, its a techcnical problem not a issue with queues for game servers.

    Auth Servers can cope with high demand for years now, so this is Software/Hardware related. Some here are confusing this with full server queues.

    I don't mind waiting once, but:
    1. First you have to wait to start Battle.Net Launcher (like an hour)
    2. Then it has to update, and, of course, the update puts you back in the Battle.Net Launcher queue (for an hour)
    3. And then you can finally log in to the game and see the Ice Crown cinematic, and then Login Servers are full (another hour of queue).

    Battle net is not down in the US.

    Yep, just did a restart to apply an update. Working fine in the US.

    Or you could simply to go to the folder with your WoW.ExE file and click that.
