Unable to play at all

[Lovely]

Fucking WoW crashes every time I try to get in. I select the character, hit enter world, and then get a critical error. I followed the instructions Blue gave me, and nothing helps.

First they nerf my class, then they have a shitty patch that will not work on my PC.

*pulls out hair*

[Abric]

Shouldn't of bitched so much about a balance!

WOW loves Abric.

[Nymare]

*patpat*

You should vent your frustration by drawing Nym! And I should download the patch and try logging in so I know if I'm spending my next two hours outdoors in a clocktower or actually getting things accomplished.

It's important to know how to dress for those things.

[Skafloc]

At the risk of getting pelted with rotten cabbage.. mine works just fine. Better in fact. I swear the graphics are cleaner and colors more vibrant. Elmo definitely looks redder..

[Lovely]

Yeah, the graphics on mine look better too, until I hit the Enter World button and get that damn Error 132 message for the upteenth time. I posted on the tech forums, followed their directions, and still get nothing.

My PC ran the game fine til the patch. This is something on Blizzard's end and I'm sick of getting the runaround from them.

[Lovely]

Whats really pissing me off is that the tech forums are covered in three pages of people with my same problem, and on every one of them Blizzard says it is our computers. And that is IF I'm able to look at a post without the "Server is Busy" message.

*fumes*

[Lovely]

Now they say that there is a chance some video cards have switched from being supported to unsupported. If this is the case, I will have to buy an entire new computer due to the setup I have.

If this isn't resolved, no more WoW. I'm not forking out the cash to buy a new computer just because Blizzard patches.

[Yichimet]

What were the steps they told you to take?

[Lovely]

Interface, Cache and WTF folders were to be deleted. I did this, and rebooted my PC. Then when I tried to log on it prompted me to sign the UA again. I thought "Hey, at least this is something different. Maybe it will work now"

Nope. Nothing.

I can log on, get to my character list (Which looks great with the more vibrant colors), but I hit the Enter World and it loads all the way to the end of the blue bar, then crashes every single time with that lame ass error.

[Nymare]

update video card drivers?

[Lovely]

update video card drivers?

Yeah, it is the video card. Looks like I have to get a new one. Which means because of the way my system is set up, I may have to replace half my computer. Which means no WoW on my PC. Ugggh

[Darkweald]

That is completely bull.

[Icia]

Unless you're using a Mac, there's always a way to upgrade something without having to upgrade everything.


And on the other hand, If your computer is at a point where that's likely, you're going to be upgrading it all eventually, no?

[Vilmah]

I'm having trouble logging on.

*fist shake*

EDIT:

"Error retrieving character list"

WTF.....

[Chikt]

I love how, every patch, it causes more issues than it fixes.

The servers are apparently going down for rolling restarts to fix problems people are experiencing. I do not understand why they would just remove graphics cards from the supported list. That's just stupid.

EDIT: It concerns me, 10 minutes before the restart, that I am kicked off the server, and upon trying to log back in I get "Error Retrieving Character List"

[Vilmah]

Ooooooh so that's what some realms work and some don't.. gotcha.

[Nicoleta]

I'm having trouble logging on.

*fist shake*

EDIT:

"Error retrieving character list"

WTF.....


I'm getting the same error, and it's frustrating because I was logged in, but attempted to switch to an alt to retrieve some gems. Why can't I be content with what I have?!

10 Minutes From Now

Due to stupidity on behalf of one of our server mechanics, all characters on the following servers have been permenately deleted...

[Malorii]

Blizzard crashed my rp event of evil! >.<

[Syreena]

Same here, Nicoleta! I should have known better when I saw people log in and out while they were fixing addons, and then one time never come back on.


TN is offline now. Hopefully, our characters will all still be there when it comes back up. If not, I'm blaming Diomades!

[Abric]

Just keep it cool, folks. Give the tech's time to do their job on Tuesdays.

And, if anything... http://www.blizzard.com/jobopp/

Then, when you get a job - I'm out of the Navy in 2009. So, get me a job too. I can be either a Project Manager, Customer Service Representative, Web Designer, or Office Linebacker.

[Chikt]

Blizzard crashed my rp event of evil! >.<

Bad day for RP event of evil. I was about to get headed over there after meeting with Skafloc and Nymare when the server went down. Looks like I'll miss the event either way! It's not fair!

[Yichimet]

I'd probably quit today if the characters were wiped. I don't have time to level another toon to 70. =P

[Okhu]

If the toons WERE wiped..poor blizzard would be losing a "couple" customers I imagine. <<

[Darkweald]

I'd never come back.

[Malorii]

naw charecters are still there realms are just on the very verge of esplodin' so the the saved charecter lists can't be retrived. there was a lot of new contect put out so theres bound to be a bugs on all big patch days D:



i need 5k gold..

[Vilmah]

TN is offline now. Hopefully, our characters will all still be there when it comes back up. If not, I'm blaming Diomades!

"With my last breath, I blame Zoidburg!"

[Nicoleta]

Bah... had the house to myself. Was going to totally vegetate and run all those stupid instances I never have time to run.

[Fhenrir]

"With my last breath, I curse Zoidburg!"

Fixed.

[Niethan]

I seem to be stuck at Authenticating...

[Chikt]

And now the servers won't be coming back up for a couple of hours it seems.

Oh well. Looks like I might be playing some Pokemon Pearl.

[Mortica]

remember the TNG chatroom is up and available >:D

[Niethan]

Buh? Chatroom?

[Tylerian]

Same here, Nicoleta! I should have known better when I saw people log in and out while they were fixing addons, and then one time never come back on.

>_> I gave up fixing addons, and then I was told it was time to go get food. But yeah, gotta love patch days. This is why I'm glad they're infrequent, rather than the whiners who are like, "Everquest patched weekly, blahblahblah."

If I can get Bongos working now... then I'll have all addons working properly.

[Pythre-Co]

*sigh* This patch better be pretty damn cool. Otherwise, I'm totally going...terrorist. '_'

[Lelenia]

I would say the Vent server is there, but apparently we're experiencing techical difficulties.

But fear not! I am working on figuring out wtf is going on!

:: stalks off dragging a beatstick::

[Okhu]

Wait wait wait....chatroom!?..o.0....

[Visant]

:::flails fists against the log in server while sobbing like a little girl:::

Damn it! I was going to work on my big cow druid of healing love!

:::grumbles, runs off to play Lord of the Rings:::

[Chikt]

In other news, Twisting Nether Gazette's Vent server was recently acquired by Blizzard Entertainment. Shortly before his resignation and the Vent Server going offline, Tseric was quoted as saying "For game balance, we have to nerf its usability."

[Aquizit]

Tseric quit/got fired.. but I figure you know this, Dio.

[Lovely]

TN is still down. I actually got on Proudmoore for half a second, but half my gear was missing and then within 2 seconds of logging in I crashed and got the 132 error again.

[Chikt]

For a lore mod, you don't read much. >.>

[Vilmah]

I guess I have to DRAW now...

[Chingaso]

TN is not even listed now!!!

[Fallacy]

Vil, get in the chat room, now!

[Bir]

Kaiho says:
I know how to fix that!!!
Kaiho says:
omg!
How's the pie? says:
Fuck'n post
Kaiho says:
I need to get her to talk to Cali, I had the same problem!
Kaiho says:
I cant remember how to do it but you need to download the patch from a source other then blizzard
Kaiho says:
and it works just fine

^How's the pie? = Bir

[Magometus]

You can ask anybody who's been around me lately, I've had some really bad luck with being booted every few minutes. I never really did figure out what the problem was (it might have been my own comp, but it didn't start happening until after the patch), but I did end up getting some error. I was too pissed off to look at it though... The other times I got booted it just would disconnect me and send me to the log in screen. Amurth said I didn't even vanish from the game world.
