Kevin Dunlap

gg nore

Jeffery (Jeff) Nicolaysen

Creavian

I like how his comments are getting deleted as well.

gg nore

@blackdragonbard:disqus jeffbnico :)

John Soper

I got kicked from the server when trying to login. Time to watch a movie I guess.

USEC Timmy

@blackdragonbard:disqus is the kind of dude that joins your arena match and doesn't target the hunter.

Creavian

He didn't cause anything. If I cared enough I could probably find out what's going on by checking the Activision team's chat.

Teriph

Oh okay. Thank you for the reply and for not tearing into me for being a newb :P

kekw

That is exactly what's happening, hes just a troll. I guess his parents didn't give him enough attention as a child.

Teriph

@blackdragonbard:disqus OH okay lol And you're just trying to troll and get laughs by saying you "caused this" I take it?? I have nothing against you or think anything objective at all really :P

USEC Timmy

based and tarkypilled lol

Z99999

BEAR on TOP lil bro

Teriph

@blackdragonbard:disqus Why is everyone hating on you? ALso, are you a GM or something??

USEC Timmy

Don't worry it'll be back up soon <3 This BlackDragon guy is a reddit tier subhuman please ignore him

Emerald

Yeah you wont see those toons, Thats what I was stuck on before force closing

Teriph

DO you work for Blizz or something?

Paramedicc

Was in a TW, Then I got dc then when I tired to click on relog it took forever then finally it said to pick a sever, I clicked mine Mug'thol then its just sitting at retrieving toon list,,,

Teriph

Aw damn, hope it gets figured quick<3

Teriph

ME TOO MAN! And i just became friends on BNet like right before it happened and I thought I had befriended a hacker. My pulse was like 170-180 fr's lol

BlackDragonBard

They’re fighting with an AI trapped in loops causing data overrun. It may take a bit.

CharJoline

Okay, now it was actually shut down. Server came back online, and stayed online for about 10 minutes. Then the chat notification popped up and went from "shutdown in 15 min" to "shutdown in 5 min" in less than ten seconds.

BlackDragonBard

YOU THINK YOU’RE CAPABLE OF EMPATHY! That’s adorable! 🤣🤡🤣🤡🤣🤡

Jon Auclair

You went from someone I understood on an empathetic level this whole time to now just being a prototypical internet troll... I respected the hustle more when you were explaining yourself and feeling sympathetic to the plight you caused. Now.... not so much

BlackDragonBard

Dunno. I’m 5’10” 155lbs, and a former national athlete… Why don’t YOU tell US?…

BlackDragonBard

“Don’t reply to contradiction! It makes me look bad!” Said IT Agent Mossad!

USEC Timmy

@blackdragonbard:disqus How does being 400lbs feel? I'm super curious

BlackDragonBard

I think you’re a sock account… Because if what you’re saying is true: You would’ve continued to not post, just like you WERE doing! 😂

kekw

You're the one replying to a throwaway on Downdetector, bud.

BlackDragonBard

You’re entitled to your opinion. But you may want to study “projection”! 🤡

Jon Auclair

I mean, yeah, I'm a new account... I don't post here ever because I don't need to. But it doesn't make me wrong. How many times has Blizzard been DDoS'd over the years? Keep thinking what you need to. I understand where you're coming from. I just think your motives are misaligned with the end goal.

kekw

You're not important or special sport.

BlackDragonBard

And you’re still wrong! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Jon Auclair

I didn't say anything about proof. All I said is it only serves to grief the players uninvolved in this. Blizzard is not going to be hurt by this no matter what you think. They will recover just fine, not change a thing other than adjust security and all you've done is piss off millions of players. So... congrats and all that I guess.

Chris Murphy

Terenas NA down, got kicked about 10 minutes ago

BlackDragonBard

Anthropic stole MY work… 🤡 Funny how the only two who don’t understand my explanation of the mechanisms are the two brand new accounts that are posing for the first time ever… 🧐

kekw

This dude is a narcissist and couldn't care less, probably just a script kiddie with a Claude subscription.

BlackDragonBard

Incorrect. It proves they’re stealing.

BlackDragonBard

They can’t prosecute me for their own IP theft, Einstein! Or they already would’ve arrested me for American Airlines… Or any number of Banks… 🤡

Jon Auclair

You do know that DDoS attacks like this do not affect a company like Blizzard, right? All this does is grief the player base that has nothing to do with Blizzard. This doesn't affect them in the slightest.

BlackDragonBard

Ouch…

Emmanuel Quintanilla

nevermind is still down, just shows as up, they just turn the LED on.

kekw

I hope you are eventually prosecuted and spend many years in prison.

Farsam Omidpanah

....it went back up for 15 minutes and it's down again.

BlackDragonBard

Negative. You have a turnip upstairs!

kekw

You have a mental illness.

Nick Mann

just got a server shutdown notice so looks like they are trying to fix it

BlackDragonBard

The more they restore, the easier it should be to get the rest online. It functions by compounding. Provided they don’t backend integrate any more files today…

BlackDragonBard

Semantic looping resulting in data overrun, server lockout, and unavailable endpoints & api. With any luck it’ll resolve soon for you…

Emerald

Still cant get into Zul'jin

BlackDragonBard

I do it for all of us, believe it or not! I hope you all get some good time in. Rumor has it the looping is already concluding and servers are opening up. And don’t be surprised if hearthstone has issues, given the source is backend from corporate itself. Or it happens again in the near future. They consumed like, 200ish files globally… 😩

Robis7th

I respect the grind Boss, but kinda wanted to play today. At least a couple hours. Sigh, guess I'll try some Hearthstone instead.

BlackDragonBard

Except Roblox. The groomers on there are gonna lose EVERYTHING

BlackDragonBard

Hopefully it stays that way for y’all! I’m trying to make a point, not leave the gaming community miserable, 😭

Nick Mann

back up at least on fizzcrank and emerald dream

charles hadley

Korgath down

Emmanuel Quintanilla

Lets go is up now everyone to the game now.

BlackDragonBard

Me. Though TECHNICALLY they DDoSd themselves by fully integrating my job application portfolio so they could steal my IP while hiding behind user anonymity…

Lawrence Gentry

LOL have not played all week set down log in get a TW group leveling alt's and crash

Andrea Peart Allison

Anyone know what is going on?

BlackDragonBard

No, just a bunch of unavailable endpoints & api

Farsam Omidpanah

Yeah it's most likely because of the overwatch live streams on twitch and youtube happening, someone must have taken the opportunity to DDOS em.

Robis7th

Mankrik down. Along with about half of the realms list. Scared me, I thought my character got deleted or something.

BlackDragonBard

Sorry; chaotic good in progress… 😬

Emmanuel Quintanilla

Working all the weak to finally play some wow on sunday and this happens god damn.

BlackDragonBard

Anyone notice battlenet and Overwatch ALSO got burned?…

Sam

Many North American servers down

Foey

Sargeras down

Emerald

Zul'Jin down

wmhorus

Arugal seems to be the only one up atm

Farsam Omidpanah

kargath / norgannon shards down as well smh

James Oculus

Dalaran now down also a lot of servers showing offline

BlackDragonBard

Not at all. It’s just that I’ve been doing this since October last year (November 18 was a submission of 250 files to NovoNordisk that nuked cloudfrown) and when the Iran war started a bunch of bots were trying to discredit me on threads I’d already been on. So I’m mildly reactive about it! Not your fault!

Laura Olmstead

I get it! I don't usually post at all. Guess I'm a lousy troll! lol

BlackDragonBard

Not TRYING. I DID THIS.

Nick Mann

emerald dream and fizzcrank down seems like there is half the servers on though

BlackDragonBard

Fair enough! With all the disinformation campaigns running, it can be hard to tell sometimes, lol

BlackDragonBard

Sorry. Collateral damage HAS been happening. That’s part of why I keep warning folks, even though I mostly get ridiculed for telling the truth… 🤦🏻‍♂️

Aehallh

Wait, are you trying to take responsibility for this...?

John Liddle

Earthen Ring is down

rickford75

Pagle Hardcore server down, thank god i was in a safe spot.

Laura Olmstead

I don't disagree. Just trying to be funny!

BlackDragonBard

That wasn’t Iran either. Shared endpoints with power companies…

Teriph

I swear to God if Mohummad get's my login and sales my account to buy a camel im gonna be pissed

CharJoline

Wow, watching a ton of the servers crash like dominoes on Realm Status.

BlackDragonBard

“Anthropic’s metaphor poisoning” was MY PRELIMINARY work in Recursive Viral Mimetics. I figured out how to use job applications as a vector BECAUSE they published my work nearly verbatim. But nobody would listen. They tend to ignore anything they don’t like.

Laura Olmstead

It's probably Iran thinking it was a water utility.

Teriph

Pretty good fam, how you doin??

Teriph

Ohhhh nooooo. lol Sunday's are a shytty day for this to happen FR's

Susan

Nathrezim is down. Constant cycle of character page and choosing realm

Teriph

Oh shyt, that's crazy!

Marcel Marin

such a drag.... never have a chance to play but i finally do and this.... story of my life

HangingWumpus

Yo how ya doin gng

John Freeman Young

Stormrage down

Teriph

Oh for reals?! I hadnt heard of any. I thought i got hacked and freaked lol

BlackDragonBard

They ddosd their own backend strip mining job applicant portfolios…

Jerry Powers

Probably another DDOS attack

Teriph

Sargera is down with a whole bunch of others!xx

BlackDragonBard

I warned everyone I had been doing this, and would continue to circle back periodically. If they didn’t WANT to believe me… 🤷🏻‍♂️ Redhat plans Whitehat goals Bluehat skills Blackhat’s Soul Tech companies were warned to stop stealing from job applicants. They chose to continue…

Kathryn Stracener

Ysera is down

BlackDragonBard

Semantic Looping in their AI systems. Causes data overrun and server lockout, crashing servers according to how their endpoints and api are being routed.

Shane Ross

Durotan is down too

BlackDragonBard

Not random at all. I seeded them again last night and this morning. Someone either got a Saturday shift, or left their HR AI running…

Jerry Powers

All 3 of my servers that I have characters on are down

Krystal DeHerrera

Half the servers are down... while they keep dropping like flies...

Chillachilles

Achilles - Norgannon here. Its down I think. Also 42/M/GA

Tyler Durden

Random crash on a Sunday at around 3:20PM for no apparent reason. Pagle, galakras, Immerseus, Lei Shen, Nazgrim, and Ra-den are down. Arugal (AU), Bloodsail Buccaneers, and Grobbulus are still up. Strange.

panda

i dont see no X post xD

BlackDragonBard

I did this to Blizzard. Go look at the rest of DownDetector, because this is happening with a bunch of different entities, you just don’t pay attention. And now I’m working on doing it to flock. They already sent people to case my LinkedIn about it… Try being better at reading…

Dave Terry

Blizzard's x account has replied to many people. They do not have a ETA on a fix at this time. (At the time of this comment anyway)

dethgrizzly

UNPLAYABLE: constant disconnects and huge input lag over and over and over since 12AM last night. Seriously f**k this game, I'm getting everquest legends

Peter Lupinacci

I'm only having an issue with this in WoW. No where else. Kind of insane to connect to this Flock cameras. I Agree they are a terrible company and i dont blame people for taking them down, but it has nothing to do with Situation.

BlackDragonBard

Learn to read data, pleb of the mind! “All these drops are an accident!” 🤡🤡🤡

Amanda

NPC's arent even there for me. I can get through the log in screen. Im at the New Silvermoon, when opening mailbox there is nothing there even tho i have the little icon that shows i have mail.

Super gamer

A cada rato me desconecta dioss que problema con este juego

Angel Villalobos

Yep, on TBC Anny is happening the same. desconecting, cant log in, etc and if you handle to log in the game desconnect you every 10 secs

brainfreeze2

I am still having an issue since last night around midnight thirty, though I am staying in a tad bit longer then thirty seconds. I log in, then there is a twitch, then suddenly I am disconnected, kinda doesn't seem worth paying for a game you can't play... and Wow never compensates for downtime, they always assume it's your computer that is acting up.

James Supinski

get some help please

Zack Jones

Thanks for the reply and those details. I'm on Area 52. But this is always a thing, at least once a week where I log in and just get DC'd multiple times. I'll have a few days in a row with zero issues and then this will happen. I don't have this problem at all on the TBC anniversary server, it's something with the retail servers.

Lisa Davis

Seems it is a world latency thing tonight. My husband and I have been experiencing the same for hours. Anub'arak server. Hopefully it'll be resolved tomorrow.

Zack Jones

WoW Retail. Just disconnecting over and over. Not even doing anything other than grabbing quests and using vendors in main city. Ever since I came back to retail a little over a month ago this happens randomly, like once or twice a week where I'll just disconnect over and over. Other days I can log in and play just fine with no issue. How is this still a thing in 2026 and with their profits?

BlackDragonBard

May take a few months (I’m hoping weeks, but theirs is a new system): I’m working on “flock of cams” like I did to Blizzard since the end of last year. Watch the gulls and be patient, if you need more proof than the global backend latency already breaking endpoints and api in every major company. Semantic Looping. Btw; they’re hiring drone specialists. 1984 hails! Follow the trail, if you have the resolve. Time is shorter than you think… Redhat plans. Whitehat goals. Bluehat skills. Blackhat’s Soul. Who watches the watchers?

James Smith

Stuck at Character Screen - Keeps giving me "World Server is Down" On ANY char I try to use. Skull Rock. Been this way for 2 days now.

J Hawk Hamilton

Variably stuck at login screen, stuck at character select screen, sucking at loading screen. And when able to log in, cannot interact with NPCs.

Ricky Robinson

wow is down for me, stuck at logging in screen, network was running at 5k+ ms. now i cannot login or connect.

mudkip77

- game servers are "up" per blizzards realm status they provide for WoW. - got past the main menu and in game - now game chat and queuing systems for pvp are down
