Same issue on Ravencrest EU Alliance too…

22

similar problem for me char loading bar takes ages finally get in see a message voice error 16 looks like people around me are lagging then takes a couple of minutes to log out.
first time i logged out via alt ctrl del then logged in with a different char and i could see my other char in game a real doozy of a bug.

23

I have the same issue on Boulderfist.

I accepted a summon to a M+ and sat on a loading screen until the client logged me out.

Now I have logged back in the first time I load the character I will have an infinite loading screen, every attempt after that gives me the error.

24

Same and whole kultiras is super laggy 2-3 seconds of skill delay. unplayable.
Thought only korrak’s bg was going to be this laggy!

ps. my ping home 60ms, server 66ms.

25

same problem as described above. it’s been 2 hours already and I still can’t log in

26

Same here, hot damm these servers have been having a hard time lately

27

yeah, same here.
Cant log in to anything else either.

5 minutes loading screen. fix please ? (only for my pally stuck in Boralus Harbor)
I also had a 5-6 seconds delay after clicking the Stormwind portal until it actually teleported my toon to SW … fortunately it worked :slight_smile:

thank you !

Same here on Kazzak. Game crashes, super long loading times, then recrashes… Then Character already exists, wait… then repeat… Had it 4 times over 15 minutes now.

  • Can’t pass the loading screen to enter Seething Shore BG.

Same here on Ravencrest

Same issue. Was in game, tried switching characters and I now can login on none of my characters in Boralus. After trying to launch the game again, I got the “A character with that name already exists”.
The log-in process only completes for characters in other places.

Edit: my characters are on Argent Dawn EU

32

Can confirm that boralus is cursed

I can log into anyone but if i log into someone in boralus i crash, then get this issue

33

Same problem

34

Yet again Silvermoon appears to have major issues with logging on and server lag.

35

Same here. Kazzak. Tried troubleshooting, resetting my interface, allowing time to pass, logging onto different characters. Either the loading screen never resolves or the character already exists error.

Edit: And after writing this just now it resolved itself for no reason automatically. Alright.
