Hi I seem to be unable to see, use, leave or join the “world channels” of General, Trade and LocalDefense.
When I check the Chat Channel panel all 3 are greyed out and I cannot interact with them.
It only seems to effect me in the open world while I have warmode on and while I am not in a city. This is frustrating as especially in Warmode LocalDefense is really useful.
I have tried the bog standard /leave /join they do not work.
Is this just a bug or is it intended and if it is intended, why?
Try a UI reset, and just so you know, trade is not usable outside a city.
I know trade isn’t usable outside cities and UI reset is the first thing i tried, its such a common sense thing to try I didn’t bother mentioning it. Been playing for 12 years now I know the basic trouble shootings.
I have tried sharing screenshots to help explain my issue but I cant post links for some reason…
And before anyone asks yes I have also tried without addons. This is a base game issue not an addon issue.
I know the issue is also tied to warmode phasing as it only happens while in Warmode. Sadly it seems this wont get an answer because blizz give 0 f’s about EU forums and thus until someone on US reports it, it’s not gettin fixed.
That is what a UI reset is, removing the WTF and Interface folders, not just turning the addons off. You can always copy them back if it doesn’t work.
If it was a problem at Blizzards end then everyone would have it.
The only other thing is that you may have been muted ingame, but you would have received an email about that.
Try rejoining them manually Remnentspast. Go into a city and first leave the channels (I know, sounds a bit strange as you are trying to join them). In chat, type:
/leave 1
/leave 2
/leave 3
/leave 4
Once done, rejoin the channels by typing in the following:
/join general
/join trade
/join localDefense
/join lookingforgroup
Have a few seconds to spare? Let me know how I’m doing!

Still have done this removing wtf etc etc.
It’s a weird issue. It only effects me in warmode in certain zones, seemingly older ones.
I also like how Nenyasqi didnt read my post before replying with a copy paste of a blizz repair manual which I stated 4 lines lower in the same post they quoated that I had tried that fix first.
Yepp, same Problem here in Legion-Zones, kinda impossible to get the invasions done if you can reach to anybody XD
Try pressing the “Chat Defaults” button in the bottom of the chat settings pane, this solved it for me a couple days ago on an alt.
Hey there Brauerli,
As Magiola mentioned, try first resetting the chat defaults and see if that helps.
Also make sure you do not have any addons causing it. Type /disableaddons into chat and if that doesn’t help, you can try a UI reset.
This thread is pretty old so if you need any more help with this, I’d ask that you create a new thread over on our Technical Support forum please.
