classic.wowhead.comIf we could get any coherent answer from them at all that would be great. Super frustrating not knowing what we should do besides being told to keep farming by people who play on servers with 10k players who most likely didn't do any farming themselves.

Hopefully devs read wowhead because they sure as shit aren't reading our bug reports or tickets

Yes. And seriously WHAT THE FUCK BLIZZARD. This shit has been on the front page of reddit multiple times and still no changes to this bug. AND I KNOW YOU MOTHER FUCKERS READ THIS SHIT.

Yeah, the issue for us isn't that Felstriker won't open the gates eventually without it, the issue is that the expectation was set by Kaivax in the blue post and it's clearly not happening and we're being left in the dark. If the devs decided not to go through with autocomplete just say so and we have to accept it.
16
Yeah people have been pointing out Blizzards hatred for the Classic fanbase. This is a situation where they would have done much less harm by saying nothing..
Instead they stated something, didn’t do it and misdirected the small server community.

Well they better own up and do it god damn. If not my server along with a few others are completely fucked. Won't open the gates for at least a year.

Good thing transfers are open! Money printer go brrr

Love the higher pop servers acting like the bots didn't do half the work for them SMH.
12
Good point lolololol

Just waiting for the troll crowd to roll in and call the low pop servers "lazy"

"People are being paid more to stay in Ironforge and NOT turn in materials!"
something like that right?

When you say a 10th of the population, you do realise there is a total of 522 players at 60 for a server such as Felstriker, with just 97 of them being Horde. Honestly to get to where they are is a monumental effort and started WELL before the AQ date was set. People on there have farmed more than entire guilds to get this thing over the line, and to have no movement from “customer support” on such an issue is pretty ridiculous and disappointing.
10
I think I was on dunemaul. The horde side had 3 raiding guilds that could actually accomplish anything. 3 became 2 during BWL, then 1 in AQ, then 0 in Naxx.

So to be clear - if Blizzard states in a blue post that they’re going to do something, then doesn’t do it after letting people make plans around this particular statement, this is ok? This is a recreation of the Vanilla experience, in which there was an auto complete mechanic. It’s simply not working in any way we can theorise and trying to get an official answer, rather than nonsense from non-existent customer support

I suspect the “fix” to this bug will just be to magically autocomplete it on a particular day. Still not good enough though.

Hope you guys get this working. It's a shame there is not a dedicated dev looking into major bug reports for classic. Classic is responsible for doubling subscription numbers but Activition is putting all their devs to focus on Shadowlands. It's amazing not even one dev is dedicated to classic for emergencies.

REAL TALK WHAT THE FUCK

Please vote this up.
The lowpop Servers dont have a voice otherwise.
Please help us!

I fully understand Blizzard isn't promoting or developing Classic as their effort is on their current game. However, this is not developing or promoting, this is maintaining which is something that was presented from the onset of Classic. We don't ask very much beyond a faithful recreation of a classic. This is simply delivering on that promise. This isn't about changing anything, but simply making it work like it did in the original which is the overall raison d'etre of WoW Classic.

next stop the ACCC.

Me waiting for the economy to recover.

It worked on Hydraxian Waterlords EU... alliance had been slacking and the automatic turn ins covered the last percentages. Finally we get to go AQ next week!
-8
When did you first notice the auto complete take effect? And was it noticable on all non-complete turn ins or just the lowest?
3
they didnt. Im on hydrax. We completed the war effort before the reset.
8
I'm on Hydraxian and was pretty involved in a lot of the War Effort stuff - we didn't notice any automatic completion. There was a huge farming effort in the last few days when people realised that the autocomplete wasn't happening. That said, it's possible it had been ticking alongside the farming, but unlikely if other servers are reporting zero movement on much lower %ages - we were over 95% complete overall (linen at the lowest percentage of around 85% a couple of days out).

You guys should've known what you were getting into when you rolled in a low pop server :)

Nah I'm just memeing, it was just frustrating that people basically said the same thing with no sympathy during the arugal layer situation, it really sucks to be fked over by Blizzard once again.
-1†
I just want to say, I was on Arugal day one. I rerolled because over the years in retail my characters ended up on dead servers multiple times - leaving me with zero option outside of paid transfer on 4-5 capped characters.
I ended up spending $125 AUD TWICE - I played on Dath’Remar, Barthilas and Frostmourne.
Knowing that, I thought it would be pretty ignorant to expect any different. With Arugal queues being 10-20 thousand players deep on launch it was pretty obvious how it would turn out.
Yojamba resident here, having a great time. Not trying to be a smartass just pointing out that you literally dug your grave. Yes Blizzards shit but you can’t break your leg then complain about the healthcare.
At this point I really want Arugal players to stick to their lane. They are so quick to call Yojamba a “Dead” server (6.5K active 60s lol) so apparently they want no queues but very damn close to the server cap.. if they all transfer over my “dadguild” server is going to be filled with tryhard toxic elitism.

This has nothing to do with choice of server. I rolled on Felstriker day 1 and have only become happier with that decision as time goes on.This is about Blizzard either being impossible to raise this bug with, or lying in a blue post where they promised something that is clearly not happening.
We WILL open the gates and in the very near future (we are 80% overall which doesn't include several thousand Firebloom we are holding solely for the ability to schedule the 10 hour war event for our community);
All we want is to know whether this is a bug or intentional so we can continue to plan our efforts accordingly instead of wondering what the hell is going on.

Ironic that we manage to both simultaneously complain about arugal queues/layers *and* felstriker being dead, is it not?
-1
Fun fact Thalnos was one of the top 3 pop US servers at one point, with 8+ hour qs when there was multiple layers, but it got fucked by blizzard so hard that its one of the lowest pop right now. I know you are memeing but its so dumb that some people from big servers actually think what you are saying.

Been on Anathema since it was available, server was medium pop and initially growing.

Thank god they're covering this. Surely Blizzard will respond to a WoWhead Article
After numerous tickets and pretty wtf responses including the below quote one of our most active community members contacted wowhead through discord to let them know what's happening. It's a constant story of pulling teeth at every corner but at least we're making some progress."Please understand that we don't inform our Dev all the time especially when the major launch is coming very soon. If we do ring them up for everything that is perceived to not be working as intended, our devs would never get anything done"
[Update 23 hours later: Blizzard have finally addressed the issue and things should be working now!]
https://classic.wowhead.com/news=317825/ahnqiraj-war-effort-automatic-turn-ins-for-small-servers-starting-over-the-next-
What if the way the automatic turnins work isn't how you think it works?
If you can come up with a way that hasn't already been disproven, and works with what blizzard said they're going to do I'll be impressed.
We've been theorising every possible way it could work, most based off GM responses to our tickets, and disproven every one of those theories.
Refer to the previous reddit post for more info, the new post here is calling attention to todays's wowhead article to further legitimize the bug reports
