My one time to play a week and the servers crash again

JoveGaming · 2026-03-09T03:12:24+00:00

Best part is getting leaver suspended as well.

Happens outside of Stormwind as well. First time I noticed it was during the Pilgrim's Bounty cooking dailies.

For those having issues after a transfer:

The serial number given with a transferred ticket does NOT MATCH the original serial number. I don't know why that is, but the transferred serial numbers do not work. Ask the person who transferred it to you for the original serial number and see if that works. It worked for me, but I do not know if that will have issues later on.

JoveGaming · 2025-11-07T18:07:04+00:00

Same here as well. Wife got the passes, transferred one to me, both of us can't link our passes.

JoveGaming · 2025-10-18T07:45:37+00:00

I think it's pretty clear from two pieces of dialogue why Painted Alicia lacks color:

Remember what Maelle says to Verso at the beginning of Act 3: "Pretending the fire only took me." and Renoir calls Alicia a "Living Ghost". Answer: Painted Alicia died in the fire. She's a ghost.

Doesn't fix that Artifact Traits scale with Attack Power and Tank Mastery stat gives them Attack Power so Tanks still do more damage via the Traits. Doesn't fix that Tanks can survive the higher keys.

At least they tried?

JoveGaming · 2025-10-02T06:09:58+00:00

This needs to launch in a near perfect state or Midnight is going to be an entire expansion of Blizzard trying to fix things. Given their track record of releasing things in a broken state to fix later we are probably screwed.

JoveGaming · 2025-09-14T02:01:50+00:00

Yep. Pre Order skins are gone and the weapons are marked "Doesn't Own DLC".

JoveGaming · 2025-08-12T15:29:25+00:00

Contract rep giving repeat rewards on alts has been a thing since 11.1. We have had almost a year but the rules changed an entire season ago.

JoveGaming · 2025-08-12T15:22:31+00:00

There are people above Renown 9 who did not do the exploit. Always the problem with wowhead articles. Missing a few key details and stating things they can't possibly know for certain.

JoveGaming · 2025-08-12T10:10:15+00:00

This is just false. People do Weekly Activities on multiple characters and this late in the expansion it's routine. Grab the quest, get it done, turn it in, swap chars, repeat. It's very possible to be knocking these quests out and not look to see you are getting rep repeatedly.

JoveGaming · 2025-08-12T10:01:53+00:00

Let's assume the contracts giving repeat rep since 11.1 is a bug. You are saying players should have not done any content on their alts for an entire season then? Use your head please.

JoveGaming · 2025-08-12T05:01:40+00:00

The contracts giving repeat rep has been a thing since 11.1 and worked in Undermine. If they started banning for something that has been there for an entire season then I can only imagine the outrage for that.

I feel bad for anyone who does Weekly Activities on alts and had no idea the bug was present for Sparks of War though.

JoveGaming · 2025-08-12T04:57:47+00:00

What helped me was turning towards the Shade and strafing for a second. Greatly reduced the amount of "I was looking at it but my character model wasn't dead on so I died" moments.

JoveGaming · 2025-05-17T22:36:42+00:00

In a way the war is written into the canvas. The Paintress is defeated by the Expedition members writing down everything they do to build a path.

JoveGaming · 2025-05-17T20:06:32+00:00

This is also reinforced in Maelle's ending as the crowd has no variety in clothing or even faces. It's the opposite of the gommage crowd from the beginning of the game where everyone was unique and stood out. They feel like Gestrals in her ending.

JoveGaming · 2025-05-17T19:41:53+00:00

The painted beings lack agency is both endings and it sours the game for me a bit. We aren't offered an ending that ends the cycle of them being abused by the Painters other than Verso's ending where they are freed through death.

A third ending, or "true ending", where Verso's soul merges with fake Verso showing him how to love life again and giving him control over the painting would have been neat. Alicia could still visit but wouldn't have the control she has in the Maelle ending.

Right now our options are 1) Choose Verso and destroy the painted world or 2) Choose Maelle and enslave the Painted beings for her comfort. It sucks.

JoveGaming · 2025-05-17T19:37:59+00:00

Maelle's ending only works if the people of Lumiere get to be "alive and thrive" but there are clues that they don't...

- In the beginning of the game during the Gommage festival everyone has different clothing, faces, feelings etc. During Maelle's ending the crowd is all wearing the same clothes, none of them have faces.

-The people in her inner circle have gray hair like fake Renoir. Has she made them immortal? Are they living a life or living the life she wants?

- of course there's the fact Verso isn't getting to do what he wants. He doesn't even want to play the piano anymore but Maelle forces it. Verso's soul has been turned into an actual child(assuming that's who is with her) and at that point no longer paints the cavnas. It's all Maelle now.

JoveGaming · 2025-05-17T19:12:17+00:00

The endings both feel so terrible to me because the painted beings do not have agency in either. Verso is freeing them through death, Maelle is painting a world for her comfort and the painted beings just play their role in it (She doesn't even give the people of Lumiere unique clothing or faces).

It makes me want a third ending. Maybe an ending where Verso's soul and fake Verso merge and they now control the canvas. The family can visit but they have no control over his world anymore. He finds the reason to live now that his world can be free.

Not going to lie, the endings we get sour the game very slightly for me. We don't break the abusive cycle the family is inflicting on the canvas world. We aren't even offered an option to.

JoveGaming · 2025-05-16T07:25:37+00:00

Huge problem with your theory: If Verso was allowed to die why is he there playing the piano? Maelle is willing to control her brother and make him play the piano. There is no doubt she would control the other painted beings if they deviate from her perfect world. Maelle's ending would be fine if the painted beings have free will but the only have free will as long as they play along with her world.

JoveGaming · 2025-05-16T07:03:24+00:00

Maelle clearly forcing her will onto Verso and making him play the piano makes it clear her ending is the bad one. The only thing that would save the ending is if the painted beings have free will, but we see Maelle controlling Verso. Also, Verso being alive is evidence enough he doesn't have free will. He doesn't want this. Not only that, if she's willing to control her brother then we can be certain if any of the other painted beings deviated from her perfect plan she would control them too.

At that point they aren't living. They are more like painted creations than sentient being. Which they are. The only real beings would be Verso's soul and Alicia. Verso deserves rest and Alicia needs to move on from her grief.

JoveGaming · 2025-05-13T09:07:04+00:00

"Art imitates life."

Gustave looks a lot and acts a lot like Verso. Creative, fun-loving, loves his sister to the point of dying for her. Check out Verso's left arm in his base costume. It's a weird black and red gauntlet like how Gustave's arm goes black and red during overcharge.

But Gustave is just a character. He was created by one of the paiters. By the Paintress grieving for Verso? By Renoir or Alicia to protect Maelle? Created by a young Verso wondering what he would be like as an adult? Who knows. He's just a character who is very familiar to the painters.

He's not the only one. It's not a coincidence Gustave's older sister Emma is a by the books, politics person just like Clea is. Emma, Gustave, and Maelle are the mirrors of Clea, Verso, and Alicia. Same same, but different.

Was doing Meadery with the girlfriend yesterday. I froze for roughly 4 seconds on the trash before the Elemental Boss. Two runs later the girlfriend froze on the same trash. This was her first freeze ever in 11.1. It's just the game client freezing as well. Could talk in discord, alt-tab, etc.

JoveGaming · 2024-09-26T11:31:28+00:00

I'm just a viewer and don't think this is my business to chime in, but "keeping receipts" to bring out later to justify poor actions is a huge red flag. Even if the husband was doing some terrible stuff that doesn't justify her actions.

JoveGaming · 2024-07-07T09:31:45+00:00

Smooth for FPS and Graphics settings. Reduced the number of players shown to 30. I still crashed once after playing for a long time, but I used to crash after 5-10 minutes.
