World of Warcraft just dropped a new major patch, the big kind that adds a new area, new quests, dungeons, a delve, a raid, loads of story, and much more. And while it’s normal to have a few bugs any time new content comes out, 11.2 seems to be riddled with weirder problems than usual…including a goofy bug that’s turning some players’ banks German.
The German bug in particular has been reported by several players on English clients, not on EU servers. It’s not game-breaking by any stretch – just odd. It changes the player’s bank tabs to German language. Everything else is unaffected. Funnily enough, some players in other countries and languages are reporting the same bug, but with different languages, such as this German player who says their tabs are in French, and this person playing on the English client from Poland who has French tabs, while their wife’s are German.
That’s not the only bug players are facing, though. I’ve experienced several myself just questing in the new zone, K’aresh, with quests not completing, disappearing from the questlog mysteriously, and certain interactable objects needing the game fully reloaded in order to be used. I also experienced a lot of disconnects last night, and I’m not the only one. Some people are having trouble logging in at all.
Others are running into weirder bugs. This person reports that the game is trying to charge them 500,000 gold just to visit the Darkmoon Faire, which is…a little high. Another person found a bug (which admittedly may be related to a downloaded mod) where their bags have somehow been increased to hold 98 items apiece – far more than any bag currently in the game actually allows.
At the moment, it’s difficult to say if Ghosts of K’aresh is exceptionally buggy compared to other patch releases, or if it just feels bad in the moment because we’re all eager to play as much as possible as fast as possible. Most likely, all of these issues will be fixed within a few days, or at minimum by next Tuesday’s weekly game update.
But in the meantime, if you want to use your bank, you might need to brush up on your German. Viel Glück!
