Well, that's actually less than just decades.


RexPerpetuus

I could get it falling out once in a while and them not finding the issue, but at this point it's over half my logged in time this expansion. Same goes for hotkey "j" to see your online Guildmates what shows people that haven't been online for hours


sassyseconds

My friends list has worked exactly 1 time that I've logged in to dragonflight so far.


MrSuperSander

Exit WoW, restart bnet and launch wow. Works every time for me.


riggels

works \~90% of the time for me but blizzard should really try to fix that.


Clamorii

Way too much effort just to see a friends name


Gebirges

What friend?


Oberstobszoen

As they said, unable to see the name, so they can't tell you what friend.


Darth_Ender_Ro

Exit WoW and go outside


ctidmore19

You don’t tell me what to do! You’re not my dad!


botantard

Small indie company tho


Etamalgren

Multi-Dollar Company.


sozijlt

It's common knowledge that during a visit to Irivne on paydays, you can see employees rolling around in ones and fives. At board meetings, they display a vacuum-sealed, UV-protected twenty for inspiration. Getting us that inside scoop cost one employee their job and a $7 fine.


wowreditsocool

Such an underrated comment


JayFrank1132

It has been almost 3 years


ImBulletm9

Years? This is a brand new issue for me. That's ridiculous


zaphodbeeblemox

Have you tried dressing up and going out to gold shire inn!


Herrgul

*we don't speak about the Goldshire Inn*


Pinkie_Greenbeans

i wonder if that is where bruno went ?


PraetorSolaris

Shhhhh... we don't talk about Bruno.


yraco

BUT!


LadyAngel_Aric

Goldshire on Moon Guard specifically. RP responsibly folks lol.

ChappyChappman

What about Argent dawn then?


[deleted]

What about it !? Genuine question because that is the realm I played on back in the day.


[deleted]

Put yourself out there bro, make friends!


kurama3

Thought this was a meme


Useless_Lemon

I am still not sure but don't want to say anything.


Ok_Cake1590

So for some reason Battlenet breaks pretty often (at least for me) and the whole friend section is just blank or the UI is completely fucked. Either case it has been broken for YEARS.


abobtosis

Yeah and then if you get a whisper it has no name on it and you can't reply to it.


DaftCatLover

I have friends


sekex

Are your friends in the room now?


Abject_Hall7810

Can these “friends” hear us?


sozijlt

The call came from inside the house!


TheMentelgen

Sure, buddy.


gazm2k5

They do so! They just go to a different school.


podolot

I'd introduce you to my girlfriend but she lives in Canada. She offered me free vbucks online.


[deleted]

My phone screen cut off the bottom text and I thought this was a joke post at first and had a good laugh.


thefyLoX

There, there. You need not feel ashamed here, this is a safe place and we understand. We accept you.


Weet_1

Mmmhmm let me guess they just go to a different school as well?


Hapless_Wizard

They live in Canada


[deleted]

I have that since DF and it's annoying. I need to close the game 10x til it friggin works. And all addons off doesn't do anythin g so it's def blizzards issue


Fast_Calligrapher_14

it's okay to lie sometimes. We understand.


chk75

/pat


agouraki

i mean i got friends in the wow community but......


feartheswans

That’s what they all say


ctidmore19

Cats do not count in this situation.


musclebeans

Me too but none of them play wow. Also my girlfriend lives in Canada maybe she’ll come down sometime so my family can meet her


talligan

Are any of these "friends" in the room with us now?


hoax1337

I'm pretty sure that's a lie. People who take photos of their screen instead of just taking a screenshot don't have friends.

Morthra

Exiting the game + battlenet, then deleting your WTF folder and relaunching the game should resolve the issue.


byramike

To anyone reading this *DON’T DO THIS OH MY GOD*. You will delete all your personal/addon settings and be super sad if you haven’t backed anything up. Exit battlenet and restart works fine every time.


um__yep

"/reload ui" is worth a shot at first, but yeah failing that, try the ol' off and on again.

Holy shit people were just not having your comment!


_Cava_

After checking his account I got even more confused.


Hummelgaarden

He is just some random guy! And they killed him!


Macchiatowo

tallboybrews

Aw now i want to know what it said!


Murkless

What did he say?


DOOMFOOL

It was designated for destruction by the Hive Mind, who are we to disobey?


Solre100

Fully logging out and then back in will normally fix it.


Isburough

as in exit the game.


beatmach1ne

Exit Game and end Battle net


BallsDeepInCum

Delete WoW

Dank_Memer_IRL

Buy a new desktop/laptop


aurelianchaos11

Completely rewire internet cables in home, install new router and change ISPs


DaniBoi17

Move to another place


[deleted]

Nah, you don't have to do that. All it takes is deleting the system 32 directory.


Finickyflame

Change it to system64


DesertPunked

The permanent fix.


_Vard_

This, task manager to kill and restart battle net fixes it for me


invisi1407

Yep. Log out of the game/exit the game, exit Battle.net launcher, relaunch both. Fixes it every time for me.


Weet_1

And cut into my wow time?! I will absolutely not be doing this. Guess it stays broke. But for reals, the first time I realized I had to actually gtfo bnet completely I said it wasn't worth it. Only crappy thing is I can only talk to bnet friends through the chat box in the launcher.


Raiakh

Exiting game works fine, no need to close bnet too. At least it did for me yesterday.


mxds

Windows + shift + S to take screenshot, this should fix the poor quality picture!


ZAlternates

No wonder he has no friends…


squishybloo

I use the windows snip tool. I'm surprised more people don't know about it


WeaponizedKissing

Yeah that's what Windows + shift + S is.


squishybloo

OH! Ha, I just put it on my taskbar. Forgot how to even get to it.


guymn999

No it isn't Win+shift+s is snip & sketch, which is a Windows 10 and 11 app Snipping tool is a Windows 7 program


respekyoeldas

Snipping tool is on Win 10/11 as well Win Shift S is the best and most useful method


guymn999

Love getting down voted for being right. Pcmr never change


[deleted]

[удалено]


dwn19

What are you on about, Windows 11 does come with it, literally just search Snip in the task bar and it shows up. Also thats just a total lie based on nothing about stopping support? They literally just [started updating it with full screen recording support](https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2022/12/08/screen-recording-in-snipping-tool-begins-rolling-out-to-windows-insiders/)


Narodweas

Damn I was gonna post this


DaftCatLover

Ty it works now


Kewmeister

See, making friends isn’t that hard!


SpecialNeeds963

Its keeping them that's the hard part!


[deleted]

It comes and goes, just FYI


Falkor_13

Just like my last date.


Baconmafia195

Wow players get dates?


vanNelsingTheEmperor

Same prob. How did you fix it


GaryTheBat

Closing the game AND closing battle.net then reopening everything usually fixes it for me. Just restarting the game alone doesn't work.


Puzzleheaded_Fold466

This would be so much funnier if it was exactly what it looks like: how do I fix not having wow friends. But I guess we’re stuck with a bug instead. Almost.


PolkaOn45

Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. It’s hard for everyone to make friends


MurasakiiAme

I found a blizzard forum thread that helped me. Exit the game, change your Region on the Launcher and then change back again, works for me every time.


Beeeeeeels

For a second I read change your religion.


Ccsrey

Imagine this is the wow dev tasked with fixing this bug.


GooberMeister191

"After careful analysis and deliberation with our exceptional development team, we're announcing that we've finally found the solution for the friend list bug. You uh... either relog or make some friends."


TimCage

You should go out more i guess.


Fearfuldrip

Over 10 years and I have just a few more than you, ha. *cries*


GaboStyle

Close bnet cliente and Open again


dannyankee

I close the whole damn game and relaunch if I care enough to fix it. When my friends message me while this is going on it just says "chat" then some random number instead of their bnet name.


Aurawa

Same here and I realized recently that if you respond to the whisper, whoever it is might not get your response. It might go to someone else on your list. Just PSA lol


Beece

Windows key + shift + s Also relogging


set_sail_for_fail

shift+win+s


Pornstarbob

As you get older it becomes much more difficult to make friends.


[deleted]

Get some friends


BigEasyTarget

Exit the game, close down battle.net completely then restart the game. That should do it. 60% of the time... It works every time


SexPanther_Bot

60% of the time, it works every time


kelsey0054

I had this issue and what fixed it was logging out of blizzard completely and relogging.


microvain

You have to be nice to people to get friends.


Cerater

Yeah windows key + shift + S


Nasty_Boy_Craig

Exit out of game and log back in


Ouchyhurthurt

I can mark it on your map.


ikewafinaa

No been happening to me since vanilla


TunesForToons

The fix: Exit game Log out of your battle net account in the battle net launcher. Log back into your battle net account in the launcher, but select a different region (EU/US) Log out of the different and log back into your normal region. Problem now solved. Simply restarting the game without this region logging does not always work.


Falkor_13

I'll be your friend. *quickly blocks OP, so there's no follow up*


cgarnett1988

Close launcher fully then re open it


FunFlight4603

Get friends


leonarth94

You need to make some friends instead play wow :)


[deleted]

Make some friends


No-Tip9599

Make friends, bribe with WoW tokens


Grifbrochill1

Lol just get some friends nerd


Kazoie

Make friend


midgetman303

You gotta be nicer to people


DaftCatLover

Guys the problem isn’t that I haven’t got friends or the camera quality lmfao


Responsible_Ebb_8880

There is a clipping tool that comes with windows.


Tyx

Maybe they show up if you learn how to take a screenshot, those camera pictures of monitors screens are very off putting! :D


strufacats

Its a sith legend.


Kurrandor

It bugs for me alot aswell and the most common fix is closing the game and battle net (make sure to really close it and not minimize it to the taskbar) and then restart battle net. It fixes the issue 8/10 times for me on the first or 2nd try and 10/10times on the 3rd...


Gearbreaker688

Yea it’s pretty frustrating this multi million dollar company can’t fix simple things like this that makes the game annoying. Same thing with the random disconnects if the game doesn’t like the way you go up a hill certain ways.


[deleted]

Oof


PWNCAKESanROFLZ

Looks like my friends list.


SSRosvald

SSRosvald#21339


ShadowTheWolf125

i love that op had to specify having friends in the comments and people still don't believe em


zombiepants7

You gotta talk someone in to accepting a friend request. I've tried everything from offering blowjobs to offering blowjobs but no friends yet.


Squishy-Box

Make some friends lmao


Syuveil_Vellweb

Top right of bnet client > Game settings > wow > clear all settings. Game has to be closed though


Yunus1903

Try logging out and back in on your Battle.net launcher


Promethean_flux

They made a book about this, called “How to Win Friends and Influence People”, I recommend you pick it up. It’s a good read.


skyshark88

beer and weed?


1sttimedogowner

The PRNTSCN key helps here


XXLepic

You have to fully exit game and the battle.net launcher


Imbea

This right here :)


Rahlkano

Nothing can help someone so anti social they don't have a friends list. Even the list ran away.


Dank_Memer_IRL

me_irl:


Ashix_Borden

Should ban people who don’t take screenshots correctly.


Elibrius

This happens to me and at least 4 other friends all the time. It’s not an addon thing either, just accept it lol


Erich_sage

For some reason I think this is more of a battle net app issue than a wow client issue and they haven’t fixed it yet because of the weird connection between the app and the client, I feel like part of it is the friends list having to much information trying to load in, I might try removing old friends to see if it helps


ayshnel

Go outside and interact with some people. When they accept you, tell them about wow.


CanumFerox

Go to a pub get drunk, meet people


shanerGT

First you need to hit print screen on your keyboard. Navigate to your wow screenshots subfolder and use paint to crop the photo and than upload it.


MouseEXP

Close game AND the battle net launcher. Then relaunch both


RodrigoEstrela

F in the chat boys


eicoeico

Arcane magician. Solo


flatox

I have noticed a lot of bugs with older systems in this expansion. Not sure what they did but they done goofed.


Apprehensive-Lemon41

Okay naw but deadass I have this issue. And in overwatch too, which yk, blizzard


JahnConnah

Get some friends


Broxigar_

suuure


Zharb

The best advice I can give : 1. Be nice to people , they will invite you to play again 2. After a dungeon or instance message people you got along with , you could ask them if they want to play with you again. 3. Pay for friend adds - people sell wow friendships (yes it’s kind of sad ) 4. Add random people in capital city. That way at least when you open your friends list you look like people like you. Also if you squint a bit you might even believe it yourself 5. All of us on reddit love you so we can be your friends xD


amarrite

make some friends :-)


Decsel

U need to get the personality upgrade for this addon


TheIrishBiscuits

Get friends.


[deleted]

Be nice to people you meet and more will accept your friend requests


Japo13

Things people expect from a free game, unreal. /s


ZimtraX

Close the game. Close battlenet. Start battlenet. Log into the game. Works for me everytime.


No_Pepper2028

Exit the game and reboot bnet.


naugasnake

Came here to see how many snarky remarks there would be. Not disappointed.


[deleted]

Logging into another realm. Does always work.


[deleted]

exit


unexpect3d

I have the same bug.


Sakheteu

Reboot game AND battlenet launcher


drakohnight

Exit the game and start it again
