Arguably one of the most enjoyable modes that have been in WoW for quite some time now is the Wargame feature. This is a game mode that allows groups of players to fight against one another in an arena without too many restrictions. There usually aren’t any huge losses associated with the mode either, meaning that one can enjoy playing it with groups of players without any pressure.
When trying to start a Wargame, players might be met with a message which says their WoW Wargame request failed. This has always been a common issue, and is even more so nowadays. Here are some solutions which should be able to help all players encountering the error message whenever they try to start a Wargame with other players.
How to Solve Wargame Request Failed in WoW?
- Use Add-Ons
The first and most recommended solution is using add-ons to solve the issue. It is a known fact by now that Blizzard has made it so that the Wargame mode is no longer a part of the game’s UI.
The reason for this isn’t all that known, as players really enjoyed the mode and still played it regularly. Regardless, the mode is still playable despite not being a part of the UI anymore. It is still a part of the game, and it can be accessed through add-ons.
If you try to request a Wargame while not using add-ons, the request will almost certainly fail. But if you use add-ons, like the very popular WarGameHelper, you’ll be able to play with others without any further problems. You can use the previously mentioned mod or any of other multiple others you’ll find online. Most of them should be able to help you solve the issue.
- Syntax Issue
While it is usually unlikely, it’s a possibility that there’s a problem with the syntax which you’ve provided to WoW to start the Wargame. Any kind of issue with this syntax at all, especially any errors in the name of the players you’re trying to start the Wargame with, will cause a failure with the request. The solution is pretty simple.
You just have to input the syntax again, while only making sure that there is absolutely no mistake in the middle of it all which could cause a failure with the Wargame request. Once you’ve made sure all the details are correct, enter the command and the battle should commence sooner rather than later.
- Requirements Not Met
Lastly, it is also possible that the requirements to initiate the Wargame haven’t been met by both parties. This is a common reason for the request failing, and it is almost definitely the reason why you’re encountering this error if the previous two solutions didn’t work.
There are specific player number requirements and more of the sort for every specific arena in the Wargame mode that need to be matched in order to get started. Once these requirements have been met, try sending the request again and it should work.
