In Australia it can take 30+ minutes of waiting and searching to find a 4v4 random team game. I’ve tried playing from 4:30am, 9am-5pm, after 12am and all takes about 1/2 an hr to search for a game ever since Warcraft 3 Reforged got updated on 21st August 2022 until today and is still not fixed. The worst and longest i had to wait was 2hrs 20 mins Please Blizzard Engineers, IT Technical Support, Games Testers, Software Development team, IT Programmers, IT Administrators, IT Solutions Developers, Network Administrators, IT Architects, Game Creators, Quality Assurance Analysts give us a new patch or download that would fix this problem ASAP and not make us have to wait until 3rd January 2023 or when the ladder rankings gets reset. Why can’t you just make life easy for us and let us connect to U.S East, U.S West, North America, South America, Europe, U.K, Asia, Australia easily like how they do it in w3 Champions. I hope you guys can just scrap the MMR system altogether and make it like how it was before the download patch in August 2022 where all games could be found in under 2 minutes as all this amount of waiting and anxiety is very detrimental to our health and not healthy for us. Please let there be someone in Blizzard that is smart enough to fix this problem once and for all and hope that this will be just an easy and simple fix. All the best!
None of those people you mentioned are assigned to the project, or read this forum. The game isn’t going to be worked on in a meaningful way until next year. There are only three Blizzard servers - none in SA or Oceania, and that is unlikely to ever change.
Use W3Champions.
This is getting beyond sad, crazy and unreasonable. I have been a Warcraft 3 player for over 20+ years ever since when Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne was on the old slow dial up networking 56kbps modem on the telephone lines that made the hissing and static noises. I miss the good old days of having to go to internet cafes where it costed $2 per hr just to play this game on their broadband cable internet. Playing this game with the classic dial up internet was annoying but even back then it doesn’t take like forever which is what is happening right now to find 4v4 games. If this game was playable on the old copper wire telephone analog lines i don’t see why they can’t easily fix this problem with todays new and improved technology. I can understand if you can’t find games and have to wait for ages if this game is dead but its not so can you please get a technician to look into this issue and i’ll promise to stop hassling you guys any further. Its already November now and how much more patient can we be. All i’m asking is for you guys to make it back like how it use to be before the patch version 1.33 got realeased in August 2022 when the game was actually fun and all 4v4 games could be found in 2 minutes flat for all us Australian gamers. Other people has suggested to install a VPN and set your ip to a Chicago IP address which would definitely fix this problem but im afraid that could make things worst or even more complicated if you’re not an IT expert. Have fun!
We Asian players are also facing this problem, I am from South Asia and I have to wait around 20-30 minutes to find a game. It is totally frustrating to wait this long. Sometimes even after 30 minutes I cannot find game. Please fix the problem as quick as possible.
Blizzard, please give us back 1.32 patch that can almost instantly or less 2min to be found, instead of 1.33 patch that game takes forever to be found. Most of us dont need any complicated mmr. We just want game to be instantly found and be able to play!
I think the ladder is allright, but the bugs need 2 be fixed and searchtimes
