Game is unplayable today

In Development WoW: Forever Beta Discussion

whatever update or server change went through with that latest patch has made the game an unplayable mess of constant disconnects and 10 second + lag spikes

Just wanted to bump this because it’s 100% true. I’ve been disconnected 4 times just trying to go from Org to Deadmines.

Same problem, completely unplayable. Constant ‘You have been disconnected’, then a login queue of ~1000 people who also look to have been disconnected. Happens every 5-minutes or so.

there are long que’s and when I do get in I can only play for a minute or 2 before I’m disconnected.

I would like to confirm that I too am experiencing constant disconnects.

Get disconnected only to have “A character with that name already exists” pop up. Like my char gets disconnected but for some reason the server sees it still online or something?

Edit: finally just got back in

Bumping, DC’s are constant today since the patch from yesterday afternoon. Before that patch, was golden on my end.

Was also getting frequent disconnects last night. One during RoL that reset me back to the start of the instance. Thankfully the group didn’t kick me and I was able to find my way back, but did miss out on a boss kill and a quest as a result =(

Also getting really really insane lag spikes with 37ms world/local. Like everyone else running in place for 10-20 seconds, crafts taking 30s for a 10s craft, spells taking 10+s to start casting. The worst was probably hitting “exit game” to log off for the night and it just sat there for a few minutes before it decided I was ok to actually exit game.

Agreed. Instant disconnects constantly for the past couple hours.

I’m at 4 consecutive dc’s, about 1-2 minutes apart, over the past 8 minutes.

Hopefully this is just a beta thing that they’ll sort out.

Can’t play for more than 5 to 10 minutes without getting DC’d. IDK what’s going on today, but it’s definitely unplayable right now.

Since patch yesterday, I have seen an improvement in FPS, but there has been an increase in latency, usually intermittent hang-ups lasting maybe 2 seconds before recovery. I have also started getting disconnects and related errors e.g. Character Not Found, A Character With That Name Already Exists.

Disconnects and rollbacks as well. Sometimes you’ll get disconnected and when you get back in you’ll get a “A character with that name already exists” or “character not found”, and then you finally are able to get into game you’ve lost the last 5 minutes of play.

Blizzard needs to seriously just turn off their ****ing servers and fix this. The beta became unplayable as of yesterday.

Last night I got disconnected 3x in a row with rollbacks every time. Then I started getting the “Character with this name already exists” error for 20 minutes when trying to log back on. It’s all since that new patch went through yesterday that this has begun happening.
