Hello blizz, I resubscribed for cataclysm and noted with dismay that dungeon finder was limited to purely OCE, but random battlegrounds were OCE + NA. This was puzzling, and eventually disheartening.
For MOP it would be nice to have dungeon finder extended to OCE + NA, like how battlegrounds are.
no way… playing with slide show characters is lame…
god I hope not but I hope they find a solution for oce folks.
Yes this is a major issue for Oceanic servers. Causing several players to quit as queue times even as tank can exceed an hour. I know you can exploit this with Trial accounts but could we please just make it default? It worked really well for Battlegrounds
Not gunna lie, if they did this OCE server players would probably just be vote kicked the second they grouped with NA players.
we need all of oce on arugal horde and rdf connected to US west and hosted on US west unless all players are from OCE.
the thought of OCE hosted dungeons makes most US players crap their pants so its not worth arguing about.
we are unlikely to get much support on here from blizz or players
didn’t they merge once and then they reverted it because the amount of crying people did? you won’t ever get it again now, shocked blizzard did anything the first go.
people are a lot more ping sensitive than i am i guess, in SoD I played a bunch of bgs vs aussie premades and it was a tiny bit noticeable but barely and I’m in europe, I have 200+ ping to aus servers, I can’t imagine that OCE players on NA would cause noticeable problems
wow is a game that is most pretty kind to bad connections, there’s a 1.5 second global for every button press
if pvp can handle it, i’m sure scholomance can too
yuck, it’s so annoying playing with 250ms. There’s basically one OCE server alive that’s horde dominated with around 4k players.
no. they’ve never been merged. They’ve only been able to play together on retail and both parties hate it.
From us east it’s like 220 ms which is pretty bad but I guess for leveling dungeons it wouldn’t matter as much. Probably can go lower if they’d make it so oceanic can only queue with us west which would already be a decent upgrade.
Lag fest. No thanks. Sorry but you folks over there seem to have some pretty terrible connections.
OCE RDF is so dead, queues take at least an hour, we need cross realm queues with US West, you can make it so that instances are always hosted on the US west side, I’d take 200ms over hours of queue anyday.
Please Blizzard this is a serious problem. OCE can rarely get a leveling dungeon to even pop. The BGs are already linked to US, please link the dungeon finder.
Americans seem to think it will ruin their experience, but there are already as many Australians on US servers as their are on the actual OCE servers. If it’s that big of an issue, just have all OCE dungeons be hosted on US W or E.
No.
UNLESS, it always forces OCE players to NA servers. I will just leave every single time I join a dungeon and my ms spikes because I’m on OCE servers. I’ve had no problem leaving bg’s for literal years in retail. I will have no problem doing so in dungeons in classic.
Leveling and normal, even heroic dungeons aren’t that bad.
they’d jsut have to full retal the lfg ui for better notes for whatever the heroic+ /mythic knockoff will be called. and raid ofc if they really open it up.
Retail lets people put in comments “this is a OCE started group”. see the oce comments, don’t join them if an issue.
Basically fix the notes, and lfg content is better off. RDF/LFD leveling at 250 in a leveling dungeon is not end of the world.
MoP dungeons aren’t that bad. Last run of MoP TW the only sticking point dungeon would be the “temple” one.
all 5 have to know skips off of 2 bridges.
and you have to kill the several lighting casting monks at the start. Or that lightning will cast all the hell away across the instance.
Neither of those issues are ping issues. they are pebkac issues. Problem exists between keyboard and chair.
It’s not the connections at all, its the distance.
US West, you won’t want US East.
Just a bump that this is still a major problem. Please just host OCE RDF on US W so we can actually get a queue pop. We can play this game at 200ms ping, we were doing just fine before WoD and still are on retail. Just make it work the same as retail.
Will not be an issue when pre patch hits, you kind of expect a surge in players again. MoP was a much better expansion than Cata and the numbers showed it back then.
Also playing on Arugal and OCE dungeon queue times are miserable, if they just do what they did with PVP and force OCE to always be on NA ping it would be perfect, as an OCE player, I am use to 200ms and could not care less about it, I just want to be able to queue for a dungeon and have it pop in under 20 minutes, having 1 hour+ queues is disgusting, and unplayable.
