Currently I’ve only ever gotten into dungeons with other oceanic players, as a result the queues in low level dungeons are atrocious, please at least let low level dungeons pool from US realms.

NA won’t like that, though I think if it prio’s NA as the host they’re open to it. Even then though 200 ping isn’t much in dungeons.
Yeah, you could always just roll on US servers, but my vote would be to remove AU servers from the US pool and sub. Maybe they could make Singapore servers for Asia & Australia/New Zealand.

Telling us to just roll on US servers is just another way of saying that you don’t care about the OCE region. You’re asking to spend potentially hundreds of dollars or just completly start fresh in a place where you’d have to raid early because Melbourne/Sydney time is 17 hours behind LA (it’s 9:13 pm on a Monday for LA, while it’s 2:13pm on a Tuesday here in Australia)
That’d do nothing, those people are already on the OCE servers, well server… There’s no good reason not to connect OCE to NA for dungeons I’m pretty sure they’ve already done this in retail. Also I was very specific, OCE to NA not NA to OCE.
Also I don’t know what you mean by sub, do you mean subscribtion? If you do I still don’t get it.
That’s right!
Yes, I don’t think it should be a North American region subscription. I think it would be much better to have a Singapore region for Asia/Oceana.

Better for who? OCE? It’d make no difference.
That could work, but even there I would consider it nearly unplayable to play US east with OCE even if it’s just them getting the bad ping, I have way better ping with EU west.
For both OCE and for US.
It sure would! It would be a huge latency difference.

for people saying us realms won’t like it i’ll mention that we had cross region dungeon finder on since it came out on retail back in OG wotlk. this is a classic-specific problem.
you can currently also /invite toonname-realm to us players and queue with them that way cross-region. it’s specifically only pooling oce with oce players when they queue themselves.
look like i said even if they just make it for leveling ranges/normals. then you can have your low latency for your elemental rune dungeons.
Rather not have CRZ, total crap system that should’ve never been in the game.

In my days of retail, US players whined so much about being put on a OCE server in dungeons.
I don’t see a problem if it’s low level dungeons. For a year all I could get was satellite internet and the lat time was 760 ms. I could do the low level dungeons but raiding and mythics was impossible at that lat time. I’d have to see what the lat time is for oceanic players before we let oceanic players in NA higher level dungeons or raids.
It’s ~200-250.
That doesn’t seem too bad. You could probably do normal raids with that but maybe not heroics or the new mythics. Back when wow was released I played with 220 and I raided and did heroics in BC and Wrath without a problem, as a healer. People forget how it was 20 years ago but many if not most of us played with about 200 lat time back then.
To be fair, for leveling dungeons, there is no reason not to have cross region.
Oh wow someone has 150-200 ping in Deadmines at level 22 >.<

It wasn’t all that bad for regular runs. Leveling and heroic spam for quests. These don’t need the sweat of mythic to some peoples views.
And mythic was not in the lfd/rdf. Most oce crews put this in the ad as well. If one was in that much in a rush took that run, that was on them.
Retail lfg supported better comments than classic in the past. Copy those over for the mythic knockoff to come in mop, In retail oce crews would say dudes, we are oce. Or us crews could say no oce. And sa lol.
For reasonable gamers it’s their group so their rules is accepted. We don’t riot act over it. See in eve I’ve waved off a few groups. I don’t speak Dutch, Russian etc. those crews were not for me lol. They had their fun, I found mine elsewhere.
