Disconnected when using Garrison hearthstone?

Not sure if I should do a bug report, but for a long time (months, at least), whenever I attempt to hearth to my garrison, I get disconnected. Then I reconnect, hearth again, and I’m fine for a while. But then when I log off (say, for the night, or for a few days) and come back, if I want to hearth back, I get disconnected again. Login, re-hearth, I’m good. And this cycle continues.

Is this an issue that has been addressed? Should I submit a ticket for it?

Been an issue for years now.
No harm in submitting a bug report

I use my garrison HS regularly and haven’t had this problem. I’m using it on an ally toon btw if that matters.

I don’t know what factors may be contributing to this, but personally I don’t have any issues with it and I use my garrison hearthstone often on both my Alliance and Horde main toons.

Hm. Interesting… guess I’ll be submitting a bug report then.

I have never seen that happen before. That is very odd.

Yeah, I know you’re not denying it but this is a blizzard support article on it

A post from 2019 about it where a blue denies it which is funny considering their support article on it

A post from 2018

And lots more but yeah, funny it’s still an issue

I lost mine. Not sure when or how, but don’t know how to get it back. I’d be very interested in the response you get. umm The response that doesn’t tell you how many sites to visit before bothering them again. Probably about 4 or 5 replies later.
Good luck, (not sarcastic)

Oh- interesting. I’ll have to check give it all a read when I get home tonight. It’s also interesting that they’ve know about it for so long and haven’t done anything to fix the issue. Thanks for the read!

I’ll save this and if I ever hear back from them and if they offer any helpful advice, I’ll keep you updated.

Damn. I really had no idea. I use my garrisons fairly often and never noticed it.

My theory on this bug

The server has to spin up a new shard to host one’s garrison and the shard isn’t finished booting by the time the hearthstone cast finishes, so when the game tries to teleport you there it fails and crashes the game. When you log back in and try to hearth again, the shard is booted fully so it works fine. When you log off for a while, the server sees there’s nobody in Shadowmoon/Frostfire and shuts down the shard.

This didn’t happen (at least not frequently) back while WoD was current because there were always enough players in Shadowmoon and Frostfire to ensure that a shard for hosting your garrison was always already running, but as expansions have piled on and Draenor was turned into sleepy leveling content that ceased to be true.

In short, Blizz have themselves a race condition to fix.

That would make sense. I never had this issue until I started going back to my garrison a few months back (this past fall, I think?). I was so disgusted with WoD I pretty much left I abandoned for years :joy: But anyway, yeah, it’s not an issue I remember having in the past, only recently when I started going back again.

I used to have this issue. No disconnects for me. A patch may have fixed it.
Use the garrison navy port teleport device as an alternative.

I get this almost every time I Garrison HS the first time in a session.

It’s so consistent that I D/C I usally alt tab and check forums for a few mins… Which is why I’m here bumping this post.

Its happening to me rn also

Yup this is happening to me… getting dced everytime i use the garrison hs

Hmm, hadn’t heard of this one. I have garrison hearth on around 20 characters and have garrison set up at various stages on most of them. I got a whole checklist of stuff I do when I roll a char to get a ton of teleports. Never once had it happen. Wonder why it can persist for years for some people and never ever happen to another even if they do it 5000 times a year.

It’s happening to me, so far no matter how or where I try. Maybe if they get enough bug reports, it will get fixed.

So I had this problem on my old computer but not my new one. Only real difference aside from graphics card is i finally put wow on a ssd instead of a regular hard drive.

STILL GETTING D/C when using GARRISON HS for FIRST TIME a session
