this is happening to me alot !!
Happening today Feb 2022 on my Hunter. Not demon hunter.
Getting disconnected sometimes when initiating wild pet battles everywhere. I resumed pet battling and started experiencing this two months ago.
Also disconnected frequently when flying up or simply hovering in certain spots in Legion zones only (druid travel form) https://eu.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/disconnects/345138. Definitely noticed this in 2021, may have been around longer.
And sometimes when falling anywhere - this has happened for years.
I tried disabling āOptimize Network for Speedā weeks ago, no noticeable effect.
I tried resetting UI today. Logged in without addons, flew up in a Legion zone in travel form and disconnected. Donāt know if these three disconnection triggers are related.
More info: I got instant disconnected, twice, when flying up (spacebar, travel form) while doing the early part of the Kyrian campaign. This is the only time flying outside of Legion zones Iāve noticed this.
And I was instant disconnected today, when charging in a Torghast instance, while I was movement impaired.
My theory: thereās code intended to prevent people from briefly disconnecting and moving their character and reconnecting, or some similar exploit. So whenever the server perceives that your character has moved in a way not allowed, you get instant kicked. For example, Druid travel form instant takeoff with spacebar in Legion zones. Initiating pet battles sometimes instantly moves your character. Falling (especially in the Pandarian racing instance with a lot of speed stacks), or moving too fast in Torghast when it doesnāt think youāre allowed to.
Legion initially wasnāt intended to have flying (nor would the early stages of the Kyrian campaign expect this). Iām guessing that the code for how druid travel form works in outdoor areas of all the other expansions is somehow different from Legion. Iāve noticed that sometimes thereās a brief stutter, almost as if itās a frame rate drop, less than half a second, when trying to spacebar up in druid travel form in other expansions, which keeps me grounded a moment. Perhaps this pause was a workaround added to fix this very issue, and didnāt make it into Legion.
Whatever the causes, these instant kicks are annoying when flying or pet battling in outdoor zones, but greatly annoying when youāre killed while trying to time a max Torghast instance. And if you havenāt fixed this before everyone is doing a lot of rapid movement with dragons in the coming expansion. . .
Instant kicked today while dragon riding. Was on the campaign quest, āWho Brought the Ruckus?ā. Was dragon riding to the objective, disconnected when I reached it.
The battle pet disconnects are currently happening on my Paladin.
Tried UI reset, etc etc. Still happening.
I know this is a pretty old post but apparently still an issue for some. Iām actually playing my druid when itās happening though
