3rd toon in a row dead to dc due to bad servers. not motivated to play anymore if my character is just gonna be erased over blizzard’s negligence to maintain their servers.

I played for literally 10 hours today. I didn’t experience a single DC. Maybe you need to reduce the amount of addons you’re using or get a better ISP.

He’s not wrong about the DC’s I just had my lvl 32 character die from a DC while I was questing. And now all that time and effort is gone. I’d be less upset and mad if it was from my own mistake or or making a poor judgement call. But to lose a character I’ve been working tirelessly on to something that 100% not of my own doing and something out of my control is infuriating.

I’ve had three today, albeit I’m playing softcore. I went about three months without a D/C prior to the Anniversary Edition coming out. Now it’s several a day.
It is possibly addon related, right? New patch messes with addons. But it’s intellectually dishonest to try and claim that people aren’t having sudden and significant D/C problems, or that their ISPs suddenly became garbage, coincidentally, last Thursday at 5:00pm EST.
Blizzard bootlickers are the worst.
P.S. to the OP, try setting it to DirectX 11

Pretty much this.
I have been playing on retail ('05), classic (`19), and hardcore ('23) servers for a decent of time. Specifically the classic and HC servers N E V E R had the amount of disconnect issues that have been occurring since SPECIFICALLY the launch of the anniversary realms. The commonality isn’t addons, its the launch of the anniversary servers and whatever instability they created. Sure there are INDIVIDUALS who are likely experiencing addon related DCs as they still a thing, however I agree it is absolutely fraudulant to suggest that suddenly 10’s or 100’s of thousands of people getting chain DC’d is related to addons… especially if nearly half of them likely don’t even use the same addons (and in numerous cases no addons at all… Yeah, plenty of them exist).

Don’t play on the FOTM server?

Unfortunately this hits all servers. HC servers more than the other ones, Era and Anniversary alike … sad, but true.
Try dx11 in settings

Stop playing on dialup
Log out to the character select, and go afk. The hardcore servers specifically boot you within a few minutes, while you can afk the character select on whitemane for 20+mins, and not get disconnected. The hc servers either have a code to try and dc you, or there’s a bug in the code somewhere.
I’ve lost a couple characters, due to dc. And at the time I was still able to chat, the Blizzard launcher was running, youtube was still functioning. And, after I saw I was dead, a speed test showed a solid low ping, high download speed. There is 100% something wrong with the servers. Even if it doesn’t happen a lot. Once is a lot, for who it happens to
Yes. These are on stable servers now. Unlike the original HC. On these HC you d/c just as much as you do on the regular ones.
Ahh, is this HC specific. I always wondered why I was kicked that fast there only, I thought it was because I was on Hydraxian Waterlords (the most low pop Era RP-PvE server in EU) when not playing HC; and HC had more players in line so to speak. But if you see the same on Whitemane, I do not think it’s the explanation any more, and it must be something HC specific.
Would you make an in-game bug reprot or write in the Support section as well? Nothing really comes from writing here.
EDIT: Fun fact. If you launch game and go to Character select screen, you can stay there like forever. This bug or whatever it is seems to activate only once you log in.
Nope. Same server cluster as regular servers now. Much more stable now. Your chance of a DC in HC now is almost next to 0 if your connection is good. I have D/Ced zero times on these new realms.
Old HC realms had a big problem with DCs. These new ones do not. I DCed back to back to back in original HC and so did so many other people. Sometimes entire guilds would DC all at once but the server would stay online or raid groups would DC when no one else would. That is no longer an issue. We no longer have unstable servers. Your chance of DC now is as great as it is anywhere else in game now.
Do you here speak only of the Anniversary servers or are the old HC servers included as well. If it’s only the Anniversary servers, I fid your statement a bit sweeping.
