Massive Connection Issues Playing W/ OCE Players

This is not about “OCE ping”. I am very used to that as well as its ups and downs.

I have several OCE friends I play with very regularly with zero issues outside of the normal increase to latency, but the last ~24hours or so the game has been unplayable in Mythic+ especially when OCE is hosting the group. It is not 100% constant but it is quite often. The worst from last night was when we attempted to do Underrot on OCE - two OCE players (both Barthilas if it matters) and 3 US players. All three of us from the US were lagging out constantly while the OCE players were totally fine. Before we decided to give up on the key the longest I went without lagging out was probably ~80 seconds.

It was better once we reformed the group on NA, but for instance this morning after waking up… we had another 3 US/2 OCE group (both Frostmourne this time) and we had the same issue in reverse. One of the OCE players would not lag out completely but had constant 1200+ latency while the other OCE player disconnected repeatedly over the course of about 45 minutes. I don’t know the specifics of WoW’s instance servers but the worst this morning was also in Underrot.

*PM Update *
Had this as a draft that I did not submit, but issue still occurring. Attempted to assist OCE players with a Neltharion’s Lair a short while ago but while inside the dungeon applying my buffs I again lagged out but luckily before the key was started this time. Group was formed on Barthilas.

All of this, since yesterday. No issues on my end. Tried all recommended fixes since yesterday and it continues to happen.

Not just playing with, but also as an OCE player. Had input lag and freezes while with a Barthilas-led pug even when from Barthilas yourself (VP 8), while another run with an NA lead ran smooth (Neltharus 8).

Same here as a US player on Frostmourne. I was reduced to pet battles and then gave up because every 3rd one gets interrupted and dc, and I am not made of bandages.

Turalyon server here. Barthilas specifically seems to tank my connection. I’m not entirely sure why. I leave the instance or group and join another and I’m totally fine.

I’ve been playing OCE again the past few days and the situation is so much worse than on EU.
With EU I at least get a very stable 230-270 when I use a VPN and have no problems.
On OCE I get anywhere from 70-400, with or without VPN, and it’s an absolute mess.
Takes 20 seconds just to loot a mob in an instance and the boss sometimes shows “no loot” at first.
