Actual worst discussion.
If I’m going to play with more ping than needed, play with a broken PvP community - I’m just going to unsub, find a private server and at least play with bad ping for free

Here’s the thing. Tomorrow this will be replaced by another outrage by the playerbase. Maybe that’s Blizzard’s strategy: just throw so many terrible decisions players can’t focus on any one and just get overwhelmed to the point where they just accept it all.

I think i speak for the majority when i say, that we would rather wait longer for a arena match where ping was low and even across both teams
At the very least this should have been an open discussion with Season 1 as a test. Let Season 1 play out, monitor ratings, MMR and player base. THEN make an informed decision about what is best for the region, taking into account what the PLAYERS WANT IN THE REGION.
A rushed and uninformed decision without any consideration for a paying player base.

OCE Private TBC server when?

If that is the case, can we expect 50% of the matches will be hosted from OCE Servers, it’s only fair after all.

The biggest slap in the face here is the compelete disregard for community by failing to communicate the change prior to implementation.

If OCE have such a small population that we need to be merged with the US player base, surely you can give OCE players server priority for any games with OCE players since there are so few of us lol.

bro what… how does that make sense by then handicapping us to 200-400 ms.

Unsubbed.

when oceanic servers were first brought in they did randomise whether you were on an oceanic or us instance and americans cried hard, so all arena games were played on american servers. they don’t care about australians at all, we need a mass ticketing and unsubbing, and still probably won’t get any results. i know this doesn’t affect PvE only players, but anyone who wants to play competitively from australia is completely shafted. i love how Kaivax doesn’t even mention the increased lag in his post. what a douche

Except they DID have their own ARENA servers until the other day…
Search these forums for this exact phrase: “Layer Arugal”.
Scroll down for a minute or so.
We OCE, especially Arugal, are LOUD.

Removes batching because ping is no longer an issue unlike 20 years ago
Makes it so an entire region is forced to play on 200+ ms
huuuuuuuur authentic experience

this NEEDS to be reverted ASAP for there to be any hope of a competitive and lively OCE pvp scene…

What a disgusting post lmao
Ok bring back batching then. I’m sure that will be great for the game.
Don’t forget that they have removed batching which was supposed to assuage the penalties of bad latency. So now we are even worse off than we were back in TBC with bad latency.

I feel like this will be the final straw for a lot of OCE players unfortunately, sad times
