Blizzard never fails to disappoint the community it seems!
I feel like Oceanic players are just second grade citizen to them. No blue respond yet…
So disappointed, how can we be expected to pay a subscription for a sub par service, this is something i would expect from a company like Funcom, you really dropped the ball here blizzard you bunch of flops, Cancelled my sub, adiós pendejos

Be real blizz, you ran into a problem and were to lazy to put the effort in to implementing the best fix. Instead you go with the easy fix, basically destroying competitive pvp entirely. What is the point of have having quicker queues when you are a high rank trying to push and then you get absolutely screwed by a bad ping match. There goes all your hard work for the day, and it is completely out of your control.

Yup, you can forget about playing melee because the target is not where it appears.

if you have cripple poison up its not too bad
thanks for making a meaningful choose that completely ruined Oceanic realms for pvp.
now we have zero chance to get titles with this amount of lag on bg and arena.
bring back batching to bgs if your keeping this change 200+ms on a sever with 10ms response times is not acceptable anymore id of rolled on a us realm if i wanted short q times your helping no one with this. but usa player with free wins
give oce players a way to opted out of the us pool.

Some solutions I could think of:
-
Add a check box in the Menu > Gameplay > Internet Connectivity that allows you to toggle the option of connecting to a connected battlegroup (at the cost of higher ping).
-
10+ minute queues have a pop up that asks if you want to connect to U.S battlegroup to hasten the search time (Similar to Chromie Time in Retail when looking to search for dungeon, but nobody is within your timeline)
-
Free Transfers for H > A. This is tricky, however, as servers that are PvP mean that it will be an all or nothing faction transfer.
-
Show H / A populations to make informed decisions prior to making your character on a new server. Also displaying average % ratio’s for each faction population refreshed every 4 hours.

I just unsubbed due to this. Give Oceanic our own battlegroup and servers and I’ll resub. Not playing with 300ms latency.
I’m unsubbing because of this change. I will resub when you give us our own Battlegroup.

Still cannot believe this change is happening.
OCE need own battlegroup

That would need to work both ways, melee on either side of this deal do not want to deal with lag or laggy players.
Sapped an OCE healer (Shaman) and he did the electric slide half way across WSG before coming to a stop; worse the CC started on my timer and ended on my timer allowing him insane leeway on movement before coming to a rest.
There is ZERO good in this setup and legit the only people I see who don’t see to mind it are DoT casters and pet specs…
I was so excited for TBC now I don’t even want to play

What I mean is, it connects you to the U.S battlegroup if checked. If unchecked, you remain within your own server.
You’re using logic. That has no place here!
Correct and this would need to work both ways.
Tix the box for “Don’t want to play with any one from outside my battlegroup”

This has to be the biggest kick in the teeth. After essentially stealing my money to boost for arena only to pull this with no prior notice. I got 1800+ back in the day with non meta comp so yeah blah blah it possible. Doesn’t mean I’m doing it again loosing to players that are way worse then me over and over is not fun. I’m unsubscribeing. I’ll be back if this is fixed.

I’m a pet spec Dot caster, my sub has been cancelled.
Hard to believe blizz thinks ‘give a heap of people dial-up ping in pvp for no reason’ won’t cost them subs.
They will permanently loose like 10-25% of all OCE players over this (and piss off another 50%)
