Plunderstorm = DOA for oceanic players

Community General Discussion

Every match is on US servers which means 200ms + for anyone oceanic. Makes it not fun playing with such a massive disadvantage.

See previous post.

No OCE servers for Plunderstorm makes it unplayable - Community / General Discussion - World of Warcraft Forums (blizzard.com)

Any oceanic player should be used to that amount of lag.
Unless you never ever pug, that amount of lag is standard

They raised the sub too.

Could at least tell us they don’t want OCE to play.

What actually happened: Your currency has lost value over time and they finally updated the price accordingly.

I’m in OCE and sure while it’s a little irritating for none of my hits to land sometimes I haven’t had too much issue. I’ve never won a game but I typically get to top 10 with 2-4 kills under my belt

Yeah they’re not gana see it that way.

I feel like this issue has a really simple resolution, make the prices USD so when you purchase it via another currency it changes accordingly (I don’t understand it very well but i know I prefer it that way since I know if the value of our coin goes up it’ll get cheaper again and it isn’t a sudden 20% increase). I lot of games do that and I don’t understand why wow doesnt?

Why yes, we are amazing. Thank you.

Why wasn’t the price reduced when the AUD was stronger?

What actually happened: An ignorant American player doesn’t understand that raising your cost to play by 20% in your currency means you are still paying 20% more regardless of what the freedom dollar is at.

Also, doesn’t understand that the prices weren’t lowered when the dollar was stronger than the USD.

I blame the US education system personally.

I always pug but never into US groups.

Not paying monthly to have a crappy experience. Lag free is best.

Pure greed.

Plunderpain converts wow into an action game where you have to aim your abilities and that ‘standard’ about of lag matters.

16

It’s such a shame as I would have loved to compete properly.

I manage to play it just fine as an Australian player, and I play on US servers all the time.

I think you’re exaggerating the issue by claiming it’s DoA. Even if you can’t engage in PvP because of lag (which I can; I have killed players plenty of times), you can simply farm plunder by running around the map and get the rewards that way instead.
