Why, whenever I start a group where I am the leader (oceanic) and there are 3 of my guildies in the group (also oceanic), does the instance server switch to the USA if a single USA player joins my group? And why does it nearly always switch to east coast for extra latency.
It seems as if the game is prioritising one players experience over us other 4 players.
Cause Merica is Boss…
Never once experienced that. If I make a group, even if I’m the only aussie, it’s always oceanic server for me
Did the US player zone in first?
For walk-in instances, the location of the instance is decided by the leader’s realm. If you’re queuing with three other Oceanic people in the random dungeon finder and not ticking that you’ll lead the group, you might just queue in to a fifth (US) player that is willing to lead the group, so they get leader and then the instance is located in the US. =)
