Server issues and lags is a risk for dying

2 days ago I experienced longer lags on the Helltide. I think it must be a server issue since the lags were there also for a friend. I can understand that server sided lags or client sided lags can not be avoided all the time. But often you don’t realize if there is a danger for lagging. It would be already nice help if there would be an indicator or symbol if the ping is too high so that I can avoid going into dangerous situations and risking my character to die.

I would say that lag issues or such things are mainly related to users’ stuff (pc, internet connection, etc.). The bigger issue is server overload drops (code 395002) during farming mobs or doing missions…

Well, I have an awesome PC and I only lag on helltide, it’s like being in Dalaran in Wow when there is too many people, it’s the servers 100%

why is Blizzard constantly saying that mostly it is player sided thing. Hell… so many players experience lag and rubber banding and often only in this game. Blizzard is known to have bad/lacking servers that aren’t up to the task of hosting so many players. It is commonly talked thing and still, Blizzard just denies it and doesn’t do anything about it

its total bs hardcore DC deaths, the game experience is ruined by poor servers, a system that does not work when you DC " talking about escape scrolls "

To be honest, the main reason I avoid playing the Hardcore mode is because of lag, freezes and random disconnects. It totally nullifies your entire progress.

Yeah I started a hardcore character yesterday after playing regular seasonal since the launch. The lag spikes and stuttering are a complete nightmare on both types of realms and will definately kill you on hardcore. I’m in the EU, I don’t know if it’s the same issue on NA servers.

I had to switch to normal, because the game keeps crashing every 1-2 hours.
