people discovered that if you switch your own vpn to a US server your download speed would perform better.
US forum / game has the options to report bugs and multiple other options WHY EU DOES NOT.
WORLD MS IN EU IS SKYROCKETING ( past couple weeks) as if the server is in the moon, i didn’t even have this much lagg when i was at NA server what the hell is going on.
THIS WAS NOTICED BY MULTIPLE PLAYERS IN EU THAT HAS NO LAGG OR LOW INTERNET PROBLEMS ! yet here we are.
Do people actually lag on EU? Outside of first week of new expansions, and world bosses on reset day. Can’t remember ever lagging on forums or ingame not to the above.
Just checked it, 15/4 ms here…
Yep, truely “skyrocketing latency” there.
Also, why on earth are you using a VPN to browse these forums? That makes no sense at all. It is not as if you need to be private seeing as do need to login and all…
And better(or worse) latency due to switching to a US server on a VPN is not Blizzards fault, its how networks work…
Basically, if your ISP has a badly optimised infrastructure wich adds lots of hops and so is slow to connect to US servers a VPN can make that better by tunneling directly to the US, skipping hops you otherwise do get with your ISP.
My latency has been 15 World / 15 Home since day one of the expansion.
There is the occasional spike doing World Bosses, but other than that it’s been constant.
No, OPs experiences of that dosen’t translate to every other server. It’s also ironic they tell that when they LITERALLY ARE PLAYING ON A MASSIVE POP SERVER. WHICH IS BOUND TO HAVE LAG FREQUENTLY DUE TO THIS!
However I find that if I continue the ticket and explain that there is nowhere on the forums to report it and the link provided is to the US site, please help - sometimes a human does actually intervene. Despite saying they don’t offer help with quests, they have twice solved quest issues on the second asking.
Hopefully you can get the same if you keep chasing a ticket about network issues?
It might not be Blizzard’s fault, but they could do with admitting there’s a problem and talking about it. I’ve been getting intermittent latency spikes as high as 1000ms and lasting several minutes. Not good when we’re progressing a raid boss! And nothing else on my line shows any lag at all.
