Thread: [Unplayable] Severely poor connection since 4.0 (server relocation)

Never had one problem tell they brought out 4.0. Then hear ones getting none stop 90002 errors after it came out. This tells me server company they went with can't handle 4.0. So think they need to move there servers to a better place that can handle the load and not cause ones to disconnect all the time. Never once got 90002 error in old location never got 90002 error in new location till 4.0 came out. Been using same internet for almost 2 years now.

The only time things ever got so bad that I could barely play was during SB early access, and now during the past few days. However the recent issues are because of problems with the ISPs (more than one) that are required to connect to the NA centres, it wouldn't make any difference where they are located.

Players really need to quit jumping at SE for every single issue as the respect works both ways. I've never know a company like SE apologize so much and so publicly for the problems that are endured, you'd never get this kind of relations with WoW.

May I ask what ISP you are using currently? I'm EU also and play on NA server since 2.0. Issues only started happening a couple months back for me and have persisted.

Also I might as well post this again as some sort of update of my terrible route to server. Also proof that east coast has some very bad routers with awful packet loss. And yeah, SEs lobby server has issues too.

Oh god I thought I was the only one experiencing this. Ever since the update after the Halloween event I started lagging and disconnecting so much. It happened to me a few times during dungeons or guildhests and I kept apologizing and feeling bad for screwing up the duty.

I took this screenshot of my iPad monitoring the server latency when a lag spike hit...



All four of us in the dungeon experienced the same spike at the same time.

I’m just glad more players are actually posting about this problem. Many aren’t aware that it is a chronic problem and also not exclusive to ddos attacks. Unfortunately, a large number of players have been reporting these issues for months. Now they either gave up and lurk these threads, or quit playing altogether. I refuse to do anymore trace route tests, reset my network and re enter all the port forwarding settings, I want to kill the next person who tells me to try google dns, my ISP knows me by first name basis and they recognize the very sound of my voice, they no longer address my problem, instead they say my issue is well documented and no longer warrants house visits by technicians, such is the extent of the connection issues I experience ONLY when playing this game.

Since 4.0, it's felt like server stability has taken a dive. I'm on the West coast and it's been decent, but not better.
Now during this week's ddosing, I was kicked several times every day since it started about four days ago. I wish there was something to stop those annoying ddosers, but I guess for now just have to play something else.

I'm having constant disconnects too since the server relocation. Sometimes I can't log back in for 1 or 2 hours (disconnection after the loading screen, error 90002).
Playing from Brazil.
