Humor / Meme What the hell just happened to EU servers?

Just had mass disconnect in my raid and guild - But only some people on specific servers. Other people were not affected at all, lol.

Gave us a nice timed break from prog.

Edit: Servers seem to be mostly up again.

u/DawningRedStar 14h ago

That happened Saturday evening on the NA servers - massive DC in two back-to-back waves. Group Finder wouldn't work afterwards either.

u/Althoffinho 14h ago

This happened yesterday as well, I was kicked out of a dungeon and only an hour after there was some stability.

u/Bedsheats 14h ago

Was on coiled alter boss, about to down it too :(

u/RoamySpec 14h ago

u/Skull-ogk 14h ago

Im facing a new raid boss. Retrieving my chatacter list

u/jaraxxus69 14h ago

Yeah, I was balls deep into the mega delve (8 our of 9 chambers cleared) and I got DC'd so now I'm stuck on the "retrieving character list" screen. Of course I didn't claim the delve reward because I was doing a full run. Thanks blizzard for wasting over an hour for nothing. What a sh*t show. I'm on Burning Legion EU.

You're not supposed to lose progress if you disconnect during Kindo.

u/Ordinary-Syllabub311 14h ago

That would be nice, but that just happened to me and I spawned in front of the labyrinth and lost all progress. :(

u/Mintenker 14h ago

Server is falling, make a wish

u/ammerhai 14h ago

After 4 retries restarting I could login again. But careful, it deleted all my warband groups in the login screen...

Edit: Typo

u/Whooooooooodis 14h ago

Closed the game, exited battlenet and it's let me back in now

3

u/Dragon_Sluts 14h ago

Yes this, either this happened to be when it worked for me, or this fixed it for me.

Fully close battlenet.

u/beardedgamerdad 14h ago

I'm guessing they're deploying a patch or hotfix of some sort that requires the servers to cycle. The labyrinth delve has been extremely buggy and if I'm allowed to wager, perhaps the servers going down is an attempt to fix those bugs.

u/Beorgir 14h ago

Yeah we have 7 offline, waiting for their character lists.

2

u/San4311 14h ago

Mid raid night, they're down. Can't get back in either.

Welp there goes my dungeon group's progression key; 3 out of 5 of us booted during a boss fight and can't get back in.

u/Moist_Profession4454 14h ago

u/SphericalShades 14h ago

Likewise stuck on 'retrieving character list' - thankfully was only doing housing stuff at the time, but still a pain. At least everything else in the patch has been buttery smooth...

u/Pathstrider 13h ago

Had to do a scan and repair as nothing i did would get passed the retrieving character list screen.

u/Independent_Mood_152 12h ago

I was at kindo'jan with no lives lost starting the encounter but when this issue occured & I got back in after that server issue I was dead . I had 12 lives ready to go but that dc ruined this attempt, no solo raider title earned tonight 🥲

Got fabled ranked 11299 before doing the deathless run so not all bad this evening 2 full labyrinth runs, but hoping no dc on tomorrows deathless run 🤞

u/TreatEven1837 14h ago

Every time I've seen a coordinated drop of certain accounts like this; there's been a ban wave shortly after.
Happened yesterday in NA around 5pm PDT.
