It happens sometimes. Not as bad as you described though.

This lag is driving me nuts. I tried so hard to just suffer through it, but it feels like in my last few games this lag only happens during a key engagement. Maybe I should switch to toss so it wouldn't matter as much trollface.

More seriously though, I want to play the game so incredibly much, however if every game is decided by lagging while I'm trying to snipe siege tanks with bio as they siege, I don't think I can. At least without giving myself an aneurism.

I have problems with being dropped every single game :/ I cant stop that, and I never got that bugs in WoL. Thats why I didnt played much beta, I dont know if thats some bug of instalation or something else.I hope main version of hots will fix that.

I have the same issue since the patch with new skins and so on. But imo it's not about patch, it's about blizzard letting everyone in the beta without adjusting their server capacity. And it's not a global play issue because I had no problem playing brazilian or taiwaneses people in some hour where there is no activity (in weekday middle hour). But when it's rush hour then impossible to play and I switch to another game.

If they want to test the beta properly they should increase server capacity at least. It's becoming more and more unplayable.

I've never seen bad lag like this, the game occasionally freezes for me outside of games but never in them. If your lag is that bad it must be a problem on your end disagreeing with the new patch as when I connect to korean WoL servers it is still playable, nothing like you have described.

For people arguing that is a problem of 'our' connexion, I can add that the game WOL is working just fine with no delay/high ping at all.

yea, it feels like they gave away too many beta keys and the server cant handle it. for me the network spikes started after the patch with the replay features. i only have heavy stuttering in the evening and before that it is fine, but since most tournaments start in the evening it is really bad for european players that have these kind of lag issues. i honestly hope blizzard is aware of it and tries to fix it asap, but the way i know blizzard, i wouldnt be suprised if they ignore it and keep it the way it is until the beta ends.

If you read, I said it could be something that was part of the most recent patch which your network/computer disagrees with, it's definitely not the HoTS server because there are plenty of people without lag.
