Translation: “We will performing maintenance on Monday, June 26th between 18:00 (CEST) and 22:00 (CEST). Restrictions and disconnections may occour during this period. However, it should be possible to log in again.” Same for tuesday…

Blizzard alone has employees around the globe and can’t manage to perform maintenance at night for specific regions?

    As far as I know the whole system is pretty tied together. You hop servers while traveling to other areas in-game. At peak times Europe players getting transferred to overseas server like Korea or us. Had tracked it down to Belgium while being in kyova, when I walked out I got transferred to us Washington, next region, Alabama or something like this, teleported to another city > South Korea… The whole update schedule from blizzard is pretty annoying for Europe but it is how it is^^

      Interesting! How are you tracking this btw? I have a friend who’s getting crazy rubber banding lag spikes even though he’s on a gigabit connection over Ethernet and I am wondering if it would be an interesting exercise to see where those connections are going to.

        It’s called ressource-monitor, accessable via the taskmanager at the performance tap. Assuming diablo using the most bandwidth for syncing with the server, you can sort by traffic, copy the IP and use an IP location finder (search for it on Google).
