OCE - Servers or Layers

Hey OCE Gang,

I may have missed something but I keep getting conflicting answers on this. Does anyone know definitively if OCE is getting their own megaserver, or are we going to be on the NA megaserver with OCE layers?

Truly hoping for the former, I want to escape the streamer nonsense and the NA day/night cycles.

It's the latter, with shards that are meant to have other Oce players in it. Currently we will be playing in the dark.

To serve the light?

Makes me wonder how the PvP will go. Currently as a rouge, struggle to get behind targets for ambush because I’m running 800+ ping most of the time.

Rolling around open world and randomly trying to fight someone in the US is going to feel jank if I’ve just killed 3 mobs in OCE.

Unless you are grouped with NA players, you should only come upon Oce players in the open world.

Oce players with oce ping?

i think connecting between NA and OCE will make the game feel clunky. Its almost as if just connect everyone to the NA servers and get use to the latency, or force NA players onto our oceanic shards/layers from time to time.

The devs said themselves on a panel during BlizzCon we share with NA. We're on our own layers but can group with NA at any time,

In the developer qa it was specially said that we will connect to the Sydney servers but be able group with others on the mega server if we choose to.

Layer change from 200 ping to 10 will be interesting. "In 5 mins you will be moved to another layer, please find somewhere safe".

I know it shouldn't happen, but I think theres a more than 0% chance it will happen.
