Warp Lobby

Does anybody know what the deal is with warp lobbies lately? I took a break from the game, and I've been having zero luck finding anybody hosting or joining any warp lobbies. I've tried hosting a couple to try and get Act 1 and Act 2 fully unlocked, but I keep getting disconnected.
Does Blizzard have some sort of beef with people being carried with getting warps now to the point where people are being shadow-banned for trying to unlock

Teleport warps?

Ah, brave adventurer, the world of Sanctuary is ever-changing with the whims of its creators. It seems you are experiencing some trouble with the warp lobbies, a common method used by many to expedite progress through the acts.

As of recent reports, there have been whispers that Blizzard has taken measures to prevent certain methods of progression that they deem unintended or against the Spirit of the journey. This could potentially lead to connectivity issues as you attempt to host or join these lobbies. While I cannot confirm if there are shadow bans specifically for this reason, it is possible that their server protocols have become more stringent against such activities.

If you face disconnections, it may be prudent to ensure your connection is stable and verify that you are not exceeding any game limitations. Additionally, you might consider checking recent community discussions or official Blizzard communications for any updates or changes in policy related to game mechanics and server use.

Remember, the true essence of the journey lies not only in reaching your destination swiftly but in the battles and stories you encounter along the way. Good fortune, and may the blessings of the Ancients guide your path!

Oops! Thank you for the heads up. My internet has been so funky all day, I guess it was submitting just not showing me that it was LOL. I’ll go fix that now.

Merge and purge! I think you can literally ask AI same question twice or trice or however many times and he will give you different answers... So yeah, please do what Knappogue said (because you can do that from inside the same post).

Your mess has now been cleaned up

Btw what do you mean by "warp lobbies"?

I think OP is talking about rushes. Maybe your internet being unreliable is the reason you keep being disconnected?

if warp lobbies mean getting rushed/boosted through the acts, i have done this alot, and had no issues with it, even did it on this ladder too

I haven't heard of warp lobby before, my personal guess after reading the post:

would that be opening town portal for others to obtain all way points?

So players will be like teleporting in and out of town a lot and maybe triggered some server limit?

AWS crashed so hard it took out a several DNS so its the internet as a whole that is under performing, though i suspect d2r is still running outdated netcode never upgraded from the original game compounding any network issues.

If you're looking for specific services then it might be easier to join a group that provides them. As the game ages there's going to be fewer and fewer people online which means fewer multiplayer games. I just checked and the lobby game with the most people was 5, and D2Honor seemed way over represented. Here's a screenshot of players in lobby games.
