Personally getting tired of having restart the program because of waiting on the server.

Yeah, this is so frustrating, for the past week, I have seen more waiting for the server messages than ever. It is interfering with game play and enjoyment. With all the money they make, you would figure they could afford adequate servers. Seems like every week is a new issue with arena and no feedback from here. NEVER have I received an email back from what is posted on here. This messaging service here, posting information is a waste of time. Wizards scores an F with me on Customer Service.

I experience constant lags, during the game and while loading it, often with "Waiting for server" message showing. This started to happen some time ago. I tried a lot of the fixes you suggest on your page and nothing helped so far. Can you fix this?

After each match, win or lose, I spend more time staring at the "Waiting for Servers..." screen than I did actually playing cards.
To reproduce this, play a match and then once it ends, see how LOOOONG the wait is.

Got the same problem. I really wanted that 50% off deal on Tymaret art style and now I am "waiting for the server'ed" out of it :( Is it server overload or something on my end ?

The support, after many mail, gave me that splendid advice (cynism) : we don't why but feel free to tell us if you ever find a solution.
Fantastic !!There is indeed a kind of solution uninstall/reinstall. I have to do that every 3 days.
Shame on you Wotc !

it has been impossible for me to play in the last days 'cause I open arena, it loads assets, etc. and then gets stuck in the "waiting for the server" message. the very few times it gets past it and I can play one game, the game ends and there we go "waiting for the server"
it's a problem that begun after the bans

Aaaand... nevermind. After I miraculously got two games in, the server cannot be found.

I've had the same problem for roughly 4 days now and I haven't been able to play at all since thursday because game is stuck on the "waiting for server" screen (even if I leave it searching for hours). Anyone found a solution yet?
Update: And it's now working again... for no reason. -
