ETA on fix for server lag?

Support Technical Support

It's been laggy every day since launch. Got perfect ping, but still a few tenths of a second extra for any action...

Any ETA on a fix? Are you working on it, or just waiting for enough people to stop playing so the problem fixes itself?

Hey Kyriel,

thanks for the heads-up on this one, I checked on Kilrogg for you and nothing out of the ordinary as far as I can see. Medium pop realm, so should be ok.

Also haven't seen any tickets on this from you yet that indicates we had a deep-dive so could you drop the following via Pastebin for me so I can check:

*Obtaining System Files
*Running WinMTR

Once we have these we can try and help you better, thanks in advance!

It's like this for me too, I have 10-19MS ping, home and world, 99% of the time but I'm still get annoying lag in the new zones. Looting hangs for about a second sometimes, skills don't go off when they should, etc. It's not huge lag, but it's constant and frustrating to play with.

It's very noticable when fishing, usually with auto loot on as soon as you click the bobber you get the fish, but now it's like click... loot pops up... auto loot happens.

Everything is unplayable since BFA prepatch. Blizzard really needs to beg activision for more funding.

All of Zuldazar on Khadgar is currently anywhere from 1-5 seconds of lag depending on if you're fighting, running or looting with a ping of 45home/47world.

In outland I get 1000ms in world and at home it stays at 29... I have no idea what is happening is it just only me?

Argent dawn EU has same problem. second time in 20 mins that my entire dungeon group is frozen in place. We can type and speak in chat but cannot move. This game is so bloody broken since bfa... rlly.. fire ur dev staff man.

We just had a rollback. We were at last boss, and now back at the beginning of the dungeon, all reset. Unreal this is.

On Aggramar. Today I've been getting anywhere from 1 second up to 10 seconds of delay with a consistent 30-50ms home/world. It's occured several times and usually lasts for a period of a few minutes before returning to normal.

I was just flying to Stormheim from Dalaran, once I got half way through Stormheim I got ported back to suramar and the message "Transfer Aborted: instance not found" all while having 40ms home/world.

Edit: As I post this I'm currently stuck in a very long server lag. Can't cast any spells but chat is working normally without lag. Now ongoing for 30 seconds.

For the last 10 mins I can't use my hearthstone. It just goes to a loading screen and times out.

I'm also having the same problem, when I'm looting or doing any action it takes 10 seconds to actually do it. I actually have time to press maybe 10x on the loot before it takes it.

I currently have 36 ms (home) and 33 ms (world). There is nothing downloading in the background either. Checked my internet speed and everything seems fine so can you please fix this problem.

More reports of guildies dcing in their dungeons. same rollbacks etc.

I don't think it affects everybody, apart from the AH lag which is painful on any larger server. I've been playing a lot on Defias Brotherhood and Outland since launch, and apart from a handful of 10 sec lagspikes the first week, I've not experienced any significant delays, nor have my friends or guild members. I've seen occasional lag complaints in trade/groupchat, but not very frequently. The only thing everybody complains about all the time is the slow Auction House.

Which is by no means saying that people are not seriously affected as this thread illustrates, but their issue might be caused by something more specific than just a general "lack of server capacity"?

Blizzard, I like you and all but...

You can't say on one hand "We're totally looking at EU forums" and on the other hand "But, you didn't start a ticket on this issue so we didn't know about it" when they are literally dozens of threads about lag in this forum.

It's even worse now. Looting corpses, doing wq, everything is sooo slow... MS says 33 / 36, but it feels like I'm about to disconnect everytime I loot, cast a spell or anything... This is a real issue..
21
Same on aszune, ping is just fine, mounting jumping around is just fine, looting mobs, instant to 1 sec or so dly, same with quests, ability firing. same thing last week around this time coming up on weekly downtime. Really annoying....

Server lag on Sunstrider.

From 0.5 seconds to 5 seconds ability delay.

Home ping: 39
World ping: 32
Around 100 fps

Internet speed:
    250 MB down
    10 MB up


Troubleshooting done:
    Ports open for wow.
    Restarted the pc.
    All drivers are up to date.
    Using weird connection
    Done a u-trace to a EA server no issue, cant find an wow EU server ping to test with.

The looting lag has been around since launch of the expansion. Doing herbalism, castbar gets to the end, delay, loot pops up. Ms is rarely over 35.

Doesn't seem like Blizzard takes this seriously. Another day and it seems to be even worse. Open World content is so laggy it takes forever just to get the wq done.. Can we get an answer Blizzard?
