I’m so tired describing the issue all over again is each of the several tickets and forum posts… but S1 starts tomorrow, and we’re still in the latency spike limbo:

The issue is clearly on Blizzard’s end (as seen above), this very problem has existed since February of this year (linking my thread from back then), and it makes playing anything even remotely competitive impossible: spikes happen every several minutes and if you get it during an m+ key, it’s basically gg after 30s of moonwalking.
If any raider from Echo / Method had this issue, it’d have been fixed already - they have a direct line of contact with Blizz, after all. But the technical support forum, oh boy, Blizz hasn’t even looked once at this issue reported by a huge number of people. Sod us to Hades, I guess. Bought the xpack, paid the sub, and can’t play since Blizz refuses to take action for half a year. S-tier company, would recommend.
Yeah, this is insane. I might have to use a damn VPN to circumvent the issue… Bought the xpack, bought the game time, and now I need to buy the vpn to play it smh
I have crazy lagspikes every day pretty much every hour it seems now. I have also some weird things happening. Before the spike there will apear a guild achievement. Guild has earned classic battles. see that msg all day on all my toons wich are in different guilds. then after that achievement all guild member will pop up online at once in yellow text ( even though they’re not coming online) resulting in insane lagspike screenfreeze. started few times a day now almost every hour. No clue I just returned. Think had 3 dc’s this week. Just weird stuff. Sucks cos so far I love how classes play and feel
Same problem here. I live & play from Hungary and have these DCs since last week (Saturday or Friday). I have tried everything - nothing helps. It continues randomly disconnect me from anywhere in any time of the day, but it seems, closer to prime-time 6-7 PM, I start getting DCs every minute. At Wednesday evening I literally was disconnected every minute in raid.
I’m experiencing the same here, I thought i had fixed it as i didn’t have issues since Friday, but tonight it’s back.
It happens randomly, I can still chat in game with a small delay, Discord and everything else works fine. I’m also running 3 pings to my nearest switch, my router and to a public DNS, during the events where in-game ping is spiking, none of my pings are dropping packets.
The issue is clearly either Blizzard servers, or during the routing through the network to them.
I usually I get around 180 ping, but since TWW launched my ping doubles after a few minutes in the game, and steadily increases until its 1000+. PLEASE do something about this Blizzard. This issue is making the game unplayable, when it was previously fine!!!
Same crap here… Blamed my ISP, got back CLEAN Reports from them. Started digging into it myself, and same conclusion as everyone else.
I was wondering if my MeshWIFI was messing with authentications to game servers when reconnecting through roaming, but that wasn’t it either.
I actually have to pay for exitlag on top of my wow sub. Which means I’m not going to buy anything extra from blizzard like RAF or other things as I am essentially paying for two WoW subs already.
It’s been like this for over a year for me. It’s sad, but they will do nothing.
