Weird Connection Problems

[Aww-argent-dawn]

I have been dealing with these weird latency issues lately. It happens randomly, either after teleporting to a new instance, dungeon, or similar or when teleporting to a new environment like a city or a zone. The chat continues, I can chat with people whether in my realm or through Battle.net but the game is almost as if it’s completely disconnected.

This is extremely frustrating because it doesn’t let me play the game and even at times, gives me a deserter when I’m in PvP as it counts me afk and/or purposely leaving.

I’ve tried multiple things from adjusting and changing firewall options on my modem to my computer, trying different DNS, flushing DNS, and messing around with port forwarding. Nothing changed or fixed this issue. There are a couple of information I can share with you whether it’s accurate or not;

• When it happens, Windows Resource Monitor shows WoW.exe exchanging with little to no internet. At least below what It should be showing.
• Hovering over the Game Menu, the latency is 58ms(home) however, +4500ms(world).
• Here is a similar but not the same post about this issue I found; https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/1cf0z50/latency_issues_high_world_ms_since_16042024_uk/ (Though, I contacted my ISP, they recommended me to try different DNS and that everything was good in their end.)
• Another post my friends linked me; https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/s/N6HRAdnmRn

I have contacted Blizzard already, they are copying & pasting me their common troubleshooting like reinstalling the game or adjusting the firewall. (I have already reinstalled it multiple times, but the lag keeps occurring.)

Here is a video of how it is; https://youtu.be/ZFn2Do0Ch88

Edit: I didn’t have this lag five months ago, during Dragonflight expension.

Ive been having this issue since late february on 3 different isps in 2 different countries.

One or two shards are hosted on a server node that just has routing issues and it chokes on itself consistently. Thankfully i just play pvp so everytime i start getting this i just swap the server from tarren mill to kazzak and go play an alt or smth but its been happening for almost half a year at this point.

It gets really frustrating when it starts happening mid-arena.

Same things have been happening to me for a few months. And it’s obviously on Blizzard’s end as seen on the screencap below (from 5 min ago, another key destroyed by their indifference regarding their playbase issues for half a year).

They take zero action on it, and pretend the problem doesn’t exist. Truly, an amazing company devoted to helping their players. Small indie company doesn’t sound quite righthere, as they’d fix it within a week… smh.

It is funny that they are not doing anything about it.

Funny? I think u should call it as ‘‘expected’’ more likely nowadays… Raiding is mostly not possible as a tank here.

-200 ratings in rbg because the game thought I abandoned the match, this is such a ####. They gotta fix these server issues.
