Nobody’s complained in a few days now…is it fixed? I mean, I doubt it but hey, you never know!
Update. I have not had any issues like those I reported earlier in this thread since 1/28/2019. Knock on wood. Note, my PC’s configuration has not changed.
That was something I suspected.
Multi Core or multi threaded programs run different task asynchronously. So if network IO, keyboard and mouse IO, and/or interface drawing were in separate threads, its possible one thing could get out of sync and would explain the sluggish combat response.
But it most likely wouldn’t explain the extreme loot lag.
Theory I currently have is 8.1 introduced stealth server mergers.
Just so Blizzard knows…It’s still ongoing. Consistent since 8.1 dropped.
Getting MIGHTY OLD.
Character: All
Server: Any i try
Zone: Bloody well all of them
Time: 24/7
Issue: Fluctuating World/Realm/Ability lag
Character: All of them
Server: Farstriders
Zone: All of them
Time: Every time i log on
Issue: Lag everywhere, FPS drops, nothing has fixed it so far
Annoyance Level: Climbing rapidly
- Character Experiencing Issue: All characters
- Realm Character is on: Barthilas/Nagrand
- Zone (Zulzadar/Boralus/Arathi/etc): Any BFA zone, in Battle of Daz as well.
- Server Time When Issue Occurs: Has been happening consistently.
This has only been happening for the last two days, since reset. Nothing has changed on my end. My three other housemates are having no issues. We’ve reset the router, that didn’t fix it. I’ve done /flushdns and IP resets and that hasn’t fixed it. Currently trying to raid in BoD and it’s not fun. My latency for both home and world is between 30-70 however it feels much worse and spikes.
I think I’ve figured out their gameplan; they ignore all the complaints until everyone who is annoyed by the problem unsubs and they’re left with people who will play through the pain. Then they justify further layoffs because of the decreased playership and save even more money and never have to fix the lag issue! It’s brilliant!

I’m still having this problem where pressing a skill nothing happens for 2-5 sec delay. I’ve also notice people running in place during these too. The problem is much worse in BFA content especially raids and dungeons.
I have worked with my cable provider to check my connection, as well check my house wiring and increased upload and download speeds. This is the only game I am having any issue with.
I have done all the solutions I can find, reinstalled game even on to another HHD all together. I’ve played the game with no addons. It always comes back and is totally random.
At this point if I can’t find a fix or it doesn’t stops I’m going to unsub out of not being able to play. Even though I want to keep playing.
Just closed my ticket with the GM/Techs. Super helpful people, sadly none of the options they gave me helped me in my situation! They just told me to keep an eye on this thread and see if the developers fix it. I’ll post my WINMTR so they will have more information to work on and maybe someone can look at my own WINMTR and give me a personal fix if it is not the same bug I think it is.

I’m getting the same strange lag. Latency is usual 30ms, 97 fps, but I’m stuttering while I walk or do anything really. Then out of nowhere everyone is running in place except me. Very long lag to log out and back in and it’s fine for awhile. I ran Win MTR for a few mins:

I’m on Verizon, NYC, Thrall server.
Still happening. 44ms latency but instant casts can take 5 seconds. World PVP impossible at times.

I couldn’t even loot yesterday, something is terribly wrong with the BFA servers, Legion was so much better.
I began having this issue yesterday (2/14) in the evening; no issues in the morning. It is continuing this morning (2/15). The lag spikes last as long as 15sec. Occurs during normal activity, questing in Westfall open world and combat, looting, etc. No other games or software appears effected.
Server: Thunderlord
Latency: stays around 30MS Home/World
WiFi connection
AddOns: NPC_Scan, MapCoords
Still nothing eh?
Dunno seems to of improved for me at least. It was real bad for me for many months but seems to be getting better.
Same problem. I had Verizon Fios in NYC for a few years and never once had a latency issue. I moved further upstate and switched to Spectrum as it was the only provider available here and am having identical issues. After not being able to cast certain skills for 10-20 seconds… I get disconnected… I reconnect back and then disconnected again… Discord and Twitch works fine but WOW drops me. This happens a few times a day, usually in the peak hours… MY Report is giving a traceroute of 1k-4k ms pings on some HOPS… Here’s the details…
2 Pics of running MTR program for 10 mins and 25 mins to us.battle.nt (I play on Stormrage with 40 ms ping)

Bump. I would add information about servers, times and characters but I don’t have a subscription at this point so I’m not playing and therefore can’t supply it but I want to come back. I like WoW, I want to play but I’m not paying for a broken game world. I mean, come on, are you guys going to make me beg?
Hi Judex
You would want to start your own troubleshooting thread. Paste a WinMTR test. Spectrum/Blizzard connections were showing up on here last week. Those seem to be resolved.
The instructions are on this Blizzard Support page:
Once you have the tool open enter the IP number for the server group you play on in the WinMTR box then hit start.
24.105.62.129
(include periods)
Leave it run for 5 minutes or so. Doesn’t matter if you are playing or not. Then use the button that copies Text to your clipboard. Paste that on your thread here
*Please don’t code block the WinMTR report - makes things hard to read.
Why would I want to start my own, new thread?? We’ve been told by Blues that this is the official place to post for this problem, creating a new thread would just get it locked and someone telling me to post here. I’m talking about the same ability lag issue that I and others have been dealing with for months now, this isn’t an ISP or region specific issue that has just cropped up, this is the sharding issue.
