This has been an issue since BFA released over 4 months ago. I seriously doubt they’re trying to fix it and I have yet to see them even acknowledge its a problem.
I merged the lag since 8.1 topics into this one since most of the players in those threads were reporting the same issue as this thread is. We’re looking in to this. I may do this with other threads going forward to keep everything in one place. If you were in that thread and aren’t having the same problem reported in the original post you may be experiencing something else. For instance, if you see high latency numbers or low FPS that may actually be worth troubleshooting. In that case you should create your own thread.
Just posting to say the issues are still going on

Same issue as usual. Latency is under 30ms and getting the .5-2sec ability and loot delay.

For those experiencing the above issue, is warmode toggled on by chance?Disabling warmode seems to have resolved it (for me at least). It’s playable until a proper fix can be implemented.
For me, at least, this issue occurs with both WM on and off.
Definitely not warmode specific. I never have it on, and friends and myself have had this open world lag since BFA launch.

I’m following up. Not sure what is going on, but I feel like they did something to fix it because I have been running amazing all of the sudden for the past few days

I’ve been experiencing this same issue on and off over the past few days. For me, It’s been most predominant while leaving my Monk. I’ve had issues in nearly every zone from Wrath --> Legion thus far. MS has been steady with both World and Home under 75 constantly. I know in an earlier thread it was mentioned to check to check background applications for abnormal CPU usage, but to the best of my ability I can’t pinpoint anything as an issue. Logging out / Exiting game and returning seems to fix the issue for a little, but more often than not it returns shortly after.
Just as a data point, I’m currently having issues in Warmode in Val’Sharah
Thanks, but sadly that’s not fixing it. So please do better or try harder with a fix. Cause as of December 12th, the release of 8.1 this lag has been here and the game is damn near unplayable. I’m really not sure how this got past the PTR but damn this is crappy!

Sounding very similar to what people are experiencing across Blizzard games. Lag across the board, ya’ll downgrading your servers or something to ‘cut costs’? Never seen such widespread lag issues for so long before 2018.

The lag is certainly present at the moment. Spells are delayed a little while my first attempt to loot and interact with an object were delayed a bit more than the spells. Boralus was also noticeable before went to complete a few world quests.
In game latency in the mid 50 ms range. WinMTR average below 15 ms until the last few hops, then it is below 55 ms for the rest of the way. Zero packet loss over a span of 1100 sent packets with one exception.
| ae1-br01-eqat2.as57976.ne - 0 | 1136 | 1136 | 28 | 32 | 151 | 30 |
| et-0-0-4-br02-eqch2.as57976.ne - 1 | 1095 | 1087 | 29 | 52 | 4776 | 30 |
| be2-pe01-eqch2.as57976.ne - 0 | 1136 | 1136 | 28 | 30 | 106 | 31 |
That seems to be a somewhat frequent hiccup when I run WinMTR, but normally it does not show that level of dropped packets. Edit: I removed the t from .net so it would let me post those three hops.

Questing in the zone when all the sudden I was fighting a behemoth and my abilities didn’t do anything and I was moving very fast. Turns out the game still detected me on my mount even though my animations were playing out. All despite having normal latency. It’s been like this for a week and I’ve suffered through it. Now on Christmas, after maintenance, I was expecting some of it be resolved but it seems to just get worse.
Don’t apply soon to this issue. It needs to be resolved now.

Sever input lag and slow responses from server (getting empty slot for about 3 seconds or more when trying to loot something before the loot shows up). Home/Server Latency shows 37.

I sure love paying $15 a month to feel like I’m playing on an American server from China everytime there’s something going on in the game like the new invasions. I’m pretty sure the mass number of people being in the same area is causing the servers to explode because they apparently switched to hosting them from a cluster of TI-83 calculators. I can’t even defend myself in world pvp effectively because the input lag is so bad by the time the ability I used finally triggers I’m either dead or the other person has fully healed and or ran away by that point. Small indie developers o7.

Realm: Firetree-US, Wyrmrest Accord, Scarlet Crusade, Moon Guard
Zones: Stranglethorn Vale, All BfA zones, especially bad in warfronts
Time: Every time I play? Day, Night, doesn’t seem to matter, this stuck in combat forever bug+swimming in the air mounted when I try to dismount it won’t let me. Only fix is forcing the game to close and waiting to log in and try again and it seems to fix itself for a short time before starting again. This is starting to really get me annoyed now.
Now, this has been a problem since patch. Prior to this, my demon hunter would meta from eyebeam and be stuck in meta form, swim in the air and be unable to fight after doing this… and just visibly remain in meta to me.
Then i have other characters stuck on mounts that can’t and won’t dismount, and when they finally do, the mount appears then it seems to let me dismount after 10-15 minutes of being bugged this way. Then I have the paladin charger ability that lets me rush forward, but no class mount is visible and then it suddenly appeared even though I wasn’t mounted… and I was stuck sitting on my paladin mount and able to fight.
What is going on over there? :o I’ve never had the game run so horribly in such a long time.
Edited to add: Oh yeah and forgot. I use addons, I’ve done the full UI reset. I’ve disabled and uninstalled all addons as well to test this and fix it and nothing worked. It happened firstly on my alliance priest and would NOT stop in Hellfire until I killed myself. Then I was able to resume play normally for a time after that. I really want to know what is going on -.-
