Ability/Loot Lag on North American Servers Despite Normal Latency

just happened to me inside Freehold dungeon
*not just me, but the whole group

SEVERE lag in Nazjatar reported by everyone in chat. 101 / 101 ping since im playing from europe.

Playing on Stormrage US server. Started happening since daily reset.

This is a different kind of lag mate.

I know its different kind of lag because my ping is always approx 100 / 100

Also happening in Lightbringer. Almost everyone from my guild who was logged on was experiencing the same lag. It apparently depended on the zone. BFA zones obviously were the worst. :/:face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Proudmoore player here to add in my experiences. I donā€™t have a great ISP but Iā€™ve had no trouble with BFA until the opening of the new zones.

I can no longer raid, M+, arena, basically anything that requires stability. Iā€™ll frequently be looking at complete stoppage for 4 secs while looking at 65ms home and world.

Same issue, since BFA launch Occasional but will happen 5 times at least for a 1 hour session.
Character name: Khandis
Realm: Lightningā€™s blade Zones: all BFA zones, especially when horde and alliance invasions are out and I am in that zone.
Server time: Any timeā€¦ mornings, late nights, etc.

With the news zones out and new patch I now see the WORLD MS going UP.
That is something that I didnā€™t see before. I had the lag/delay, but no MS change.

Now I see it go up. Home is fine. Only WORLD MS is going up, to random numbers under 250. Never higher than this.
Annoying when it is 50 and and unplayable when it is 100 and up.

WE ARE PAYING FOR THIS?

Iā€™ve had similar issues over the past week or so. Teammate/enemy abilities go off around me, and I can read chat, but my abilities are severely lagged. Sometimes things return to normal, sometimes the entire game freezes up. Those times it looks like I lagged out- I can move, but there is obviously no connection and I cannot exit the game, I have to force close it to resolve the issues.

Our guild participated in the new Naz raid last night and several times my screen would just freeze and when it unfroze I was standing in one of the puddles left and promptly died. Before it froze I was in a different position and not affected by that particular attackā€¦so yea, there was some significant issues.

I was not the only one to experience this ā€œlag-stop-lagā€ release problem either. The raid was called after the third platform at the second boss in that water portion of the instance because it was really obvious we were fighting more than just the boss and the raid mechanics.

Just wanted to chime in here and say I am having the same issues. Itā€™s a bad hop going to a tokyojp? Last night my ping shot to 2k and 4k, I had to log off, 100k from level 120, pretty upset. Hope this gets resolved soon. I ran a tracert when I woke up this morning and it was still showing 500 - 600ms.

Every single time I level up, cross into another zone, get an achievement, unlock a dungeon or anything, the game totally freezes for an average of ten seconds.

Iā€™m getting tired of the game freezing for ten seconds every time I earn something. And I want to see the lights go off around my toons when I level up, I like that visual. Now It freezes and when it comes back itā€™s over. Ugh blizz.

When is this being fixed? This is the most absurd bug. Nobody wants this. Whatever ā€œfeatureā€ is causing this, is not worth what itā€™s doing.

Based on some experiences earlier, Iā€™m starting to suspect that sharding is causing it.

This has been happening to me since launch. Ping is always between 30-60, but I have constant input lag. Itā€™s happening in every BFA zone, but never in instances or raids. Itā€™s happened on all of my characters, on multiple computers, and in multiple locations with different internet connections.

It makes the open world content so infuriating which is a bummer cause I really want to like Mechagon and Nazjatar, but it drives me nuts in a half an hour and Iā€™ll just boot up another game and get no input lag at all.

Characters: All of them (Jesbro is my main)
Location: Every BFA Zone
Server: Stormrage

Wow, the lag is bad today. No changes on this end since yesterday.

Many actions take 1-2 seconds to register.

Every single time I level up or cross into another zone my game freezes for 10 seconds or longer. When attempting to turn in or accept a quest the window just doesnā€™t want to close. Ability lag, fishing lag, my latency averages 45 home and world. It happens on every character I have in every zone on every server.

Iā€™m having the same issue since yesterday. 1100 + ms lag. Iā€™ve speed tested my internet-its fast. HD streaming super fast (only two users in the house and it can easily handle both). Iā€™ve restarted battle.net completely. Played without any addons, deleted the usual folders, and restarted my computer multiple times. Other games are working just fine.

Not sure what I should check next to fix this?

Iā€™ve been getting this now for the past week or so too. Makes the game very difficult to enjoy, please let us know what you changed Blizz, I think Iā€™ll just unsub for now.

Still seeing this lag tooā€¦even saw it in raid this week and it wasnā€™t just me. On Ashvane heroic almost my whole raid group was lagging with perfectly fine home/world and fpsā€¦

Any blue updates on this???
