I think so many player catching up so making lag. I was in ardenweald is lagging so bad. And now im on revendreth and lagging as hell to. I just gonna take break and wait lag gone. Blizz pls fox it

This lag has been plagueing the game since early BfA. It is absolutely a server load issue. The fact that Blizzard still haven’t fixed the issue is just another indicator that they are completely out of touch with their own product and their player base.

They don’t listen and they don’t care. And we’ve all just been sucked into buying another sub-par product from them. Well played.

Re-appearing here to throw my hat in the ring of “Ardenweald is currently terribad!”

Like pedalling through hummus. Honestly.

No lag up until I hit Ardenweald, but have experienced it all three times I’ve flown to Ardenweald to quest (have been having regular breaks).

C’mon Blizzard, at least pretend we exist. ={

I was all over this thread when BFA launched and LOOK, IT HAPPENED AGAIN.
Ardenweald is AWFUL atm.

Is 100% clearly and undoubtedly a server load issue.

I should also mention we should not expect a fix.

They will ignore it and give lip-service like they did last time, wait for player numbers to drop, servers to stabilise and continue doing nothing.

Sometimes the layoffs make sense ya know.

Lagging to absolute crap in oribos at the moment. Makes trying to level professions SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPER fun… i really wish you guys would actually invest part of your billions of dollars into tech and hardware to make the game playable. And yes i saw the blue post talking about “you’re sorry and looking into issues for frostmourne” but ladies… you did the exact same sh*t for BFA launch and you did NOTHING to fix it.

Also looking in to Frostmourne tells me they’re not looking in to this specific issue again… I’m Nagrand/Caelestrasz/Saurfang and it’s the exact same issue we’ve been having since BFA.

Oh hey, I recall this thread, and I also recall this lag. It’s happening again. I wonder if it will be fixed this time around?

I’m on Oceanic (Nagrand/Cael) trying to quest in Ardenweald and the lag is just like it was back in the start of BfA. It’s like I have extra level of GCD both on attacks and on things like skinning, collecting items, gathering, handing in quests etc.

It’s dreadful.

Yeah i’ve logged off, this is rubbish. After the first 2 days i thought oh sweet, not like BFA. Tonight its like the BFA lag all over again! Cmon guys

The best is when you get the same loot lag inside an instance and EVERYTHING else continues around you. The combat, the damage being taken and done etc… but you can physically do nothing (as a healer) because none of your sh*t casts because somehow it’s still telling you you’re still looting that mob from the start of the dungeon, when you’re near the end boss.

Seriously. Fix it. None of the bullsh*t. Fix it or make the game free to play for oceanic until you do.

Its so bldy frustrating - the mobs arent affecte,d they hit just fine but for us its waiting for tht so-called instant attack to actually happen.

And the lag continues tonight. I am in Revendreth and its just as bad, if not worse, than it was yesterday in Ardenwealed.

FIX THIS!

I wish I could convince every person who has been commenting on the lag in General to come here… Maybe then Blizzard would listen again. =(

This is still happening, on NA servers as well.
RI-DI-CU-LOUS.

It’s an absolute joke - we are paying a subscription here and the game is laggy as.

Latency to the server is good but the server side is lagging. No issues with internet connection.

Fix your servers Blizzard - getting tired of pumping money into this game to simply face the same problem!

I feel like this is Deja vu all over again. Weren’t we just here literally exactly two years ago? Oh look, and the last blue post was from two years ago too.

GG Blizzard. I’d try to post something constructive but at this point…what’s the point? They’re clearly ignoring the problem hoping it will go away once people give up and stop playing just like last time.

2115

Its like we dont even exsit to them

2116

We exist just fine when it comes to hiking our subscription costs, but not for this apparently.

I cannot believe we are putting up with this rubbish yet again.

IIRC this issue started with the 8.1 patch.

The game has never felt locked in since then. Most of the time its bearable but never crisp like pre 8.1.

Especially bad on energy classes because it really feels like energy isn’t just lagging, it actually takes longer to generate a given amount.

Sudden burst of lag, unable to interact with questiver to hand in a quest. The game is just locking up and it seems I will have to exit to get it to work.

How much longer do you want this to go on, Blizzard? How many Oceanic players do you want to lose before you fix this?

As per post above, sudden burst of lag. Can type in chat but cant do anything with character. Have logged out and now character screen will not load.
