Ability/Loot Lag on Oceanic Servers Despite Normal Latency

Putting in my once again probably useless two cents that the game is ridiculously laggy in the open world. But it doesn’t matter anyway because Blizz don’t even care enough to even acknowledge it as a problem, nevermind try and fix it for us.

Why do I bother anyway. 🤷

its gotten better in the last 15 or so minutes, since i started playing the warlock and running the test.

prior to that it was impossible to play as a rogue as the global cooldown was out of whack and actions wouldnt work properly, not overly hard as a druid or paladin as they are tanks and not squishy so lag doesnt really kill them, warlock was iffy but not too bad but it was 11:30pm by that time and i preusme people are logging off so its getting better.

its been like this for a while now - but was not like this at launch. i levelled up my rogue with no issues at all before this started happening.

looting was still 2-8 seconds (per item) though during the last 15 minutes. in game latency was 2-4ms the entire time (so the game thinks im fine).

Yesterday evening in Ardenweald was horrendous again.

Dungeons continue to be just fine, just any sort of world activities feel truly gross. I love being penalised for playing on a local server.

And this issue continues. Nearly every day daily quests are a tedious pain. Tuesday in Revendreth, hardly anyone around, latency, ironically, better then normal for me (55 ish) and lag just disgraceful.
Today, well it is Wednesday, but gave up.
Blizzard continues to ignore us. Just as they did in BFA.

Still lag issues on OCE servers. 45/45 ingame but it takes 10-15 seconds to loot and combat is just a pain.

Face it my fellow Australians.

THEY. DON’T. CARE. Not unless you’re American or Chinese.

I say go ahead and cheat/hack the crap out of the game. Because they’ll take less time to ban you than they will to acknowledge and then fix the server issues.

Trying to do dailies in Revendreth around 6.00pm server time. Lag is laughable. Chat is full of complaints.
Latency remains perfectly fine.
Blizzard continues to ignore us.,

So I’m wondering… Because people tend to not post here (hey, why bother, we get ignored anyway LOL) that maybe some chat logs would be good instead.

Flying in to Ardenweald today to pick up some quests and drop in some anima:

[06:45 PM] [1] [Celisandre-Saurfang]: anyone got lag in this zone?
[06:45 PM] [1] [Calira-Saurfang]: a little
[06:45 PM] [1] [Flaminng-Caelestrasz]: Oh yeah
[06:45 PM] [1] [Kelidan]: yeah
[06:45 PM] [1] [Kensaii]: a Lot
[06:45 PM] [1] [Sneakÿstabb-Saurfang]: yup
[06:45 PM] [1] [Frayaa]: yeah i am
[06:45 PM] [1] [Xarynth]: isnt there always lag in this place lol
[06:45 PM] [1] [Raytrocitus-Saurfang]: Lag? This area is working just as blizzard intended!
[06:45 PM] [1] [Calira-Saurfang]: lol
[06:45 PM] [1] [Celisandre-Saurfang]: lol
[06:45 PM] [1] [Willowwood-Caelestrasz]: why is there lag???
[06:45 PM] [1] [Mystyx]: *so lagged I wrote this on Monday

It is making for a pretty rubbish gaming experience for their customers, so some form of response really is needed please Blizz. This has been going on and reported for (literally) years now, and only seems to be getting worse :frowning:

By not providing a response they have given the response that they dont care about fixing the issue.

Fixing requires more server capacity which costs money, which they wont spend.

World boss in Maldraxxas now… zone often unplayable levels of laggy.
Please upgrade oceanic servers.

Severe lag in Ardenweald on Barthilas all day. MS is 13 although it is taking taking multiple seconds to perform actions such as interacting with NPCs and looting mobs.

Yeah their method for solving this seems to be to ignore the issue until enough people stop playing that their servers’ aren’t overloaded during primetime.

Have been resubbed for nearly 2 weeks now and it has been completely useless almost every night.

Today in Ardenweald.

[09:27 PM] [1] [Mechasheepz]: boy…sure is fun with this lag eh?
[09:28 PM] [1] [Troublle-Saurfang]: yep sucks
[09:28 PM] [1] [Broccoli]: mate i am having a ball
[09:28 PM] [1] [Donemore-Nesingwary]: it is slows the stroke
[09:28 PM] [1] [Curryfish]: cant live without it
[09:29 PM] [1] [Mechasheepz]: shoulda have chosen an NA server
[09:29 PM] [1] [Mechasheepz]: at least then we’d be playing offpeak times
[09:29 PM] [1] [Broccoli]: my favourite thing is pressing stealth and 5 seconds later i can’t stealth because combat again

So, so bad, yet again. Latency perfectly normal but lag is terrible. This is in Stormwind (though it was bad in Bastion). No World Boss excuse.

Why is CRZ enabled again, I hate this god damn crap as it’s so damn annoying as the crz are OVERFULL. No wonder why these servers are damn lagging. TURN THIS CRAP OFF ffs so over Blizzard.

I quit playing because of CRZ, then i find out Barthilas doesn’t have CRZ on so i can back and due to the sheer number of players on this server, and now it’s on wtf… CRZ goes against what a RPG is meant to be and doesn’t belong in this game. This is the first time since SL dropped that on barthilas that I’m seeing a lot of people from other realms, WHY ? What is the damn point in this Blizz? Sharding and CRZ have been a plague on this game that needs to piss off once and for all. You even admitted that Sharding/CRZ was the cause of loot / spell lag back in BFA.

You put our sub price up, you don’t respond to this thread anymore and yet we have to suffer this god awful lag. Fix this before more people leave, people are sick of this crap, my self included.

This issue is unbelievably bad today.

Just did the world boss in Ardenweald on my demolock, my wild imps were despawning from the latency without having done any damage in combat lol.

Someone told you a fib. All Oceanic realms share CRZ. Maybe they meant that Barth isn’t a connected realm like the others, which is true - but these are different things.

~35ms reported latency in Maldraxxus, but - presumably because of the world boss combined with either some bad technology or a toaster masquerading as a server - about 10 seconds to loot a herb.

Some form of indication this nearly 2,200 post topic is being read, or acknowledgement there’s an issue and what (if anything) is being done, would I’m sure help to no end reassure your customer base.
