Ability/Loot Lag on Oceanic Servers Despite Normal Latency

Update US servers.

This effect just now started affecting me. on Emerald Dream US. started 7:30pm est 8/21/2018, while in a warsong gulch. takes up to 10 seconds for key commands to register and activate.


Oh look it's happening on US servers. What's the bet it gets fixed on them ASAP?
This support forum is garbage for anything remotely difficult. 300+ posts on an issue thats been progressively getting worse for the entire launch week. We get one “post your winMTR or turn off warmode.”

Even after 10+ years of the same crap, their customer support is still garbage.
As mentioned in an earlier post, try blocking access to the voice function via your firewall. In windows 7 I removed the 5 instances of rules associated with the voice service and it fixed my problem immediately. I've been able to play without world lag for days.

Already attempted this and it didn't work for me. I've tried a wide variety of solutions that have worked for others and I'm still getting horrendous lag. It's especially bad around the Alliance areas.
Any fixes here please?

Nope. Don't expect one.
Blissurd plz all regions matter
I'm honestly debating on letting my sub lapse because of this nonsense. Normally I'm not one to threaten that but if it's unplayable in the evening when I normally play then there is no point keeping a subscription.
Glad to see it's not a case of me losing my mind...

Seriously Blizzard, 16 pages of people complaining about 2-4 sec lag & you still try blame our ISP. I myself have 2ms latency with home & world, yet it still has a 2-4 sec lag on game play. Maybe if you kick off the US players of a Aus server it will fix the problem, there you go maybe a answer instead of you blaming our ISP.
Fix the problem i cant imagine when raids are released how we will be able to do anything in game. We are paying good money for what, laggy gameplay. Maybe we Australians dont matter to you at all as long as your getting you subscription fees from us all.

Some good points there. I wonder often if Blizz don't give a rats about Oceanic servers because of our lower population levels? Maybe if we ALL just stopped our subs? They might take notice if they potentially lost a crap ton of our money...
It's almost unplayable at this stage.

Latency was better when there were no Aussie servers and were stuck with around 200ms. At least there wasn't a 2-3 second pause between commands.
I was just running around in the game, and until I got past Brennadam to where you read the Stormsong proclamations, everything was ok. When the proclamations started, my lag went so bad, I couldn't even log out, and had to forcibly shut the game down.

My ping was still 21/22ms, but all actions stopped. I'm guessing when I log back in, I'll be dead...
I cant play like this,the lag between attacks, accepting quests and looting is frustrating. Only started for me the last few days. Ping is fine, this is not an ISP issue. I certainly wont continue my sub at this rate.
Frostmourne is close to being unplayable....
This is a joke. Frostmourne realm, 18ms home, 18ms server. 1 second between keystroke and action in reality.
Frostmourne broken.

- Does this latency only occur in Battle for Azeroth zones or anywhere in game?
I've only noticed it in BfA zones, but haven't really played much outside tho so far.
- When the latency is occurring what does your Home/World latency report.
Home= 24
World= 24
12/12 and the gameplay feels like 130 ms or worse. 5 seconds loot lag and spell lag is anything up to 2 seconds.

WHEN is this being fixed????

Thank you all for the continues reports. We are continuing to look in to what is causing this.


That was three days ago.

Whats going on?
