Ability/Loot Lag on Oceanic Servers Despite Normal Latency

It’s been lagging so badly since bfa launch on nagrand. Lagged all last night with several seconds delay in any ability and looting takes ages. Only happens in bfa zones and is worse in the capital cities. I find I have more problems in alliance zones. Weekends Australian time is almost guaranteed to lag. Warmode helps sometimes and other times not.

I’ve seen lots of people all saying the same thing in chat.

Bliz, can this please be priotised and escalated higher?
It's lovely right now. Day off, middle of the day, no lag and responsive game play.

Already dreading later this afternoon.

Shockingly, my latency is the same as it will be later too...

See! Blizzard was right! It is our ISP and setup...

C'mon Blizzard sort this out...
And as soon as I'm sharded into a rare kill group the responsiveness is !@#$.

Good work testing the tech before xpac release.
Every time I come into this thread hoping that these issues to be taken seriously....and they are not , the song " The wheels on the bus go round and round " pops into my head.

Then I'm stuck with it for the rest of the day.

Jokes aside. It is till an issue.

Prime time: Jump onto one of your toons, and see for your self. PLEASE?

EDIT: By the way....my home and world ms are a pretty constant 19-21 through the whole play session. Yet it still takes ages to move things in and out of guild bank or picking herbs or looting corpses.Non prime time ? pretty good.
It's always like this for us OCE players, they either give us !@#$ servers (pretty much every game), don't give us all the content we wish to experience (PUBG) or just don't give us OCE servers at all.

Could be worse though, i know places like South Africa get it rough.
Relatable, however on this end, despite my (admittedly) bad connection, on a good day, the ping just increases and increases. The usual MS I receive is in the vicinity of 50ms. With sharding, this spikes on average to about 300-400, with instances where it feels like the ping is in the thousands. This is NOT an ISP issue.

And then when you leave group you're stuck there.

No LAG at this time, feels great to play the game with no lag.... just like entire legion expac....

Only enjoyable doing WQ's at this time.. only time I can get myself to do it.


I have started waking up earlier to do WQs before work, the experience is so great. I actually really like BfA during that time.

I go to work. Get home around 5.
Log on, hate life and think of unsubbing due to the lag until i go to bed from frustration.

Wake up again and do WQ the next day
Rinse repeat
Another day another lagfest. More lag, currently in Zul'dazar there is a 2-3 second delay on any action. I am not posting another WinMTR right now because frankly, I have better things to do than be Blizzard's guinea pig.

Fix your game!
Leveling a lowbie for the Heritage Armor. Get through Hillsbrad okay, soon as I step in to Arathi...and I just noped right out of there. 10 second loot times despite the entire zone being phased from the Warfront.

Seriously, this would be becoming almost comedic at this point if it weren't so annoying to play in certain zones at certain times.
Where are the servers physically located in Sydney?
Maybe I can walk down the road and do some light protesting at their front door!
Or I can take some cloud engineers from my company with me, and work on fixing the issue for Blizzard :D

Hahaha what else can we do but joke, huh?
I fear we are going to be putting up with this for some time to come....

All the best everyone. Blizzard has given up on us. We better have our PC's looked at...

P.S.
My 4ms in the evenings mean nothing.
I am considering getting some network and cloud engineers from my company to troubleshoot this issue. I bet we still narrow down the cause of the issues, better than these Blizzard engineers can who have access to the infrastructure. What do you all think?
I'm curious, is there an issue with US servers being sharded to our realms causing this problem?
Today everyone was whinging about lag in Vol'dun and I see the following servers complaining in chat
-Dethecus
-Sargeras
-Misha
-KhazModan
-Dalaran
-Turalyon
-Proudmoore
Why would these servers be showing in Nagrand/Cael chat?
I regret buying the expansion considering the state of the servers and blizzard completely ignoring a whole region of people.
Absolutely disgusting that this is still a problem 3 weeks into the expansion.
Starting to lag in Eastern Kingdoms now because of the Warfront. Anyone else experiencing this or just me?

Premade groups. Players can come from all over the US realms.

And I had a thought: Blizzard have blessed us with a unique definition of instant cast spells or attacks - its called Oceanicinstant. It has its own GCD where it takes up to 2 seconds to activate and lags in its action. I guess because they love us so much.
Add more data to the pile I suppose.

Only in BFA areas (alt on Kalimdor unaffacted)

2-3 second ability/loot lag. In game latency shows consistent 15-20ms

I was just at the Foundry on Stormsong doing a world quest solo not in any group at all.

It started off fine no lag, i killed one NPC and started attacking another only to have it vanish and suddenly an Alliance player at it's corpse looting.

And then came the horrid lag again.

It seems to me i was sharded to another realm when i wasn't even in a group.

I have cancelled my subscription i am so over this. 4 weeks and the problem is still going, it is way beyond acceptable now.
Wheeeee checking in from Gundrak. Again. Same !@#$, in all 3 kul'tiras zones i've been trying to do dailies/herb farm in for the last two hours.

Upside; no one else has the patience to herb farm when it sometimes takes 3-5 seconds to loot the herb so i've got no competition.
