Ability/Loot Lag on Oceanic Servers Despite Normal Latency

Blizzard havnt admitted it is an issue yet....they dont even have the decency to advise their customers if they still want the info requested so long ago.
Not much has changed since they decided to blame the issue on Users net.

Shameful.
Hi Blizzard. This is just a daily request for an ETA on a fix.
Hey guys, just wondering if any of you have tried a tunneling service like WTFast?
I am curious if it works for you. There might be a backbone near, but outside of, the Blizzard data center causing some issues? At least if you try a tunneling service, and you find there is no change in performance, then you know it is the Blizzard servers because your traffic went a different route to the Blizz data centers, but the issue remains.

I think WTFast offers free trials. But there are other tunneling services out there too.

Dungeons etc. are completely uneffected which doesn't gel with a routing issue.

I haven't tried with a tunneling service, but i have logged on and played numerous times with my PIA VPN connected (it auto connects on my computer at start up and i regularly forget to disconnect it for WoW), and the same issues with the low ping (both local and world) yet still have noticeable latency during peak times.
I have tried with both Sydney and Melbourne as my location on the VPN.
Both locations and no VPN have the same experience
I know your all over this Blizz, but a fix soon would be good.......

Of course I don't.
I suppose you just want to sit on your a** and whinge that Blizz isn't providing updates.

Instead, maybe you can be a bit more proactive like me and try to troubleshoot the issue, seeing as Blizz aren't being particularly helpful right now...

Server side issue is server side.
I also constantly have this issue.

My main M+ group are all US tichondrius and turalyon. And as i pug most raiding that usually pulls me over to the US as well.

Ill have home of 7ms and away starting at 150 then as the dungeon goes on easily 500 and when im really bad and linking pictures in our discord its 800+ on a really bad day.

My ISP recently moved me to their performance network and my hops to the IP suggested to winmtr were reduced from about 10hops down to 5hops. It made no difference to my experience playing with them.

I do have a special question though. I would like to know if this is a blizzard server to server congestion or issue. If i moved to tichondrius, id be happy with 250 as a constant rather than this horrible unplayable lag. There is even lag when the MS indicator says there isnt.

The other day, i rolled a class trial on tichondrius and played through all the BFA opening scenarios. My latency was 250/250 but never changed and perfectly playable. Assuming the issue is not my connection to blizzard but rather internal to them. I wonder if this would be a work around for the time being

This thread is NOT about your issue.
Thread is about Bliz Server Side delay due to not having the capacity to support oceanic population.
We experience no visible increase of latency network wise, but delays in ingame actions such as combat or herb/mine.
Oh, damn you’re right sorry I have mixed it up. I’m sure I read it in another thread recently. I wrote that hastily between Tasks after experiencing it in game. My bad
Daily request for an ETA on a fix for this problem.

There is nothing anyone outside Blizzard can do about a server side latency issue. If you had bothered to read a few more pages of posts you would see this.
The fact that Blizzard isnt even responding anymore really sucks bad as this issue is what? 6 weeks old? and where does it say that they recognise the issue? where does it say they are trying to fix it?
I've macro'd up a DBM 3-second countdown from the moment I proc Hot Strike! so that I can now effectively time my instant-Pyroblasts.
I played last night and herbed mostly lag free. I guess tonight we find out whether that meant they're fixing things, or I was just lucky, or that so few people play on Tuesday nights that it's not 'peak' lol.
Let's play a game, when will a blizzard rep respond to us next? I say 2 days from now.

Probably means enough people have just stopped logging on so it's not as much of an issue. Hell of a customer service strat, "ignore them until they stop logging on then there isn't as much server load and then it's fixed :DDDD good work team!"
The Zone you are in: Zuldezar
The character you are on: Sivao
How long ago you had the issue: now
The Realm the affected character is on: Nagrand
If you are in a group or not: not
Is war mode on or off: off

5 second delay on mail, using vendors, mounting. Took four seconds after cast bar finished.

Latency 13/13

Time 1717pm Sydney time. (peak time which would be a great time to test....)

This is getting real old real fast.
