Blizzard, This lag has gotten completely out of hand!

Title says it all. Fix it or you will lose people. None of us want that.

Yeah it’s definitely made my gameplay interesting if nothing else. https://youtu.be/mqsX7aj2ZdE?si=AKOhGDUMFZE5f0_i

It’s been pretty fine on my end even though I’m playing on a High Pop server (Moon Guard)
I’ve noticed some latency here and there but nothing that makes the game unplayable.

I’m not seeing much lag. You might try a server with lower population just to see if performance is better. If not, then maybe it’s your system or internet connection. I found that when I went to SSB storage it made a big difference.

I hear that… it’s gone from 30ms home and world latency to 80-120ms latency on the regular now for oceanic (Jubei’Thos). Internet is not the issue, is purely since the new patch. :frowning:

Idk the game has always been a bit laggy for me

Yea, it seems like if you aren’t in an instanced zone there is lag.

I know it’s not my internet or PC.

I feel like I’m back playing before Oceania only servers existed, I’ve experienced up to 5 second delays on some of my spells this week.

Yea game still desyncs here and there. this is the new “stuttering” issue that a lot of people in DF had.

I play at 16MS over on OCE, and in any group content where the lead is from OCE, and a few weeks, maybe a month ago I noticed some changes to the game, namely that I no longer get addon lag.

Like I would log in and normally have to wait some 10-15 seconds at least before I could move and some days upwards of a minute depending on the zone and how many people there were before the lag would drop, that no longer happens.

But instead I noticed some latency lag, pressing buttons feels like there is now an inbuilt delay, even at 16MS, it just feels laggy like they have changed how spell queuing works and how the servers handle interactions.

What that also means is that when I am now on a US server I can get over 300MS ping, I haven’t seen ping like that since the dark ages of dial up internet.

And what that means is you get things like this, where spells take far longer to work then it should, seconds, not milliseconds. And recently with the raid desync issues they came out and said they have future proofed the game, whatever they done it’s not helping.

You may be connected at a certain MS, but whatever they done recently is making spells and interactions take a fair bit longer than what your MS says.
