The lag everyone is experiencing in my opinion is to the mash up of servers. A few nights ago you had us just a fizzcrank/aggramar and everything was fine. Now we are back to about 20 different server names going on in our group. Shocker the lag is back. I wonder if you guys actually test what happens everytime you do this. The assaults are fun, not as much so when everyone is doing them and you have a bombing mission that takes 30 mins due to the sheer overpopulation. The night we were just fizz/agg same assault was going on bombing mission took minutes. I get that the population has dwindled some, but the mass merging is causing the issues and I don’t see how the server team isn’t aware.

Agrammar and fizzcrank are merged. For all intents and purposes you function as one server.
Sharding is what causes you to see people from other realms. Out in bfa zones sharding is always on, and you are moved to different server shards as needed to maintain a certain population level. Sharding is not turned on or off, and whether you see mostly people from your realm or others is based just off population targets.
If you are seeing high latency numbers, or low fps numbers, it’s on your end and you should troubleshoot that with technical support. Normal latency and fps combined with ability/action delay can be a server side issue related to sharding, that they’re working on.
I don’t see high latency or low fps so thanks for assuming, and yes they did take down the whole merge thing a few nights ago for a night, many noticed it as well. I am typing this out to blizzard, since I am not the only one who noticed. But feel free to keep assuming everything about my computer. If you read the other post we are all experiencing the same issues with no lag showing, the one night that we were finally just fizz/agg again we had none to retype the whole essence of my post for an explanation i didn’t need to get from someone who doesn’t work blizz.
From your first description it sounded like it could be an issue with your computer. I didn’t assume it was. I explained both possibilities because you didn’t give enough information to know which it was, as you used lots of incorrect terminology, which is why I also explained how sharding works. In your first post you don’t mention ability delay at all. You complain about lag, then are mad that I don’t know that your latency isn’t high, and you complain about events taking too long when you’re around other people without explaining why, when large groups of people often causes fps problems or sometimes latency. Your second post that actually clarifies what your issue was, was not a waste, because a blue wouldn’t know either based on what you at first said.
Regardless, this is a known issue and there is a containment thread here in technical support where you should post about it, I’m sure you can find it.
Agree , for me CRZ and Sharding is the true problem we have since BFA launch , and nothing has done to solve this problem , make the game unplayable !
