I got off because I can’t do any leveling. How am I supposed to play when my skills dont generate any combo points?

I have 0 lag , even with high ms I don’t have a lot of issues and my computer isn’t the best either.
| Processor: | AMD Ryzen™ 5 2400G Processor, up to 3.9GHz |
|---|---|
| O/S: | Windows 10 |
| Hard Drive: | 480GB Solid State Drive + 1.0TB (1000GB) |
| Graphics: | Integrated Radeon™ Vega 11 Processor Graphics |
| Optical Drive: | No |
| Hardware: | Microsoft® 400 USB Keyboard & Mouse |
| Motherboard: | AMD® A320 Chipset Motherboard |
| Memory: | 8GB Memory DDR4 |
I don’t even see lag even with ms in the 200’s and as you can tell my computer definitely isn’t considered a “beast” in any way.

Blizzard is probably ignoring the issue and not resolving it hoping people will be quiet and eventually make it seem like it’s normal. Sad that Blizzard doesn’t make any quality products anymore. Hope these lag issues get fixed instead of support agents doing the classic, do a winmtr test here, or a, do a path ping and traceroute test there, making the customer feel like it’s their internet when really, its Blizzard not working on a solution which should’ve been dealt with, with the last update.

But the thing is…Support Forum Agents (on the old forums) contradict this.
In the Oceanic Ability/Loot Lag thread Drakuloth said, “the problem is with individual shards/the sharding system itself,” and that it’ll take a “major patch” to fix.
Previously, Drakuloth also said it, “has to do with the way sharding/instancing is happening on your realms currently. This is why it’s only affecting some players some times on certain shards.”
The NA Ability/Loot Lag thread was made as a result of them seeing this issue isn’t isolated to Oceanic servers.
Earlier in the thread Lantrasau said the issue didn’t, “add up for individual user or ISP issues.” Drakuloth concurred shortly after by saying, “we don’t currently expect this is an ISP issue.”
These quotes are easily found on the old forum thread.
Call me crazy but I assume when Blizzard says it’s on their end, and not an ISP/User issue, it is in fact on their end.

i am also on ysera horde/alliance and i really experience it when im in tiraguard questing on my alliance…
I am getting rediculous lag on 2 different computers with different isp. Oddly my rig with Rx 590 is getting better for than my newest rig with rtx 2080… Same motherboard CPU ram everything.
When EVERY SINGLE OTHER game I play is running beautifully on my new system, and WoW is lagging horribly, I tend to suspect it’s on Blizzards end.
Had this problem before in previous expansions. Bliz normal response “its you”. Then we find out different.
Only difference this time is Hazikostas & crew don’t care (much like all of BfA).
Toodle-Ooo, Bliz.

I couldn’t agree more.
So are any of these maintenance patches working on this? I get lag just trying to log in.

If anyone at blizzard was working on this it probably would’ve been fixed by now or at least they would’ve notified the players that they’re aware of the issues and working on a fix but no updates which tells all of us, they either don’t know how to fix it or don’t care.
They will tell players, do a winmtr test do a pathping test, maybe its your internet but no. I’d say 8 times out of 10 it has nothing to do with the persons internet and it’s just blizzard server issues they don’t want to admit.

I love it how I left this post some days ago and when players were trying to lay the blame game on myself and anyone else who had lag because “I don’t have lag so it must be your fault”. Now I come back after 10 days and notice it is asking me to mark one of the replies as a solution to our problem.
Almost as if Blizzard cannot accept the fact their game is broken and want us to solve it ourselves right? Yet replies on here still tell me it is the game that is not working.

I’m only reading this because I need to kill a few minutes while I wait for my character to mount up.

Possible band-aid fix. Bliz may have corrupted some files with 8.1. I ran the repair tool and did 28 dailies this morning, Horde & Alliance, without issues. Not going to say it’s fixed, but haven’t had any lag or delay issues since running the repair utility. Time will tell.
Previously I’d given up on dailies in frustration, today was actually fun. Hope to see a hotfix in the near future.
I… I love this post so much.

Activisions fault imo
No lag here
Here’s the sad bit… Paid money to transfer servers, and the problems persist on Stormreaver, as they did on Ysera.
I experience no such problems when playing any of my Alliance characters on the Nesingwary server, though. So, its not a rig-specific problem.

It’s got nothing to do with your rig, it is a combination of how the servers are setup and the population on each one.
Try playing at a different time, sometime when it is not peak for anyone around the world, like 3AM my time there is almost no one on and no lag, but at 9PMish (AU peak) and 10AMish my time (US peak) it is worse.
It could also come down to the server you are on, there could be an issue with said physical hardware that runs the server having issues and not being able to keep up to scratch whilst the other server you play on had no physical issues.
I posted a video some time after this post showing what actually happens with the lag, no responses from the white knights telling us it is our problem and we need to source what our issues are and fix it ourselves, no discussion about how it is Blizzards fault, just dead air because there is no argument that can be made and no one can feel good about themselves telling others off for not fixing their own problems because no one can spout the usual nonsense you see here of “I am not having an issue so it must be your fault” and “If you cannot provide evidence I don’t believe you” and the best being “You missed telling us X” or “You misspelt Y”, “Therefore I am using this small and insignificant factor to ensure the blame stays with you”, I love that last argument and seeing how pitiful people will be just to ensure they are right and you are wrong.

For those saying it is outdated hardware. You are funny. I’m running an i7 920 (stock clocked at a whopping 2.87 GHZ) with 16GB of ram, an NVIDIA 970 4GB, and a 350 Mbps connection. I am also using Slackware64 14.2 modded with wine-staging 3.21 with Vulkan API.
At the main dock in BFA, I’m getting between 40-60fps on settings 8.
While I’m on a lower end server as far as population, I would say that many of the problems people are experiencing are server or internet connection related.
It could be a packet drop at one of routes along the way, or it could be the server itself. From other threads, Blizzard has said they are looking into the problem. It could take them awhile to narrow down what it is. It might be a buggy server code or it could be the servers that are having problems are unable to handle the increased traffic to them.
We will just have to wait and see.

This is most likely the problem, because the actual lag, the real lag, the stuff that makes you take 1-2 seconds to do something, happens way more when there are more players around.
The problem I think with GD is that some players think lag in different terms. Like when you move and it takes a second for the screen to tick over and register you are moving before it does the whole skip scene or speed up animation to catch up thing.
But the lag I myself am referring to is that of the “Let’s mount… now let’s wait 2 seconds before it registers”. Than the whole wait 2 seconds after the cast time finishes before you are on your mount, and that is not computer lag.
From a business perspective they cannot simply pay for more bandwidth, it is not viable unless it actually works and means more players are going to play to offset the cost, and it could be a reason we are seeing more lag lately, less players, less income, less cost to servers, who knows.
But you are right, we need to wait and see, but we also need to continue to tell Blizzard that there are problems to ensure they know they need to keep working on them, else if we stop complaining and just assume they are working on it, they may assume it has been fixed and stop working on it.
