Adding my name to the list of the Quest-Lag Outbreak. It’s really getting on my nerves, especially since I want to speedlevel through the goblin’s starting zone, but can’t due to those 1-2 seconds of freeze frame.
Hopefully blizzard fixes this soon.
I made a topic about this in the general forum Anyone is experiencing a huge lag spike when turning in quest? - #22 by Sunlíght-moon-guard so you can add my name to the list of lag freeze town.

Came here to see if there was a fix for this yet, looks like it’s just got to be dealt with until Blizz fixes it. Super annoying.
Hello, Blues? They suddenly went silent on us. I’m seeing more and more new threads pop up regarding this issue. It would be nice if we had some kinda feedback. Thanks.
There is a maintenance coming tomorrow morning, maybe it has to do with this issue, but i am not sure and just guessing at this point.
Even after the patches I’m having the same issue. Tried all the usual fixes, even dropped my graphics all the way to minimums, no change.

I’m having this issue as well after the update
Reporting in with same issue, micro freeze on quest turn in.
Can confirm. This happens every time I turn in a quest. Reproducible in Nazjatar. 1-2 second game freeze, hard drive writes, then back to normal.
Same issue here. Like a 1s freeze at random, regardless of activity. It’s happened while doing the ram racing, while just riding around on my mount, while in combat, and especially when I turn in a quest.
I am experiencing the same issue as everyone else. I am relieved that it’s not just my client/system.
With 8.2.5’s implementation the game will freeze/stutter for a brief moment (<1 sec or so) every time I complete I world quest. It doesnt matter where or what type (Nazjatar, Arathi, Zuldazar…it’s all the same) and it makes zipping through world quests annoying. Nothing else bad happens - rewards, reputation, relevant achievements are all applied as per normal. It’s just a small stutter that occurs each time it completes.
Edit - looks like they are at least aware of the issue and are looking into it
Same thing happening to me in Worgen starting area!
That lag in the Worgen Starter area has been in the game for years and Blizzard wont fix the lag in the Worgen starter (Gilneas) area.
Having the same problem here. My game has just updated, it was very small, and I guessed it was a hot fix, but I was wrong, still freezing after turning in quests.
Also getting the same issue, turning in quests or completing world quests or even doing something that updates the questlog like quest progression) and sometimes when picking up loot seems to cause about a half second freeze.
same issue for quests, oddly enough it even happens in csgo now too, but that doesnt seem to have a trigger i just get the same 2 second freeze randomly there ever since 8.2.5, the fact that i have the same freeze issue in a separate game that coincides with this one bothers me a bit. makes me wanna fully delete wow and reinstall it.
Same issue here 
same here for the quests… waiting for a fix
That worries me A LOT. I’ve stopped playing since my HDD started doing a strange sound everytime the game freezes, so I was afraid this bug could damage It somehow…
May I ask If you were logged on Battlenet when CSGO freezed? That would make sense at least.
yea i had battlenet on, not wow itself but battle net was logged in
(same poster i just notice it had my classic on for some reason)
