Myself and a few friends have been running random BG’s and every BG we join we have normal home MS (50) but every single BG’s world ms is 200-250. Its frustrating because it puts a delay on your abilities and causes you to double use something or gap a stun because of the way abilities are put into the spell que window. Anybody else noticing this?

Usually it’s because the bg leader is oceanic or there are enough oceanic people to give shard prio to. Not sure if that is the case in mop pre-patch or not.

bump this is obnoxious 9 out of 10 bg’s is 220 world ms. Why are we being put on oceanic servers? Was it like this during cata?

massive problem needs to be fixed asap. If this is still a problem after mop drops and isn’t addressed i’ll just cancel my sub because the bgs are not fun like this and it’s really all i have time for

yep i feel the same exact way this is a HUGE issue for the pvp community and is really killing the fun. I know blizzard has a hard time communicating but we deserve to know if this is intentional or not and if its something they are aware about.
This is simply untrue…
yes your statement certainly is because this is a major issue. If you choose to believe it or not thats on you, but for myself and everyone im queing with in BG’s we are all getting oceanic world ping with the occasional america server
bump for good measure
keepin it fresh
Yeah same here,10ms out of bgs 200ms in…cant play like this.

Instances got changed with the pre-patch. Now the first person to enter will set the server location. This even happens with raids.
If thats the case, ill just go back to retail.
Wanted to play mop…
pls fix this blizz

well that didn’t take long to prove incorrect. idk why you wouldn’t have checked yourself. I was the first person to enter the BG and immediately noticed the ping increase to 200-300
BLIZZARD FIX THIS ASAP YOU’RE KILLING MOP RELEASE
Doesn’t seem to just be high ping. Last weekend I had multiple BGs where packets just seem to be dropping. Every time I pulled up a continuous ping and I wasn’t dropping packets pinging google, but everybody would be doing the treadmill around me and none of my spells would be working, as if I lost contact with the server completely for 10-15 seconds.
Something is severely jacked up with the BG server networking…

No, it’s the first person who was selected for that BG “Queue”. The instance is already created before you enter.
There is no dedicated oceanic servers in mop classic so there’s no way it’s pre selecting a server before anyone joins. They will completely kill rated PvP in mop if this continues and that’s my biggest concern. It’s frustrating with randoms for sure but when it comes to the competitive side of PvP if it’s not something is fixed the PvP will die in a couple weeks after server start.
I just have not played any classic up untill mop because the game was to slow for me so I am unaware if this is something that has been going on with BGs since the beginning or what. Did any of you notice this issue in Cata?
I did 2 BGs last week, quit because low honor which is another problem, but had severe world MS. I’d hoped it was temporary because pre patch just launched and BGs were poppin but if this is still happening, something is clearly wrong
It’s the same on retail lol. If an Aussie joins the BG first it’s an oceanic shard and everyone does the static moonwalk for 4-5 seconds for the entire BG.
There is no oceanic realms in mop classic. Also on retail it happens 1 out of every 30 BGs , not every single one.
