Let me start out by saying I’ve been playing this game for 20 years roughly. I haven’t experienced much lag on my end, ever.
Now with that being said, is anybody else experiencing random latency issues? I’ll play for a couple hours perfectly fine, and then BAM! I get his with some weird latency where I can’t mount, use my abilities, etc… But I can move and chat without any issues… I have to log out of the game and back in before it clears.
Turn the game off, let the PC rest.
But no, I haven’t had any consistent lag like that. Just intermittent autoloot lag, mostly.
ROFL My PC is shut off for roughly 10-12 hours a day. If I’m not using it, I power it off.
My latency is normally 19ms home and world both
Sometimes I get zone lag, loot lag and things like that.
Not sure it’s latency issues cuz I’ve not seen it over 25 in a while.
and yea, I turn my PC off when I’m not using it either.
That’s the thing as well. My home latency is 23ms and world is around 27-30ms. And WoW is the only game that I get disconnected from or catch this weird lag on doing something. I thought it was my addons, so I disabled them all and it still happened.
I’ve only experienced this a few times, but its more just the zone I’m in is lagging, general chat is pretty funny when this happens.
I don’t know for sure, but I’m willing to bet most of the lag issues are database related.
WoW’s Db has to be ginormus by now, and with millions of players sitting on prolly 10’s of millions of toons they hardly play, all the loot tables, spell effects, timers, and all the other “conditions” every toon has that are unique to the specific toon…yea, my money is on DB stuff.
yep! same problem, playing pvp instance no problem, PvE and world PvE my latency go from 49 to 750.
By the way my pc is just new for this Expasion…
Same issue for me. Latency spikes.
My latency is normally 24-26 ms for home and world. And I very, very rarely have a DC.
But tonight, for like the 6th or 7th night since TWW launched, I had wickedly bad latency plus a few DC’s. I was on the final boss of Fungal Folly, tier 8, and three times I died as I used an ability and counted, out loud, 1, 2, 3, 4 before it actually registered. That’s 4 seconds or 4000 ms! The last death, I couldn’t even rez as I apparently had DC’d.
So I decided to skip the delves and do some WQ’s, farm some ore, skill up my fishing, and do some quests for the sojourner achievements. But I’m waiting seconds to start to mine an ore node when I click it. When fishing, I’m missing out because by the time the bobber bobs and the game registers my click on it, the fish is gone.
Then in Hallowfal, on the elite rep quests up north, I almost died repeatedly to elites that normally are not a problem, because once again I’m counting seconds between button presses (which are registering in the client as indicated by the buttons activating on the UI), but no response in game for seconds at a time.
In the end, for the 6th or 7th time in just three weeks, I decided to call it a night, as the latency spikes and DC’s are just too frustrating. And I’m not the only one, some guildies are having similar issues, and we are becoming increasingly concerned over whether our raid nights will be very successful if this is what happens then.
