Since the 10.2.7 and Cata patches, I am getting random latency spikes. Latency generally runs 13-18ms, getting spikes as high as 3k. I am not having this issue with any of the other MMOs I play. Please advise. Thanks.

do you get screen freeze normally at randomly times?

Very rarely, but it’s always during an event where ppl are unleashing all their cooldowns. I DO get a significant drop in framerate in Oribos and Valdrakken.
i get screen freeze randomly for about 5 to 10 seconds could get anybody to respond to my forum post about it for past a week

try running pingplotter and posting the results.
I was getting it that bad on Wednesday but as long as I avoid 11 am to 4pm -it seems to be better. Pingplotter shows me losing packets at that time of the screen freezes. I am getting told it is an ISP issue but I didn’t have it before the patch and so I am more inclined to believe the patch or a windows update that came through the same day that changed something that is either making this ISP issue show up more obviously or changed some settings on my PC.

I play SWTOR and Star Trek Online on occasion. I tested both those, neither of them have this issue. Ahhh well, let’s hope they fix this along with the Guild Bank bug

But they aren’t hosted in the same place as WoW, so you’d want to run the test to do any troubleshooting.

i’ve been having the same issues and i’ve lost rating in arena over this
Same thing happened with Plunderstorm. They said it wasn’t the issue but it 100% is. I usually run at 25ms. Plunderstorm comes out and I get random, lingering 3k-14kms. Plunderstorm ends, problem solved. Remix coming out soon, problems back. Blizz, begging you, FIX THIS. The game is unplayable.

eh they don’t care they just want our money our opinions mean very little i’m with you on it being absurd but what can we do?
well fact being if it was the consumers connection which in this thread it really isn’t its blizzards the fact any of us have to fight a connection just to play the game ain’t a skill issue its just time gating the player moreso than the game itself
my connection goes into the crapper whenever i enter into a rated arena or rated pvp content, instanced content since 10.2.7 launched. i highly doubt its anything related to the addons but i’m not entirely sure i’m just a gamer anything beyond understanding the games as a whole is beyond me
It’s not addons

because more than likely this is affecting plenty who don’t even run addons i disabled all of mine and it still does it
maybe its an indirect ghost DDoS
It’s a routing issue which they claimed wasn’t going to be a problem with implementing Plunderstorm and Remix which it most certainly is because it’s the only time this issue has occured.

if this doesn’t get fixed this’ll be my nail in the coffin for blizzard as a whole because this is stupid
SAME. Nothing like a bricked 12 due to a rogue lag spike to make ya want to throw a game in the trash.
funnily enough maybe that is the intent get rid of the players they don’t want or need and bring in new blood
