Re-affirming this issue, if you can call it that. We (Oceanic realms) are being grouped into Brazil BGs, CONSTANTLY.
The amount of times I’ve played on a Brazil server before BFA: 1-2.
The amount of times I’ve played on a Brazil server since BFA: 50+
Now, either of two things are happening. Either there is a bug with the matchmaking system for Oceania; or there are so few Oceanic AND West Coast PVP players left that the system has no choice but to group us with Brazil.
Either one basically means that the game is unplayable for Aussies & Kiwis (and others).
I’ve still got a sub and regularly check back to see if the issue has been fixed, to no avail.
I just wanted to confirm that over the last few weeks, we’ve made a number of changes to potentially address reported lag issues with Oceanic realms. Those changes and updates to the game service are now implemented.
There is also a building in the garrsion which gives me 20-30ms more latency, it seems only to effect frostmourne though sadly as other servers like barth and aman’thul aren’t effected.
Yup, still isn’t fixed. I’ve got ~45ms world and server response times but looting and on occasion some abilities take anywhere up to 1-2 seconds. It’s particularly frustrating because you have to wait a couple of seconds to open the loot interface and then another 1-2 seconds for the loot to move to your bags. Any update on this Blizzard? This is seriously impacting my experience playing your game. QoL issue.
Last night I missed out on a quest reward because the chest I was opening took so long to open. The items in the chest got sent to me by the postmaster, but not the quest item that was in it.
It’s has nothing to do with our latency, it has everything to do with your FN sharding lag that has been an on going issues from the start of BFA for all players not just Oceanic…
Would you like me too link you all the reddit/forums posts from players on US/OC/LA? I still have the link saved from the very first post about the issue in 2018.
You lost massive numbers in BFA and sharding lag wasn’t that much of an issue with the numbers you had left.
Pull your head out of your @#$ and fix the on going issue that started from BFA, months went by before you even acknowledge the issue… The issue is on your end not ours.
it’s FN sad you couldn’t even handle four forty man raids with war mode on, in the same shard.
I don’t know if this was known to be the case forever, or if it just natural as per design, but phasing into an oceanic server always shoots my MS up and increasing my response times by a few seconds. It’s already been pointed out that this is a Blizzard issue so there isn’t much to say there, but if it is something that can in fact be fixed then it absolutely needs to be because it causes oceanic players to be isolated due to NA players not wanting to deal with lag. Also, for people that play WoW early in the morning in NA, they’re playing during the afternoon to evening timeframe for oceanic players so there are many more of them than anyone else posting in LFG, but since they cause lag, players like me avoid them even though we would normally be more than happy to join them and sail through keystones. All of my experiences with oceanic players have been exceptional, so I would like to be able to play with them without hinderance.
YES, Blizzard please fix this extreme lag problem. I can’t even log in to any of my characters now in Frostmourne. Other servers in US have no problem. But the reasons I pay blizzard monthly is to play my main characters which are all in Frostmourne. PLEASE FIX IT.
making prog very hard
