Oceanic server lag

Still scuffed. I gave up last night after disconnects just in the open world, have the day off from work today and cant even load into the game without it disconnecting me 3 seconds after I come in. Its a WoW issue only.

I created a class trial character on a full US realm (Sargeras) and was running around with 200+ms but no disconnects. Its an issue with Australian servers, and as we arent as important to even warrant a blue post (unless to tell us they are upping sub prices) I dont see this being fixed.

Yet they want to increase our costā€¦ GG bliz

Worst xpack launch since WOD

Oceanic isnā€™t important enough for Blizzard to bother addressing this issue, just like every other time the servers have been scuffed for months.

But hey, at least we can pay more for the privilege!

Nukezz, Your post intrigues me. Given the 200+ latency, what were combat and looting like for you on this US server?

Barthilas has been laggy many times, especially when a world boss is up. During at 8.3 for example, Shekzara (?) caused terrible lag in the Vale.

It caused unplayable lag that was never fixed. This should be an indicator of the fact that the current state is the normal state. Is it really lag if thatā€™s the way blizzard say it is supposed to be?

I do not recall the WoD or Legion world bosses causing this much grief when they current content. Mad Jim (the Nightfallen boss with the OP stat-weight trinket) could be excused because of so many players and spell effects in a confined space. Even so, I donā€™t remember it being snail-speed there.

Like Nukezz and others, Iā€™m going to test a character on a US server and see what that is like. If it performs better in areas with known lag, like Ardenweald, then I may consider moving my main to a US server.

How is this still an issue? Its been happening since start of xpac. Everyday its happening. Fix ur sh1t

Outrageous!

Games honestly unplayable YET they have the audacity to put prices up

I just transferred to Frostmourne (I wanted to be Human again). I get the feeling doing so was a mistake (picking Frostmourne I mean).

They donā€™t Give a " "ā€¦ But take our money

You are correct to the sum of infinity my Draenei friend.

The game has just started causing issues for me yet again. No matter what I try, it keeps happening, over and over ad infinitum. All I want to do is play and I canā€™t even do that.

At this point I would not be upset if my account was taken from me by some hacker (preferably after I remove any personal/payment information of course).

Iā€™m glad I refunded SL. My friend has been trying to get me back into the game and TBH cause I have the rest of my 6 month sub still get the cheaper price so I might have but lag issues not fixed by now is insultingā€¦ but letā€™s price rise to do nothing for you.

The servers are still a donkeyā€™s behind a month after launch, what the hell is Blizz doing with the billions they roll around on?

Having significant world lag in the maw. Ping is absolutely fine but within the maw there is severe world lag that seriously impacts game play.

Game is completely unplayable at the moment. When is this going to be addressed? Iā€™m sick of missing out on stuff because none of my buttons work then im stuck on loading screens and chain dcing. There is absolutely nothing wrong with my PC/internet.

Yeh, me too. As soon as I got to Ardenweald I couldnā€™t even start a quest or kill a mob. Iā€™ve restarted like 4 times and my internet is 100% Okay.

Draenor time travel to compensate for poor story was bad enough.

Needing to actually time travel 5 seconds into the future to match you action with server lag is asking a bit much.

Put a fresh hamster on the wheel.

Some years back, they said, weā€™re moving the servers to Ausā€¦ what a great idea, weā€™ll get faster pingā€¦
Well the ping is fineā€¦ the servers on the other handā€¦
If only Blizzā€™s maintenance crew were as efficient as their accounts who collect the moneyā€¦
