Initiating a pet battle is often met with a long delay before the battle begins, and has a high chance of giving the error message of “Failed to Create Pet Battle” or “Pet Battle Already in Progress” (despite not being in a battle).
This issue began a couple of days ago. It does not appear to be an internet latency issue, as others in my guild have also experienced the problem.
Also been experiencing this issue and also just started for me a few days ago. It happens with any trainer/boss pet especially.
Also having the same issue. Trying to do pet battles in Dalaran (Legion) while pet week. And repeating the same trainer. Seems like almost every battle delays in loading, or every second one fails with the same “Failed to create Pet Battle”.
I wonder if this also ties in with delays in trying to open Bank, Guild bank and adding or removing items. Big delays on Oceanic. (And others report same pet battle and delay issues as well when I asked around).
Have been seeing this for the past coupe of weeks also. Latency 39/39, yet initiating a pet battle feels like it’s 100 times worse than that.
Actually sending mail has also had some almighty lag on it too - which kicked in around the same time (so I suspect may be related).
I had assumed that “Failed to Create Pet Battle” was related to the location, as I’ve only had it happen where the wild pet was in a congested location.
I have noticed though that opening guild bank takes at least 30s to open. And that several other ‘collection/inventory’ type interfaces have a significant delay. For example the toy box.
Have noticed the same thing happening recently for all the things listed above (sending mail, creating pet battles, guild bank opening)
Same as the above - long delays on pet battles, gbank and mail. I’m playing from the UK so i thought it might be my connection but it’s fine in all other respects.
Yep, I’ve been noticing this more too. It’s especially fun when it happens at the Darkmoon Faire, and it still deducts a token. -_-
My latency (home and world) is almost always under 20ms and I do run into delayed pet battles. Whether it’s wild pet or regular pet battle.
Having this happen quite often…
Can’t see any mention in the patch notes / hotfixes, but (maybe just me) this seems to be better since reset?
I thought this was just me having this issue. It’s becoming very annoying.
Glad I am not the only one.
