Same here also in korea.
Happening since patch 2 weeks ago.
I’m on a us server but play and raid with people in frostmourne mostly. and only have issues when connecting with them.
I spoke with my ISP today and they ran some checks etc. They confirmed there are no faulty/damaged submarine cables between thailand and australia and thus its a blizzard server issue local to Sydney. (Which I think we all knew/suspected anyway)
Bump to confirm I’m still experiencing huge latency spikes that freeze the game for over a minute on April 10th.
Bump. Posting here again after my initial reply a few days ago.
This current lag spike is soooo long. Usually it lasts like 2 to 5 mins, maybe. Of course it repeats itself over and over for an hour or something.
But currently, this is the longest spike that has been more than 10 mins now. Can’t do anything in game.
965ms (home), 1619ms (world)
I’ve tried the usual DNS flush, reset fiber router, unplug/replug ethernet cables, etc.
I have zero issues streaming 4K video while also streaming 2 separate Twitch channels at 1080p, and listening to Spotify… just as a test. I normally don’t do that. lol
But when can we expect a Blue post about this issue? It’s been going on for weeks… ever since RWF at the beginning of March!
Best of luck to everyone.

Same as the person above. Seems to happen mostly at nights but I see lag spikes each day. I will be forced to cancel or transfer servers if I can confirm the US ones would be better. I’d rather have average 300ms ping than 150ms ping that spikes to 1600ms or freezes 6 times a raid night.
Can anyone in Asia confirm that they don’t get these issues connecting to US like Wayfarer?
One isn’t guaranteed, but if you have information to add so feedback can be sent on to the networking team, well the more the better.
The issue is unchanged for over 2 weeks now. I had contacted my ISP as well after making my post last week and requested an investigation.
After a whole week of diagnostics and monitoring, no issue was found with their network in Japan. Considering I have no problems at all with my internet in general, only the connection to the OCE Blizzard servers is bad and apparently players from all over Asia and the US encounter the same issues, this was no surprise. I have also no issues connecting to Australian servers of other services (e.g. Discord) and a VPN connection to servers in Australia is also working without any trouble.
Considering this is clearly not an individual or ISP issue, I think it would be great if there was some form of official communication from Blizzard that acknowledges that this issue exists for players from multiple countries and it is being looked into.

Same issue from India…experiencing this unplayable lag for about 7-8 days now…
Please help…
the game is completely unplayable
It has been almost a month and the issue is still unchanged for me. Problems usually occur in the evening hours (8-12pm server time), especially on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but not limited to those days. The problem also occurs on a VPN connection to a server in Sydney. ISP confirmed that these issues are not on their end but most likely Blizzard-server related.
I understand that the OCE community is small and within that, players not from the OCE region but from other countries in Asia are even fewer but it would still be great to actually have someone from Blizzard acknowledge this.
Same issue, connecting from UK to US server
Same issue from EU to US region. For around 3 days I cannot really play. I log in, and in around 1minute (at best) I lag out. That beautiful type of lag in which chat works, but everything else doesn’t and will not disconnect me. I have to alt-f4 out of it.
Still an ongoing issue. effecting keys way worse for me now then ever before
Only 2 weeks for you guys? Sheesh, consider yourselves lucky. NA users going since pre patch of season 2 for input lag / latency issues. We all know its the servers. Hard to deny it but people will preach left and right its YOUR isp issue not blizzard.
If thats the case, why is wow the only game that has issues, why are we able to experience all these issues on these servers, but once we on persay ascension no issues, eso no issues, LoL no issues, D4 no issues, new world no issues. See a pattern here?
