For many players, playing World of Warcraft is almost impossible. Massive lags diminish the enjoyment of the game – but Blizzard cannot find the error.
The World of Warcraft is currently plagued by some issues, which has not changed in all aspects even after Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance. Many players complain about massive lags in the official forums and on Reddit, meaning delays that occur before their actions are executed in the game.
This is Blizzard’s stance: According to the developers’ Twitter account (WarcraftDevs), they are still working to identify the source of the lags.
Once they have identified it, the developers will immediately work on a fix. This implies that Blizzard has not yet determined the cause of the lags.
Where do the lags occur? Most players report lags and delays primarily in places where many players gather. For example, in the capital Boralus, at current world bosses, or also during faction incursions.
Sometimes there are delays of several seconds before all actions from the last seconds happen simultaneously. This would also be the case if hardly any other players are visible in the vicinity.
Lags are worse since Patch 8.1: Even before the current Patch 8.1, some players repeatedly complained about lags, which mainly occurred in “non-war mode” areas.
Interestingly, not all players or all servers are equally affected by the lags. Many players have no issues at all, and even on the same server, players report different experiences.
Are you currently also struggling with massive lags in World of Warcraft? Or is the MMORPG running smoothly and without problems for you?
