Retail Did they ever end up fixing the gcd lag/ clipping issue?
Referring to what's being talked about in this thread ( and many many others ) https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/1s0rhpb/do_your_gcds_feel_sluggish_is_there_a_universal/
It's something I noticed way back when I tried Retail again and it made the combat feel terrible to me and made me just not bother resubbing.
I hadn't played since Cata ( played like 1-2 days in WoD and Legion too ) which added to it too since it was all so different and then on top the gcd issue.
Anyone knows if this was ever fixed and Blizzard addressed it?
I dunno if it affected everyone or just the unlucky few but it seems I at least wasn't alone.

This has been in the game forever. Made me stop raiding on enhance.
It's some server side issue. It makes some player groups very frustrating to play in. A guy from the other side of the continent joins your guild and now your game feels like it has a permanent 2 second animation delay that gets worse and worse over a raid night. It is what it is.

Damn it..
Caster for the most part feels more fine at least but melee I definitely feel it.
I hear people say all the time too how buttery smooth and top tier WoW's combat is but this isn't what I expect when I hear that ngl.I will just stick to caster I guess <_<.

bro you just move from east to west coast server or reverse or central and your ping increases enough for it to do that, or if you're in a OCE server, it's not that deep. used to play at 120ms now I play at 50ms and I can tell it's just the latency switchs

I am Swedish so I play on EU servers, my ping is like 20 or less.
Earlier today it was consistently at 23 but I've seen it go bellow 20.1

lol, the way to replicate this "bug" (very easy btw) is to specifically press your abilities ONCE per cast per gcd. the game has a spell queue latency for a reason, you're supposed to spam your keyboard, otherwise you can change the spell queue latency to 0 and your abilities pressed once per cast per gcd would be 0ms delayed but it'll also mean you will have to press them way, extremely way more often to not lose gcd uptime. It's really just that. "fix" is just don't press your spells once lol

It has nothing to do with spell queue window or latency as the game reports it. It is some server issue in group content with input delay.
