Do you even understand what is actually happening from this post?
“This thread is for players who are getting a latency increase WITH the lag we’ve been investigating in this thread”
If they are having issues with latency, they can start a new forum post, latency is generally local side/ISP issues.
“We’re pretty sure this isn’t the only issue but we still want to investigate it.”
Investigating still after 6 months? Pretty sure if your access engineers have yet to figure out what the issue is at this stage than maybe they should have been fired instead of all the other people from the layoff.
“We’ve already done some other changes and added telemetry into the game client files to make gathering data for this earlier, they just haven’t fully resolved it yet.”
This isn’t a local side issue that you can “retrieve data” for.
- I’ve mentioned long ago that this is to do with the sharding tech getting back end congestion on server side, as soon as there is an influx in people on a shard, whether by using the LFG or whatever than it starts lagging, also during peak time.
Latency won’t show on shard side congestion as latency to the wow servers are completely fine and unaffected as you can clearly see by multiple people saying it’s only happening in the BFA areas, this means that all other zones are fine.
Let’s look at the difference between older zones and the newer BFA zones?
Ohh would you look at that, the only difference is the amount of people in the zone at one time. How shocking!
Either increase capacity for the shards on oceanic realms or add more shards to separate a mass flux of players to off-hand the load. Or does blizzard as a company not want to pay for more?
The only reason this has yet to be fixed is because of greed, stop wasting peoples time to just make it look like “you are looking into it”. The only way the access engineers wouldn’t know what’s causing it is if you are either employing apes or people who have never done any form of CCNA+ training, both of which are 99% unlikely.
