Uhm. The first video is the exact definiton of a “real game situation”. Ebbn and his guild were PVPing in Gurubashi, Alliance attacked UC, Horde responded
That’s pretty much as basic as large-scale “world PVP” situations get

Blizzard also didn’t release enough servers initially and had to continue adding more. Hopefully you can see how this was an initial problem that had a lot of cause and effect to this point. The main point here is we need upgraded servers to keep WoW classic healthy and simply playable. P2 is nearly here, but everyone should know what will be going down with AQ.

yes, his guild is 1000 and 1000 more responded.
GTFO.
This is an arranged event on stream, that never ever happens.

Lights hope didn’t have batching.
Classic has batching.
As long as there is batching and the server tick rate so low, large group lag will happen. There literally isn’t anything they can do with how they are already artificially screwing up the servers.
Also, people need to see that gameplay was better without batching. People keep saying no changes, but lights hope was really good!

agreed, batching sucks
If that’s what’s causing the lag, I wonder if Blizzard can temporarily boost the server tick rate when the server detects combat involving a large number of players.
Yes, it did. It had actual batching because it was running the 1.12 client
It was absolutely a possibility for 2 mages to sheep eachother or the like on LH.
Regardless, this level of delay is on a completely different planet from batching

I should correct my post, but I’m talking server side.
- These things never happen in a real game day.
- They spent days to arrange this, just so they attempt to crash the server
- Let’s assume by some magic force that this does occur in a real game situation
what would you rather?
a) Watch this magnificent sight and participate with some lag
b) Never get to see it, because everyone is teleported away in a different layer with normal amount of players
Excuse me but it’s A for me.

You can count right? Good.
So count. That was a max of two raids in the throne room and 2 responding, with possibly some horde in UC as well.
So maybe 4 raids, plus maybe 100 or so extra horde.
Where are you getting two thousand from???

They also said they would keep adding servers, if there was a demand, wich they did… and to be honest they were in my opinion fast about it as well…
Again we as players were given knowledge well in advance of what would happen… some choose to disregard this, and now choose to “whine”
These happen all the time. In brm, guilds fighting cause lag if more than 2 guilds are there.

Obviously. But it was still interacting with the 1.12 client AKA not running modern interfacing
Obviously server side is where the batching would take place. And yes, LH definitely had batching
Yeah, is this guy actually trying to say this is okay?
Okay even if it was 2000 players, that’s hardly, what? like 10% of the server? So what? that should be no problem at all to handle

Again, even the low pop servers would have this problem. A low pop server today is still around the same as a high pop server in Vanilla. None of the servers can handle large scale PvP.
Because it’s their servers. The post shows a Pserver w/ hundreds of people in an area and no lag (not even comparable to what we experience). Even with people AFK in Org its horrible to try to do anything.

And blizzard put up a big fat blue post, warning us about full servers and layers going away ?

You miss the point.
Even the lowest populated servers have issues. Do you see the problem now? There is no safe server to try larger scaled PvP.

Try it w/ 3 full raids on either side. I can assume your server has more then 6 total guilds that could fill this too. Atleast puggable if not.
We’re talking Large Scale. Atleast 100+ on either side.
