Blizzards design to remove weak internet users

when you doing campaign you come to kirin tor quest that ask you to shoot cannon. after this it leads to tuskar and future campaign quest. sadly if you dont got good internet then you can find this quest failing to act right. you miss hitting dragons after hours of trying. i removed all mods. reduced all graphics possible and still dragons never get hit. as a matter of fact i once counted to five after pushing button before i saw it fire. clearly the dragon is long gone by then.

it appears this is design of game now. if you got poor internet you now blocked from future progress. removing weak internet players from raid and end game content is a new low for blizzard. i left game for 8 years and already regret return. i left because of constant nerf of druids which yet again blizzard has done by taking away bird form. was main advantage to being a druid since you can grab herb and fly away. all i can say is good luck. off to look around for another company to support.

I’m sorry… did you just blame Blizzard for your lack of decent internet access?

nice troll reply. not everyone lives in a place where good internet is. hughes net is 5 generation service but is satelite. many in forums point out azure area lag and they got good internet. no this quest is designed for one puprose.

Yeah, getting rid of paying customers is something all businesses try their best to do. :roll_eyes:

Sounds like a skill issue.

I mean, do you expect Blizzard to design a game around your back-country dial-up?

Unfortunately, there’s nothing Blizzard, nor really anyone else can do outside of lawmakers.

Companies like HughesNet are infamous for basically being scams: You’re in a rural area, nowhere near a city or anything of the sort. Your only option is satellite which is both very unreliable and very slow.

Since there’s no business big companies are not in any hurry to set up networks in the middle of nowhere. You’re stuck getting price gouged and having subpar internet which can be disabled as soon as it starts raining a bit.

I’m sorry for your situation, OP, but if that’s your living situation there’s literally nothing that can be done.

again more trolling. if it not designed for lessor internet then why allow access at all? block access then. no they gladly take the money for subscription and expansion but design it so many can not use it after that.

But instead your theory on Blizzard making this quest to force you bad internet users to quit is not a troll post?

Tip: the dragons fly in a deterministic way, so if you aim at where the dragon is going to be in [your lag] seconds, you will be better off. So if your lag is 2/3 seconds, shoot where you think the dragon will fly to in 2.5 seconds.

Also, it may be a problem with your mouse and not your connection.

Gonna say this cause i know op will say im talkin crap.

I have up broadband and its up to i think 6Mbps. Living outside a small town. We don’t have fiber nothing good here. AT&T only via broadband. It takes me over a day just to download a ps4/ps5 game. WoW for a full download a few days.

I had 0 issues with said quest he is complaining about having to do with slow internet.

…I don’t know how you got any sign of trolling from my post.

I’m sorry for your frustration but I assure you, you’ll have the same issue in every online game with the setup you’re forced to use. WoW’s subscription package does not magically upgrade your HughesNet internet, nor do they have any means to do so.

If that’s enough to make you quit WoW, then best of luck in whatever you play next!

how can blizz tell what your internet is before you even start playing? you signed up for the monthly sub. its a client side issue. and more frankly a skill issue on your part.

so if quest blocks progress then it not designed to effect low internet use. your comments so far do not prove that theory. forums are filled with players saying they can not do much in azure area already. locking future campaign to this higher speed internet quest does prove my theory.

your refusal to aim ahead is astounding.

So, pray tell, how does one go about designing a quest for low internet users that won’t affect those with good internet adversely? Like wise, I don’t think Blizzard (or any game company) has a bunch of developers that sit around and say “Gee, lets design a quest that completely screws people on dial up internet because that would be great for the giggles and drive them away from the game!” Do you even read what you write? do you have any logical concept of how insane what you are saying is? Like seriously?

actually that was tried. i found one spot that dragon flies on its rotation and sat for 10 minutes shooting exact same spot. no hit. dropping every setting and looking at a 8 bit model of them did not change results. that is not the point. the design of a quest that blocks access is.

Better find an offline game you can sink some time into cause you aren’t gonna be able to play any online games with whatever hand crank connection you seem to be working with.

Blaming Blizzard for your own situation is stupid and childish though.
