You’re right tho, the blizzard polish that use to make the a renown game developer has been gone for the last two expansions. The game is legit filled with a lot of tiny bugs and broken things here and there. You can’t click on someone’s frame without the options disappearing 7 times. My whisper chats will randomly merge with all of my ither chat boxes sometimes like one big overlay, making everything unreadable and unclickable. I randomly disconnect for no reason at all sometimes, i could go on.

Simple fix for that, just block me.
Ok ok, can I have your gold though, since you’re whining… I mean… leaving and all.
I talked to friends that play and no one i know is experiencing the stutter. Hmm.
They had no choice but to cut and run on the last expansion. SL nearly killed WoW. They will never admit that they pulled a WoD but they did. Legion was a solid 7/10 at launch and ended up as 8/10 when they fixed the AP grind.
I would put DF as a 6/10 right now. There is too many bugs and the crafting system is a huge miss.

The primary issue with WoW is that, under the surface, the structure of the game remains the same more or less as it was when they introduced multi-threading code insofar as the game requiring a single thread to run much of the client experience.
Managing threads in applications like online games can be complex. Some implementations allow for more work to be offloaded to multiple threads, allowing multiple CPU cores to do the work. In games designed like WoW you need more work in the main thread to make it function as expected, which means you have more sensitivity to the power of an individual core.
Modern processors allow cores to boost when possible, but the other parts of the processor also matter: The transport fabric and bus, the cache layers, instruction sets, processing models, etc…
So even if you have 2 chips with roughly the same core count and speed 2 generations apart, you could have very different outcomes when it comes to single-core performance, and with more things like cache providing bottlenecks with faster GPUs, you’re less likely to see CPU bottlenecking always producing a constant max on a single core thread.
Basically, this means that even though people think of WoW as an old game that requires low-end “potato” hardware the truth is that WoW’s demands on your hardware are relatively extreme and for expacs, when they tend to introduce new graphical processing models and game management systems, development on new chips can leave people with decent hardware from the past further behind than other games would because of the dependency on single-threaded performance.
And this is what generates a lot of the stutter we’re experiencing, because the stutter is the hardware not keeping up with the demands of the game’s multi-threaded timing model.
I don’t want to only blame it on this, because most parts of Dragonflight feel buggy and only partially thought out to me… there’s more here where it comes down to probably sub-optimal optimization because, frankly, I think WoW is a 2nd tier project for Blizzard now… the lack of new systems in this expac is somewhat telling to me, and the lack of quality in the existing systems is also telling. Smells of Maintenance Mode and “put our alternate devs on it” type of stuff. But in the past when I’ve faced what we’re all experiencing, a higher end, newer processer seemed to fix it because of that single-threaded dependency.

How can people really be this stupid?
I really don’t understand.
There’s a blue post talking about working on a fix.
“It may be your machine.”
What a joke 
You don’t have any friends that play.

I was in the Beta. I thought releasing it in March 2023 was pushing it. Was shocked when they announced its release for last Autumn.

I do think it’s the best xpac since MoP. I think the problem is players dont know what they want and at the same time they take the video game way too seriously.
Well, since both I and Siranvil above you already explained it (among others), I’m gonna say: try again.
Or don’t.
You selectively picking and choosing who to respond to because you have no legitimate rebuttal is comical, but it’s ultimately only hurting you in the long run.
Reasonable emotional-intelligence is a good quality to have, and one expected to be found in adults. When you finally develop your own, maybe you will finally find some peace, instead of lashing out at everyone who tells you something you don’t want to hear.
I’m not holding my breath, though.
Buh bye I guess…
I’m not seeing this. Or at least I don’t think I do. Once in a great while I’ll see a small flicker or delay but that’s maybe once every few hours, if that.
Are you sure it’s not on your end? Maybe your internet connection? There has to be some reason why some see it and some don’t.
It’s hurting me? Really?
LOL

It’s not an airport. No need to announce your departure.

Ok, I’ll try.

Blizz know releasing it in March would lose them China sales.

Lol. Did they really sell DF in China? I hope they were refunded. I doubt it.
