all of a sudden tonight everyone in raid is getting a lag spike when they use abilities that are not on the gcd, and then random spots otherwise like the second group soak on M mugzee
Our guild had same issue, we had to call it early due to it was nearly impossible to do mythic stix with the full raid lagging. Yes all of us at once. also the raid keeps trying to share a quest we already have
we finished raid night, but it was garbage and annoying as hell. You get a lag spike as you hit the healing check, or I get a lag spike as I’m bubbling to pop bombs and when you have like a 1 second window, and you freeze for 2, it just screws everything up. I didnt notice if it was timed around the quest spam, but that could very well be
Wanted to add to this, we are on Mythic Gallywix right now and a major 1-2second lag spike is happening right at Giga Blast casts. It also seems like it has been every odd cast, particularly the third cast of Giga Blast.
I would assume this goes to all difficulties, Mythic it just seems very obvious since Gallywix starts in his mech.
The multi dollar company with the low paid staff just can’t stop failing. Poopcraft has nothing left .
It’s Divine Shield. Very consistent tonight every time I would Divine Shield to pop mines on Mug’zee the whole raid would lag out. Other groups with Paladins complaining of the same thing.
I have a few clips of it.
I was the only paladin in the group, and there where plenty of times it happened without Divine shields, though now thinking about it, I do feel it was one of the causes
I never noticed it before, but did crossing the square grates that extend from the Gallywix platform always try sharing a quest? I don’t know if that is the cause but it did seem odd for constantly share a quest. Felt kind of like a trigger didn’t stop trying to share whatever the quest was.
Please fix this, mythic raid was HELL!
seems like it might be a few weird things all together. I got a lag anytime I hit something off the gcd - human racial on the first gold knuckles did it, and another player complained about ibf causing a lag spike on his dk. but there were other times we dont know of anything specific causing it like when the second rocket went out but honestly, an off-gcd spell is probably used by someone there.
This lag is caused by both Divine Shield and Blessing of Protection. You will notice using either of these on all 3 paladin specs in the raid currently will cause everyone’s game to lock up for a couple seconds. If I were to guess there is something behind the scenes being spam reapplied thus flooding the combat log and causing the game to freeze up. This has happened multiple times with paladin on various fronts. DF in Vault this would happen with devotion aura being reapplied repeatedly to the entire raid when you pressed Aura Mastery on Holy. Happened with Herald of the Sun in Nerubar Palace and early this tier when you would have ~10,000 combat events in the span of 10 seconds.
