[Main thread] Castle Nathria Lag

Lost another night to unplayable lag, whole raid on Proudmoore.

Proudmoore Server - 7pm PST - Experiencing lag on a decent amount of our raid nights. (Tues, Wed, Thurs)

Not sure if this is allowed but here is a twitch.tv VOD highlighting an example of our lag in Castle Nathria. The Title of the VOD states date and time information.

I dealt with this back in 8.3, started as soon as we killed carapace and landed ourselves in the room where we fight Nzoth. I’m sure I would be dealing with this right now if I was still raiding consistently. I started averaging 30-40% packet loss for actual months with blizzard services. It would spike as some of you are seeing to 100% often. Interesting enough I was able to push nearly 4k IO at the same time I just had to figure out how to deal with 6+ second delays while fighting Nzoth. Blizzard 100% ignored the issue and told me it was my ISPs issue and of course my ISP had no idea why I had trouble maintaining a reliable connection to blizzard services. Hate to be the bearer of bad news but this thread will go nowhere and get nothing accomplished. Enjoy your server lag!

Proudmoore Server, 5:30PST-7:00PST or so on 2/11/2021. There were extremely long delays and lag with players bouncing around the screen, which was experienced by the entire group. I did not experience any lag outside of the raid. We were clearing the trash for Hungering Destroyer during this time. We had to take an extended break before the game was playable.

We’ve consistently experienced this issue on Tuesdays and Thursdays for over a month. It has occurred both in-combat and out of combat, on each boss, and on trash. Our raid times are 5:30-830PST.

I’m regularly having bouts of burst lag affecting my gameplay while inside dungeons and Castle Nathria, just like y’all. I worked with a GM and it was suggested I collect some data in the thread below, because it looks like there could potentially be a routing issue with some of the Blizzard servers.

If y’all want to try these steps and post the results here, maybe it’ll also help grease the wheels?

Entire guild (and server we found out) all DC’d in Nathria at 8:24 pm EST, when reconnected we were all back in our covenants and not at stone generals which we were in the middle of fighting. Why can’t Tuesday go smoothly?

Now we have a full log in servers. . .

Damn if we aren’t lagging on Tuesday raid night we are dcing. Why bothering playing unless it’s the weekend I guess

Reporting back this week again. It’s a complete mess. We couldn’t down heroic sludgefist. People were warping all over the place. Couldn’t do any of the mechanics. We called it 45 minutes into the raid. Started around 9:20 PM EST

9:43 PM EST mythic Shriek, lag happening with 2 second delay of all spells that are instant w/o any MS issues.

Must be Tuesday again. Nothing constructive to say anymore, same lag issues in CN for near 2 months, and nothing from Blizz for over a month, time to just unsub.

Can we fix this PLEASE? It’s been over a month where over half of our raid time is dedicated to trying to deal with intolerable lag to the point where a farm boss is un-killable.

Unsubbing - I guess money is the only way to get through to J. Allen Brack and Activision. NO reason to call this Blizzard anymore.

We’re only having it mostly only in combat on Wyrmrest Accord. But it’s such a massive problem the past few weeks every tuesday that it’s hindering progression raid.

We cannot pull bosses on wyrmrest accord because the lag is too big.

Firetree/Dark’Tharon server cluster lagging again, started at 8pmest, lag started immediately at the beggining of the night.

Heroic Shriekwing/Slude/Generals/Sire

Mythic Shriek/Huntsman

3 quarters of the group get lag randomly once boss is pulled.

Its been over a month since we had this issue.
Blizzard have no interest in improving or even providing basic game quality while charging you money every month.
Absolute disgrace.

Is this going to be fixed any time soon? Why do we pay a subscription fee for lag every Tuesday?

entire raid just disconnected. AGAIN.
