I logged into YouTube today to see what the classic community had in store for me. Delightfully, I see a dude who figured out solo DM farm. Good for you man.
So I start watching, and immediately notice not this player’s ingenuity and skill, but just how sad of a state this game is in
Let me break down exactly how spell batching or whatever they call this is complete garbage
Watch this pull
Look how long the mobs lag before they turn to attack. The serpent literally ran through the agro range AND the mob, attacks the caster, THEN STARTS RETURNING before the group turns to attack
Again, look how long it takes for the dogs to drop agro after he feigns
To any trained eye this looks flat out JANKY, like the worst private server lag you could imagine.
It gets worse. Just watch this mob clip through the ground like this is Nostalrius in alpha.
Yikes.
I honestly don’t even wanna finish this video now. This feels like just watching another private server guide
You can report bugs without endlessly complaining about everything. If you don’t enjoy the current state of the game, then don’t play. There have been plenty of times over the last 14 years I’ve been unhappy with how things are in the game. Instead of crying about it on the forums (which literally accomplishes nothing) I simply stopped playing until things improved.
I don’t see any exploiting here this is clever use of game mechanics. Good for him.
What I did see, was just how sad feign death and combat in general is.
You ever ran by a mob while mounted? Notice how they wait till after you pass them before they attack you from behind? That’s because the game is broken.
The mob should engage you the second you touch their agro range, not wait till you’re on top of them, and passing them.
There’s this almost full second of lag baked into the core of every mechanic, which is breaking everything from basic class abilities to PVP in general
This post has literally nothing to do with being able or not able to solo DM North
Well even with the things not working precisely. Even vanish sometimes fails because a mob will hit you or aggro right back right when you vanish. I just feel these things were happening even in vanilla.
It’s funny as a druid you can bear stun, shift out, and start casting a heal… then get a pushback hit from the stunned mob. It is completely screwed up.
We don’t get any feedback from blizz in the bug report forum, nor does the general population ever really check the bug report forum.
Awareness needs to be brought to this issue, not bug reports. There’s a Feign Death thread approaching 700 posts with blue replies, and that video in the OP is the result of all of that “fixing” they’ve done.
It’s spell batching itself, or artificial lag, or whatever you wanna call it. It’s not a “bug”. It’s a debate.
And since blizzard only responds to uproar, we need uproar at this point
This issue has ceased to be technical, it’s now political.
Pets are actually a perfect microcasm for the issues going on here. Pets suffer from the same artificial lag that the server does. So when they’re both together, you see how dramatic the issue really is.
Notice how long the delay was on recalling his put during the pull.
Artificial lag getting artificially lagged
You can pull up any video from 2004-2005 and see that’s simply a lie. Please try harder
