Please Layer the AQ Event on "High Pop Realms"

They fixed that issue specifically during the PTR test.

Anyway they already confirmed that the system will automatically port people out of Silithus when it’s “full.” No layering necessary.

Ahhhh that’s good to hear!

I would %1000 prefer no layers…

…but I also don’t want to be stuck at negative latency/frames for a week while they figure their ish out.

I’m baffled how anyone thinks this is a good solution, “We won’t layer it so you can see the event lag free, we’re going to teleport you out so you can’t see this event at all!”

They did this during vanilla too.

When AQ first opened in 2006, we had GMs manually teleporting people out of the zone to allow the event to progress. Later, designers built automatic systems to teleport players out. Today, we have automatic teleports that perform very well, and we use them to control the zone so that it caps at a number of players that we think is still playable. Silithus will definitely be laggy, but we’d rather teleport players out than have it crash.

In 2006 they didn’t have the technology to allow everyone to participate in the event, in 2020 they do. This is how we ended up with a system to simulate lag, which is silly no one likes batching, there is no reason for it.

its not worth suggesting to blizzard how to handle ahn quiraj. its going to be completely unplayable, guaranteed. blizzard is behind on their $6.75 monthly payment to valueserversforless net and were all crossing our fingers that they remember to pay the bill.
