Pre-Patch Event Suggestion - Make all (3) bosses up same time!

Hey all,

As I’m sure many of you are aware, At this time there is only (1) event up at a time which rotates between the (3) different areas each hour.

As a result of this, Several shards I have been in - Especially for the Lich King in Dragonblight, It can become a real lag fest for everyone.

This issue had also happened with the Hearthstone event before Blizzard made all of the zones up at same time for it. So, I’m suggesting Blizzard do the same for the pre-patch to help ease up on the lag for everyone.

When it was done in the Hearthstone event, I noticed that the lag went away majorly and getting the bosses done was a whole lot easier!

Just a thought I had that would help everyone in the long run! :smiley:

In case they split everyone in 3 different zones, can’t also the progress for boss last longer, individual events take longer to finish and last bosses take a lot longer to kill, resulting in less residual memories for people participating?

This should happen. Causes a whole lot less problems, especially when having large groups of people grouped together.

Maybe.

It’s already getting to the point where it’s difficult to get the second boss started in a zone. Splitting it three ways would probably make the first one very questionable in off peek hours.

No thanks - I’ve already gotten sharded into a half-empty zone where stuff took forever to complete and it felt like a slog.

They just need to do a better job of sharding and scaling at the extremes.

When there are already a lot of players, spin up another shard and send anyone porting to the new shard.

Scale the mobs down when few are in zone and cap the scaling when the zone is full.

I think this is fine but i think we need to address the real root problem here…the potatos people are trying to run WoW on in 2024.

Im convinced some people rigged toasters and slapped on a phone screen to run it.

Let’s be honest, if the event was up in all 3 zones, no one would do the Dragonblight zone. Searing Gorge and Dustwallow Marsh are vastly better.

Exactly the point I’ve made:

Whats wrong with dragonblight friend?

The events take way longer to complete compared to the other two zones. You can summon the end boss in Searing Gorge and Dustwallow Marsh 4 times in an hour, but Dragonblight you’ll likely get 2 cycles and then it is XX:45 so people go and AFK in the next zone. It seems most people only do Dragonblight for the quest then leave.

The ‘By Fire, Be purged’ mini event can go die in a fire, along with freeing crusaders and saving murlocs.
