Blizzard; I am begging you. Please play test your content. I am not sure if the people in PTR are just playing and not reporting or you are not listening. But the event is a complete mess.
-The Time Rifts are laggy.
-Way too many people are in the rifts at a time. Tons of spell effects. It’s impossible to move or play correctly.
-The non elite mobs die so fast you can’t get to them to tag fast enough.
-The elite boss mobs also have a small health pool.
-The encounter with Varian; everyone crowds the rocket. Only one person can use at a time. Its hard to click on. Flight animation is slow. By the time you get to the other side with the lag Varian is dead.
-Please use phasing or make it a que.
The event has potential (as a lot of things) but what was released is not ready at all.
Thanks

Yes, the event is absolutely atrocious. Way too many people at a given time, another massive oversight. This isn’t some new problem, any mass open world content they introduce comes bundled with this mess. Its getting old

I literally don’t understand how stuff like this happens. This game is 18 years old. Do they not know anything at all about their own playerbase by now to know how this is going to go down live? Much like the way they announced Diablo Immortal at BlizzCon years ago… this is one of those things where I sit down and think “surely they saw this coming… how could they not?”.
Unless you told me this is actually supposed to spawn instances on the fly based on how many people are trying to get in to split people into different instances of the same content so you have an appropriate number of people to properly pace what’s in there, and it’s just not because it’s broken in that way, or it’s supposed to be 1 instance for everybody and it’s supposed to scale things appropriately in there and it isn’t because it’s bugged, it doesn’t make sense.

Try fighting the lich king with this lag…

Do not use the magnetic thing…it’ll slow you permanently, and it’s impossible to reach the reward at the end. It also sticks to you when you zone out, so you have to kill yourself somehow to remove the debuff.
finally a use for old dalaran portal i guess
“Transfer aborted: instance is full.”
Can’t even do part 2 of the rift. Please put separate instances/queues so that more than 5 people can play the game.

Well. Now there’s a lot fewer people doing time rifts. …Too few. My shard had maybe 15 people and really struggled with tasks.
Before there were 100’s of people, now there’s barely any. Anyone else having this sudden change?
Think we need a happy-medium lol please.

Don’t worry, in two or three weeks, no one will be doing this at all because everyone will either be sick of it or will have everything they want and see no need to do it anymore. Just like Researchers Under Fire! (on my server, anyway).
In all seriousness, yes, there are a lot of issues. I have died a couple of times on the end boss fights simply because of lag, it’s nuts right now.

You want to stop the massive lag situation? Stop making and joining 40-man raid groups for what is suppose to be laissez faire open world content. That is one of the biggest contributing factors for shards are getting overloaded.
I have never completed a rift with a raid group. Ever. The most I’ve ever done is a 5 man group in one rift. I still have insane lag.
I haven’t personally, but I’m also really not doing the rifts at this point. It’s just such an awful experience every single time I try, and I essentially get nothing out of them. It’s not worth it.
So continue to be an absolute joke and unplayable. Does anyone know if Blizz will fix things soon?
Any compensation for the hours of attempts but no loot/completes on last boss??
Kind of mad about this so would love answers
Just did a time rift on my DK and had the Healer trinket drop at the end. Anyone know if this is a bug or does the rifts sometimes drop unusable items?
