Whats with the lag?

There was not a lag issue in Alpha.

Also to note that we have tons of events going on in wow, which should have been planned out too many events while BETA is going on, too much at once, Been seeing this and watching

Beta is not early access, so what they said is correct.. it is flawed thinking.

It was more than a few players that were having problems. Most if not all couldn’t even login and or get past the 1st zone for several hours (Some even had the issue from the start of beta).

That isn’t a very productive way of testing something that isn’t considered a “stress test”. Stress tests are also always announced when it happen.

No koolaid, buddy of mine who doesn’t stream, doesn’t do YouTube, doesn’t do anything at all, and has only preordered the base edition got in on beta tues

another update?

Have been having an insane amount of lag yesterday and today. It varies anywhere from 5-30 seconds. Currently I have only gotten to Sun’s Reach Sanctum but the lag is so bad that I just can’t continue atm. Pls fix so we can help test…

Yet… the “new feature” isnt lagging. Core gameplay is in a specific location. Sarcasm was NOT needed.

Love the transparency in the updates. Thanks for keeping us posted.

have had no lag in the “opening scenario” but a bit of lag in the new zones after

Late last night the lag finally resolved and I was able to do the intro scenario. Today it was fine, but the lag has got much worse as the day has gone on and presumably more and more people log in. Bordering unplayable again.

Completely unplayable for me still. As others have said, 5-30 seconds of lag on any action other than movement (although rubberbanding some on movement too). I’m still in the opening scenario, which I’ve been in since the beta began. Can’t test anything, really. Housing works well with no lag in the ‘hood.

Update: Housing not working either now; “Instance not found” when trying to load into my house.

i uninstalled it things say they are dead but follow you all over the place attacking you quest items taking 2-4 minutes to loot and show up but over all the little i saw looked really kewl just wish it was more stable to actually see the full beta and not just the housing area or org or the new silver moon

looks like they’re restarting so /fingers crossed

Yep. Guess we just wait for it to come back up now.

Edit 1: Sever is up again.

Edit 2: Server lag still here.

servers up, world server down

OMG after the restart (around 3:30pm EST), it’s gotten SO much worse in Eversong Woods and Silvermoon City….

After the restart that took place yesterday, I actually found the lag was significantly improved on my end. Still not ideal (1-3 second delay on every action) but it moved into the realm of being playable for me.

Unfortunately after the restart from about an hour ago, the lag has returned to being unplayable, and I’m completely unable to log into any of my characters in IQD or Eversong. Hoping we can revert to the last build or find a better fix soon!

Edit: fixing typos.
