Why IS this GAME so LAGGY?

Everyone home. If wow is not at the 6 million or so mark. I will be very surprised. Local stores sold out of game cards last month. 4 Months ago they could even give away. Now everyone home and cable company limiting accesses to net now.

I’m usually fine out in the world but whenever I join a dungeon/raid/battleground, my world latency goes up to 400-500 and it gets VERY laggy. When I leave, it goes down and the lag stops. What gives?

Certainly part of it… but in the past few months, including before all the trouble, the game has generally been more laggy than I have been accustomed to in my 15 years with it.

Literally, the current game’s systems and countless layers of RNG are whats bogging down the system. Hah ironic.

Oh. never noticed it myself. I have a thing my friend got me. It reduce all my lag down. Not sure what it does. But all my lag problems went away. nighthawk s8000 by net gear.

I don’t believe this is right. Even if both are O(N), big O is very much “eyeballing” it. So 123n+123423 and (1/2)n big O’s are technically both O(n), though the first is obviously much worse.

But I’m not convinced they are both O(n) since snap shotting means you check the DoT only once, O(1), while the current system checks every tick, O(n), So really the change to checking the tick every time went from O(1) to O(n) which is drastically worse. I think the addition of so many random procs just compounds the change to O(n) even more since instead of say doing 2+2 n times, you instead do 2+(3+44)+24 n times.
