World PvP - Massive Lag

Will they shout randomly in your song to match your typing?

Well judging by how you usually formulate your arguments… it’ll be as good as “Friday” by Rebecca Black.

Check add ons plugins, I had Recount counting other players dps and damage that weren’t in group. When in a huge melee like this it would lag me out so much I could barely walk forward because recount was tallying the damage for every player in the area.

45

Perhaps there’s a way to force only 20 people in a raid to be in the same shard as each other. Or just cut down the graphics? I love to wpvp but once it gets around 40v40 in a small area, it becomes an absolute drag. The next time an opportunity to get into a massive lag fest comes up, I’m likely to remember waiting 5-10 seconds for my each ability to cast. I really thought it was my computer being a “potato” but it’s definitely above that grade. Hearing that other people have nicer computers with the same issues is relieving yet frustrating at the same time.

46

Nothing to do with your computer as much as it is serverside issues, namely client side changes they have done over the years.

47

Definitely not the main cause of the server “lag” / performance issues. When I was in a 40 vs 40 Epic BG last night both sides clashed, and all were lagging in the Epic BG (it was AV).

That is an instance PvP environment. Not acceptable imo. If the servers can’t handle 40 vs 40 in a instanced environment then we need to only allow 30 vs 30, or 20 vs 20 imo.

48

Was anyone else complaining of lag? Or just you?

49

Look, when I PvP I want to have the game work. I’ve been 2400 in BFA, and that was in 10 vs 10 RBGs. If the game had 40 vs 40 RBGs this conversation would be a lot more vocal.

This topic has derailed quite a bit. To help it get back on track please feel free to post if you all have experienced lag with the following information to help the community managers, quality assurance team, and developers:

  • Character Name:
  • Server:
  • Location:
  • Timestamp (Day / Time):

Here’s to hoping for a better World of Warcraft experience in the future. Cheers team.

A 40 man raid formed up from many different servers to rid the port of alliance. The lag was so bad that i actually disconnected at one point. I will say the connection did seem slightly better than instances in the past but it was still more than hindering. I wish sharding didn’t exist so the responsibility was on the guilds that occupy the realm being attacked to protect themselves. Allowing massive cross-server groups to form up hurts guilds that want to form a tight nit group of players to handle situations like this. Not only does it hinder the development of a “squad” by removing the opportunity to act, summoning dozens of players out of thin air is unrealistic and severely subtracts from the immersion of the experience. It also takes away the chance for any good, clean fight without immense lag. When I win a fight, I want it to be because I won a fight, not because we doubled their numbers.

I went to start some assault quests and I would have formed up or joined a raid if the amount of players there wasn’t causing lag that made even a 1v1 unplayable. Lag FTL. I suppose they’re “winning” today. Blizz, please cut down the graphics or something. This is ridiculous. It won’t stop me from playing but it will stop me from wPvPing. Great thread and format. Props.

It took several seconds to open flight masters or do anything else that interacted with the database on this character a few hours ago early in this afternoon’s assault. This was in Stormsong Valley, but applied even far from any PVP.
