Feedback Wanted: Further Adjustments to Layer Behavior in Stranglethorn Vale - 23 February, 2024

URGENT URGENT URGENT!!!

Hello Blizzard, the Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag has been unbearable at the weekend!!

This must be improved!!!

It is very laggy and hard to do anything as a melee with people tping all over the place.

This isn’t how you submit bug reports. This was feedback, as per the title of the thread.

Class balance changes on live when?

When will Demon Hunters get nerfed?

When will massively under performing specs get buffed?

When will move MMR get injected into PvP?

Why has there been no balance changes for months, radio silence from the dev and community team despite the pvp community screaming about this issue, which is evident from one look at the participation.

Feedback like “It doesnt work” is not worth much. You need to type what is not working - how is that hard to understand?

Good:

  • The invisibility after ress is great, and the lag has somewhat vanished making it playable

Bad:
-Arathi Basin reputation tabard is locked behind a quest you cant pick up before level 60, why do we have to wait half a year to be able to get it? Whats the point with Lumber if you cant get the rewards. (Its just a 5 cap AB quest, cant it be changed to level 40?)
-Roaming ghosts is not fun, specially since the boss fighting is “meta”. The boss should either give less blood, incentivising roaming jungle PvP

I was in a group of 4 in Booty Bay at 1:12 AM on Lone Wolf. Suddenly insane lag (Gurubashi Arena), totally unplayable with people warping and my rogue abilities having 5-1o sec lag.

Bro… all you guys at @blizz have to do, it logg in and play a few events… and you would know real fast what wrong LOL. I don’t get paid to fix this crap.

I greatly enjoy the STV event and think it’s a good concept, when it works like it should obviously, with no layering issues and stability.

You do realize SOD was made to be an experiment? This event is an experiment. If you really can’t stand doing this event without scalping your own skull, then why subject yourself to it? And if you want them to create better events why not provide constructive feedback or suggestions?

Your current comment provides nothing that is of use to the developers.

M8, please. Get out the milti billion dollar companies azz.

Experiment… like u dont need 20 years of WoW experience (Which they have) to know if you put 10k players on a map that its going to lag. Its the reason they will never make an AQ event again, servers are on fire.

Ppl qquing about layers and that the world feels dead. Amazing, im sure we all hate uncontested resources, mobs and less ganking. Not to mention a horrible event that does not lag.

A few lazy streamers dont have content so they complain that the world feels dead. Blizzard insta removes a bunch of layers and again kills this event.

You’re the one that continuous to play this game while my impression is that you don’t enjoy it.

Are you a part of the company and handle budgets / resources? The developers is not the people that makes those decisions. They might be trying their best to balance these layers and server with the limited resources that they are provided by the company.

Wow is not remotely close to as it was 20 years ago, different technologies, players size, and circumstances, and it faced different challenges than the ones that exists today.

Not only streamers gave this feedback, a lot of the players stated the same.

oki white knight boi…

  • Please describe the behavior or experience in as great a detail as possible.
    Just lag, I never had issues with layering and I’ve farmed 2 gold coins, I don’t know if it’s people who been jumping layers for some other reason, but I never had layer issues, before changes. After changes sometimes need to re-enter STV at the bridge to duskwood
  • Who was impacted by that behavior?
    1 on average teammates per event
  • Where were the players who were impacted located?
    Northern STV
  • What day and time (server time) did the issue occur?
    Lone Wolf EU at 15, 18 and 21 saturday 24th of February
  • What realm are you on?
    Lone Wolf babyy

Overall I think just revert it, it’s too laggy now to play / engage with the event rather have people spread out on multiple layers and if they think it’s “dead layer” then boo hoo and try again next time

Has this change also been pushed to retail WoW? Because in Retail I noticed lately, that I get phased upon inviting someone into my group. E.g. I’m creating a group to kill a rare that is spawned in front of me and upon inviting a player I get phased and the rare disappears. Same thing sometimes happens just upon creating a group, without even anyone joining. As I said, that’s in retail and not in SoD, just wondering if the stuff implemented in SoD are also live in retail.

Playing an MMORPG without being able to play with my friends - ruining yet another STV. GG…

Group of 5, formed at 11:25ish on Feb 25th on Lone Wolf EU. Four people in the same layer, I was not able to get in.

Any compensation for not being able to play an MMORPG with friends?

    Grouping up in westfall everyone at same layer run/swim in together we get different layers but after a while get on the same run to our starting spot buff up 1-2 players get instant layerd as the event starts.
  • Who was impacted by that behavior?
    Me and my group members different ppl every time
  • Where were the players who were impacted located?
    standing in middle of STV
  • What day and time (server time) did the issue occur?
    saturday 18, 21 sunday 12

    Lone wolf EU

Never thought i would say this but i miss ashenvale pvp event at least it worked.
Lagg and layering is killing the STV event. Even if you would be on a dead layer as a group you could grind mobs fairly quick and atlest get some coins but now its we try to do the event and just leave if it wont work.

What a horrible solution. Move the whole party to a layer that isn’t full instead maybe?

Just did another event with 2-3s lag and our healer on a different layer. We met up at 11:30, a whole half hour before the event started.

This is completely unacceptable.

I would prefer less people on a layer than all this lag.
And grp up like 30min before the event ONLY to be afk until the event starts, jus so you dont get random layers, actually just shows how incompetent you guys are. Im sorry for being harsh, but thats the cold truth

Guess what? New STV event - same problem!

Lone Wolf EU, formed at 14:40 a group of 5 on Feb 25th. Still waiting on refund.

Definitelly UNACCEPTABLE, If the game was free, absolutelly none of people would be mad, we´re paying MONTHLY that´s definitelly so bad! Game was never bad, but it´s the worst game experience, STV event has great idea, but absolutelly unplayable. Thanks Blizz…
