LAG in warmode in PvP

after the new patch i’ve been getting a lot of lag, mostly in the openworld, with warmode on. It’s really frustrating when a horde (with lower everything) kills you and the same way around. because the game said ‘‘World of Warcraft doesn’t respond’’ every 20th min…

I have a perfectly good computer it’s not that (I think). PLS responde if you can relate to this.

When something like 20+ vs 20+ is happening not in a WQ or a Main city area and without Assault in the zone - lag is very very minimal.

In contrast, when trying the similar numbers at Assault on a Saturday evening - it’s unplayable. Most of the time even in something like 10+ vs 10+.

Looks like all other players around and players joining/leaving shards for the same WQ and/or in the same area, even for other shards that are not your current, have a huge impact both on servers and match-making/sharding scripts. And that’s what probably causing it.

Like sometimes happens on World Boss WQs - sudden delays/lag when a lot of players loading in to your shard. But on these WQs it’s temporary and goes away relatively fast, while on something like an Assault it can go for a very long time. Probably because of a constant flow and shard-switching of a lot of players on top of usual “a lot of players in your shard are doing stuff”.

Really sad, because the better the area for good group/raid WPvP the worse it is for everybody in that area, and instead of massive PvP battles that were happening at the start of the expansion - 8.1 changed it all into “Tides of Lagggg”.

I agree, but blizz wanted to change WoW to make it ‘‘more WPVP friendly’’ and if the lagg continues, you’re just gonna end up in the same prob as WoD where everyone just was in their garrisons. this time ppl will just end up being in BG’s, Dungeons…
that’s why i made this post, i like the idea, but because (Of more than this too) lagg it’s just not that enjoyable.
I think at least

I only get unplayable lag on top of that Horde city pyramid. And I’m 3000 miles from the server. Weird. But still fun.

Jeez, makes me remember old times though, a few PCs ago, like Stormwind lag just from running in, freezing up under old Dalaran, the good ol days!

Its a very big problem! This is either a problem with the Blizzard servers or the game engine. Just look and like WPvP 40x40+ lags and ppl disconect
