🤣 Servers cannot handle a decade old BG

Wintergrasp battleground unironically breaks down completely to the point of being absolutely unplayable + minute long lag in a 40 vs 40

Classic Blizzard quality right there. I wonder if the same people who designed unholy DK designed blizz servers? Good job!

It is likely less to do with servers and more to do with them needing to optimize their code. There is a lot more going on in the game engine both server and client side each tick since 10 years ago, which has made it harder for servers to process each event as fast as they used to.

This fact was actually explained by Ion in a dev interview. Basically if you get lag at a specific spot, report it in a Bug report and the devs will be able to pinpoint exactly what was going on at that point in time in logs to fix their code.

you’d think they tested their code first

No most likely you’re wrong here and as a seasoned role player I can explain why: Setting up a 40 vs 40 in the open world also breaks the servers, it wasn’t like this in earlier expansions

But also how much more time do they need to optimize a decade year old battleground’s “code” ? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Edit: The entire battleground lags from the start, even without any fight going on, it lags

Dodging the point seems to be your own strong point.

All of my posts in this thread were apparently flagged and the system hid it for a moderator to review. Oh well :slight_smile:

Danellos is correct.

It’s harder to go back and change old code than write new.

Vanilla servers being an excellent example.
No point arguing when you clearly lack the understanding :hugs:

alright why plan to bring back EPIC 40v40 games when the EPICness is gone since we’re basically sitting on tape-weight mini servers

paying the same price in the last 13 years but now i pay same price for cheaper server

like honestly i get that Wpvp is busted if u get 40 ppl duking(maybe 50) but isnt instanced stuff more tailored to this?(more stability, WAY farther draw distance). dunno man but if Wintergrasp is getting back hopefully it’ll make the devs get the idea that just placing the same platform for every instance wont cut it for stability
