The game looks the same as it did during BFA for the most part but the performance is like 4 times worse? Looking at Method, Liquid and Echo’s streams during the RWF and time and time again you can hear their players complaining about framerate issues, stuttering, freezing and so on. How is the performance getting worse and worse over time? Come on now devs… Some of these guys are sitting on the best commerical hardware money can buy and they’re dropping to 15-20 fps on the platforms during P2 Dimensius. Yes, the game is old and all that but holy hell. What is justifying the constant degrading of performance over time? Surely it is not visual related since the game looks the same and changing ingame settings hardly covers for the MASSIVE fall off you see in combat. Something is very wrong somewhere in the game.
For the Midnight expansion the best thing you could do for this game is to rebuild it to actually work… not just as intended but at all. Just make the game work. We’ve reached an unaccepted level of bad in terms of performance. This is laughable considering just a few years ago you could sit at 200+ fps during 20 man raid on the same rig. But now you’re happy if you’re in the 40’s. Holy rant
It’s the pools on the ground. I ran a delve scenario with 20 of the same looking ones covering the room the other day at 7 fps whereas I would otherwise be playing at 200+. I left early because it was unplayable and the only reward I got out of it was nausea.
The intense graphics serve no gameplay purpose other than denying movement over 90% of the room.
The game can still run extremely well on old hardware but it’s only their idiotic design choices which push the need for constant upgrades. The jump in the requirements for the expansion will probably end up being due to some kind of zone wide fog effect which you won’t be able to turn off.
For feedback about the game or rather it’s hardware issues please move this to an appropriate non-support forum as Support doesn’t handle any feedback or have input regards.
You don’t determine what the scope of Support is. Often, we get people who try to make arguments like that but then get told otherwise and then we’re insulted with “you are not helpful, eksdee” That was quite cringe to read and write.
If you read my post carefully I recommended it to be posted on a more appropriate area where your feedback may get heard, this can also be done through the ingame feedback panel if you cannot stop harassing others whilst doing so.
I’m afraid you do not dictate whether if something is or isn’t valuable, personally I collect a lot of feedback through the day and send it in for summary as well to help Blizzard. Personal attacks on the forums is not allowed either.
They used to just blame addons and whatever but since they forced the built in addon usage thingy its not blatant to everyone that its just the game being built with twigs and tape.
Game has at least 2-3 15 second or more freezes for me followed by all the textures reloading a day. It’s wild. Happens in raids, dungeons, sometimes even Dornogal. Many of my guildmates having the same thing, and has only started since season 3.
There’s been some ddos attacks lately I heard, but dunno. Somethings been off since yesterday for me, game consuming double the cpu it normally does. (even when I’m idling in warband character screen.)
Agreed! A engine change or something is a must at this point. The game is a mess. I also have the screen freezes, collections tab reload/black out screens and massive fps issues for months now. Clearly it is not a addon conflict issue or driver issue since I already tested both and many more.
I opened tickets already but customer support is also just nonexistent at this point, just template messages.
