Fixing the server lag problems when? This weekend is going to suck.

Suramar has been unplayable for two days on most servers because of the world bosses. Have you even removed sharding from AD? The unplayable lag lead me to hardly playing today.

13

Blizzard can’t fix millions of players brute-forcing their ways into the same server-partitions of a zone server.

In other words, too many of you are pushing into the tiny store.

14

Implying it’s the world boss eh? Spare me that crap. Azsuna sucked tonight as well and that has no WB active, they can start by actively sharding our server, it won’t fix the WB problems but it’ll fix the rest.

15

Implying it’s the mass amount of people trying to play the game in general at the same time. Hardware can manage only so much people.

16

Sharding exists for a reason, it’s to soften the impact of such things. I’m still not 100% if it’s been enabled for our server on the broken isles yet as normally it’s turned off.

17

Rather remix in general. Everyone and their grandma is playing remix atm so whatever zone is popular at a time will cause massive server wide lags due to all the calculations that are being done that the game simply cant handle anymore.

Yes. And sharding too has a limit unless they enforce even smaller shards (which they wont do because the world will feel even more empty). Yesterday Suramar wasnt exactly playable for instance.

And I doubt they will enable it given the RP nature of the realm even during events such as remix.

18

It isn’t. But may be once the rolling restarts are over.

They really need to figure out zone-based sharding without screwing an entire server.

19

Wrong, if the load is too high they will turn it on, it was turned on for Pandaria remix irc.

20

Fair enough. Temporarily then very likely. But you will suffer lags regardless just like we do in non remix whenever something more or less big happens (karesh world boss still causes slight lags when engaged for the zone and caused major lags at the start)
