Consistent disconnects whenever you speed boost and the quest which takes place over Suramar where you are in control of the Blue Whelp is the worst of all. You might get lucky and somehow finish the race with Bronze, if you manage to pass one major vertical hurdle, which you probably won’t have enough speed for, because reasons.
What I noticed is that the major problematic points are border zones of Legion world quests and if you enter any of them while moving too fast… well, the game crashes and sometimes you can’t log in with explanation that the character name already exists.
Even the Blink Boost ability is broken and it won’t propel you forward at a desired angle but always horizontally, which means it is mostly useless.
Its probably the same issue as with newly added Garrosh skip in SOO (still waiting for it to get fixed) where the game experiences a stroke because you change position too quickly than what is normally allowed.
Yep seeing this too every time i use the Blink ability, instant disconnect. The other 2 spells not so much but every time with Blink. This is for the blue whelp in Suramar.
I cannot figure out whether the updraft winds are supposed to be a hazard or of assistance. If you run into either of the two, it won’t particularly help you gain momentum and while it may allow you to finish the race through your own terribly mistimed ability casts, your final time will be far behind Bronze medal. The hit box is also wildly inconsistent or at least it doesn’t correctly register your distance from them, resulting in wasted time - this happens seemingly at random when you don’t even expect it to happen and movement speed seems to be the determining factor.
This race wasn’t very well though out, let alone tested and it shows on the very first ride. I’ve been at this for the last half hour and I don’t believe anyone can beat beat 100 seconds. If I use the Blink anywhere else it results in instant defeat. I would need to use it 3-4 extra times to achieve Gold and there isn’t any room for it because you already know what will happen on specific stretches along the length of the track where you could benefit the most.
Race with no Blink - 106s
Race with 4x Blink - 102s
It would be possible if it were working properly. The first two thirds of the track you don’t need Blink at all, but in the last part when you fly through the main city gate you are guaranteed to disconnect if you ever use it.
Many other spots where using two Blinks in a row does the same. If all stars align you have a small chance at Gold, but is primarily determined by the game deciding not to disconnect you right at the start when a little bit of speed does miracles, which in my case happened once in ten attempts.
I lowered my view and draw distances, including all graphical setting to minimum and managed to evade two dead spots, but it still gets you somewhere in the end so this isn’t a viable workaround. The root cause may just as well be World Quests in proximity and how they possibly phase the player or provide an extra action button.
I’ve been stuck at the Legion loading screen for some time now and unable to log in. In the distance I could see dozens of players falling through the sky or ground.
You won’t be disconnected if you rotate the camera 180 degrees before using whelp abilities, however for some weird reason this causes the speed boost winds not to work properly when you fly through them. Gold time is achievable if performed perfectly, but playing this way only increases the likelihood of messing up.
