I created a 10 question anonymous survey, to gauge how seriously EU English language War Mode forum community is affected by lag when War Mode on. It takes about 1 minute to complete the survey. Only first 100 responses will be included.
Copy paste survey links, and if required/desired complete the technical support steps further down. You can change your answers after survey completion, if for example the technical support steps alter your lag issue.
The purpose of the survey is to see if we can identify any pattern in the lag issue. For example, if a particular set of realms are more affected, are they in same Blizz data-center? Because this is posted in English language forum only, results will be skewed for EU overall - but hopefully something will transpire.
Devinee contacted support and got the response below for lag situations involving a lot of players. If you get lag regardless of players, itâs still worth trying the steps above.
It is a pity that Blizzard does not want or can not fix lags, and release low-quality content. I also think they are specifically silent about the problem. Sharding, Phasing its a problem too, for WPvP.
I donât know if youâre tryna miss the point on purpose or what, butt Iâve seen this from you time & time again. The problem is that sharding has messed up WPvP in general LFG ruins shardingg because you make 1 lfg group fill it up boom shard is full.
I just wish people would realise and actually use their voice to complain about such things in a constructive manner instead of being dip shiits.
WoW the denial that raid vs raid is causing laggs is still being kept up. Weird how it only happens when the lFG groups are created?! But I guess we all havr ubbisch conenctions, yes we all have dial up internet and youâre the only one with fiber. When Bliz atleast acknowledged the problem and you still try to blame the users (us) for it. No tehy need to find a fix for the WM lag, during the Darkshore WM I never experienced this lag. Currently? Every time a battle is up I get atleast a 2 a 3 sec delay on instants.
My guess LFG/sharding and that everybody uses a damned bodyguard effectivly doubling the amount of actions teh server has to compute. Or simply old and outdated servers and they need to upgrade or replace them.
When I notice it I ainât the only one by far. I see several going in /1 immetdiatly go âOh world boss pulledâ, âoh a raid or more spawned inâ and âoh battle is startingâ. If I lagged I wouldnât be able to walk, itâs just the spells that take 2 a 3 sec to activate. Could walk once but loot lagged for 8 seconds, must have been my constant connection of 8 or 9 MS to the server, itâs clearly super ancient and slow. Iâm not even on (glass) fibre thus could put it down to 1MS if I had access to it.
Even Blizzard acknowledged there is a problem between server lag and LFG raid groups sharding/phasing in. Because if the battle is over and people leave itâs immetdiatly over. I can be in an area all alone and still get the lag when it happens.
Believe what you want. Not everyone is affected by unplayable lag.
Iâm 3000+ miles from the server and have 140 ms to 230 ms, not a good connection. Yet I have no 2, 3 or 8 second delays in casting, looting, etc., at exact same time others are complaining of lag in zone chat. Why?
In this post on server lag, thereâs a mix of players saying they get lag and others not. If everyone was affected by unplayable lag⊠the forum would be absolutely flooded with complaints, every post would be about lag. Itâs not. Itâs the few that come here to complain.
People are ofc more likely to post on forum saying they get lag, than to come to forum and post that they donât get lag.
You are not interested in discussion, if itâs so boring⊠why reply?
I didnât know Blizz said that, can you link to the blue post?
I can see why excessive activity might cause server lag, but it doesnât affect everyone the same. Iâm interested in why⊠what would cause some to be affected and others not?
Like I said, Iâm 3000 miles away. Different time zone and I will not be on WoW at peak time. Earliest I will be on is 12 am realm time.
However, next time there are players complaining of lag in zone chat, Iâll record the time before during and after. There will be no 8 seconds looting, etc.
Funny that you are bored of the convo yet keep it going.
Therefore, itâs worth trying support⊠but more likely to get response from Blizz support than tech support forum. They donât seem to respond to duplicate posts.
Whatâs trolling about stating that? Does it not make sense to eliminate issues at our end?
Imo, itâs trolling to complain about lag, blame Blizz for all lag, but not give them opportunity to see if they can fix it for you.
No doubt some lag when in Naz and very busy. Iâve experienced it once, but was brief and not unplayable. So, thereâs more to this.
