wintergrasp quests

In an effort to better balance the amount of players that are in Wintergrasp at any given time, we are changing the daily quests in Wintergrasp to a weekly format. This will result in an increase in the honor reward given by these quests as well as additional Stone Keeper's Shards. These quests will reset every Tuesday morning at 3:00 AM.

There are two known issues that may occur once these changes are pushed to live realms:


* The quest mark will now show as gold, even though the quests are repeatable.
* After the quests reset, players near the NPC quest givers may need to move out of line of sight in order for the quests to properly appear.

Problem: Servers can't handle epic battles in Wintergrasp
Solution: let's not motivate people to participate in these battles so much
... sigh

How could I be so naive to expect some solution of this problem. Blizzard gives, Blizzard takes. :rip:Wintergrasp

you know its Dead when they give it a new ICON

WoW isn't build for "world" action, they would have to recode everything to fix it really. Don't expect massive world action from WoW, maybe the next blizzard MMO will do that.

If anyone wants to feel how it is to play with Robje using voice com, here's a link to the Official Robje Emulator (ORE) (http://www.simplynoise.com/). The emulator is a 100% precise version of Rob talking.

Basically the lag is due to many new things added in the game, like Flying mounts (3 coordinates needed instead of 2 to localize a player) the new shitload of ability, the increased frequence of casting (reduced global cooldown for some classes and for melee), and, client side, the improved graphic etc...

The problem is that with 100+ people on the very same place, the game starts to be impossible to handle for the server, it has to receive every keypress from the clients, and each keypress must be sended to EACH other client. So it's exponential. Every 1 more player means doubling rougly the data output from the central server.

I remember when we opened the Gate of Ahn' Qiraj .... that was true lag!

I think the biggest lag issue comes from the heavier graphics that's been added.
But yeah, it differs per location, when there are more players nearby the lag increases drastically...
Dalaran is just horrible, I'm amazed that my computer can't handle that at 40+ fps! :P

just bad programming :

cheep old code retrofitted without proper stress testing and then boddged together fix's where a whole re code is needed .

plaster on plaster on plaster . thay need to cut the whole code base and bin it re write it and test it correctly.

For 1 billion a month i recon i could offer my tallents as a tester :))

Engineering FTW!

Gnomish X-Ray Specs is the best Dalaran lag reducer. I really notice a difference.
