yeah the way WG ends is weird, sometimes it gives me the mark or doesnt and sometimes it ends and kicks everyone from the fortress or we stand there and get slaughtered by npcs. The ending could use some debugging or at least do something more grand than... YOU LOST HAHA!
This is an issue of the client being a little too dumb technically. Very little of the information being sent across the wire is relevant. Eve online had the same issue, where sending 100% of the info of all players/ships was feasible in small-scale encounters, it did not make sense in large-scale battles.Quote:

What information is relevant? How much damage am I taking/healed, how much damage did I do, where are other players and how much life does everyone have(or for more fine-grained -- health of those targeted only). Armor, enchants, gems are not relevant and while they allow you to answer the second question client-side quickly in small-scale battles, it scales very poorly.
There are major optimizations that can happen, but often require design work. We'll see if they've done any of it if the performance starts scaling up :)

Well said.
Has anyone tried reducing the view distance? Not sure if that would help or not. I have found Winterlag on L(M)agtheridon to be horrible. Mostly unplayable.
That doesnt matter. I have my wow at min settings. No matter if I am playing 5 accounts or 1 I get the same winterslag thats unplayable. What I try to do now is hope I get my 20 kills right at the start before the lag fest happens. Sometimes I may just pop my guy(s) in a vehicle and sit back to watch the choppy sinclair lag fest.Quote:

The servers definitely need upgrading. This is obvious by the fact that every zone that has phasing (Ie: almost all of northrend) has MASSIVE lag spurts randomly. Everything is peachy keen most of the time and then for 5 minutes straight everyone has 10-20 second loot/spell/follow lag.
Will Dalara & Wintergrasp always lag?
I just placed an order on
mother board Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5, X58, DDR3,
Socket-1366, ATX, 3xPCI-Ex(2.0)x16
Intel Core™ i7 920 Quad Processor 8MB
Corsair TWIN3X 1600MHz DDR3, 6GB
Gigabyte Radeon HD 4850 1GB possible adding another card if needed.
2,00 Seagate Barracuda 320GB, 7200RPM, 16MB, SATA 3Gb/s
Atleast this should fix any lag in Arena,AV & Instances i hope , i run 4 chars.
anyone runnig on similar computer hardware ?
I have 12 GB ram, same proc, 2 x 4870x2's and dual raptors. Dalaran is just fine.
I only have a dual core processor, 3GB of memory, and 512MB GeForce 9800GT and I only ever lag in Dalaran (haven't been to wintergrasp yet). Everywhere else my game runs fine. FWIW I just bought an extra 4GB of memory since it was only $25 with free shipping and will be installing Vista x64 (which I also got super cheap) just to take advantage of the extra memory. I doubt this will make anything run much faster though, if anything it might slow down some because of the extra overhead Vista causes.Quote:

Wintergrasp depends on your server. Low pop or off peak hours it's the same as any other busy zone. High pop it's going to have server lag no matter what your PC is made from. My server is queued and on prime time I have seen 4+ raid groups in WG and since the opposing faction didn't have Tenacity they had at least nearly as much as we did. It gets pretty laggy and has been unplayable a couple of times on the final push into the keep. But even so if I go in on the later night battles then there's maybe 1 raid on each side and 0 lag. Guess being on the West Coast is finally a benefit when it comes to timing!
