We had to call off our Naxx25 raid tonight due to extremely high levels of lag. It is now not possible to successfully run Naxx while Wintergrasp is in progress.
We managed to down a couple of bosses in spite of the 4-5 seconds of lag, sadly it went down hill from their with us wiping on trash due to no one being able to cast any spells.
We gave it another go shortly after Wintergrasp finished, but sadly that didn't seem to have improved matters& I assume there were still running battles going on in their. Wiping again on Maexxna with the server failing so badly people were being wrapped not on the walls but in the middle of the raid...not that we could do anything about it. At one point I cast Blizzard it happily channelled for about 15seconds doing no damage and not stooping when I moved.
We usually clear Naxx on Thursday evenings, there is always some server lag...
While I can appreciate the heavy load that Wintergrasp must place on the servers, this should have been foreseen and action should have been taken to make sure that it would not effect the performance of other parts of the game. If it is not possible to have Wintergrasp running without effecting the performance of the whole server then it needs to be disabled until a real fix can be implemented....and no thats not a Raider vs PVPer point of view I really like Wintergrasp and have hit the honor cap on both of my 80's in there.
So we wasted an evening and thousands of gold on flasks & food, for no gain.... this seems rather unfair.
