Instance Server Lag - Magtheridon

See subject, we've had quite bad lag in Ulduar all evening/night so far. It's almost 11.30pm now and it's still there. Abilities lagging, casting lag, instants are nowhere near instant, etc. The usual.

What's up?

Ignoring the bickering above. O.o

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm sorry, Civrock, but I have seen no confirmed reports of latency for Uldaur. When it comes to certain types of latency, especially in raid, it can have a lot to do with a persons computer/connection or addons.

Have you tried the normal troubleshooting steps by having everyone in your raid disabling their addons to see if that has an effect?

This post may prove useful.

Our technicians will continue to look into reports of increased latency but at the moment I don't have any additional information regarding this.

Thank you, Civrock, please give me as much detail as possible and I'll try to pass it on.

Were you experiencing latency just at boss fights or in other areas.

Was the latency at a specific boss or at any of them.

Did your latency meter change at all or was it still in the green?

What kind of latency did you experience? Spell casting, movement, etc..

If you were unable to move were you still able to use chat channels?

Add whatever else you can think of.

Q u o t e:
It seems to be getting worse and worse tonight. It's pretty much unplayable at the moment. It's not just Tuesdays.

Vrakthris - HALP!


I'm afraid the best I can tell you, Civrock, is that the information has been forwarded to the appropriate parties for investigation. If I receive some kind of update I will certainly let everyone know but I don't expect one until this issue can be fully investigated.

Q u o t e:


When "can" this issue be "fully investigated"? I'm a little confused by your wording. I'd imagine that prime raid hours would be the perfect time to investigate this and that the responsible department is available nearly 24/7 to monitor server performance.


I should have said until the investigation is complete. Right now our teams are looking into these reports.

Thank you for the additional information, Crebane, this will help track down what is happening.

Quite frustrating.


Understandable, Civrock, our Developers and Quality Assurance Teams are looking into these reports. I don't have any information on what was found though.

Game Masters are not Developers or Realm Technicians, Lifanthort, nor are they liaisons to either. I'm not certain what you are expecting to get from continued petitions.

All I can say is that our Development Team is aware of the reports and are looking into it. Beyond that we don't have any updates.
