Insane lag for the past couple days ... hope it smoothes out.

[vampireuk]

Yeah I've been lagging to hell on the UK server that I'm on.

[retsam]

is anyone getting bad performance with the new patch ...i seem to have lost performance with the new patch... much much slower now ...

[Blacklash]

For sh*t and giggles I logged onto the top of the list for high pop PvP servers and had this ping to start with a noob and later went to a big 71ms. Of course there are a boat load of servers so some may be worse than others. To date I have tried playing six, at various times. The best MS has not always been on the lowest population server.



Largest problem I have had on any server was one night on an RP server I was getting a lot of disconnects. They knew about the issue and fixed it.

Heres a great link for US servers. Lists server ruleset pop etc etc:

EDIT: Thought I would add this. I tried "Bleeding Hollow" this eve for four hours. Saw MS of 20-104 tops. Guess I am just lucky. It was in the top 3 high and is supposedly the most populated server. According to Warcraft realm.

On Average I recieve anywhere between 70-100 FPS @ 1600x1200 with 4xAA/16xAF. Some areas drip down into the 50's but thats about as bad as it gets. With the exception of Auction House which dips int the 30's.

Ninja looting!

I have done it TWICE in this last week. I am a good looter even in FFA but I looted paldrones from SM by accident. We went through again and got them for the priest. I felt bad but ya get over it.

Later in Uldaman I looted a 2h hammer by accident. A pally could have used it but I was checking the loot out and pressed the button on the hammer when I wanted the mageweave. LOL It was AH bait for me but the pally needed it. I just said sorry but they keep crying about it and said I should give him some money for it. I said fek that, he can duel me for the money if he wants but I would beat him LOL!

Anyway admit your ninja looting mistakes for all to see.

Its people like you who tend to keep me away from pickup groups. If theres any item, and you cant use it, dont roll - simple as that. If no one can use it, then everyone rolls. Its pointless to grab 2 handed hammer if you either cant or arent going to use it when someone else will. The 80s you got for it isnt that big a deal.

[Tyr-Sog]

Blah, roll on everything inless it's a bind on pickup and someone needs it or it's blue and someone can use it. That way it's on a fair scale, everyone has a chance and if someone needs that item, arrange for the trade or sell after the instance. I've been in so many(although I stay far away from them now) instance where when all is said in done, you can't roll on anything, lol. Someone needs it for the alt, their friend, enchantment, blah, blah, blah... Or you get the guy tht has to have that green weapon,bothers the piss out of you for it, so you give it to him and at the end of the instance you check to see if they are using it and what do you know, nope...Wanted the same reason you wanted it, $$.

Umm, it was a accident. I thought I made that clear... I pass up most the stuff on quests.

I always post Greens and Blues when looting so everyone knows what is there. If it is gray i take it.

Ah, didnt know it was an accident All is well then. I did the same thing before, accidently rolled on a blue BOP from Herod in the SM and everyone freaked out and I was like geeze, sorry I didnt know. That was when I was still really new to the game.

[UDawg]

Ya that was my point. I felt like a major heel when I did it. I did how ever go to the AH and buy my guildie who could have used that particular item a better ugrade.

Ya it just happens every now and again.
