    Questions to developers (Please, I don't want to start another thread):

    1) What is causing the bad lag in the Tower of Rot raid?
    2) How soon can we expect a fix, because the raid really would be fun if there was no lag?

    Thank you for your time.

    youre the exception, not the rule my friend. many people with pretty outstanding rigs are experiencing these issues.

    I hope they fix the lag too - but the raid was tested, if briefly. Removing items and stripping the objects to a minimum helped a tiny bit, so I think the developers have something to start with. It could be the Weight of Rot instancewide debuff, it could be something entirely else.

    Have you reached the part that starts from 25%? Most of our guild don't have a lot of lag until the red cons start spawning. But it gets MUCH worse when they appear. Those mobs are just evil, in more than one sense.

    I don't know what to tell you. The problem is *nearly* universal, then. My PC is built and overclocked to fairly high levels (FX-9370BE stable at 5.1GHz, 2x 7870's in XFire, etc) - far beyond what that laptop can reach. With that said, I don't think it matters in the least. I've never seen either of my GPU's spike beyond 3-5% capacity nor any of my cores go above ~20 during the raid. It isn't PC limitations that are causing the lag.

    If you're truly lag free, I'd love to figure out exactly how to replicate it. It would be a great service to us all. :p

    Yes

    Yea, that was kind of my point. I am seeing no issue with a decidedly un-gaming laptop. I am not trying to say "its your fault" or anything, just that it is much more convoluted than "its the aura" or "its the fire pots". I am not just doing fine, I'm doing well with Luclin models and particles ( not all, think I'm set to mine only for player and spells, 100% opacity )

    Or maybe I just have a lot of stock in the Lenovo corporation. ;)

    So was the lag hotfixed today for this(and other raids)? I see another thread claiming things are better in general...

    Machin Shin beat it tonight I heard.

    Congrats Machin Shin!!!


    that said, I really hope the lag was fixed.

    Wasn't fixed for us. But we play euro time. Can any other guild confirm that it's fixed?
  11. Deillusional Augur

    And congrats MS

    Big grats on the win for sure! If the next attempt is anything like our experience, its like riding a bike.

    If you mean it will cause chaffing of the perineum region after prolonged exposure, then yes its like riding a bike.

    We got it down last night, and lag was a huge improvement. I've noticed the raid gets more lag during peak raid nights, and last night is apparently a night where people don't raid in the zone much. I even turned my Luclin models back on and saw no drop in frame rate -- I was probably running 20-25 the whole night. The night before, with "Classic" models on, I was getting 5-10. No, this wasn't because of all the "bow-chicka-bow-wow" that I was downloading, either... ;)

    Some may depend on class played. Caster have easier time with lag over those next to the mob. They get to turn graphics higher and hide less in filters on crappier machines. I would think the lag may have been improved, and now its client side or the person u quoted could be making it up too.
  18. Kiillz Augur

    i thank God do not lag there myself but have any of you used stick figures to maybe alleviate it?
  19. Deillusional Augur

    The lag still needs fixing, but we got it down now at least. I don't want to put my guild through this lag every week, fix it please.
