either server upgrade -less instance or less players per instance or something along those lines
9x out of 10 , i run to the dragon take a couple of swings and next thing i have been rubber banded out in the camps surrounding the fight with mobs of enemy attacking me and unable to move
if i can get past that i either cant get the on my mount to follow to the next dragon or i am stuck trying to release to get back to spawn ... i mean like hitting shift+2 and ok 20+ times to respawn
an ongoing very frustrating online experience
the hordes of players wanting to participate in this series of HE's is the problem
there are no incentive on the other HE's like mistral point for example just to name one, to get them to flock there instead on just this one area/map
i would like to keep doing dragon run, but for now it has become so infuriating i will have to only find times when there is 5 full instances instead of 10
because as soon as more than 5 are full it becomes unplayable
the people next door must think i am killing someone from all the screaming at the screen
:P

so all u yanks can take a swipe at me for that... cheers to all my fellow NW player friends wherever u arr...r
comeon .... tell me thats the way its always been and to like it or lump it
It's also a waste of my time having to be in the WoD 15 minutes before the heralds start to make sure I can get in a good instance.
If they still give purple refinement stones and artifact belts/cloaks, then easier dragons will just lead to even more people coming...
*nothing to fix indeed
what about throwing a fraction of their profits at maintaining the servers to handle more( the overload of) connections?
it's so clagged up its not funny
they could also draw ppl away from that area if there was equal incentive to go elsewhere
but no
there is only a few places to get element seals and for many players those dungeons are just an injury kit suck
spread it around a bit more and maybe the dragon run wont be such a clusterfork
Try it again later that day. If it still lags this bad, try reducing your graphics and, if it's not already the case, try connecting to the internet via cable. (for me this did wonders)
I wish you luck and hope you will be able to kill some dragons soon.
graphics are at minimal every time i try it
but ty and same to you
dude, he's not kidding you. players hoard the dragons because mod6 increased their challenge rating. they do need to be nerfed so that the instances are not 30+ players. telling cryptic that they need to do this so you can play the area is also a joke and an insult to the community as a whole. even more so since you admit that you use the aussie servers, which there in may be your problem not the well of dragons.
over powered dragons in heralds issues:
paladins with prism. causes lag as it does everybody. doesnt help.
astral seal: damagesdragon and heals everyone around the dragon. even with 20 players this lags.
astral seal part 2: as with cleansing fire. damages dragon, heals dragonslaying hoard and damages dragon henchies. massive lag.
nerfing any of these would infact screw up the fanbase and players would leave teh game never to return
I hear you though, id rather not do wod with a haord, but as it stands now, that is the only way to do it and finish it. in a hoard starting at green will get all 5 dragons with atleast 30 players. ...
the ''fan base' is what the problem is with this game, and why the functionality of pvp aspect of the game hasnt been overhauled long ago
as for being on an overseas server , that is irrelevant
go sort out your xenophobia
And why are people always so sure, what the problem has to be, though they don't have any reliable information about Cryptic's technical assets?
I find it more believable, that there are some errors in the coding of a map (which, as we already know has happened often enough) or some completely other problem, clogging up everything. Like the thing with the lingering daily powers which they adressed in todays patch.
a few spikes of lag but nothing like i had been experiencing the last few days
(nearly every instance was full)
so good work if it stays this way
i will see how it is next time
That sounds awesome.
Was not able yet to acces game thanks to work, real life and all these things but I really look forward to try it. Lag got very bad for me in the last days ...
Did anyone try Spinward Rise? Is it better now?
think they have no space to grow up this game and runn game at 100% capacity
im 100% sure :-always will be lag in this game lag and rubberbanding
now im out of bussines with this game but i hope they will do some changes and solve some bugs in time
now the dragons are twice as hard as they were... with more hp and more aoe more often
but it's good they are working on it
sorry if i sounded snarky about but it was driving me up the wall
and the price for the goods will drop and since that is the only farmable thing for good rp lets not do this ok?
You don't understand this. It is not only causing lag, it also means everyone who does not farm those dragons is left behind in the rp race. As I said they could just put the belts/cloaks in the tiamat loot and the rp too. Put some rp as reward for the weekly quest in wod and everything will be much better and not just laggy boring dragon grind that slows half the game down every hour.
This will, further down the line, put less stress on the servers and enable us to farm RP with stable 60 FPS.
We will have more time to do other things like counting sand grains and pick flowers.
Oh oh, and return AD to Leadership and put Captcha to CHALLENGE DA BOTZ!

I feel being really funny today.
Good day all!

You used to be able to go to any instance and be assured there would be a run going on. We'd start at white--which is near the door, so you could get there last minute and charge on in.
