[PC Game] World of Warcraft: Catch All Thread

I've been doing all the quests and dailies and stuff I never bothered to before and holy shit does the Isle of Thunder suck so bad. SO BAD. At least the Timeless Isle showers you in goodies for how God awful it is (though, I have a full set of Timeless Isle armor tokens for every single type of armor except the plate boots which have evaded me so far which is kind of infuriating.)

Isle of Thunder infuriates me because I can't fly around, so things take ten times as long just to navigate without getting swarmed. Same for Timeless Isle. It's the one thing that worries me for WoD, since flying will be disabled on Draenor entirely. It won't possibly come back till the first content patch.

I ran into this yesterday, farming embersilk in Tol Barad Peninsula. Luckily, the farm zone wasn't too far from the portal, so it wasn't a huge annoyance.

Tol Barad is infinitely better designed than Isle of Thunder though. The way it's split into separate sections.

Just got kicked from the server. Tried to go back in and the queue is 20+ minutes.[DOUBLEPOST=1415907555,1415907480][/DOUBLEPOST]Now the timer says 40 minutes. I'm in position 724.

Oh! Now it's an hour![DOUBLEPOST=1415907673][/DOUBLEPOST]Yup. Kids are getting home from school now.
 
My server has no queue, but I did just try to hearth to my garrison and it was aborted saying instance not found and it used the CD. *cry*[DOUBLEPOST=1415908662,1415908591][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh and then I flew there and everyone is standing around because no one has a garrison. YAY![DOUBLEPOST=1415908812][/DOUBLEPOST]Not that I am surprised.

Though after seeing how quick my own leveling is, I am not surprised that there are already lvl 100s. Feels like Blizz flubbed level size in some way because they are tiny.

I think it's perception since we are once again using 10 levels. I remember back in BC and Wrath I felt like I leveled at a good pace, pretty quick overall. Then once Cataclysm knocked it down to 5 levels and dragged out the same level time over those 5 levels, it felt painfully slow. There are almost always players that hit the cap in the same day it comes out (usually through finding some mob spawn exploit).
 
Been playing about 90 minutes now.

Bits of lag and such really slow down the pace, but I'm enjoying the questing and cinematics in Draenor.

About 50% of the way to 91
 
I haven't been able to get on to Wyrmrest at all. The RPPVP server I play on was going really well, but the regular PVP server I'm on is lagged to hell and back.

Honestly, still fewer issues that usual with expac first days.
 
The frustrating thing is I can't even log into another server. I try to change servers and it just sits there "logging in".

I'm seriously thinking of moving my main to another server, but my characters share so much stuff. I have all but Engineering at 600+.
 
If you force close the game and log back in, you can get into a different server, at least that worked for me.
It doesn't matter at this point. The game has ground mostly to a halt anyway. A buddy of mine who's been playing most of the day says his server is currently so laggy that there's entire seconds between action inputs.

Seconds? When I stopped it was almost a minute.
 
It's not more servers, it's some issue causing the problems and to band-aid it, they reduced the amount of people allowed on the servers by 40%
 
You can't blame people for being upset that a company like Blizzard, with gobs of experience, still can't deal with the issue. It says a lot about how low gamer standards have gotten if something like this is 'expected' and several days of abysmal performance is ok. You either demand a certain standard of quality, or nothing changes. Stuff like this might have happened back when I was playing Asheron's Call back in the good ol' days, but it's 2014.

So, your solution, then? I mean seeing as everyone seems to think that it's a piece of cake to make a launch flawless.
 
Yup, because the amount of time that pre-orders have been available have anything to do with the load that servers can handle...

Seriously, if it were so easy to resolve these sorts of issues, don't you think that they'd be resolved by now? And I don't want to hear any bullcrap about "well, they need to get more servers" or whatever, that's ridiculously infeasible. If it's still like this by the sunday, you have every right to be pissed, but jesus christ people, it's like no one has ever experienced an MMO launch before.
