They are speaking specifically of Naxx. Which has been infamous of being a hot issue as its lagging out here and only here for many players.

Of course Dalaran is going to lag out. Shattrath was like that back in the hay day of Burning Crusade. Dalaran has even more players and more eye candy than Shattrath shoved into a much more confined area. The lag is not surprising.


I'm not trying to belittle your problems, but this post and the problem Blizzard is addressing at hand is Naxx and only Naxx. (then again, Blizzard isn't reading any of this anyway)

I can narrow my problems down to the date when they started. Patch-3.0 day. Before that date I was one of the lucky few that hardly EVER had an issue with WoW misbehaving. When I did it was the random rare occurrence associated with normal PC operation anyway.

However since Patch-3.0, I cannot ALT-TAB to and from my desktop to research items/Bosses/quests on the fly while I play without the game crashing every 3rd or 4th time I do it. Also...Lag...great oozing gobs of it everywhere. As I said before, prior to patch-3.0 I NEVER...N-E-V-E-R lagged...EVER while playing except for 'certain' times in Shattrath, and even then it was barely noticeable.

Now my experiences are not common with everyone else I know, but I wanted to paint you a picture of how different things have become since the 3.0 patch. Now sometimes combat is impossible and I have to 'hope' I'll survive encounters with mobs that were no threat to me before. I cannot click on any of my skills/actions because the timer is not done on them according to the UI, and when they are clear and the timer is done if I click on them, the game thinks they are STILL on GC because it hasn't even caught up to the UI...which was lagging to begin with!

I won't even mention Dalaran.....


Since patch 3.0 WoW has become a real PITA
