Many WoW users are getting frustrated and the number seems to be growing. WoW technical support is ignoring the issue stating that the blame resides in our internet providers and not the game...You be the judge.

Here are some links and statements posted in the WoW technical support forums without any replies from WoW technical support.:

Q u o t e:
System Information

Intel Core Duo E4500 @ 2.2oGhz
DDR2 2gig RAM
PCI ATI Sapphire HD3850

DSL connection 1500/256K Dynalink RTA1320 (Standard Ethernet Connection)

The Problem

Within the last couple of weeks I have been enduring high latency and constant disconnects in the Battle for Mount Hyjal. The lag/disconnects are only occurring while the trash waves are active as everything returns to normal once where on a boss. The high latency and constant disconnects only happens in Hyjal, other raids such as Tempest Keep/SSC are fine.

This is occurring on both Winterchill, Anetheron & Kaz'rogal wave trash (Azgalor & Archimonde trash, I have not seen yet). Trash such as the Gargoals and Frost Worms present no trouble but the lag returns when we are aoe-ing down the larger groups our pally is tanking.

Things I've done to attempt to resolve this.

I've tried the standard GM issue macro of removing the WTF, Interface & Cache files and attempted the event with no add-ons installed. I've turned down all video settings to the lowest settings and turn off combat logs. I have made the changes to my network setting as suggested in Solution ID: 19824 from the tech support site. I've check "reduce interface lag" in my option settings (no idea what it does but :) As suggested by a GM I've also ran the repair wizard inside my wow folder. I’ve also shutdown all not necessary programs/processes to see if this possible as software conflict.

People I have contacted about this

Wasn't "Cemoa" (or Semoa) the name of that monkey from the Planet of the Apes?

Anyone else find that iconic..er..i mean ironic here?

Fanbois forum is one down from us. You must have made a wrong turn in the rabbit hole dude.

Move along.Move along. You won't find any droids here...those are all in the NGE forum.

Have a nice day.

SWG never was "just a game". It was a virtual world sim set in the Star Wars universe, in which we were enticed to experience the "Greatest Star Wars Saga ever told, your own".

It's been changed into basically KOTOR online with a very bad UI and combat system and very little content.

If SWG were "just a game" you wouldn't have anywhere near the vitriol from us that exists.

Very well said Wildcat84.

I have an entire guild of players awaiting the day we can plant our feet in the sands of Tat again.

Stbays, let me clarify a few things for you...

1) Playing 3-4 months of a game the rest of us played for nearly 2 years does not make you a vet--sad to dissapoint you there kiddo.

2) The users of this forum are made of of thousands of individuals who all share some things in common, such as: Our hatred for the NGE and how SOE ruined years of our hard earned efforts. (I find it amusing to note that you mentioned you would not want SOE to make changes to the child-like game you are playing atm---Do you know what the word Hypocrite means?)

If SOE screwed their players over once, what makes you think they won't hesistate to do it again?

3) One of the reasons that many people are not defending the NGE along side you is because many of the active players also prefer the previous versions of the game---so really, out of the existing player base of what--10k?..20K?(doubt it) there may only be a small number of trigger/click happy kids who enjoy the NGE --they lack ability to play and appreciate a truly immersive living virtual world run by players and self sustaining communities.

4) You've embarrassed yourself enough by posting here...please stop. I am starting to feel a slight bit sorry for you trying to defend this crappy game.

Okey, I gotta do this.  All I ever see is the whiners.  Are you guys the only ones with any free time?  I guess the rest of us are actually playing games.

I first played the game over 27 months ago, definately pre-cu and honestly I felt lost from the get go.  The game was a broken mess where only the most deticated could do anything productive.  Before my time card had expired, I'd already decided to head to quit.  What they needed was a level structure, a sizable starting quest, and an easier way to become a Jedi, which obviously was the main objective for most people that bought the game I would guess.

Well now they have perfected 2 out of 3 with the NGE and I gotta say I love it.  It's definately a step in the right direction.  I can judge how much progress I've made each day by taking a quick look at my various levels and feel like I didn't just waste my time dancing in the Cantina (honestly, I never understood mind damage...)

I would say my only complaint is this:  It's way way too easy to be a Jedi.  I do think they needed to eliminate the hologrind thingie (something that no one seemed to be able to explain to me back in the day, stating they didn't know how to do it), but what we have instead was a bit over kill.  Guess that's why I picked Commando instead of supporting the "Too Many Jedi" movement.

But beyond that, I've enjoyed my time.  I'm very happy the decided to give Jump to Light Speed away to all current members.  Fact is, the game didn't feel like Star Wars while I was stuck on the ground all the time.  I do feel a little bad for those that paid money for that expansion, but oh well, life goes on.  Over time, new box sets came out that gave it away any ways.

To the Vets, shut it already.  It's getting so old.  The old SWG is dead and the new one is hear to stay.  Either get over it or play something else.  I hear you can still get Empire at War along with a few other titles for $30.00.

 

To those that like the NGE, please, make a point to speak up.  I know I'm not the only one.  In fact, in my time playing since I restarted my account, I've only met one complainer in the game.  We who enjoy SWG as it now is need to speak up, voice our opinions, and maybe start recruiting our friends and family to start playing and build those numbers back up.

 

Well, I'm done with my rant.  Feel free to respond, but try if you will to come up with something other then the usual brainless response.  If you disagree with me, tell me what I might have done wrong when I was first playing and how I could've done it better.  Or something along those lines.  Just don't bother if all you're gonna say is "you suck!" cause I could careless.

Stbays, I have a slew of witty responses but I have a strange feeling they'd be wasted on you, so I'll keep it simple:

1) If you like the game, go play it and leave us alone. I'd recommend re-reading the description of this forum again.You are the one whining here.

2) I can understand that you enjoy the game, so you should equally understand and show respect for those of us who do not...

3) and I can't help but to point out that you sir are the minority. The majority of SWG subs have left the game, the rest are on their way out. Everytime I read the SOE forums I can't help but see the negativity there from active players, and can't help but see at least one or two long time NGE players announcing their leaving of the game before their posts get deleted by some swg mod.

4) Very soon we'll be playing our Pre-Cu game again, and you won't have to worry about our whinning anymore---we'll be too busy playing our game.

Cheers!

Im personally seeing a ton of people, both new and otherwise. There is more pvp in the game now then there ever was which is a great thing, the pvp is almost constant in restuss. Also, mos eisley is smack full on my server, i was checking it out at one in the morning on a wednesday and both the cantina and outside the starport were very crowded with people.

So.. maybe you should stop playing at 6am or something?

Piirg, go troll somewhere else with your lies....The servers are not only dead compared to CU, they are even worse than a few months after the NGE....

It's really pathetic, just like you fanbois trying to talk up a game thatnoone likes...including you it would seem. When I was addicted to pre-cu the only forums I had time to check were the trade forums...other than that I was living inside the game.

You sir seem to spend more time on these forums.

Pirrg, you're delusional.
To the Op, take it from someone who has rejoined and quit 4 times since the NGE in disgust. You will quit again. It is only a matter of time. It is, YOUR DESTINY!

I feel like a wise old man watching students make the same mistakes over and over and over again....:)
Good Luck!

And I came back and stayed. Maybe you just are a very indecisive person?

---

---

Nope, I just tried really hard to like it...and the more I played the angrier I became....hit the cancel button, read forums...ok, maybe now it might be better....nope, cancel again, rinse and repeat.

Eventually I realized too much of what I liked about the old game was not there anymore.

Now all my hopes rest on a duck pond .....

While I did enjoy reading your post, I felt this was SWG veteran's board material, so I moved it.

Thank you.

Move it back please. Censoring what your members read is not cool.

Bad Praetoriani, bad!

Short term: playing D n D online and continueing with league play in BF2.

Long Term: Waiting for the ducks to get their act together to delve into pre-cu!

At least 100,000 Star Wars fans seem to disagree with you.

Never mind the millions who were never even interested enough to TRY it.

I'd say that's an understatement......but let's allow dumdum his opinion shall we?

I played SWG from release right up until just before the CU.

The game completely sucked.

I remember Lots and Lots of bugs.  Gamestopping, Play breaking kinds of bugs.  I remember No space ships, No Vehicles.  Single dimmension quests that were kill 30 bunnies and report back.  I remember waiting 10 minutes for a shuttle.  Oh and you want a Jedi and a Light Saber, well be prepared to give up your life to months of grinding.

To be fair they did add vehicles (although only one person could ride in any vehicle) before the CU. 

I do miss the ability to mix and match different profession tree's but I don't miss the tedium of having to grind up those trees.  I think I like the more straight forward, quest based advancement that minimizes grinding.  Oh and the quests, well most of them are multi-dimmensional, story based quests that allow you to advance without alot of "go stand in a field and kill Rancors all day for days on end"

I don't think these forums can hold that much data(or I don't feel like typing it all out--forget which../grin), so I'll sum it up with a few key points:

Pre-CU SWG was an actual living/breathing online virtual world. Every profession was dependant on others. 10 minute shuttle waits, social cantina's and med centers, the mystery of jedi, an emotional and very active Civil War all gave us the illusion that we lived in an actual living world.

On the downside many of us nearly got divorced from our spouses, forgot who our own kids were etc....

Man, I want that again.

Don't think this forum needed any help Leel.,.,.....lol....I suspect by week 2 it will have more posts than all other SWg forums combined....

Jestor must be Obi-Wan!!!!!

Jester to devs*waves hand* "You want to give me my own forums to complain about SWG"

*poof*

*SWG Vet Forum appears*

Wow. I'm an apprentice looking for a master Jester.

/bow2

Alright, now I really feel "Star Warsy' and Iconic'.....Is it just me or does anyone else really feel like we are the Rebellious vets fighting against the evil SOE Galactic Empire...>?

Ironic, isn't it?

Hey, who's got those plans? We need to find a way to blow up that Death Star!!!!

/wookie roar

Guys, I dunno, I really don't see this as a bad thing...you know, cup half full stuff and all that...I mean, I think once we start seeing the posts here, in OUR forum, created especially for US, that we are comprised of so many active posters, and the NGE has 3 NGE fans discussing stuff amongst themselves, that they will see who their subcribers really are.....

Welcome to the old boys club, the officer's club etc.

*stretches out in lazy-buy recliner while sipping an ice cold brew* Munchies anyone? Let's get a game of Texas Hold em going!!

I'll bet my right wing it's a new pond to play in......*quack*
