Regarding Server Delay

[Zecov]

I just want to start off saying that I love this server and this is not meant as a bash.

- But the server clearly has server delay during EU peak times for months now and many are experiencing it. The people saying otherwise either are playing from the US / Australia and are used to it, or simply has bad internet or hasn't played on the live server or other vanilla private servers where there is no delay at all.

I really hoped the new PvE server would take some of the huge population from the PvP server and reduce the server delay so that I, and lots of others, can enjoy raiding and using our classes to the fullest without having a 0.5 - 1 second delay on all spells during our weekly raids at EU peak times or evening PvP.

I know that the GM's of Nostalrius has multiple times stated that they "now have fixed lag on our server" - but I'm not feeling it, and I know a lot of others who don't either (speaking pike time, where raids are happening).
My old guild GRIZZLY was by a lot mainly US players and they complained about it as well, just proving that it is not EU people only.

I made this thread to hopefully get a response if Nostalrius are able to fix the server delay one day, or might be open to a server cap? Personally I would much rather sit in a 30 minute que and play with no lag or delay the entire day or evening, than being handicapped in either PvE or PvP having to wait 0.5 - 1 second on everything that I press.

I hope I speak for the majority here and that this can be a constructive thread, without the 1% having to shoot me down to the ground for even suggesting a server cap and that the 1% hopefully will stay off this thread.

- Quality over quantity.
Thank you!

I could really dissect this thread if I weren't on mobile. However, here's my take. GRIZZLY hasn't been around for months, plus they're not really a good example. You say people with bad Internet don't notice... Did you ever stop to think it's YOUR Internet? I play from the US and I get a stable 90-100ms, every day. When I started playing I had 140 with spikes, now it's stable (minus the occasional server spike, maybe once every few hours). Server cap would be dumb, considering the amount of players already on the server. Why should people not be able to raid because some guy is leveling his level 5 priest? The entire argument you've posted is very easily countered, and presents a ton of flaws.

I can log on Feenix servers / live right now and see the difference - No, it's not my internet.
Also try and log on the PTR and play around a little, not sure if you'll feel a difference being US though.

Obviously if they can fix the delay that would be cool but they defintally should add a cap for the main realm(PvP)

The delay has nothing to do with latency, it happens when the server pop reaches around 6.5k. Log in during off hours when the pop is lower and you can feel a huge difference in the quality of play.

Well if your guild has agreed to log in 3 hours b4 raidtime(yeah that's how the ques are going to be) why not just switch your raiding times to 3 hours earlier? no peaktime, no lag.

You can't notice delays with a slow brain.

I doubt it's just the population since it sometimes happens with less than 5k. I guess it's related to the number of guilds raiding BWL/specific Encounter at the same time.

im from east coast US and get 120-140 average ping with like 1 second delay during EU times, its pretty much unplayable for any pvp gameplay
