PvP Lag / Delay

[Dreez]

it's the blizzlike spell delay system
there actually is a spell delay system on retail

there also is the so called custom lag tolerance, allowing lagging players to hit from more yards than not lagging players. This compensates some of the disadvantages of lag
If there was no lag tolerance, melees would be unplayable.
If there's too much lag tolerance, melees could hit you from 30+ yards when lagging.

The current system is the best regarding the blizzlike spell delay.

However of course server lag at high population still is an issue here, which can't be circumvented as the server simply is too full. You will never get a 100% lag free server with that much population

Yeah, I know what you're talking about, but this is NOT even close to the same. I've played vanilla wow and have made the grind to rank 14.... there was NEVER this much delay on abilities for melee and ranged.

If that's the case, they should just open up more servers to lessen the load on 1 particular server.

The spell delay was slightly noticeable and there were addons which would "show" you the delay but again like I said, if rogue cheapshots you and you PVP trinket immediately and it spins for a second, then goes off.... that's just the server lagging.

This lag is not only for casts, it's on instant cast abilities for melee and ranged.

IDK what you are saying because simply strafing makes you "too far away" for melee hits. Easiest way to notice how nostalrius behaves is to just mount up. The cast time is actually over 3seconds while blizzlike system has it under 3seconds.

Shoutout to 100% mount and uncheapshottable players.

yup, there is a server lag that the 2.5k pop capped blizz servers didn't have, as mentioned above

Server have really bad lag. Awlays. Have stable 50ms always, lagging like 300ms
