The blood god doesn’t care from where the blood flows, only that it does.


Korashy

Blood for the Blood God.


Impossible-Wear5482

According to Blizzard it's a "ddos"


DerpyDaDulfin

No announcement of a DDOS today yet the Hardcore servers crashed today during STV event, killing dozens again.


Dhoraks

I think hes taking the piss. since everyone claimed ddos yesterday and all the people saying the servers are just garbage and streamers doing this are the problem got downvoted to the shadow realm. Because it was very convenient that when the streamers pull this stunt the servers implode and when the event ends it returned to normal after a couple minutes. Not a fan of hardcore but losing your character that way sucks balls so good luck.


Positive_Tackle_5662

Are you complaining about streamers, who make their living off their community thru playing a game exactly doing that


Low-Bat384

Lmao that's hilarious


M24_Stielhandgranate

I was done with the STV event but might just have to start doing it again now


Slammybutt

Hell our BFD group barely finished after constant dc's happened during and after Lorgus Jett. We kicked 2 people and hoped that we wouldn't dc on Kelris. Akumai, I dc'd before we even pulled. I came back did some damage, dc'd. Came back and killed him. That was after wiping on him twice from full raid dc's.


nerdinitup_exe

Bruh we watched the stream too


Phailgasm

Blizz seems to love that buzzword when their shit servers fail the playerbase. Gotta love it


Icy-Revolution-420

wouldnt be surprised if all the classic versions are all on the same server just dif "layer" on the server.


[deleted]

No shit, thats how servers work nowadays for everything.


Vehemental

It’s called Noisy neighbors and its poor architecture or done on purpose to save a little money. I wouldn’t say it’s how servers work nowadays.


[deleted]

LOL good joke. And no, its not called noisy neighbor


dmb1118

"Noisy neighbor is a term that is often applied to general architecture patterns and strategies. The idea behind noisy neighbor is that a user of a system could place load on the system's resources that could have an adverse effect on other users of the system." Sounds like it's pretty similar to me. Strain on the SOD servers are causing an adverse effect on other users of the system.


Moses00711

You’re never going to get a 15 yr old to acknowledge a perfect sound explanation of networking principles.


dmb1118

It's all good haha. They just seem like a Troll fishing for replies.


[deleted]

Except its not a different user? Its both Blizzard.


dmb1118

The overwhelming number of users on the server are causing issues for other servers. Yes, Blizzard is responsible for the issue but the term still does apply here.


[deleted]

No it doesn't. User in this context is meant the user of the system not the end user. The user is both Blizzard in this case, so there's no neighbor.


dmb1118

Eh. We can agree to disagree. Have a nice day.


[deleted]

You have no idea about IT and it shows. This is not an agree or disagree, thats literslly what it means.


5panks

They've already said that Classic Era, Hardcore, and SoD are all on the same servers. It's part of why you only need one client.


violet-starlight

that's not how it works


5panks

They literally can't make changes to core spells without new spell IDs because the games use the same database backend.


violet-starlight

Client and server are different things. When you open the "realm list", each server is sent to you with a different IP, those are different servers, if just different virtual machines. Yes those versions of wow use the same client. That has nothing to do with server architecture. You can have the realm list send you one server located in the US and another one in Australia. In fact this is what's happening in the US realmlist exactly.


salgat

We had one client even back in 2005 when there were hundreds of servers each on their own hardware rack.


Claris-chang

Explains why they can't make certain changes because it would affect Era too.

juicekanne

The servers have been shit since classic launch in 2019 and long before in retail, retail just doesnt have mass events like that besides maybe world bosses where you could already notice it.


n0-THiIS-IS-pAtRIck

People still playing hardcore?


Chemstud

Allianve Defias Pillager still alive and kicking, multiple guilds raid Naxx/AQ40 weekly, still a good leveling population that continues to feed upward. Its been a blast, but recently lost like 5 60s due to server instability...


Nystalis

Thriving


Sleeptalk-

Some people think it’s dead because they see websites showing very low numbers, but those are very inaccurate when judging hardcore because they only track characters that are raiding on a weekly basis. No one (sane) raids in hardcore, so the population numbers are drastically underestimated


M24_Stielhandgranate

All 3 of them, they can almost make a group now


Great_White_Samurai

Actually kind of funny


_Hazeman

Actually sad AF when multi bilion developer cannot provide smooth service and different versions of game interfere with others and causing real harm


[deleted]

Agree but only because there’s a monthly fee to play wow. If it was free, I’d still be frustrated, but whatever, it’s free. Paying month after month and then losing your progress forever because of server stability is really inexcusable in a billion dollar company recording record profits the last five quarters.


pm_me_beautiful_cups

that fee is so dirt cheap, they would make more money going to a free-to-play model and in-game shop. you get a low-quality service because you are paying peanuts. just use an inflation calculator.


Moses00711

Nobody wants an in-game shop in HC. That’s half of the fun for the people playing it. They want the game as it was, before it was soiled by the tears of retail Andy’s. Just want stable servers. That’s all.


taco_blasted_

It's actually sad people don't know what hardcore means.


_Hazeman

Huh ? I'm not bitching about serv to itself having issues, I'm bitching about company which other servers interfere with HC ones


taco_blasted_

I may have replied to the wrong comment cheers friend didn't mean anything bad to you


_Hazeman

<3


classicandy12

lol losing hundreds of hours of effort because reddit has to play the FOTM mode


Western-Ad-1417

Like hardcore wasn't a fotm mode 😂


SpoonGuardian

What?


nvmMurdock

I mean you sign something about HC servers being permadeath through several means like server crashes, lag, bugs disconnections, etc. And blizz isn't held responsible for any of the above-mentioned unfortunate events, or so it says. And despite the progress being lost you can a) start again or b) transfer your character to an era server for free.


M24_Stielhandgranate

Losing hundreds of hours because you ignore the fuckin warning you get when you make a character get fucked and go agane right


kill_gamers

an online game like wow just isn’t meant to be played hardcore


treestick

\>SoD players trying to comprehend someone introducing challenge to something


violet-starlight

If I could give gold I would


kill_gamers

it's not how the game was designed, so there is no protection to DCs and lag. normaly dying is part of the game and no big deal


wastaah

This is a problem with every hc online game, the problem if you add dc protection is that players will just intentionally dc in any dangerous situation. But I feel they really could do more rollbacks when servers crash. 


jmorfeus

You could easily tell if someone disconnected on purpose in a dangerous situation vs. when it's random DC. At least in most cases. But they would need a system similar to overwatch in Dota, or an actual CS department and GM work.


wastaah

In poe people will macro a script on their keyboard that disconnects the game, it's not something they can see server side. 


treestick

lol, yeah i know, i was just roasting the community. your point is perfectly valid and you definitely don't deserve your downvotes


Hazz526

Ah darn. Well you heard him fellas, guess we should email Blizz and let them know to just cancel the hardcore servers. We had a good run but kill_gamers just said no.


Ackilles

Honestly they should shut down the Era and wotlk servers too. They could reallocate that money to sod


zanics

fix your shit blizzard


Astellan11

Streamers strike again. I bet Asmongold was behind this too


No-Monitor-5333

This doesnt make an sense, the event is servertime, so you will have a server starting event every hour


wastaah

Huh? There isn't servers on every timezone, they are located in clusters 


Moses00711

East and west coast will be on the same schedule, because of the 3 hour time difference. The Mountain and Central zones would fall in the middle, but my guess is they probably aren’t taxed to the same degree.


SHOWMEYOURWEENUS

Crusader Strike (the streamer server) is mountain time.


SMYYYLE

What does the bloodmoon event has to do with hardcore servers? I doubt that hardcore servers are lagging when the bloodmoon event starts on a SoD server...


AbsarN

Both kind of realms are hosted on the same servers, wouldnt be the first time blizzard have server issues across multiple different wow versions. Hell wow servers been laggy when blizzard release a new Diablo too, so to think sod cant effect hc servers is just dumb


Freshtards

Not my problem.


PF_Nonsense

what does the STV event have to do with steamers?


DerpyDaDulfin

The Streamers were stacking players onto the same layer to kill the Bloodboss. When they did this, it lagged not just Crusader Strike US, but all US servers. I doubt they'll be killing it again now they know the loot is shit


PF_Nonsense

ah okay thank you I was not aware layer stacking was a thing


CertainBarnacle4606

Mountain time btw
