I recently got to Wysteria (Yaaaaay, Go me, Go me, Go me) But when I try to battle goblins and everyone joins in to help, I experience high amounts of lag, followed by a disconnect (It seems to like it when I start my meteor spell ) . I don't want to keep my friends battling alone. :( I believe this is caused by the small streets and excessive animations. Is anyone else having this problem? I don't really want to be the person who always leaves after starting a battle...
Yes, I had the same issue when Wintertusk came out. The increase in "activity" within the same zone is just about as much as my graphics card can handle (although I don't get disconnected). As the "newness" of the zone wears off I experience this problem less and less. However, there are spells (like you mentioned) that no matter how much activity goes on in the street will cause a minor hiccup when I'm travelling down the sidewalk. Like if I encounter a battle in Marleybone and Meteor Strike is used, I experience a slight freeze for half a second.
