Blizzard Entertainment is "dedicated" to understanding and resolving lag issues in World of Warcraft's Sanctum of Domination raid. A "burst of lag" that occurred during phase one of the Sylvanas Windrunner encounter, in particular, has resulted in a slew of complaints from players.
Aside from the initial burst of lag in the encounter, the developers are "diagnosing" reports of lag in "almost every" phase of the fight. However, they have not yet been able to reproduce the lag in a testing environment.
The first season of PvP arenas in World of Warcraft TBC Classic began only nine weeks ago, but fans are already preparing for season two to launch.
When TBC was active in the mid-2000s, the expansion's first arena season lasted approximately 20 weeks. And when TBC Classic was announced, developers anticipated that the season would follow a similar schedule.
However, in an interview with World of Warcraft PvP streamer Venruki during The Burning Crusade Classic Arena Tournament, Classic's lead producer Holly Longdale stated that season two would be released sooner than originally anticipated. Instead of having to wait until Black Temple, players would get a fresh start with season two during Phase Two.
Because Blizzard decided to end season one earlier than originally planned, Longdale stated that the team increased the amount of Arena Points players would receive for the remainder of season one and the transition into season two. Additionally, Blizzard will lower the cost of rewards for the season prior to the start of season two.
With that in mind, we can make a conservative prediction that Phase Two and Arena Season Two will be released within the next four to six weeks. Depending on how well the testing goes, we can expect to see that content within the next month.
