Blizzard EntertainmentWoW Shadowlands: Chains of Domination Patch 9.1 lag
While millions of players are rejoicing that the long awaited expansion has finally hit our screens, others are experiencing some lag issues that make tackling the hellish demons of Torghast look like a walk in the park.
In response to Blizzard’s official tweet announcing that Chains of Domination had finally been released, angry fans have taken to the comments after experiencing in-game issues.
“The S**T LAG once again,” writes one irritated player. “You get to stage nine, then disconnected to start all over again. Then you make it to stage two then disconnected to start all over again.”
The SHIT LAG once again. YOu figure by now Blizzard will know. But like fucking always, they blow it. You get to stage 9 then dc’d to start all over again. Then you make it to stage 2 then dc’d to start all over again. This is ridiculous.

Another fan encountered a similar issue, noting that “I got to stage eight and then got disconnected and when I reconnected with my character I’m back at Oribos with all my progress gone!”

A final commenter praised the game’s changes, but notes that “the only thing I faced was massive lag in the Ardenweald scenario.”
The only thing I faced was massive lag in the Ardenweald scenario… so I hopped on my mage and did Torghast. Actually like the changes, but still don’t like running it for the millionth time.

While the vast majority of players seem to be unaffected, this is a disappointing start for many considering how highly anticipated the expansion has been. Hopefully Blizzard implement a fix sooner rather than later so that we can enjoy the next chapter of the Shadowlands saga.
