Jade Forest isn't the only starting zone in Mists. It certainly wasn't the ideal setup to reach an elevated state of mind, although I've heard reports that beta players eventually worked out a 'wisdom line' to get the quest done. Hundreds of players had to compete for the chance to meditate with him. A quest asked you to meditate with Lorewalker Cho, but Cho could only meditate with one player at a time. I suspect problems like this are part of the reason Blizzard ultimately did away with such achievements.ДЄn interesting addendum to the gyrocopter fiasco is that the original version of the Jade Forest zone - before it was taken down from the MoP beta and heavily revamped - had its own excruciating bottleneck. The issue ruined the hopes of many for a Realm First! Level 90 feat of strength. By that point, however, the damage had already been done. See the screenshot above for a nice view of it.Д«lizzard responded quickly and hotfixed the quest on launch day so that anyone on the quest would get credit for the targets.

As more and more players arrived in their gyrocopters, that number 8 pattern became a living thing, like a snake in the air made out of whirling blades. The problem was, the targets on the ships didn't respawn nearly fast enough for the hundreds of players competing for them. It was an easy quest to complete, if a bit awkward. Your copter flew in a large pattern shaped like the number 8 while you fired rockets at the ships. The quest put you behind the controls of a gyrocopter to destroy two Horde ships on the coast of Jade Forest. It was literally the first real quest that Alliance players had to complete upon arriving in Pandaria. Unleash Hell was the first quest that wasn't just 'reporting' to someone. OK, maybe Mists wasn't as bad as The Burning Crusade overall, but the ironically named Unleash Hell was still the biggest - and most dramatic - bottleneck ever caused by a single quest. I'm a touch concerned that this is going to be way worse than any other expansion.'ДЄnd this guy was totally right. I found a thread on MMO Champion from September 2012 where a poster writes, 'On Beta - everyone had to funnel through a single vehicle quest to proceed on the Jade Forest quest line. This was a problem that people saw coming. If we're talking bottlenecks, we have to start with the most infamous one in all of WoW, which also happens to be one of the most recent.

But sometimes, other problems can prohibit players from progressing on Day 1. Lag and crashes are no longer rampant during expansion launches. As we help Blizzard loosen the bottlenecks of the future, let's revisit those of the past.Д«lizzard's server tech has come a long way since the game's launch. WoW hasn't had the best track record when it comes to bottlenecks. Given that the introductory experience is completely on rails before the expansion unleashes players into its less structured zones, this is a real concern. Back in July, CM Zorbrix posted a 'targeted feedback request' about bottlenecks in the beta. For Warlords of Draenor, Blizzard is trying to be proactive about eliminating them. Wherever thousands of players try to complete on-rails content, bottlenecks are inevitable. What did the game look like years ago? Who is etched into WoW 's history?
