Have been trying to do this what feels like forever and I just come in with a second to short :( my latency is about 550-600ish I have disabled addons,turned all setting to the lowest, sound off even scrolled my view so that all i see is the ground....seems like i am buggered, anyone with a latency similar to mine been able to complete it?
 
Yea I also had the same problem with the "love is in the air" rockets and the lunar rockets...I managed to get the lunar festival firecracker achieve, setting off in the 30 seconds, that wasn't a problem at all. But after trying for almost an hour on Sunday with the other lunar rocket achieve, trying every which way imaginable...my gm from my guild logged onto my account and did it for me (not the most ideal way, but those were the only achieves i couldn't get for the title) we had a lengthy chat about the lag and how it really sucks...doesn't seem to be anyway around it really...for now.

Yes I have an unshaped account and no i don't use any of those lower ping apps. :)
 
My latency is about the same and I managed to do it in Dalaran without any problems. I did it on Sunday morning so it wasn't too busy.

Try doing it in a city that doesn't have many visitors. Exodar or Darnassus if you're alliance. I'm not sure about the quiet Horde cities but I think Thunderbluff and Silvermoon tend to be quiet.

Just a note that there has been problems with latency lately to WoW servers. AFAIK, it's nothing to do with the connections since everybody lags around the same time. I found it most notable in WG after a couple of minutes, but it also happens in Dalaran, just not as severe. For me, Darnassus seemd lag-free, or low enough to not be noticable.

And I think you meant The Rocket's Red Glare
 
I did quite a bit of reading why I wasn't able to do it quick enough, had it all keybinded and spamming like crazy (my poor mouse and keyboard!) was in Exodar and it was early morning for me, and still couldn't do it. (I really do feel like i gave up by having my gm do it for me, but then again why should lag stop me from getting my violet proto-drake :p)

I suppose everyone will have a different turnout. Hope you get it tho :)
 
Do it in IF, and set it to a shortcut on your castbar. Spam it and it will cast each time it's cooled down. Did it with a relatively poor latency as well. :)
 
Yeah, like everyone else has said do it with a keybind. Clicking the mouse is just too slow.
 
yeah I keybound mine and it worked fine on 600ms lag.
 
YaY!!! managed to eventualy do it tried every horde city and landed up completing it in Dala-lag (cant believe it) very happy puppy here :D
