Morning

Woke up in the weeee hours of the morning to begin the fortnight of farming. Zone into Scarlet Monestary via the LFD interface, click on the pumpkin to summon and.......
WOW stops responding.

Relogin group still there, explain what happened and one of the DPS clicks the pumpkin and.......
He DC's

In fact I found going near the pumpkin caused FPS to drop like a rock. I have my video setting set medium so that I get an average of 40 fps in 10 mans, so I'm not pushing my hardware at all. I've yet to try it on the lowest of the lowest settings.

Eventually we managed to get the sucker to spawn.

Anyone else having this problem?
 
I had it happen to tanks twice this morning. Wiped with one.

btw, got the mount on my hunter this morning.

Crowley, tyvm for the patch mate :) Been kicking it since I got home :D

OT:
Logged in quick to do the HH on each of my toons. First the Druid, Tank DC'd twice trying to summon him, asked the DK to tank and I summoned him. Once he was summoned the tank could play again. I got the Pet for my first try on my druid :)

Logged My warrior, instant queue as tank and BAM hit the mount on the very first try on my warrior :D
Question: My warrior doesn't have epic flying yet, does the Horse mount do 280% if I have the epic flying trained or not?

Now to go do it on my other toons :D
 
The horse will not fly at 280% if you dont have the skill yet. That was one of the patch changes.
 
Perhaps a solution would be ask one of the dps to do the summon. Tank keeping aggro, with minimal dps until the summoner manages to relogin.

TBH I wish blizzard would just hotfix it so that the rider is spawned waiting in the gardens. As the when he is spawned all works happily,
 
This clicking on stuff in instances and raids, is annoying. Been DC'ing myself the last week each time I click on a mage table or HS-well...
 
At first I thought aha! "must be a cross realm issue", but then I re-read what you said: instances and raids
Blergh!

And mine after that! :D
 
Guys are also dcing clicking on the weapon stand to get their lance in ToC. So make sure you have one in your bag just in case. :)
 
The reigns dropped on my huntard again today. Twice in two days on a farming char. Also have it on my shaman now.
 
ok seems if you dont summon him or, dont hover your mouse over the pumkin ,you dont dc :P

got damn mount on a alt druid,never on my main sigh >.<
 
My wow just froze once i got there, so i Alt + F4 and relogin and then it was just me and the tank alone againts the horsemen the other 3 people was disconnected, but we got him 2 manned :P
 
I'm experiencing more problems with the "Transfer Aborted: Instance Not Found" error more than dc'ing on random clicks (eg Fishing bobber lol)

Ran through the Headless Horseman event on my 80's - my pally got the pet and broom, rest of my characters got nothing :(
 
How much memory (Ram) are you guys running?

I have noticed when it hangs like this that it actually consumes ALL my system memory. I think there is something in the patch creating a Memory loop?

I read up and landed up disabling my hardware mouse cursor and not hanging anymore
 
MY STORY OF AWESOMENESS :D

so last nite I went LFD for the headless horseman. got stuck on the loading screen, which pissed me off, so quit wow for about half an hour. so I logged back in, and zoned into the dungeon, and BOOM, HH is dead. I got my justice points, and the pumpkin. and what do I find in the pumpkin? but reins of the headless horseman :D got the pet last year, so not too worried about that.

much later, went to goldshire for the quests there, and Im guessing the horseman had just been killed, cos I just had to accept the quests and hand them in immediately again. win! blizzard compensating me because of loading issues so that I didnt get into raid.

now, you may all bow down and lick my toes
 
Does anyone know what is the problem when clicking or hovering your mouse over a summing "thing" Portal,health Stones, Mana Bisc" that causes the freeze in the game?
 
There are several theories as to why WoW has developed a memory leak (aka nom nom all your RAM) when mousing over certain GameObjects. It seems limited to a certain subset of GameObjects, I haven't had this problem with Mining Nodes. It seems to occur on objects that display the Cog Wheels.

The fact that it occurs only when mousing over an object and only effects the client who did the mouseover, makes me suspect maybe we'll see a patch this week.
