Quote:MH is the worst. You have 25 people, hoards of opponent NPCs and since that's not enough, you have craploads off friendly NPCs too. Add in all the AoE and associated spell effects and it's a complete recipe for buckling systems that perform adequately in literally every other location in the game.
It's a fun place, but overall not particularly good game design to have such a performance delta between encounters.
See I'm trying to figure out why SSC had the worst framerates of any instance for me (this was pre 3.02 since I haven't raided in 3.0). MH was no worse than being out in the world for me most of the time, but SSC was typically a 2-4 FPS zone. Most other places were 15-20, 5 mans were usually in the 30+ area. But it still felt like and FPS does at 60+ with the exception of SSC. My guess is something with the water, but SSC was teh suck for FPS most of the time.
