Just had an interesting battle; southern barrens into thousand needles… mostly rogues, they would layer and phase in/out at will just by crossing the border.
Any time we would start to kill one, they would just run north and phase out, drop combat, then stealth and phase back in after getting heals (they had healers on the other side) and attempt another gank at the lift. If we chased them, we would be in a different phase so we couldn’t hunt them down.
Its strait up broken. Makes me wonder how assaults in/out of a city is going to work and be exploited.

layering absolute dog, i think it would be ok if layering only occured in inns and citys maybe but randomly getting layered off especially in fights or when chasing somone over a zone line.

Yeah the zone line layering is unbelievably scuffed.

this is a major imersion breaking and pvp frustration that that must be fixed, people need to keep this post alive so it gets attention, this isnt a post where people will post alot of responses in because there arent things we can suggest. so post whatever!

Yea it’s trash. They should make it so you cannot layer hop so many minutes of you’ve fought another player. You’re locked to that layer otherwise

I like that idea, pvp locks you to a layer for x mins even in zone transitions

It’s going to feel very disorienting if you’re told of a group fight happening somewhere, go to that location to join, and see nothing because you’re layered incorrectly. Even if you’re layered with friends or your guild, if the battle consists of randoms then I don’t see how layering isn’t going to be splitting up at least some component of what should be a shared experience. This is the biggest factor in making me consider avoiding the PvP ruleset in Forever altogether.

Blizzard needs to prevent layering in combat or when there’s an enemy faction nearby. Or you manually choose a layer but can only swap them in major cities.
cities should all be one layer at the very least

Whatever the fix is, it NEEDS to be fixed. Layering has ruined world PVP on multiple occasions.
