Lone Wolf - Ashenvale Event is completely broken. People getting layered after bosses dies and even’t cant be completed.
Let me try and make Abrakastabrå’s comments a bit more comprehensive.
Last night on Lava Lash, around 9:05 pm server time, the Alliance team had just beaten the three Horde LTs and was en route to the Leader. We had probably around 42 minutes remaining on the event. All of a sudden, most of us were layered out of the active event layer into a layer where the event was completed and the percentage was something around 10% to 8%. Note it was NOT at a successful event completion. The Horde side was something like 1 of 3 LTs killed, so they did NOT beat us to completion.
I don’t believe layering should happen once the event is triggered. I hate getting layered out at 100% / 95%, but I can kind of get it. You are trying to balance out the fight. However, once the event goes live and I become an active player, layering should cease entirely for me. Whether or not it is a close fight, a waffle-stop, or I am getting my tookus handed me, I should be able to stay where I am until the event resolves.
What I would probably do, if I were a savvy developer, is add a flag to a character that is set either once the Ashenvale fight begins or is triggered once the same flag that goes “Hey - you tagged an LT, you get reputation when it dies!” that the system checks before choosing to layer me.
All that being said, I enjoy Season of Discovery! I’ve been having a great time.
If you aren’t in a raid it seems you just keep getting transferred to whatever Ashenvale is still going, it also seems that in some layers the bosses get bugged to be immune
Today I’ve been in two ashenvales and we have to wait for the timer to run out
