The map is all messed up. How could you screw the map up like this? It constantly shows people running into the mountains above Brill when they are going into SM.
It shows people in the open sea when they are on flight points.
How could you screw it up this bad. It’s hard to tell where anyone is.
I constantly see people just in the ocean or not on the map at all. The only time it’s accurate is if they’re in the same zone as you, which leads me to believe it’s the new layering junk messing it up.
It is. The number of layers you see in Nova World Buffs is wrong. They implemented “sub layers” that you can’t see. You can have two people on the same layer and not see each other.
Addons can’t see layers. It’s just guessing and it’s wrong. Blizzard said in a blue post layers is not part of the API.
That would be called “sharding” iirc.
it really is annoying because I used to love using it to see where everyone is in their journey to the dungeon. It kinda is important to have a functioning map…
It always worked before. If the addon said you are on layer 3. And someone else is on layer 3, you can see them without being in a group.
It’s only in anniversary servers with this new sharding system that it doesn’t work. It’s because of the hidden sub layers (sharding).
It was guessing. Blizzard said it’s usually wrong actually in a blue post.
It’s deriving information based on the world buff timers. It’s not like it’s just a random guess. It worked before this new system.
Agreed, this sucks.
It worked because you can hack it together, but because it’s not an exposed API it’s vulnerable to not working after Blizzard so much as blinks.
