except it literally does.
when i see a message saying a city or zone is under attack, and respond and see nothing. that is an impact.
when i hear there is a huge battle going on in STV and i show up and don’t see it. that is an impact.
when i can’t interact with everyone on my server because i don’t see them all, that is an impact.
as for world bosses, even blizzard admits that each server should only have one kazzak. but go ahead and keep thinking layering doesn’t impact that.[quote=“Amideus-boulderfist, post:65, topic:300548, full:true”]
I think you’re pretty ignorant of the problems that layering solves BEYOND the queue times and it shows.

layering solves people being able to play the game. thats it.
it doesn’t solve zone crowding beyond what a normal server would have, that would be any form of sharding doing that. but we don’t have sharding. which is why despite layering you see some zones with lots of people in them. raven hill was packed last week when i was there.
what else does layering solve? nothing. it literally is used to get more people to see the world without having dead servers down the line. thats it.
well guess what? blizzard put a phase 2 release limit on layering, and that clock is ticking. you can kick and scream about queues all you want but blizzard warned you AGES ago that queues would be severe when layering was removed.
specific section in question…
so good luck.[quote=“Amideus-boulderfist, post:66, topic:300548, full:true”]
You might be fine with it, a large amount of people were not. Hence why Blizzard added it.

except those people will have to face the music eventually. blizzard WILL remove layering.
