The new rares on the Isle for meta achievement are tag locked, something they could have seen if they did ANY testing before releasing new content, I was spamming cobra shot for 10 minutes straight, mob popped, my shot hit immediately, and no tag, great gameplay. Apparently I have to be careful what I say since last post was removed.

If you plan on quitting, can I have your gold and tenders?
It’s because the person, now mind you I am just guessing, but the other player was flagged so it got locked out.
IMO - This is an actual bug blizzard needs to fix for the pve world.

If someone in a group tags it first then no one from the other fraction can tag it. if the first one to tag is not in a group then anyone can tag.

This appears to be a bug. Rares shouldn’t experience the tag issue.
(You’re not alone - guildies have noticed the same thing for them).
Just had this happen to me.
Edit - And again

Is it opposite faction problem or group of 5 people problem?
Either way, I do hate it.
It looks locked to 1 person & / or 1 faction.
Yeah that’s messed up.
Oh yeah it just happened again.
I plan to just wait a day or so.
Blizz must have forgotten a lot when porting this over from a BFA Island.
Would be nice if some of their employees would dogfood this content to flag issues like this immediately.
Skill issue. Click more instead of spaming forums

I bugged it in game, and on the bug forums, nothing more I can do.
So this is how this works in groups tagging rare creatures . Join a group and fudge over the other faction. What happen to cross faction? I thought that was a thing or Blizzard pulling a scheme onto players?

Cross-faction is only a thing in instanced content… The OP is talking about open-world content (rare elites on Siren Isle), so cross-faction co-op is not applicable (i.e., opposite faction in a group can turn the target’s health-bar gray meaning you won’t get kill credit).
Incorrect - Rares do not faction tag outside of War Mode. They haven’t since at least Shadowlands, maybe earlier. They do faction tag in war mode though.
The Pirate Rares are bugged - they both faction tag and group tag - meaning not only does the first faction that tags them get loot, only 5 people from that faction can tag them. (unless a group of 4 and a group of 2-4 get tags), then technically up to 8. But in most cases, 5.
The limit of 5 players exists for non-rares pretty much everywhere, which is why 4x4 farming is common, and it seems some dev accidentally applied them to the pirate rares.
Unfortunately as they’re not back in the office yet, a fix will be a bit.

The rares respawn in about 5 minutes so it’s not really a problem.
it is when there are dozens of people crowding around the rare at once.
