Well it looks like Blizzard is still using phasing. I hate it and quit playing for over a year because of it. You see herbs and minerals go over to them and then either can’t gather them or have the disappear right in front of you because some phased player that you can’t see has tagged it or gathered it. I think that truly sucks big time.
Using the /who command has now become worthless.
Blizzard needs to stop this, it takes away from gathering big time.

It has in the past, and did this morning. I saw two mithril nodes vanish right in front of me.

That wasn’t added until Cataclysm and isn’t implemented here. What you’re seeing instead is the really small draw distance in this client not showing the player using the node until you’re close.

I was right at the node
definitely not how it works but okay.
i’d make sure you are posting in the correct wow version…
I think I can count twice where I’ve had this happen to me. Its also only ever been one way (only phased once) so I’m pretty sure it was due to being layered, either another one going up or coming down.
Its defiantly not retail where you walk up, it disappears and it reappears when you walk away again.
LK Classic.
There is no phasing in Wotlk Classic save for the DK Starting Zone and Northrend.
And I suppose the Wrathgate version of UC yeah?
But beyond that, there’s no phasing in the Old World.
There IS layering, but layering doesn’t work like that afaik. Each layer is its own separate copy of the world where nodes can spawn independent of one another. What you encountered was some sort of graphical error it sounds like.
Will layering tell me that the node has been tagged and cannot be looted with no player there? I just remember Blizzard telling me that it was all due to Phasing before.
It shouldn’t, no. Each layer should have its own mining nodes independent of each other. They don’t share nodes or spawns.
More likely, you encountered a bit of lag or a glitch or something akin to that.
I will say, if this happened to you just today… well, servers are down for emergency maintenance for a reason right now. You might have encountered the game literally breaking down around you before they had to shut the servers off.
This has happened several times over the past week since I started LK Classic.
Ah, then I have no clue what’s happening to you. Might be your internet connection?
I’ve been mining religiously over the past two weeks myself to make gold for things like Epic Flying and Dual Specialization. I’ve put in around 6-9 hours on some days, treating it like a full-time job.
Not once have I encountered a node that said it was ‘tapped’ and couldn’t be looted, across what must be hundreds if not thousands of nodes I’ve mined.
I gather often, mostly flowers, this has never happened to me. Maybe you are lagging or something.
Can confirm. This happened to me, the ore just disappeared as I was walking to mine it.
Thank you for your reply. There is no lagging issue here, on high speed ethernet.
