Phasing is now broken

We’re seeing players running around attacking “nothing”. They’re not in our phase but we see them attacking mobs in their own phase.

In Redridge, I’m entering the cave to kill Incinerator Gar’im, and the cave now has a phase wall. Entering the empty cave phases me where I see a dozen Alliance attacking nothing, and then I aggro the boss and get phased into a full layer of respawns.

It was better before maintenance today. I’d take slightly empty realms over being griefed by poor phasing.

Happened to me with hogger yesterday. In fact, I partied up with someone and then couldnt help them because I was watching them fight ghosts. They were also not aggroing the mobs I was seeing. I had to log off and log on to be phased in the correct phase.

Another instance I went to trade with someone in SW and we were on different phases indefinitely so couldnt interact. I had to log off.

What is this garbage? Feels like Im touching bloodstains in a Dark Souls game.

Perhaps. If this is the tech theyre using in retail, it really explains why the game feels dead despite being such high pop.

That’s probably one component of it.

Yep i saw this in a underground area near brill.

It was bad.

Very confusing and janky.

It needs to be fixed.

From what i saw it’s cave issue mostly - trogg cave in the east of dun morogh, caves at the south of loch modan, cave at the east of redrigde where blackrock orcs are, etc (and also cases above are also mostly caves, except the hogger one)

They did announce a temporary increase in spawn rates until the expected time that lower level characters thin out.

I’m wondering if the ‘tech’ they utilized for this increase is what is causing the phasing-appearing issues.

This is terrible, I can’t tell which mobs are aggro to other people or me, or who I will aggro if I get within aggro range. Nothing is accurate. Had this problem in the naga caves in auberdine.

I have lost almost my entire playing time today to terrible phasing issues in Silverpine Forest. I run all the way back to my body and Rez with what looks like 50 players standing around me, some directly on top of mobs, yet as soon as I rez all the mobs aggro to me and kill me again. Its completely broken.

We had a short hiccup on our layer in Goldshire, and then all of a sudden, murlocs from many layers were in ours, in some kind of layer invasion. Craziest thing. On that little triangle island, there were about 60 murlocs. Never seen anything like it.

Just had something like this in a cave in the Barrens. i was all alone and out of the blue people spawned in everywhere killing stuff that I couldn’t see and that i could see and not attack. Needless to say I died to this crap. not enjoyable to have to run back across the map for it to happen againm

Does blizzard even care? This is an epic fail
