The phasing during the Researchers Under Fire, I’ve been there while several people where active in the event , and suddenly, poof, I get phased into a silent zone where no one was there just me and the npc’s in the researcher area. no mobs attacking . I don’t bother with it anymore . There is a lot that I just refuse to deal with anymore … Wow has changed. so much since 2004.

Happened to me last night. I took it as a sign to log off and watch a movie instead.

That’s an intriguing hypothesis Opalunaiya. It kind of reminds me of the fractured goals of the player base. Some focus more on one aspect of the game: raiding, M+, pet battles, pvp, AH trading, etc. Some players want to collect all the rewards/achievements or are otherwise completionists and want to do everything to some extent. And then there’s the subset of all these groups that want the rewards from every aspect of the game without having to play or master those aspects. Giving into the demands of the latter make the game feel hollow to everyone in the other groups.
But clearly, looking through these replies, the impact of these divisions in the developers, assuming your hypothesis is correct, is resulting in a broken game. People here are saying they’d rather do other things instead.
Not sure how any of that actually relates to this topic. I was just doing Emerald Dream seed content - started at 4 am - handful of people around also helping on seeds at 4 am and bam after a seed is started and almost complete I get sharded into a shard with a bunch of Stormrage people not my connected servers at all and no seed. There was far more people on my connected server group than was in this Stormrage shard so I think the game is setting up to fill Stormrage shards. There is no need whatsoever for my connected server to ever need to be linked with Stormrage anymore - we have enough people.

I haven’t experienced a lot of these problems as of yet, but I do very often have to fly away from an NPC a ways to reset them to accept next quest or continue dialogue because the phasing breaks.

The other day, maybe last week, I was out on some island, I forget the name. Edge of Extinction? - No that’s Survivor. … anyhow. I was mount farming, unsuccessfully when suddenly a load screen appears …and this is where it gets weird.
When I finished loading I was in a VR version of my bedroom as an undead, in 3rd person… My closets had all my normal people clothes and when I looked in the mirror… It was my face but without eyes.
I’m still partially stuck here. If anyone sees this post, please send help!
I mean, what’s the rent pricing like? Could be better tbh.

I find I get “stuck” in phasing. I join a world boss group, it’s already been killed. Meanwhile it was up on my own server. I leave group, but it doesn’t phase me back to my own server/the phase I was originally in. So now I have to look for yet another group or wait for a respawn.
Yeah, sharding and phasing has been a hassle.
OOF yes. The phasing made Researchers Under Fire infuriating. I just gave up and never did it again after the first two times I got phased.

Please Blizzard fix this. It’s so annoying when you pull rare and it just vanishes. I was farming lariat and happened to me three times.

It is really getting out of hand. Been phased out of Fryakks fury 3 or 4 times over the last hour. Bar gets to 100%, Fryakk yells I’m coming for you, then bam progress bar back to zero! Did all the Suffusion camp quests, etc, and summoned the crucible mobs over, and over just to get the stupid dragon to never show up is frustrating to say the least. And Blizzards lack of response to the many threads made on this topic, either means that can’t fix it, or just don’t care about the broken phasing, sharding whatever.
