Phasing to get away

[Maladàth-crushridge]

Anyone else tired of fighting someone just for them to abuse the system to take a que, or get an invite to go to a different shard just to get out of a fight. And a lot of times if you just wait a couple of minutes you will see them back with a deserter debuff from the dungeon/pvp instance they just left. Can we please do something about this.

This topic definitely needed a new thread…

Phasing and warmode

So I appologize if this has already been mentioned. While I’m sure both sides (if able, do) take advantage of abusing the game mechanic of phasing in warmode invasions. In stormsong valley invasion horde players wisely use this phasing in shatterfall pass ganking and accumulating honor and then crossing back and forth over the phase line disappearing when the pressure gets hot. After they’ve achieved a bounty on their head they sit and hide behind this mechanic, showing up on the map but nowhere…

Players phasing out during combat isn't engaging or fun

Almost every fight I get into with someone who is about to die takes a que or phases to a different shard upon accepting invite through lfg. You can’t take a flight path while in combat, why should this be any different.

Stop people abusing CRZ and phasing to avoid ever dying

Seriously. People just keep doing the same annoying shxt over and over again and they can’t even be punished because they just instantly phase out, wait for cooldowns and do it again. End this cancer.

Phasing abuse to dodge WPvP

A lot of players recently seem to have worked out how to do this, to the point where most alliance I see disappear in any fight they are losing in WPvP in the middle of combat. Can anyone shed any light on how they are doing this? I know there's limitations on phasing in other ways, so it's a real mystery how they are managing this. It just seems like an exploit, especially now that maybe 90% of the people I see are doing it. I'm not saying it's just one faction either, but it's certainly very …

People phasing while in pvp combat

I've been noticing this more and more as I've been killing people in warmode. It seems to happen 99% of the time when either they're about to die or are losing in pvp that the people I am engaging in combat stop for a second and then phase (as if they are joining a group to get out of the combat situation). If this is the case that is 100% unacceptable. Someone in pvp combat toggle should not be able to phase while engaged in combat,

[Maladàth-crushridge]

have they done anything about it? No, then ok

[Nomak-spirestone (Nomak)]

Because it’s not a problem. With all of the things that could potentially be fixed, this is your priority?

So what if a person phases while losing a fight? What is the actual impact that adversely affects the game? Are people going to stop subbing because every now and then someone escaped a corpse run?

I think most of us agree it’s cheesy, but it’s not a big deal in reality. There are much bigger things on Blizzard’s plate than this.

[Maladàth-crushridge]

well it’s annoying when people pick a fight see they are losing so they abuse a system to get away, but I dont expect a bubble hearthing pally to get it

bubble hearthing pally to get it

Someone’s jealous. WAIT is that a… Priest!! Oh sweet mother of bacon RUN!!!

[Nomak-spirestone (Nomak)]

Sure it’s annoying, but how often does it happen? “Oh no, I didn’t get the HK and that extremely valuable honor!”

bubble hearthing pally

My, what an original and clever insult you’ve concocted there. Totally validates your point of view.

[Maladàth-crushridge]

fairly often

[Irisse-maelstrom]

It’s starting to happen really often, at least among Horde in RP shards - probably more than half the time last night.

Granted, those guys are the ones on the receiving end of the mechanics that tend to unbalance the RP shards against them.

[Maladàth-crushridge]

no i have a paladin, never bubble hearthed in pvp. Also as an enchanter I get a bubble hearth anyway, still don’t use it

[Snerflebutts-stormrage]

world pvp has always been about who can cheese the most, this is just the new armament in an ever-evolving battle.

[Onamah-aegwynn (Onamah)]

What exactly do you think is being abused to phase out?

Battleground, arena, LFR, or dungeon queues? Those take time to pop, sometimes, a long time. If that’s your problem, tough.

Now, phasing between realms/shards due to grouping in world content is another thing entirely. With all the grouping addons that exist, the game shouldn’t allow players currently in combat to phase from each other if they don’t teleport to an instanced area.

[Irisse-maelstrom]

My guess is that the most common technique is to queue for a world elite. Those groups are by default created as auto join, so it only takes a few seconds to get in.

[Dosao-bonechewer (Dosao)]

That does not phase you … AFAIK

It’s probably skirmish … they pop every 2 min

[Percivall-sargeras (Percivall)]

We had no luck with the phasing last night.

[Dosao-bonechewer (Dosao)]

Did we even try ?

It was not that bad yesterday maybe because I had yourself and heretic with me . But I have had assaults last up to 1 hour when trying to do solo .

[Irisse-maelstrom]

It’s probably skirmish … they pop every 2 min

Maybe on Horde they do. That might explain why this seems to be a more preferred tactic for Horde, instead of the typically Alliance tactic of selectively using war mode.

[Dosao-bonechewer (Dosao)]

Maybe on Horde they do.

What’s the skirmish times on alliance side ??

[Percivall-sargeras (Percivall)]

Just the one time when we reformed the group. I did have a blast last night. We will have to get together more often.

I guess you are the guy who gleefully slaughters opposing faction members 5v1 and since you generally “lose” 1v1s, etc, you really cherish each and every "easy"kill you can get

Cool story bro; sounds like this is a MASSIVE problem. Ok maybe not
