not sure if its an bug but it seems like half the people i run into are PVP flagged coming into LFD. Pretty annoying as a paladin healer because half the time when i go to heal someone, they are flagged and it won’t activate beacon on the tank.
Can’t they just disable PVP when you queue/accept invite to an LFD instance?
It’s not a bug, people are just too dumb to understand how PvP flagging works. Just suffer through the first boss, then leave and requeue.
-players playing on pvp servers are automatically pvp flagged if they enter any Contested Territory which is everywhere in northrend outside dalaran (Once they enter dalaran or maincity they need 5min to be unflagged)
-players who enter bg’s get flagged as well and need to spend 5min away from pvp combat and not being in any Contested Territory Zone.
-players who type /pvp get flagged forever until they type /pvp to toggled it off which requirefive minutes.
Everyone even those on pve servers should just type /pvp & flag themselves forever, then you won’t have problem not getting players buffs/totems/gamma buff effects from group members.
Or just let them die
#Nevernotflagged
Blizzard couldn’t be bothered to make PVP flags drop when you enter a dungeon. This has been an issue since the start. It’s only gotten bigger now since more players go directly from BGs into dungeons with RDF. You also have players from PVP realms, which are flagged everywhere, grouping with players from PVE realms.
Blizzard could have fixed this crap long ago. Make PVP flags drop the second you enter a dungeon. If the realm is PVP, simply reflag when the player runs outside. This isn’t complicated.
It does not seem like it would be very hard nor take very long to simply disable PVP flag buff in dungeon/raid instances. Sure there is the very small chance of using it to cheese your way out of combat but that scenario is so limited I can’t imagine it actually being a worthy consideration.
I think you hit the nail on the head here. LGD is pulling from both PVP and PVE realms. Players on PvP realms are always marked PVP by default.
I’ve noticed that people who start the dungeon as PVP, correct the problem and eventually get unflagged will reflag PVP if they die and run back into the instance.
it drops off randomly whether they die or not. that’s been my exp and im the healer. i can’t determine it but it’s just random on each flagged. it takes maybe 10 mins for all flags to drop.
the system is bugged since it can’t register were pveing until randomly lol
Really does make me not want to queue.
Some people never turn off their PvP. And others come straight out of a BG into the dungeon, others are on a PvP server where they are auto flagged sometimes. NR has lots of areas that will auto flag you… Shows you are someone who just began playing the game recently. You don’t even know how PvP servers and the flagged worked from before they removed all the PvP servers and turned them all into normal ones.
