Spontaneous layering screwed me over multiple times and its annoying AF

Plz turn off the layer switching for no reason. literally losing quest consumables due to thatl. clensed a whipper root tuber only to be layared and have it go corrupted again. It also has happened before looting a mob and making it disappear. Also it has randomly respawned every mob in a room i cleared leading to stupid unnecesary deaths. For the love of wow turn that off.

it’s literally not for no reason though… you think your layer just swaps cause yours isn’t full or being shut down?

Maybe the solution could be addressed in on two fronts:

  • If the layer is full, existing players remain on the layer and new players will not be layered over to it. Perhaps in this case add a dialogue that specifies the layer is full and ask the other group member(s) if they would like to be moved to the layer of
  • If the layer is being retired, provide a notice that the layer will be retired in 60 seconds. This functionality works with server restarts and could potentially be adapted for layering. Edit: Alternatively, could provide a debuff that does the same thing and counts down.

Just spit-balling some potential ideas here, but would alleviate quite a few pain points players are experiencing.

Fair enough, nonetheless there has to be a solution to random layering without any sort of warning at all. If the server shuts down you get like 15 min warning, thats the least that can be implemented.

they’ve already stated that priority is given to ppl in groups for layers so if you’re solo you’re most likely getting swapped to a new layer. Time frame on a layer could work as it would work out to just bot layers which would be funny
