Still think layering will be gone by phase 2?

Layering: Few Weeks or Phase 1

For all the people saying that Blizzard never promised they’d remove layering after a few weeks Timestamp: 6:00: We’re going to continue that process over the first few weeks, till eventually we will collapse down, and we promise we will do this a few weeks in, to a single world per realm, no sharding, none of that going forward. Then the bit that gets the wrong attention. We know that needs to happen before we do something like turn on the World Bosses for example. When we have Kazzak …

All the relevant information is in here.

[Gullione-blackrock]

Then I stand corrected…back to my pit of misery

[Orodroth-alexstrasza (Orodroth)]

Just resubbed

[Cryodemic-malganis]

After how long?

[Piddy-uther (Piddy)]

The promise was. No layering by phase 2.

I fully expect layering to be gone in P2. Layering is the just in case we don’t know mitigation system to handle the tsunami of “what-if” that’ll surround Classic launch, a system that is in a unique position compared to other games and such.

By P2 they will have better, more accurate data on traffic, realm use, population balance, etc. etc. so that they can make better long term decisions.

At P2 that will be their opportunity do roll those out.

Right now? They don’t know anything. None of the current data is valid beyond “boy that’s a lot”, which is not helpful.

[Orodroth-alexstrasza (Orodroth)]

Not as long as I’d have liked.

[Cryodemic-malganis]

Ha ha, same here.

[Dokta-gurubashi]

Yeah I do. They cant have world bosses with layering. If the realms crash (Herod, Faerlina, Whitemane, Pagle lol) then thats what you get for rolling on a Full.

[Jezalik-wyrmrest-accord]

Yeah…with the pop on Herod/Faerlina it’s looking like they are going to have layering past phase 1.
I can be wrong and people may drop off but that is how it’s looking atm.

[Piddy-uther (Piddy)]

Yeah…with the pop on Herod/Faerlina it’s looking like they are going to have layering past phase 1.

Funny, if you read the comments, folks WANT the queues and pain and crush of an overwhelmed realm. “Die, layers, die!” they shout, pitch forks in hand.

“If it’s not lagging, it’s not Vanilla!” read the T-shirts.

When P2 hits, the folks on the high-pop realms are probably going to have some hard choices to make.

I think this will include the majority of the realms. I think Blizz has underestimated the demand

Need to pick a proper scotch to sip while i watch that and play while they’re sitting in line.

I always recommend the Glenfiddich 15yr. I even prefer it to their 18 and 21yr offerings. It’s very good value (IMO).

If you’re more of a peat-head, try Jura… I think Destiny was the one I had. Outstanding whisky for those who like a LOT of flavor.

I’m also a fan of Suntory Hibiki Harmony.

And now my mouth is watering…

[Velquez-moon-guard]

They will. I’ve yet to be proven wrong on that. You will see.

[Eloraell-moon-guard]

I’ve yet to be proven wrong on that.

You’re yet to be proven right, you mean.

[Enrik-wyrmrest-accord (Enrik)]

Then they get long queues.

I don’t see the problem.

[Kainzo-aggramar]

Definitely won’t be gone.
Faerlina will be a sh*t show too.

[Ohshiftson-area-52]

Imagine the complete s-show that’s going to erupt on these forums when the people who are so adamantly anti-layering and rolled on Faerlina get put into 8k+ queues.

Better 8k queues than layering. /shrug
