We've been utterly LIED to about Layering

That’s exactly what I see happening. On the other hand I DO think a lot of people will quit and have an uproar about layering if they decide to keep it in.

pretty sure there’s a blue post somewhere addressing layering stating that they were testing all forms of it and turning things on and off seeing how certain things effected layering and doing experiments with all the different layering numbers etc. hope this helps you settle down and remember layering wont be in the game come phase 2…

“Due to the unexpected popularity of World of Warcraft: Classic many realms with populations too high for a single server will have Layering remain enabled until further notice.”

I was going to say that Ion promised layering would be removed within a few weeks, and it would be a disaster for him to go back on that promise. But as you say they could remove it in a limited way and still fulfill his promise from a semantics point of view. And sadly it wouldn’t surprise me for 2019 Activision-Blizzard to pull that kind of crap. However, I will say with 100% certainty I would delete my characters, uninstall WoW and never play another Blizzard game again. I have zero tolerance with this company at this point. They break their word, I’m out.

“Due to the unexpected popularity of World of Warcraft:Classic. We have opened new realms and are offering free realm transfers off of specific high pop realms to these new realms. We will also be removing layering as phase 2 is launching and queues will be instituted at the normal population caps.”

So…what were you lied about?

“This man named Kurwen thought we’d actually spend money on new servers. Lel.”

They’ve already said they will open new servers if there is a need so…

If they waited to test it when there was thousands of people. They would
have to wait until classic was live. When you test if something is going
to work for holding a lot of people. Do you just load everyone on it
and hope it holds?

Just like they said Draenor’d be savage. So, I mean, for par, Blizzard’s not very good on doing what they say…

I dunno tons of people getting stuck on one quest and being unable to progress seems pretty savage to me. :man_shrugging:

That would be called the login queue.

Did you bother to read the post or just a troll?

Are you just spamming the thread? What does this nonsense mean? Either way, layering is complete and utter garbage.

Its in response to the person above that. Who said they said Draenor would be savage, and lied…

Layering is a means to an end. Not ideal but should serve its purpose.

Idk I feel like Draenor was pretty savage. The questing and some of the raids like blackrock foundry were awesome. The game only became garbage once you hit level 100.

Shooting the youknowwhat with my guildies in Ventrilo while waiting for log-in queues or server maintenance queues that took hours are some of my favorite memories of this game.

No, actually layering is extremely detrimental to the game. And it seems it’s more detrimental than people thought.

Except it’s not detrimental. No one will have died because of layering. No animals will have been harmed in the process. There will be plenty of people playing and forming a community regardless. While a handful of people will be complaining on the forums, things will be moving forward without them.

should also mention that it will stop the massive lag / wait for quest objectives when everyone is level 1 at the same time on release , then it can be toned down / shut off when we start to spread out more / people leave the game.
