Think of it this way.
Pretend you play on a realm named “SkullCrusher”
But behind the scenes there are really 3 or more “SkullCrushers”
You and your friends are on SkullCrusher only in name, in actuality you may be on 1 of 3 different servers…
You wouldn’t be randomly assigned.
You’d always be playing with the same people in your layer from 0-60.
But yes, if you invite your friend to roll on your realm, they likely won’t actually be playing with you. I assume they wouldn’t be able to join your guild if on a different layer either.
It’s the result of people having a fit over sharded starting zones.
Love me some global sharding over start zone sharding
Uh think again…
You will not be playing with the same people… its random.
One auction house or three?
True, but when you sign up for BGs, dungeons or raids you will still all pool from one of the skull layers. You will still be able to group with your guildies and your friends.
Yes - and avoid the nasty guild farming people going into MC.
3 ACs Time to figure out an addon to hop around to all the Black Lotus spawns…
Sign up for dungeons and raids? There is no dungeon finder or LFR in classic.
Yes but that Rogue that was ganking you yesterday in STV… … You login to continue the fight today and hes gone… oh he is playing… he is just on another server… you may never see him again.
Community destroyed. its a terrible change for wow classic.
Just like you could in Vanilla
No need to be cute - you understand my concern. People can avoid pvp by grouping around it.
Not being cute. Being sarcastic and factual.
If you are doing them as a group or guild, you will likely have to sign up. Then go to the entrance portals and go in. If you are not in a group, you still have to find a group ( or some would say “sign up”) or go to the BG entrance and join that way.
That’s wrong according to the Q&A video I just watched. You might have to group with your friend first then invite but it would certainly be possible.
That must be where I read it wrong. I was under the impression that it was going to be more like swtor where new shards, or layers or whatever would open up as needed and close as needed based on realm population.
I didn’t say anything about BGS. I only commented on LFR and LFG. What are you going to sign up for? The way you are talking about it suggests you mean a LFG/LFR tool. Those won’t exist. If you mean in world/trade chat then be specific. These are the classic forums. You cannot be vague here.
link to the vid you watched?
I am pretty sure I can be vague wherever I choose.
