I understand the need for zone layering at launch. I really do, but please remove it after it all calms down.
Those who play classic want that old time feel, seeing the same names over and over and that’s how friendships are built.
Please don’t give us CRZ, we don’t want it. We want to be able to see everyone that is in the same zone as us.
The devs have literally said numerous times that it will be gone once it is possible, with the plan of it being gone by phase 2 for sure, since layering screws with world bosses.
It’s not zone layering.
It’s continent layering.
Blizz already said they have plans to remove it before phase 2.
You didn’t need to create a thread for this.
Search function and stickies are there for a reason.
Use them.
TBF they have removed all the stickies aside from testing information posts.
Bah hum bug
I honestly had no idea.
Haha yeah I noticed that just now. Thought I had to scroll down way less to normal content than before. Saw its only 3 stickies now haha
Thanks for letting me know!
Plan of gone in a few weeks, Ion promised. Hard limit of phase 2.
I checked and these answer are in the thread everything we definitely know about classic. Lots of good info in that thread. It’s one of the stickies
Except that he should be able to give his personal opinion on this matter on this forum just like everyone else. I get some people don’t like to think or talk about this topic because they don’t agree or just cba with it, but if someone presents their particular PoV about it, who are you to say whether he should be allowed to make a thread?
Clearly he is a bit off in how layering works because it’s not just zone wide (that’s sharding), but his concerns are completely valid.
It’s feedback, worthy of a thread. Because it shows he didn’t know about what it actually does, just like many other people who don’t frequent the forums or other 3rd party info websites about WoW. The fact he didn’t know means it’s a feature of Classic currently not properly associated or announced as such in the games description. And that has to be adressed, if they decide to put it in the game.
You didn’t really read his post then. Everything he wants to happen has already been confirmed by blizzard. So yes, his opinion is accepted. No, he should not spam the forums with another thread that has been answered.
Edit: to add more. He didn’t know because he didn’t read the sticky that answers his request.
You’re getting a lot of comments saying this thread isn’t needed but it really is. Blizz first said just the starting zones for this layering and now moved it to the whole game for ‘a few months’. Despite their promises it’s not hard to see them somehow justifying keeping it in even longer. We need to remind them that we do care and keep them honest.
I have read his post, and this is the part of it that has nothing to do with the part where he simply got it wrong, which is the part that can be answered and cleared up with additional info as you’ve already done.
The fact is, he won’t be able to see other people on his server who are even in the same place he’s in at exactly the same time with layering, unless he invites them to his group. That is still a thing with layering, even if he first meant sharding.
Just like he’s not going to see all the same names everytime he plays even though he’s on the same realm, as people switch layers by grouping up with others from different layers, or will switch them when they relog.
The concern he has in the part i quoted still stands. Especially since something as game changing as this has not been properly announced as a feature of classic yet even if we’re only a short time away from release, and most players have no idea about any of this, and won’t unless it’s very obviously and properly stated by Blizzard.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Yea and I get that. Blizz hasn’t exactly won any trust rewards lately.
lol the first thing I check when I get on the forums is the stickies to see if anything new was posted.
ya I remember playing on a sever with 10,000 when the server cap was 2500 back in the day.
