Layering is World of Warcraft’s answer to open-world overcrowding. The MMO can get fairly busy in sure areas, notably on the launch of huge occasions like WoW Traditional’s return to the Burning Campaign this week, and separating individuals out into varied layers ensures issues do not get overly chaotic.
Nevertheless, the thought is that when you’re in a bunch then you need to all be put into the identical layer robotically; not with the ability to see the individuals you are enjoying with relatively breaks the entire expertise, in any case. Sadly, it has been a little bit damaged since launch.
“For the final 24 hours, we have been conscious of and dealing to unravel a number of points affecting gamers who kind events aspiring to play on the identical layer collectively,” group supervisor Randy ‘Kaivax’ Jordan writes. “As we speak, we deployed some adjustments that we predict helped the state of affairs, and we’re persevering with to have a look at each report we obtain to hopefully discover extra changes or fixes that we are able to make.”
Jordan does warning, nevertheless, that you just should not attempt to drive the difficulty. “In the event you do not see your get together after strolling via the Darkish Portal, we strongly advocate that you just keep on one aspect of the portal and don’t frequently stroll forwards and backwards via the portal. We have observed gamers doing this and it seems to make you more and more unlikely to get on the identical layer!”
It is actually tempting to only try to consistently refresh the world till you arrive in your required layer. However it sounds as if, for now at the least, this could truly trigger extra confusion for the system that allocates you a spot. Jordan says Blizzard is “creating a repair for this explicit situation and we anticipate to implement it subsequent week, after thorough testing.” For now, you will simply should go about your small business whilst you await it to resolve.
