Adding my bump to this. This really messes with the world for a good lot of folks, we need phasing turned off for this.
Adding my tiny redheaded penny to say that this sharding, combined with the loss of the RP hub of Dalaran, is really biting into the abilities of RPers to enjoy the game the way we like to play it.
It’s not a trivial thing to us and we’d appreciate a fix.
Please fix this. Valdrakken and Amirdrassil are both popular RP spots, and this issue prevents roleplayers of different levels from meeting and interacting.
Took a week break.
Still happening in 11.0.2.56625
I’d appreciate a bluepost at least confirming that this is a bug, that their priorities are on S1 launch issues and 11.0.5, but this is very much an issue that should be fixed before 11.0.5
Tested with several characters at 10, 45, 68, 72 and 80, across 2 accounts as of reset today on patch 11.0.2.56625 and can confirm, as per Skvala above, that this is still happening. Some response to acknowledge that this is an issue would, I agree, be very much appreciated.
I have the same problem today. Lvl 70 and lvl 19 grouped in The Waking Shores. Both says “Random Dungeon (Dragonflight)” in dungeon finder. We cannot see each other in the world, although standing in the same spot. When mouseover character icons, it says we cannot see each other because we are in timewalking.
Still an issue in 11.0.2.56647.
Am keeping an eye on hotfixes to see if anything has an undocumented or unintended fix
Sliding in to signal boost this. Still an issue.
Still an issue as of this morning in 11.0.2.56819; tested with a level 62 character and a level 71 character from my 2 accounts standing side by side - could not see each other. Please fix this or at least respond so we know someone is aware of this.
Also tested in the same version.
So I have been told that anyone who has had US time should go over to https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/i-cant-play-with-my-lower-level-family-members-stuck-in-chromie-time/1972491/21 any absolutely fill the thread with the fact they are encountering this issue
It’d be nice to get response here on EU side as well, tbh. Instead to having to go dig through US posts, and find out that apparently Blizz only answered there, and telling them to go make posts in the Bug Report forum, which we don’t even have here on EU.
Seems that it’s an issue with Chromie Time. From what I can see they added Chromie Time for the Dragon Isles but also made the Dragon Isles the main story you do without choosing a timeline like they did with BfA. Therefore anyone below 70 gets teleported into Chromie Time rather than it simply being the current timeline phase that we’re put into.
It can be fixed just by removing Blizzard removing Dragon Isles from Chromie Time correctly and it really should be, as it’s affecting people trying to do PVE and even messing with people whose friends are simply one or two levels ahead of them at the end of their main levelling experience.
Tested in 11.0.5.57171
Still an issue.
However.
The very specific circumstance of “Lower level player is marked as timewalking, higher level player is in party (not raid), and higher level player engages Party Sync” can you see each other in Valdrakken.
Have made a post on the US Bug Report section.
If anyone has a US account would be appreciated making a post there with your experiences
Just tested this out again today, and the issue is still occurring.
