PSA: Dragon Isles currently unusable for RP purposes if all characters are not max level (BROKEN AGAIN)

[Zyretha-argent-dawn]

Since the prepatch, the Dragon Isles has default enabled for players below level 70 a form of Chromie Time style phasing that at time of writing, has not been able to be disabled.

If you plan to run any RP events in the Dragon Isles until this is fixed, everyone has to either be in the 1-69 level range or all max level or they will be hard phased apart.

This was tested and verified to affect both factions, Valdrakken and Amirdrassil. This is likely due to Dragon Isles now being the default levelling experience for The War Within, however unlike past expansions, the default levelling from 10-X did not cause you to enter a Chromie Time style phase.

Addendum to the bug - party sync doesn’t even let you see the other person. Clearly not working as intended in either state.

Repeating this on the bugs forum but likely going to catch more relevant eyes here.

Edit: Fixed it seems!

Here is hoping they actually fix this issue, given how Bel’ameth is a major RP hub and DF is going to be the previous expansion, thus mostly removing the necessity for sharding.

Would be very absurd to be unable to RP there properly due to such a bug. Thank you for looking into it Zyretha!

If nothing else, at the very least Amirdrassil should stay off Chromie Time. After all, there’s nothing relevant to leveling quests there. If you’re doing the Dragonflight questing story, it shouldn’t even appear there!

However, Dragon Isles have many more cool areas to RP in that aren’t Amirdrassil, so hopefully at the very least Chromie Time will be able to be disabled. Very weird change, if this is not a bug (considering the patch already has several bugs).

Do you have a link to the bug report post for this?

Players in the Dragon Isles below level 70 cannot interact with players at level 70

Yeah this sounds like an oversight, so hopefully at least it should be treated more like a capital rather than a zone

Ditto with Valdrakken, but this is unique behaviour since Chromie Time was introduced for a past expansion. Definitely should be reporting this, having a whole continent unusable for RP, even if you party sync seems wrong.

Bumping up, as we think this phasing issue is fixed as of today’s patch!
Take it away, Zy!

[Zyretha-argent-dawn]

Thanks, Indeed having tested it this morning by bringing in people from both factions who were level 60 while I was level 70 in Vakdrakken, it appears to be fixed. The level 60 players could see me and everyone else out in the wider city.

Looks like it’s still the case today
