I got the solution to layring.
Remove layer changing ingame. Right now if I wanna swamp layer i just call for an invite and BOOM im safe or exploiting a resource spawn. The problem: if i wanna play with my friend who is on a diffrent layer i can’t play with him. So there has to be an alternative.
You choose your realm (NoggenFogger in my case) Enter character selection screen and press ‘enter world’ here is the option to choose layer.
Noggenfogegr 1 High
Noggenfogger 2 Full
Noggenfogger 3 Low
and so on. Here you can se all avalible layers with the population on each layer. You wanna play with a friend? Just join hes layer.
when you wanna change layer you have to relog. people are going to exploite this aswell. but alot of the issues with layering today will be solved. people wont be able to dodge pvp becouse of the 20 sec relog time.
remove all layers in dungeons. They should be on seperate layers. If i play on layer 2 and my friend is on layer 3 we will get to the same dungeon. When we leave we will be back on layer 2 and 3.
would love to hear your thoughts, but by having this system layering will be much more natural and flawless. no more jumping in and out.
So when peak hours getting close and the open a new layer, and im the first one to enter that layer I am alone in the world and can node everything before it gets crowded?
If people wanted to exploit, they’d exploit. You can do the whole relog process in about 10 seconds if you’re efficient. In fact it would be easier than the current system as you could be sure you’re changing to a different layer when you get an invite.
This would only make layer hopping easier. Instead of an invite you could just relog and choose a desired layer. For example if a quest mob is heavily camped, I can check every layer within 30 second with this system.
The easiest solution would’ve been not implementing layering at all. Since they annouced it there were red flags, and these concerns were proven right during beta. At that point Blizzard should’ve said “okay, this can’t go to live”. But it did. Now all we can hope for is a phase 2 as soon as possible.
In other words, exactly the same misunderstanding some people had of layering before the classic launch. They thought layers would be like mini-realms inside of realms. Well, guess what? It carries fewer consequences to just make new realms then.
With “fixed” layers that you can’t hop between would make it so guilds would be split apart (they did input a priority for guildies to end up in the same layer, but at the same time it hasn’t prevented them being split up altogether, even without layer hopping). Friends not being in the same layer when the one the other pal is in is full and so on.
Layers were an incredibly greedy move, nothing more to it than that.
so you are saying that instead of a friend invite you to party and play together you have to do extra work to ask his layer and then go by yourself? and how is that easier?
They did and they removed the obvious bug that was happening in instances and people are still calling for that to be removed too.
The cooldown is annoying though and I don’t understand why it has to trigger while in cities. I’ve been selling enchants to people and had to wait around minutes while standing next to eachother before we were able to see and interact with eachother, even inside Orgrimmar and I’m sorry I just don’t see which nodes I could be exploiting or which PvP I’m dodging while I’m in Orgrimmar…
not realy. if they put like 10 layers on all the time. no adding, removing layers. it will be same as a regular server. with 10% population on each server. if the server can hold 50.000 players each layer should hold 5.000
let’s say ally is attacking. you jump on your lvl 60 to help denfending. when you arrive at crossroad there is no ovo going on, you then need to ask for an inv to get to the right layer, insted of been able to choose the right 1 before you arrive
