Game feels dead and imo will die with the layers they are atm
In phase 1 plenty of life, even first week of phase 2 so much life everywhere that’s what you wanna see in a MMO
Made questing and getting runes fun, always people around to party up with
But atm last few days I wanted to get Dark rider done, figured i’ll just move to a dark rider location, people are bound to there, it’s week 2 people want their runes. But zero nothing no one anywhere to be seen, even general chat completely empty.
The layers make it feel this game is already abandoned by the players and the there just is no life anywhere. That’s what made SOD fun, people just everywhere doing all kinds of random things.
Edited cuz some apparently didn’t get this was about layers

What? Lol why would it matter if was phase 1 or phase 2? Litterally either way people wont go back to do this a second time unless theyre dojng it for a alt. Its change nothing.
You mean people arent running and standing at dark horseman spawns, a place both factions travel to ans get slaughtered when the opposite faction turn up?. Madness.
No ones gonna stand at the dark horsemans spawn points to “organically make a group”. Because ur gonna get urself corpse camped doing so.
Their all in neutral zones…
Another antisocial player that wants the game tailor made to their own needs.
Sounds more like you need to get a more friendly guild or new friends in the game lol
What are these replies lol?
Simply stating that the game feels extinct because of the layers, while in phase 1 you simply had to turn up to a rune and people where everywhere around
The fact they are in neutral zones makes no difference since I been to all 7 dark riders and didn’t see any horde or alliance so how do you get ganked if there are no players?

I agree with the topic. What ever happened with layers last few days, game feels like single player retail almost.

In an apparent stroke of brilliance, Blizzard made /1 layer specific, making it all but useless in finding players for a group content in any given zone. You have to write into /join LookingForGroup or /2 in a city because those are the only global channels. /join world also but its population differs from realm to realm.
Also on a related note, NovaWorldBuffs will show you your layer after targetting a guard type npc, and a weakaura called BalastLayer will let you automatically be invited to a party by a player on a different layer if they also have it.
When Blizzard imposes idiotic limits on us, we go around them. LFG BulletinBoard is also very good if you aren’t using it already, it’s a poor man’s Wrath groupfinder (before random dungeon tool).
Don’t bother. Most of these forum posters don’t play the game.
Blizzard definitely needs to fix these layers/revert any changes that they’ve made to them. Game is empty.
Huh I love how they made a full on blue post about the current layering problem and asking people to be patient with a bit more empty world until they have found a solution to the layering issues in the stv event which gets straight up ignored.
All these issue here could be resolved in seconds if anyone here had read that blue post.
Made questing painful. I did 2 quests in hillsbrad while lvling my main. Outside peak hours, but it still took almost an hour to find 10 lions. Plenty of dead ones though. Had to kill some bandits too, and went in a group for that one. Sat around for 30 min fighting for tags on respawns with several other groups.
So no thanks to that. Back to SM spam.
Had to wait 15 mins last night for AB pop…
Dead game confirmed.

I went to stv to level… couldnt get a tag, so moved to Hillsbrad and guess what… lots of competion to get a tag… so went to Arathi Highlands… same story there so i doubt SoD is dead. Atleast it isnt on wild growth.
Can I get some verification for this because it sounds horrendously badly designed.
I don’t care about a blueposts vague promise of “we’ll fix it” when they haven’t been able to fix a lot of other things in SoD. The problem is now and I want a revert to the layers now, not later.
