Issues with layering and player density
9%14 comments
“Biggest layer issue I've noticed is sometimes the layering isn't....fully layered or something. I've seen 2-3 people that seemed to have their own world they were interacting with. They'd walk right through hostile mobs and not aggro them, and then fight literally nothing. I can heal/buff them and they can see me, but whatever we are fighting the other can't see lol”
“layering for parties is def needing work. That little message does not always pop up. Spent 30min split from other party member and it would not synch us. Then suddenly pop and we were together.”
“It’s disappointing to be in a launch and not see tons of people in cities and zones. They definitely need to pull back on the layers, at the very least in cities.”
