LAYERING WAS JUST A TERM BLIZZARD MADE UP TO LESSEN THE BACKLASH FROM SHARDING

sharding is a good thing. the problem is that WoW method of sharding is stupid. it happens randomly and is forced on the player. instead of the player having a choice and only done in specific areas (such as a town) instead of it happening in ALL zones.

as long as it's kept to starting zones i don't see the issue. competing with 100+ people for wolves isn't fun, even if you group.

No thanks, at least Blizzard will be accountable for Classic, which is far more than shitnos or trannydale

the term "Layering" was invented by blizzcuck so they braindead fans will just be more susceptible to whatever they said. Then later all after they've played with "layering" for a good while the company can just say it'll be remaining due to "the servers" or "game engine" not being able to handle the load which they can then use to bolster and hype the amount of fags playing it. In other words: Y'all are being played for braindead chimps.
blizzards products have always been shit. They either copy off of someone else or it'll just be a product that's dead from the get go. I never understood how fags like their games.

Yeah you can tell the system was designed by some retarded californian comp sci major who thinks shoving players around various mmo channels without asking them is good ,modern game design.etting people pick their own channel is so 2000s

sharding is good, you won't be able to play the game if there is more than 40 people in a zone

Why are you saying this as if Actiblizzard doesn't have a long record of consistently lying to customers for Jewy reasons? Why are you denying simple deductive reasoning?

Well also sharding just could've been too far deep into Legion's coding for them to remove in a practical way so they just didn't even bother and spent most of the time just defending it and cozying classic players up to the idea.

No problem. Out of curiosity do you post in any threads that aren't games owned by Activision?

Genuinely asking: why is sharding bad?

what do you mean by denying? they will lie for sure
source: trust me dude

see now imagine that kind of stuff happening out in the world as you're playing, and the effect it will have on community. Also, each shard has its own resources, which fucks the economy.

It's a caching solution, that's all you need to know. Chances are it caches your last layer so you always log back to the same one. Although why would they do it locally is beyond me.

It's not. At least in the stress test there were tons of people per shard so you still had to fight over mobs.
People tend to forget that the Classic launch will have a lot more players initially than the original vanilla launch and would be a total clusterfuck without sharding

Okay it's 6PM, we're starting

Why did asmongold blow up but alex never got the following he deserved?

It's bad if it's long term. For the initial rush of autism with thousands of people trying to level up at once in the same starting zone, it's a good way to allow the servers not to die every other hour and for you to actually play. The problem comes when the starting zones have been vacated and now you are starting to level. Multiple layers means that some areas might be barren depending on what layer you're in and really populated in another. It's also a huge problem once you start getting to the higher level zones where gathering materials are at because if you can just switch layers to get to a new zone, you can farm twice as much materials and it's going to kill the economy because mega autists are going to get to 60 in a week. If layering lasts for the first week or 2, then I doubt it'd have too huge of an impact, but if it's there for more than a month then it's going to be a problem.

Attached: 1432443229853.png (250x250, 113K)

i'd livestream myself cutting off my balls if they actually kept their word and removed it when things calm down at "unspecified date"

Because excellence is rarely rewarded in its time in a culture comprised of cretins.

This is actually how FFXIV handles it. When an expansion launches each zone has multiple instances and after a few months they turn them off forever.

It kills the idea of a persistent world.
You see different players who are in the same zone.
There are multiple shards containing rare mobs and resources people (the Chinese) can farm
You can switch shards at the realm's whim, even if you're in combat or in a PvP situation
It's antithetical to the idea that you should group up with other players and interact with people if the zone is currently too populated
You can just go to a different shard if there's too much PvP or you're getting corpse camped
Realm populations caps are waaaaay higher than what they were originally because sharding essentially splits the population into 5 realms that all share the same economy and auction house

Of course none of this really needs to be elaborated because the bottom line is it wasn't in the game originally and it's for an "authentic experience"

Damn I really hope you're a shill then and just don't have such shit taste you unironically are excited for Destiny and are cool with Actiblizz weaseling in microtransactions only after everyone bought the game.

Calling people cucks is not excellence, Alex.

>Do they just ignore that Blizz said this was only for the launch period so shit doesn't get absolutely fucked and players actually have a good first day experience
Yes because they scrapped the idea you're talking about that they proposed at Blizzcon last year later and said it was going to be the entire continent and until phase 2 which is MONTHS after release.

Also in the open beta it doesn't even function like they said it would, it's using regular old Legion sharding still. They lied to you about this layering gimmick so they could justify keeping layering in long enough to where people will get used to it or are simply too far deep to quit so they can just come out and say it's not getting removed.

>why does everyone ignore my name calling when I can't argue against what he says?

not a shill, i just like what i like.
the existence of micro in CTR doesn't bother me but i will agree that slipping it in like they did was underhanded to say the least.

Who's excited for the blizzlike private servers that will inevitably come out once even the normies know Classic is a boondoggle?

for the first you have the risk of lag and ques and for the layer part not much except the fact that it's less laggy and probably more stable

>They lied to you about this layering gimmick so they could justify keeping layering in long enough to where people will get used to it or are simply too far deep to quit so they can just come out and say it's not getting removed.

I don't doubt they're going to keep it going longer than intended, but if they do it into Phase 2 it completely defeats the purpose of what they talked about at this years Blizzcon which was that there should only ever be 1 Kazzak or 1 Azuregos up at a time. They aren't THAT retarded to completely ruin the game with something they said they knew would ruin competition for drops.

Yes they might make a few small exceptions for zones that have world bosses or just merge the shards together temporarily when they spawn and the fact that they lied about it already AND that this layering shit still functions exactly the same as just legion sharding this close to launch is a huge red flag.

>They aren't THAT retarded to completely ruin the game with something they said they knew would ruin competition for drops.
Yes they are. The original dev team is pretty much all gone. They skullfucked the game once and they can easily do it again. Also Blizzard is owned by Activision so even if they WANTED to keep certain things that aren't good for the health of the game away it might not be what shareholders want.

Reminder that all of this short term, cocaine-seeming frenzy you see by corps like Activision is a direct result of central banking and reporting laws. There is no incentive to think long term in a mixed economy.

>wow

You nerds never go away huh?

Watching them do plenty of retarded stuff like literally cutting 2/3 of an expansion to put in things like twitter integration, but this would literally be breaking the core mechanics of the game. They've never done something on that level of retardation before. I get people want to Doompost, but it'd be a huge waste of time and resources for them to just kill the project after all this time.

Where is the proof? If the only file is "shard_0", that means there is only one shard = there is no sharding.

tfw you miss the most kino moment in vanilla because you couldn't get an invite to asmon layer

I don't get it, did the druid forget to learn roots?

That was their original proposition but
"""Layering"""" is supposed to group the entire continent into a single shard and keep you there, only switching when you get invited to a group. So no you aren't supposed to phase in and out of different shards ever under their layering system.

Yeah it sucks but it's necessary. There's going to be millions of fucking people trying to play this week one and it will be completely unplayable without it.
Hopefully they will get rid of it in the long term but it's not going to completely ruin the game if they don't.

Just new players who don't know about vanilla wow's true diffiiculty. Stealthed troggs in a cave that appear from nowhere and banish your party to the shadow realm so they can gank you. Now that's a game mechanic.

sad, I loved crowded zones as annoying as they were friendships and rivalries were born there
I can play single player wow in retail

I don't think the zones are going to be underpopulated on some of the bigger ones like Whitemane/Herod. The only issue I see with Sharding on these servers is being able to switch between them to either avoid people or farm early. I think everyone is underestimating just how many people are going to some of these servers. Like that spreadsheet someone was passing around yesterday of questionnaire results for Herod had them at 4.3k just from Reddit answers so who knows how many are actually on there that didn't do that questionnaire.

The best part of classic is a lot of private servers will be able to get even closer to vanilla

If every layer is populated then what's the benefit of swapping?
As for avoiding ganks there's a delay when you hop so you need to do it well in advance.

Less players appear in your zone so your computer doesn't fry trying to load up hundreds upon hundreds of other characters running around, and makes quests where you have to kill X amount of something doable since otherwise you'd have to be racing for a retardedly long time to get those done.

The way WoW does sharding is 100x worse than FFXIVs method.

>it's absolute cancer to an MMO.
only in WoWs implementation of it. Other MMOs handled it better. Namely Ultima Online

Isn't there a huge problem with sharding in retail where they put a ton of one faction in a shard which lets them steamroll the other faction since there is almost nobody there to fight back? Is this going to be a thing in classic too?

I don't play MMOs can someone explain what's happening here? It looks like he's fighting some enemies with a couple of other players and then all the players but him disappear. Why? Isn't that bad in a game where you're supposed to cooperate with others? How are you supposed to play cooperatively when at any time your friends can just disappear like that?

War Mode has done that on my server. Darkspear used to be 80-90% Alliance, but when I go War Mode to do stuff it's like 10 Horde for every 1 Alliance. The cause of that is because it's crossrealm AND sharding though rather than the individual server. I imagine there might be some inconsistencies at launch, but as people start to either level or quit things will get more even unless the server was predominately 1 side or the other from the start.

a non-mmo player gets why sharding is gay better than blizz shills
