Cross realm interfering with rare spawns?

[Derpules]

Hello all! I poked around in the wow forums, but couldn't find an answer outside of 'nobody knows', so I'm trying my luck here.

Does anyone know if cross realm with put more people in the zones where the rare spawn mounts/pets are? If so, it makes things much more difficult. Earlier today I was in hellfire and Kazzak did his Aggro yell, player death yell, and finally his own death yell. But then his spawning yell happened again, after his death... Could this be connected? (crossrealm spawning that is)

All the rares I farm out of blasted lands for transmog fodder are there at their normal times. Can't really speak for world bosses, however I've found a frustrating bug where escort quests crossing subzones completely renders them undoable. A little disappointed this wasn't nipped in the bud during beta testing

I'm mainly referring to TLPD, Seahorse, and Aeonaxx's mount and their associated zones. I have 2 of the 3, so I cant really complain, but my hope of securing the last one will grow thin if there's swarms of 'other server' people.


EDIT: In regards to my first post in the thread, the kazzak spawning emote happening after he died has me wondering if he respawned and 'phased' into my realm so to speak, if even for just an instant. If so, it makes me wonder about the connections between the servers (MULTIVERSE!)

Even with all the extra people running around, I've stumbled onto 3 rare spawns in Outland in the course of a couple hours. Not sure how differently those work from Northrend/Cata spawns though, and I might have just gotten lucky.

WELL... Logged on today and saw someone camping Aeonaxx in deepholm from another server. /pokerface

Son of a bitch!

I don't really see any issue with what was once being camped now still being camped.

except now there are other campers from other servers camping the same area decreasing the chances of actually getting the kill and looting the mount

Weren't rare spawns intended to be competitive? Seems to be working as intended to me.

I guess the question then is "Do we get the rare spawn from both servers or just one?" If it spawns more often its not as bad, especially if the x server is lower pop than yours. Otherwise it sucks. They should probably bind rare spawns to the server they belong to.

Im not liking x server zones too much atm. Did some low level quests that took twice as long because some xserver player had killed all the mobs that I needed or picked up all the spawned items. With full heirlooms I can also solo any group quest.

There's a bug where (I believe it's related to cross-realm-zones) the guy who announces the Tauren Chieftain band at the DMF spams it endlessly, one time for each server connected to that given realm.. if you know what i mean.

I think all /yell mobs currently do this. I found the annoying fire elemental in Ashenvale doing this, even after I killed him.

I extrapolate that that GM was awesome

I've had some issues where NPCscan would... well...

I see this Icecrown rare mob from the Storm Peaks. As soon as I enter Icecrown, I go to a different server and it despawns. Back to Storm Peaks, and I can target it again...

Now that is really really shitty....

Blizzard is hell bent on this cross realm horse shit... we raised holy hell on beta about it... on beta any time you entered a cross realm zone you got flagged PVP, even if you were on a PVE server... AND you got the worgen mount buff of 'running wild'... and if you were flying you sometimes got dismounted and fell to your death... and Blizzard basically ignored all of us.... effectively making any level 80 and under leveling outside of dungeons impossible... a silent but resounding and definate FU

Putridus!
I can see him being very frustrating since you can target him from any zone in northrend

Ahhh, so that explains why most of the times, when I cross thresholds into zones, I get spammed with learning a pile of skills we can't raise anymore (weapon skills, languages). Also, evidently, crossing the Twisting Nether in Outlands on a passenger mount causes the passengers to be D/C'd and dismounted.

on beta any time you entered a cross realm zone you got flagged PVP, even if you were on a PVE server...

i can sum this up for ya.. how many servers are available to the beta? yah.. they needed to test the system with what is available.. kinda hard to test a cross server concept like this without other servers. dont worry tho.. on live cross-server is grouped ie : Normal servers are crossed with other Normal servers (no PvP ones allowed) and Pvp servers are crossed with other PvP servers.

the sometimes falling to your death bug, got fixed. sorry you didnt stick around long enough to see another build come out with the fix included. Blizzard has not "ignored you" with bugs regarding the beta.

Most of that is more about being on the beta than anything else. I think there was only one NA PVE server on beta in any case so if it was going to go cross-realm it would be with a PvP beta server. I believe at one point they said this would happen.

As for live, I'm guessing they're listening and figuring it out as they go. That is the Blizzard way. The thing that would probably bother me the most is the changing of time zones. I really do hope they get that arranged and soon. As for increased competition for rares, well yeah. More people in a zone will mean more competition.
