Last night my level 18 Wogren killed a named boss. He was the supposed

out.

Elapsed time maybe 1 minute.

And there was the named boss blocking the way again. I had to kill him
again...

Under the old WoW, that was pretty normal, though the respawn time
tended more towards 5 minutes rather than 1. Since they now phase the
environment, why do I see a boss that is aleady killed? He should be
forever gone in my timeline...?

I've had this happen a couple of other times now.

You share your current phase with other players and your phase only
changes when you hand a quest in so the boss needs to re-spawn in the same
way that it always did.

I do wish that named mob re-spawn rates were longer. It seems ridiculous
that you can kill one and he's back before you've left the area. I've
even had one re-spawn before I looted him before now.


Also, with the new phasing, I only rarely see anyone else playing at
all. It has pretty much become a solo game now, since everybody else is
in a different phase. I see tons of people in the towns, but the
questing fields is pretty much just the mobs and me.

I've not tried the lower levels yet but that certainly isn't the case in
the 80+ levels. There are plenty of people around on my server.

I was questing in Deepholm yesterday and in 2 different areas I killed a mob
and it respawned immediately 4 times in a row. I handled it ewasily but it
was kind of a pain as both times it was the last mob needed to complete a
quest. On another note on phasing, on my rogue I am pulled out of stealth
regularly in uldum due to aggro from mobs not in the phase I am in. It has
also happened on a couple other toons also, being unable to mount up because
I am "in combat" even though there is no mob anywhere even remotely near me.
I hope they get all this fixed soon.

On a side note, I live on west coast, can anyone suggest a RP server where
people actually RP? I have 10 toons on my main server and am wanting to try
something new while I have recruit a friend working and can run toons to 60
quickly. PVP or PVE doesn't matter, I can handle something happening to me
that isn't scripted or expected, lol.
