I love phasing. It's added a dimension to the game that makes it that much better, but...
I'm finishing up all of the quests in Icecrown, just to take a break from Heroics and dailies. It's good gold and I'm curious where the quests end - and just in case new ones start up in 3.3 that pick up where they currently end.
So, I have the Shattering the Shards quest. For two weeks now I'd fly in with my team - and as soon as I hit Cor'prethar, two would stay together, the other 3 would be together, and no matter what I did , they would not phase together.
I finished every quest I could find, they all have Loremaster, they all finished the other quest chains (including the "hard" groups ones, like the Admiral one, Banshee's Revenge, and Battle at Valhala), they're pretty much the same level in ToC dailies and rep...I could not figure it out - any time I'd go near the southern part of Icecrown, they'd break phase.
So...I dug in today, I'm going to figure this out. 2 hours later, after getting lists of every quest in the zone, checking and double checking for low level quests...I head down to the gate to try one more thing...fly through the gate...the two can see the camp from the ToC daily...the other 3 can't. Phasing breaks.
No. Effing. Way.
Grab the quest on the other 3, all of a sudden they can all stay in phase in Icecrown, so I start the Shard quest, get halfway through, and one of the asshole mobs knocks my team off the wall to their deaths. LOL. Quit!
One daily breaks phase. It's seriously stupid. With the massive phasing they're talking about in Cata, I hope the fix they're promising for phased team members works, because this one stupid daily has been driving me NUTS.
Note: None of them have DONE the daily yet, because I could'nt get TO it, which is why two had it, the other 3 did'nt. Now I can. We'll see what happens after I turn it in once.
It's things like that, that drive me nuts. There's a new way to poll the server for what quests you've done in 3.3*, so *fingers crossed* the quest helpers will include this to help us get our toons caught up with each other!
*What's interesting about this is, there are GMs who still claim there's a lot of quests nobody has done yet, like the imfamous ghost quests. The new abilities I believe include polling the server for a full quest list...if so, those quests may finally be found. I read about it on MMO Champions, the new quest links are live on the PTR right now.
