I forgot to turn in a quest on one of my characters. Apparently this is a pretty long chain in Icecrown and important. I went back to get the other character caught up, but they cannot see each other in that zone. I can't use my other characters to help him with the elite mobs. Is there anyway around this? This phasing is a pain in the a##.
Not that I know of mate, might have to try it the old fashioned way :/
as long as they are grouped, once you engage the target you should be able to see it on your other guys.
I have helped numerous people with phased quests, but the guy normally appears after the other person engages.
I recently helped out a few guildies with a quest in Ice Crown. I have already finished it already, so we had the same problem. They couldn't see me, I couldn't see them, however we both saw the quest mob. I made a comment about it being impolite to fly all the way out here and not kill him, so I pulled. The quest mob went grey for them as soon as I pulled, however they got the credit for the kill. Maybe give it a try?
I think we should complain more in the WoW forums about the phasing.
it's a bad design and we should let them know it. it prevents us from playing with friends as well as mboxing.
I personally like it. I like the fact that when I accomplish something in a quest/zone things change to reflect that. Perhaps they could work something out though to where you *can* party with friends who aren't on the same phase. But Blizz makes the big dollars so what they say goes. :)Quote:

I would have agreed with you a few months ago. It took me a long time to get used to phasing and its numerous idiosyncracies, but I've decided it's a good thing and tend to accept problems as user error (e.g. didn't check my quest logs for completion before leaving the area, wasn't paying attention when I flew over a phasing boundary, etc.). I may feel differently next time something really horrible happens, of course.
I expect Icecrown is meant to be a testbed for future expansions to see how far they can push the concept. I love how Blizzard is looking toward zones being more organic and open to influence from player progression. Even if it's really fake change that only applies to you and people who've done the same quests, I appreciate the illusion.
I think phasing in the long run is awesome. Its kinda dumb to go back to Elwynn forest and see that Bitch Hogger still there, creating havoc. I mean I must have killed that guy a hundred times, but there's STILL a wanted poster for him, and he's still roaming free.....
I'm also hoping that phasing will help with stupid ganking. IMO no lvl 80 should be allowed to nuke lvl 20s near the starting zone. I say either phase the lowbie zones to be separate until a certain level is reached, or a quest is completed, then let them open up to the real world. Or something to that effect. I'd love it if I went to westfall and saw the farms starting to regrow, or go to Redridge and see the ogres out of the castle and the alliance rebuilding.... I want to see the result of my hard work questing damnit!
