There used to be (for this expansion at least) a long pause before ach spam went off to ensure everyone got in zone and wasnt stuck zoning when it went off. They are going back to the old setup for T3 where you may get pooched if mid zone when spam goes off. Best bet if you die right as its winning, stay floating, dont release to bind and wait for rez.
OK that makes much more sense. I always attributed that pause to post-raid lag lol I guess this thread can be locked now, thanks
The new reward system is directly causing that pause/delay. Without it on T3 it won't be present, but as 2nd post wrote players are again at risk of being excluded from rewards by zoning.
And T3 raids are all thats missing to evolve neck now, would hate to be one of the folks that get pooched if it happens. Yes I know can do it a week later (and hope it doesnt pooch again), but that answer/response is a cop out and should only be used by people with weak bloodlines.
