I would have said it was impossible, but after a bunch of testing in Stonetalon Mountains, this appears to be the case. Anasterian US had 2 Mountain Skunks in a certain spot while Brill EU had 2 Alpine Chipmunks. I went over to a Night Elf town and slaughtered all the guards and NPCs and logged in on Brill again and went to the same town and saw the corpses everywhere, so mobs definitely still are CRZ on the PTR.Gwenolyn wrote:Could they have made it somehow where pets are not CRZ but mobs are? They could have done this r/t all the complaints about minfernal etc? I'm no programmer, so I don't know if this is possible. Would it be similar to different toons in "phases"? Just asking, please don't flame...
The way CRZ works is not entirely unlike phasing - if you fail to connect to the CRZ server but maintain the connection to your original server, no players/NPCs from the server will load, but some of the unCRZed things will. Therefore, it sounds like they implemented some sort of blacklist for the CRZ system that stops certain NPCs from being shared (all battle pets in this case probably) and lets the original servers' versions of those NPCs 'bleed through'.
