Changes proposed:

  • On retail, you can see Razorscale flying around when you use Ulduar Teleporter(Colossal Forge). Distance between teleporter and razorscale is approximately 400y.
  • On retail, you can see XT002 in Ulduar Teleporter (Colossal Forge). Distance between teleporter and XT002 is approximately 400y.

So the present value is very short and break razorscale encounter.

Target branch(es): 3.3.5

Issues addressed: Has no open issues, but will improve Razorscale fight (PR soon)

Tests performed: Builded and tested in game

IMHO: A better solution would be adding a field into instance_template to set a custom view distance if needed. Or at-least split the "Instance" category in 2 types, raids and dungeons.

On PTR, Fel Reaver can be seen over 850 yards away. IMHO better finish #18067 . I doubt trash mobs can be seen at 400 yards on retail.

Definitely not, it needs a different solution than globally changing visibility distance for everything (and won't be easy)
