Phasing like this is really immersion breaking

I understand why they do it, but it feels like there has to be a more elegant way of handling it, or perhaps a better "overlap" period where someone only moves off your layer when they are no longer visible.

Could not agree more. Sharding really needs to go. We need servers with layers instead. It's not perfect, but it is one hell of a lot better than this
