Last night my kin was working on the Fires of Smaug instance. It appeared to us that there is a bug that makes the same valve appear different levels of open to different players.

There were many times where player A would report valve fully closed and player B standing right next to them would report the same valve as being at some various level of open (usually 3-5 clicks still required to close).

If I stood at a valve through the whole fight, I could predictably watch it open to the degree expected from the mechanics of the fight and close it appropriately with a kin mate. But, when I crossed the instance to look at a different valve, the person that stayed standing there would report it as being fully closed and to me it looked wide open.

It seemed to me that this occurred mainly due to distance one was from the valve when a change occurred to the valve. Almost like if one wasn't within range of the valve when a change occurred to it, it didn't register graphically to that person.

Just curious if this has been seen by other kins or if we were losing our minds?
