I know you will probably label me with “broke” or “yet another dude playing dead bracket” but hear me out:
I’m not broke and I love mmorpgs.
I love twinking aspect of the game
Having these limits does not affect me much, on contrary, it makes it feel a bit more challenging to perform certain things.
Achievement hunting is what I always loved doing on a casual side of my gaming life.
I’m curious if there is anyone who is like me so we can maybe get a small community rolling.
To answer obvious question:
Q - Why locking on 19 and not just hitting lv20?
A - Blizzard tends to change things drastically and change them alot. I picked 19 because on the long run I can only benefit from potential change regarding the battleground queues. I will end up on a bit higher tier in battleground than if I stay locked on bottom end of 20-29 or, as it used to be, 20-24.
Thanks for reading and, please, if you can’t recognize yourself here or your only response will be “how stupid I am” I’d love you to just move on from this topic and forgive me for taking your time to read it.
Jelincic that was enturely uncalled-for. I’m not going to report your post, but I feel like I should. If you’re going to call somebody stupid, directrly or indirectly, at least give your reasons.
Blizzard hates twinks. I think because of two reasons: 1. They deviate from the devs’ Grand Design, and are out of the devs’ control and 2. because they do interfere in some ways with regular non-twinks. They used to pwn them in BGs, mostly, which made a lot of people mad, and they explore and find cracks in the walls of things like scaling. The devs would rather not have people looking at the cracks in the numbers.
They specifically disliked 19 twinks because they could dominate the 10-19 bracket so hard, so shifting them to 20 was a sweetly calculated nerf.
Me, I rather like twinks, and I’ve twinked up a couple of characters myself. Briefly, because, as you say, Blizzard likes change (they should get a refund on their thermodynamics courses, if they ever took any) and the take the opportunity with every change to upset whatever twink positions were viable. I’m not dedicated enough to do it well, but it is a fun and challenging way to play. Good luck with it!
i locked at lvl 10 because scaling is here very good. and i see no advantages at lvl 19/20.
and i can play leagion, df or what with free account. some zones are locked because their scaling is trash and very bugged. like in df in first zone mobs are 10 and then a bit further they are lvl 60. ROFL! gj student “devs”!
and i play wow only in dungeons anyway. so lvl 10 pala tank is very good for tanking/dmg/group heal
