EXP lock at level 69?

When can we lock our EXP again, at level 69?

Chromie Timeline now has Dragonflight included, but you still get kicked out when you reach level 60, even though in a few weeks we can level up all the way to level 80. The current max level to lock your EXP is still set to level 59.

I was trying to get all the Recruit gear with TWW pre-patch, but it can only obtained below level 70, once you hit level 70 you get the Dalaran Defender pieces instead, so you’re kinda forced to create a new character again or use one that’s still below level 60 to lock your EXP.

Also, I haven’t played Retail WoW in a long time and would love to try out the Shadowlands and Dragonflight expansions using Chromie Timeline. Some of my characters have passed level 60, so hopefully we can lock our EXP at level 69 soon?

How did this go with previous expansions?

Edit:
Good news! Well sort of… As off today (Aug 23, 2024), we can finally lock our EXP at level 69 and below again! But for some reason we can’t do Chromie Timeline yet.

Edit2:
Ffs, seems like if you did the pre-patch event you can’t do Chromie Timeline anymore… Even when your EXP is locked at level 69. GG Blizzard… Now I can’t play the previous expansions the normal way.

Why 69? If your doing chromie time it will scale down to you at any level?

You can only do Chromie Timeline below level 60, so that’s why you have to lock your EXP at level 59. But soon the level cap will be 80, so it should be level 69 now to lock your EXP.

Yeah I get that but why wait to the last level? Lower you are the more powerful you are?

In case you want to unlock your EXP again, you can start the new expansion right away. Also some of my characters have passed level 60, assuming I could lock my EXP at level 69 again, but now I can’t. If I hit level 70 I’m not able to do Chromie Timeline again until the next expansion. So I’m currently not touching these characters.

This also raises a question for me, are character still gaining experiencing but just not levels now? Because I’ve seen one of my xp locked characters get the level up animation several times…you know, like it was during the test weeks of Dragonflight where you could go there with your non-expansion account, gaining xp/levels that just didn’t hit…and logging into the respective characters instantly pushed them to 70. Though no problem in those cases. The one I keep locked though…I wanted to take slowly. But now I fear he’ll pop a bunch of levels on exiting xp lock.

Stuff like this would be much less needed if there wasn’t level locked rare/loot stuff…and I haven’t even tried getting into it yet…

That level up animation happens a lot in many pf thr Radiant Echoes events.

Ok I thought I wouldn’t have to but I guess I do need to say it happened outside of that :stuck_out_tongue: but, do they happen in more than just the Hogger one?

Yeah more than just hogger

New patch, but still not able to lock my exp below level 70. Hopefully they’ll change it with the new level cap.
