Fix Dungeon Finder Please

Possibly a dumb suggestion, but hear me out.
I’m levelling up Alts (IMPORTANT, On Alliance), and by far the worst to level are the DPS only classes. Lock, Hunter, Rogue, Mage. Because the queue times for dungeons are so long. WoD dungeons had the longest, up to over one hour.
I do questing and bonus objectives in between, but it shouldn’t take this long to get into a dungeon. The XP is too good to turn down a dungeon. 1-90 and 100-120 especially.

I figured out a fix for it though. Which might or might not work.

Permanent Random Timewalking. And tank rewards should always have Augment Runes. This timewalking should be normal dungeons, so it can match max level players with low level players.

I know that party sync is a thing, but there is no reward for that (Inside the game. Depends on who you’re hitting on).
There also needs to be a guaranteed loot reward on dungeons after level 90. Just saying.

For levelling up, it would be a great help if Timewalking and normal dungeons were combined. It would reduce queue times and allow players to earn runes, gold, badges, etc.

Also, why the hell isn’t it alt friendly? why can’t we earn Azerite, Titan Residuum, end game loot (Or currency) whilst levelling? doing dungeons? It’s pretty bad game design in my opinion. Just mail a bag of that stuff you’d have earned, a full set of 430 gear. Rank 1 essences (Or account bound). Simple. Alt friendly. Win.

It makes me question what the game designer is doing with this game. I absolutely hate the end game content (Minus raids). It’s just flawed by a lack of care and listening to player feedback.

I look forward to Shadowlands, but not the aspect of being locked to a single class again because of bad game design. On top of the stupid pathfinder.

Sorry for getting ranty at the end.

I still don’t understand what reason is there that the latest pathfinder achievement would not automatically unlock flying in all previous expansions as well.

Finder is slow mostly because alliance ratio much lower than horde, more players take break since the end of xpac is here, or just burned out xyz reasons. You should go questing.

The grind I’m guessing. It seems like an inconvenience to timegate the flying, especially to a grind. I’d be okay with Pathfinder if it required you to explore the entire place to get flying, so that you get a sense of scale that players are saying you do on a ground mount. But that should be it. I don’t get this; get revered, complete this many world quests, loremaster. It makes no sense.

Just unlock flying from the start.

well only what is doable is just leveling dungeon size scale to allow more dps than 3 , sometime less depends on who is signing up, or even givin 2 healers in group if lot of healer is signed up and scale healing done by amount of healers like , if u go like 1-2-3 like making that healers have reduced healing by 45% or somethig like that , for dps just giving more or less hp to mobs depending how many dps in group

Queue is long because not so many players are playing. Timewalking weeks make it bit better, but still, like in BfA level range it was (or still is) better to use islands to level because dungeon queue was close to empty (even though it gave more exp).

Ques were long for leveling even in WoD because questing ,bonus objectives and treasures combined with XP potion and looms was and still is quicker to level 90-100 which can take as little as 3 hours max.

In WoD and Legion you don’t level up via dungeon at all - its slow thats why not many people doing it and have long queue time.

Timewalking is fun but during leveling dungeon which has quests is feels more rewarding. Once quest is done there people don’t wanna visit that dungeon again. Again legion and WoD has no quests so it’s boring for alt leveling.

I have no idea why they removed quests from dungeons.

Every time I see the OP’s profile headpic i just expect Wez to jump up yelling

“No…NO!! WE GO IN!! We go in!!”

But as for timewalking dungeons I don’t see how it would help. Vanilla the dungeons are enough to carry you through upto BC and WotLK, and it’s then that i find leveling alts to be it’s most cruel, even with dungeons it seems a never ending slog. Mop and Cata the quest levelling is sufficient, i had my last alt go from 80 to 90 without leaving or indeed finishing Vashj’ir. Draenor you can pretty much bust in an hour or 3 simply by completing all the bonus quests in Gorgrond combined with a few quests in your starting zone depending on your faction, and Legion again I wait for legion assaults with a handful of quests. BfA helps with its assaults but mostly I quest to completion of first zone then roughly halfway through second. For example last alt was a Mag’har warrior, he completed all of Nazmir and roughly half of Vol’dun.

Having said that, i have invested in fully maxing all of my heirlooms, and stocked up heavily on exp boost potions right from the word go.

I would strongly suggest anyone levelling alts should do the same otherwise it makes a seemingly endless slog just exactly that, an endless slog that you grow tired of before the finishing line.

Because then other people would be mad that they had to grind out Draenor and Legion PF and now others get it for free with the BfA PF.
Its like if you grinded out all allied races and i didnt, and then i only unlocked the mechagnome and got the others for free

I think for Legion and BFA you get them at end of zone story line.
As for WoD if you had the inn and depending on Inn level you would get 1 or 2 quests per day .

Considered it. I’m gonna bring 4 fluffers if I do.

They need to get rid of separate queues per expansion, especially after the scaling changes. At level 60 just have one queue that includes all TBC AND Wrath dungeons, at 80 have one queue that includes all Cata AND Panda dungeons.

Having two separate queues just further divides an already small number of players

alliance is dead. thats why so long queue times. if you’re tank / healer its instant queue. otherwise – go play horde

16

Or just an all queue. “Random Any Dungeon”. Since Shadowlands is going to allow you to go through all expansions from the start. I like a bit of variety and it would be nice to get other dungeons. That’s assuming there is no progression in dungeons.
