Just did a mythic island expedition with 2 friends

It takes longer to do with 200 ilvl team than it used to take while bfa was current content. Well done Blizzard.
Well done :clap::clap::clap:. You already ruined old content for some classes by introducing a target cap. At the very least fix the scaling so you can clear it faster than when it was current content…

Remember that it wasn’t all borrowed power. It was also the fact that in the prepatch, all players had a hidden damage aura.

Legacy content is just broken, it’s harder now than before the squish.

Things we could do before aren’t possible anymore or take a lot longer.

Don’t do it with 200 ilvl. Use the neck and the azerite armor instead.

Which is a huge problem. And the constant excuse we keep hearing is “wait until you get better gear”. I shouldn’t need to wait for 1 year to be able to do content I was able to easily clear fast 6 months ago.

I’m not even bothering to do any older content atm because it’s just frustrating. I’m disappointed they don’t deem it an issue that needs fixing.

Neck and max azerite gear doesn’t change much… Abilities are still target capped and enemies health pools are too big for your damage done. Also azerite gear results in huge stat loss so I am not sure it is even worth it.

Yes, but I thought the ilvl was scaled down in old content, so azerite traits and stats on neck and armor would be quite a dps gain over current gear.

I think this applies if you are level 50. The whole systems they have introduced regarding scaling and all is quite vague. Also I am pretty sure enemies scale based on max ilvl and not equipped ilvl. Was like that at least back in the days. But this goes to show how flawed the entire system is.

welcome to modern wow where a raving lunatic named ion and his army of yes men white knights run the show

i too would like to solo things i did back in bfa and i didn’t even have this fabled corruption people keep using as an excuse

oh great, a couple of days ago i was wondering whether island expeditions are comfortably soloable because i still need a crap ton of stuff from there…its the perfect farm to switch off your brain, listen to music or watch a film.

since its such a huge hassle i wont bother then…MEH.

Well, you can’t even play them solo, afaik they still require 3 players.

There was talk of making a solo queue recently (by Blizzard). Although they said there were issues with solo queue for Warfronts so that might not happen.

What’s the point of a solo queue if we are weaker now at 60 than we were at 50?

Getting weaker with levelling is putting me off levelling my alts. When will they start selling Level deboosts? Take ten levels off you character for $50…

Yep. This week I’ve been farming Islands, and Elites take forever to kill. At 120 when we had Twillight Devastation it was much quicker.

small indie company at its best

the issue was most likely that they can’t be bothered gram anything that equal work for ion he won’t do

its actually disgusting that the devs keep moving the goalposts with this, before it was oh youll still be able to do all old content, now its " well you can do it when we get to the last raid tier of shadowlands "

Pathetic excuse from the devs and the fact this hasnt been fixed yet is just embarassing

And this isn’t even addressing the fact that they introduced a target cap. Even if we get stronger unless you are running a fire mage or balance druid your runs will still be abysmally slow…

Yea i can’t even solo mechagon 5 man for the mount weekly, kinda boring.
