Level quashing

Agree or disagree with the level quashing! I don’t usually go on the forums, I just want to find out how many players actually like what blizz are doing concerning the level quashing.

They say there doing it to incourage new players to start playing.

I think it’s unfair on players that have been playing for 10 plus years who have spent a shed load of time, money & grinding there backsides off to get there characters to level 120, so much for loyalty.

You mean Squashing?

You do realise nothing really changes, just a number.

Happy with it and have no issues at all. It’s a QoL change, I’ve done the same stories xmillion times before, limiting that to one expansion is a lot better imo. For example, who doesn’t dread 60-80? Who doesn’t do bonus objectives in WoD instead of the story?
(Okay, some people but my point remains)

I’m quite pleased to go back to (what are in my mind) more reasonable numbers. Level, damage, health etc.

i was expecting to be level 200 ( 80+levels) , with a extremely fast leveling pace ; and a ‘‘new type’’ portrait on my character.Also a fully optmized ‘‘class based new ui’’ ,getting all the utilities we have lost from all expansions back and we got like NOOOOOPE

Our characters are going to ‘‘afterlife’’ as a mortal !! We should be WAAAAAY powerful than any entity that exists at azeroth at this point.

Instead it got nerfed, and we got ‘‘classic’’ instead. As if we ‘‘really’’ wanted classic lol.
Besides ; 60 isnt sexy as 200 lol .

just vibin :relieved:

most of players

people are scared of big numbers - they intimidate them

blizzard knows that and thats why they are doing squishes.

there is no other reason .

sadly most of companies nowadays cater only to dumb uneducated people

for example i dont. since WoD story was very fun just like leveling.

just pushed my dark iron dwarf shaman through WoD - was fun to return there :slight_smile:

I do not really care about the number. I do not care if it’s over 9000 or just 60. The thing I care about is that I never have enough “exp lvls” to keep going in one zone and actually complete that zone. During my playthrough on this toon I rolled on a different realm, I barely even touched Pandaria. Invaded Pandaria, did a few dungeons and quests and off we go to Draenor! The same applies there.

Also the lvl number does not say much, its about the amount of exp you need to farm to hit max lvl in my oppinion. The lvl number is just an indicator to show if you have hit max lvl or not. They could change it in a 0 and a 1. (true or false) Is max lvl reached: 1 or 0.

So i am pretty excited for SL, you can atleast play through one expac from start to finish so far as i know.

If you take all the zeroes being removed from numbers, they add up to nothing. :wink:

Seriously though, I think 60 looks like a much more achieveable number than 120. I can see myself having all classes at 60, while looking down my current list it just looks like a lot of work to get anything else up to 120. I think it’ll help peoples motivation to level, having smaller numbers whether it’s faster or not.

Also doing one complete expansion seems like a much better idea to me than doing 2 zones in one expac, then 1.5 zones in another, then some treasure hunting then some invasions and finishing off with one zone in the current content. I think I’ll enjoy playing out a full expansion story on each character instead of feeling like I hit the cap without finishing a single expansion storyline.

If they would make you do everything again it would be bad but nothing changes and 50=120 doesnt matter if its lv 50 or lv 100000000 if nothing else changes they don’t take anything away from you.

i think you can agree 120 (theoretically 130 in shadowlands) is just waaaaay too much.
it should have been squashed a long time age.

I think it’s fine, and I’ve been around since Vanilla. Changing the level cap doesn’t make any difference, in a way it’s no different to the xp decreases needed to level that have been implemented in the past. It takes nothing away from people who have dinged 120, it’s only a number.

If it encourages new players to pick up the game and give it a try as they only have to go 50 levels to get to current content, that can only be a good thing.

I like it.

That’s probably one of the reasons they are going to squish.

Kind off oftopic, does this mean the vanilla dungeons and raids are “part of the game” agian? Would love to experience those raids agian in 2020 on retail.

It’s just a number, if you squish it for everyone proportionally then it doesn’t matter. Relative difference between players stays the same.

Wut… I actually lost brain cells trying to follow your logic here.

Hope this is a troll… otherwise wow

Surely it’s actually a boon to those that have been playing for years? Now when they want to level a new alt, they don’t have to grind through content that they have already done many, many times already. Isn’t that a good thing?

The level squish is probably the only thing I see as being good about the new expansion. I’ve not liked anything else I have seen, and I have actually cancelled my subscription.

I have been playing since The Burning Crusade and the game keeps getting further and further away from the game I have loved. I know it’s just me, but the game seems to keep dropping the parts I enjoy most, and emphasising the parts I don’t like. A real shame.
