Leveling nerfed AGAIN in 8.0

24/07/2018 13:56Posted by Dacivalt


There is one guy in the ghostlands Dar'Kahn, had like 4.2k hp for my poor lvl 20 something mage... Didn't have a chance xD

Tho think he needs a group to take care of? Not sure.


I killed him on my lvl 36 shaman. He had about 50k hp. RIP anyone trying to kill that guy now without healing spells.
Leveling feels like in a F2P game. Dungeon xp is okay but it takes way to long to kill the trash. It is a zergfest. 6 Dungeons in the last 24 hours and the tank left 6 times since the healer can't heal 50% max health hits.

I hope they do something soon. The only thing left to do is leveling the new races till BfA and they destroyed that progress feeling totaly in this patch.

Feels worst than leveling in Black Desert...

And not everyone can play 4 hours a day to get 2 levels and have to level 55 days to get a twink to the endgame...

this is funny.. Why cant any answer eu CM? Look us forum Ythisens answering anything questions... and eu? 0.. This is joke...


If you go on Wowheads blue tracker you'll see how the blue posts are split between EU/US.
Blizzard only care and fix stuff that affects them. There's a proof: https://i.imgur.com/QCZQHVT.png

I noticed last night when leveling up a Void Elf I made yesterday (my next heritage armor goal!), that the dungeon window did indeed say the bonus was only once per week - but the bonus remained similar each time I queued and completed a dungeon, so I suspect that is just a display issue. I'm currently chasing this up internally.

The Legion Invasions have now been hotfixed so that they now scale down to level 98 as before.

We're forwarding on reports we receive of perceived scaling issues (such as mobs taking an excessively long time to defeat, mechanics being lethal that were not lethal before etc.) and if you come across anything like this in-game, please submit a bug report.


At least point it is kind of obvious that you are using live servers to properly beta test things. This is so below your standard and quality, and it's honestly sad.

What I don't appreciate is the silence, since the Q&A we've heard nothing, no updates on the situation. What is going on? Why isn't this sorted yet? Where are the Blue responses on the issue? The pre-patch period is fantastic for levelling alts. I don't buy into the conspiracy this is to sell boosts but the incompetency and low level of communication is not acceptable in a digital age.


This many times over. There has been so much good feedback on this issue, and not just emotionally-driven cries for an easier leveling experience.

In many ways, community has come forward with pointing out real issues, and yet all we get is a Hotfix that fixes some related issues but not specifically what the majority of players are reporting.

There was a Blue response on the US forums, but only in the form of a personal opinion.
Personally having leveled a lot of character over the years seen it all done it all, the whole 1-110 needs a complete revamp streamlined zone for vet's or people who dont want to do all that old crap again, but still have it as an option for those that want it.

A series of reworked zone's or fazed zone's that speed up the process similar to how a dk's gains his skills in the starting leveling zone. The pre requisite being having a lvl capped character or two. I see no reason why questing in 2-3 zones shouldn't get me from 1 to 110 it's stupidly slow given the age of the game. It would not take a lot of work if it was only one or two zone's of new content to get you to the latest xpack and leave the old world to those that want it as an option. Cause im so done with it ...14 years of content to go through when you think about it.

Any desire i have to lvl a new race is gone with this painfully slow lvling.
I bet most newbies quit between lvl 60-80. It takes ages with hierlooms, I dont want to know how frustraiting it must be without them.

Reducing dmg of mobs by 25% is helpful, but it doesnt really make leveling any quicker since everything lvl 80+ has more hp than legion mobs. I canceled my sub and dont plan on getting BFA at the moment. This might change depending on how they deal with the leveling issue.


Do you only play this game for the leveling experience? There is a lot more to the game than just leveling new characters? :-)

I do agree that the leveling need to be fixed, too slow and boring.


I do new content when it comes out, but they cant pump out new content quicker than we can play through it. With leveling off the table, there is about 3 weeks of new content coming with BFA until they release raids and stuff. not worth the price tag + sub
Another round of hotfixes live, and what do you think? Nothing that address issues with leveling speed again...

I logged my old 85 alliance paladin with some decent Cataclysm raid gear. Obviously, the squish has nerfed all previous expansion raid gears to oblivion.
I tested some regular mobs in Twilight Highlands. They literally take 5x more time to kill than pre-patch.
Seems like whole ~45-90 range needs fixing ASAP!
Nothing done about the leveling still. So you're fixing this dead Argus content with BFA around the corner (fixing it in a completely dumb way on top of it) while leveling and old raids are completely broken...

Then you have this genius community manager telling people to report scaling issues as if the entire game isn't plagued with it. Do you want me to report every mob to you from 1 to 110?

Understood. I fell asleep during my first dungeon where the mobs @ level 60 have more HP than the mobs in Legion.
Hey i have an idea lets remove Argus AHOTC and the Spellwing mount before prepatch,then roll out the said prepatch destroy anything that was left from Antorus and then try to fix..it? 3 weeks before BFA? Under!@#$ingstood.

Also just to make it better lets also nerf everyones HP by 90% and their dmg by 60% but let the dog of sargeras tick for 20k.

Also leveling is just OMEGALUL.
How did this not get fixed in latest hotfix?
Why would blizzard give decently fast lvling experience when they can get 60€ for that. I wouldn't be surprised if they went just full cash grab and abandon WoW soon to move on to newer projects.

My pal (newbie) who hasn't even hit 40 yet hasn't logged on since Friday and I am not sure he will again unless I can say the changes have been reverted to 7.3.5.

If the levelling content was fresh and comparable to present day offerings then I might be able to see why Blizz wants to stretch the process out but the reality is it's not. I am trying to see the reasons behind their intentions, maybe they've come to the conclusion that people want to slog and grind, but surely that's a naieve conclusion. Have they perhaps injected some vanilla coding in error?
Still waiting for the promised fix on leveling. I paid for Battle for Azeroth and I want to have a character that I was leveling before you screwed the leveling experience, ready for the expansion.

Have some respect for the customers that put your company on the map ffs.

Oh, so there has been an announcement for a fix regarding this? Or you mean that you are waiting for an announcement regarding this?

I cancelled my subscription yesterday and will probably return in the future when the game is fixed again. Enjoying GW2 now instead :)
