Legion assaults apparently no longer scale down.


Please, this better be a bug.

Blizzard, please stop trying to shoehorn us into quests! I'm a loremaster, I've seen the quests. They're no longer fun or entertaining, they're a mindless chore that brings nothing but boredom and frustration.

Leveling needs to become more than quests. You can't expect new players to sit through content that is almost (And in some cases over) a decade old to get to the real game.

Add world quests, group-based dynamic events, scenarios, un-nerf dungeons. Give players a reason to group up and tackle content.

Do not force us down this linear path of leveling exclusively through quests.

EDIT: Karazahn trash farming is also no longer viable.
They’ve also increased the number of hits it takes to down each mob (Again), turning them into damage sponges.

EDIT 2: Legion invasions no longer scale with your level.


they want you to quest in the changed areas.. if not for feedback but to play the game..


Changed? Nothing's changed since Cataclysm. I'm a loremaster, there's nothing left to see.
Blizzard is intentionally making the levelling experience unbearable to sell boosts.

I'd say I'm just waiting for classic now but I don't have much faith they won't put some sort of store in that either.

What a joke.
Leveling a rogue right now @ level 83, takes 5 minutes per boss rofl. Was also just at the training bag quest in Jade Forest and apparently it's health isn't really scaled down, so it took me a good 5 minutes to kill a !@#$ing training bag...

If you find leveling hard now then classic servers is nothing for you.


Indeed.

So ?

People on this thread are probably not interested in those BS servers anyway, tbh.
Shoehorn quests? They are getting you to buy the €60 boosts mate.


Indeed. In fact you can’t unlock the Heritage Armor if you boost any Allied Race

/facepalm
:(
^----
That's really all I have left to say... It's making me sad that it's a dragged out process even for us veterans who've done this a million times.
Yes - War mode is great, 10/10 for that, but kicking everything else to the ground?
Please, no.

And you seem to be under the delusion that everyone will be after heritage armour.

Ofc , now a new expansion is coming it's the perfect time to show them your wallets .
Their business model is obvious .

No, i’m not saying that everyone is after the heritage armor, but you have to consider that the fact you can’t unlock them if you boost your char is a thing.
So, saying that they just want 60 bucks from you is a little exagerated imho, if this is the case, why doing this limitation?

[quote]I just logged in to continue leveling my 60-something warrior and realized a few new things:

The dungeon exp bonus now lists as a reward that will only happen once per week.
Having a friend to power you through stockades/ramparts/whatever doesn't give the large exp bonus at the end, basically killing that option.
Basically back to questing for everyone?

I love levlling via questing, but even I admit I do queue for dungeons and BG's whilst doing so
Not looked at it yet, but leveling through dungeons is really important for me when player healer and tank specs, so questing is almost a no go for me in those cases. In other words, I don't want any nerfs to dungeon XP.

All they changed was the health of mobs and how much exp it takes to level.

The content is exactly the same as cata.
You bunch of crybabies! Have you actually gone on to an alt and tried to level today?

Invasions not scaleing - Could be a bug, however i went on an old 101 shaman and I could easily solo 2-4 110 demons without problems. And this was without warmode, if I had that it would be even easier due to more dps and defense.

Leveling in open world - Super easy now! Classes are not tuned around artifact weapons now so all classes are overall more powerful in all levels. Yesterday I could die if I aggroed 3-4 mobs, today it's not a problem on my 98 fury warrior.

As for the dungeons, I think that is a bug, because I am getting pretty much the same amount of EXP from random dungeons. Maybe it is only a problem for people self-boosting in dungeons?

With my limited testing today it seems like leveling became alot easier with 8.0.1.
Try it for yourselves and see.

try level from scratch then come back
I start to feel like a very strange person for actually liking to level characters and do quests.

That's not a problem, but people need another option, especially when they've done it all so many times.
They're introducing oodles of allied races that requires manual leveling for "fancy" transmogs. The changes to leveling will be marketed as a way to make the transmogs exclusive, but to me it feels more like a way to make people buy overpriced boosts, or as a weak substitute for actual content.

I will right after I am done leveling my HM tauren warrior. Then I'm moving on to the next allied race. I enjoyed leveling before 8.0.1 and I'm sure I'm gonna enjoy it now.
