Before anyone goes on a rant. yes I know they made it 200% faster to level, but why not buff that to 1000% (10X speed) and buff the quest rewards 10 X to match (so we get the gold for mount at 40). does this mean you only do a couple of starter area quests before you ding level 15 and have to move on? yes, does that matter? No, abolutely not. Leveling grind is not content. you don’t begin playing the game until you are level 25-40-50-60. before that, the game is a chore, something you need to do to get to the fun part. The saying “it gets fun, 100 hours in” rings a bell here. Not exactly 100 hours, but you get my meaning.
The short message here is: 2 X is not fast enough. Other games have 10 X xp why not this one? I’ll tell you what, make it a weekend thing, like the BG events. some special 10 X xp event. that would help loads of people like me who hate leveling. You could even play into the “discovery” aspect of it, like “the goblins and gnomes have DISCOVERED this fancy XP juicer upper machine”, you step into it to get the buff and of course it lasts through death. But maybe it only lasts for 72 hours, so you could make it a weekend thing if you like… or not, just make it permanent.
Discoverers delight + student fodder’s + sleeping bag + BFD giving a huge amount of XP, is more than enough, it’s insanely fast,
I went from level 1…not level 25…level 1 to level 40 in one weekend,
That guy that works 2 jobs to feed his family which includes 3 sets of twins, can easily reach level cap,
We dont need more.
The absolute state of this entitlement.
Maybe you just don’t like playing the game?
Why not just make it so you can choose what lvl you want to be every single time you log into the game?
Why dont they just have cheatcodes for infinity gold? God mode?
Why cant we just go to a vendor and grt every item in the game for free?
I don’t like leveling, max level stuff is more fun for sure.
Levelling IS part of the game, just because you don’t like it and think differently doesn’t mean it should be changed.
Leveling is the biggest part of the game.
After that it is do raid and then wait for reset.
Levelling was horrible until they actually started creating good, finished zones with thought-out flight paths,good quest chains and soundtrack in TBC
Vanilla zones are by far the worst of all expansions, with the exception of a couple starting zones. Levelling in Vanilla will always be a chore.
Go and play retail then. Classic is about the journey. Retail is such boring mess bc of people who “who hate leveling”. The world is dead, players hanging in cities,. Is that what you think SoD should be too? Ruin another game that actually gives players a choice if they don’t like retail.
Cry me a river. It’s a part of the game. The game shouldn’t be completely altered because you don’t like playing a huge part of it.
This is why I think P1 was better than P2 because it was exciting to go around and see all the rune acquisitions. 10 runes for 9 classes with multiple ways of doing it for some was great for variety. A part of the problem with P2 is that it lacks new-ness. I understand if they can’t just slap on 12 new runes per phase but then the lack of a let’s say a frozen makura has to be replaced with something else to make that questing process interesting to go through again.
Cause yeah the way a lot of zones handle questing isn’t great in vanilla but at least the sense of exploration and communal effort in talking about the runes and new things made up for it. P2 lacked that, simple really.
I never said I want it altered in my comment. Vanilla is based on these poorly designed unfinished zones, they cannot and should not be removed. Once we’re past the Vanilla stage, the horrible zones will become a thing of the past.
I just commented so that the OP understands he’s not the only one who sees it and feels some support.
Bro what? I’m was leveling an alt and it’s insane how faster everything is, genuinely don’t know what you’re yapping about
How many hours a day you play? I get it in like 4 on work days and that brought me to 40 in a week and a half with the weekend being dedicated to actual irl stuff lmao
P1 was tolorable, 1-25 isn’t that long, 25-40 on the other hand… I bet even the 10 levels in Phase 3 will be a drag, because the XP required just goes up and up. As for the runes, get real, 99% of the players look it up on WoW head, the “discovery” part is long since dead, even addons show you where the runes drop or are now, but hey, if you don’t use this addons and stay away from WoW head, good on you. But I bet you don’t, I bet you use Questie or something similar.
I wonder why people who dislike leveling play a classic version of the game instead of retail.
because I gave up hope that Blizzard would ever make Retail fun again after Shadowlands. Quite literally every other expansion since Wrath has been rubbish. Cata, WoD, SL, so I wasn’t gonna pay 60 $ for another expansion in the hopes that the trend continued and by the looks of Dragonflight, it did, Dragon flight is good by the looks of it, but I’m not starting now. but does that mean the next one will be bad then? Not buying that, I’ll pass. To be honest with you, I’m probably never playing retail again, the trust is gone. I regret coming back to WoW after quitting at the end of Wrath. I went 2½ years without play a MMO, because SWTOR didn’t release until December 2011. I “took a break” from that to level up a character to get reeady for WoD, because the concept sounded cool. in hindsight, I regret that now, I should have never come back.
I wanted to try SoD because it sounded different and could be cool to try out and in Part, it has been, but the most boring part still remains, the boring grind to max level. But hey, at least its twice as fast now, but honestly, I wish it was faster, thats the whole point of this thread.
I have enjoyed my time as retri paladin.
1-20 questing and then went to get divine storm then 21-25 in dungeons like SFK & WC.
Tho this was near launch ehen there was alot of groups
Then with phase 2 Stockades, RFK andSM multi to 40, Tho again when there were 10+ groups constantly.
But now when the lower level population is getting fewer and fewer i think runes that require group like frozen murloc should be changed… noone wants to wait so long for people.
How sick can you be? This is the 1000th time you are lvling a character in wow you people are worst than the bots blizzard should ban you not the bots, we are here for the new content not to do the stupid old boring quests for the 1000th time
you prob play on a normal server. world pvp while lvling is the most fun thing ever. if you make it any faster, you’ll kill it
Seen to activity overall on a character, its probably the thing you do the least aswell. People spend more time waiting to ress in BGs and running between AH and mailbox than leveling at this point.
If 12 hours investment is to much for you, perhaps you are playing the wrong game.
WoW is not for you. Or move to retail. everytime new content there for you. Leveling is part of WoW. It has the word WORLD in it. You can connect or fight with people during the journey. If you don’t like it, then bye bye lil bro
