RDF iLvl Requirements on latest PTR

WoW Classic Cataclysm Classic Discussion

(Topic copy & paste from NA forum with some additional info)

It appears the PTR was updated with adjusted iLvl requirements, so here they are Just for your reference before tomorrow’s RDF release.

  • Gamma - 210 iLevel (4.6 GS)
  • Beta - 200 iLevel (4.2 GS)
  • Alpha - 187 iLevel (3.7 GS)
  • Heroic - 180 iLevel (3.4 GS)
  • Normal - no iLevel requirement (even 0 iLvl is available)

(Not sure why, but The Forge of Souls normal mode minimum iLevel is set to 75)

iLevel is based on any items you have equipped, in your bag, or in your bank. So if you aren’t at the 210 threshold yet, you can need on items that you might not want just to bump your iLevel a little bit and you can queue NAKED if you have enough ilevel in bag/bank :slight_smile:

Do you think the required level is enough? low? high?

Greetings.

RDF always pushed undergeared randoms to be carried. This led to death of 5ppl content untill Challenge mode golds were introduced in MoP.

I think Gammas should had been around 4,8-4,9 GS
Betas 4,4
Alphas 4
And the rest is fine.

I am with you in those numbers and i will gear two fresh chars, i prefer have to reach a higher ilvl to queue gamma than a lower and be paired with low geared ppl…

It’s fine. People can still create their own groups like before if they think it’s too hard with some lower geared randoms.

May the RNGesus have mercy on your soul in Heroic betas/gammas

Dunno findin Ur own group for RHC takes approx 1m, so u will skip newbies, hard?

Thats too high. You can do Beta’s with a full group of 3.5k NP (it will just take way longer).
Cheesing the system on the other hand is a problem.

Experimented with Gamma in LFD. First run was wiping on the tentacle in HOS when I joined, disbanded shortly after. 2nd group disbanded because the healer had to randomly leave 2 packs into Oculus.

Gamma is too hard for people below ilvl230 in LFD and people will leave at the first sign of any trouble, people will vote kick undergeared. 15min timer cooldown once you enter a dungeon. It’s going to be a disaster, I think I will only premade it.

210 ilvl = 4.1-4.2 gs
Yes i think it is enough to just complete the dungeon, 5k+ is overgear to zerg it.

People oh god, do not let this go live lol.

I was thinking 230 or even 235.

People are really really bad.

210 should be the limit for beta or even higher than that.

We need to filter out the people who are bad.

Gamma was designed as catch-up system for gearing people, it can be done with full group 210ilvl or even lower, yes maybe not easily and with some wipes, but it is still easier even in 210ilvl then, for example, TBC heroics in TBC phase1. You just used to faceroll dungeons, and anything that can’t be facerolled is bad for you.

I’ve seen what 4200 Gs people are like in beta…

I don’t want those people in an even harder mode.
