THE LVL SQUISH! (Problem)

[Razien-quelthalas (Razien)]

@Nuzia-stormscale

I see so many problems with this LVL squish everyone is talking about, they are opening a Classic wow this summer to 60, why would they make Retail level 60 as well,

The two are completely unrelated.

@Nuzia-stormscale

and what worries me and confusing the heck out of me, what will Classic Raids etc be then? huh? level 10? 5?

Lv30. They’d be halving the amount of current levels so…

@Razien-quelthalas

This is most likely the only way to properly reduce the amount of levels that we currently have.

Current level -> New Level
1 -> 1
10 -> 5
19 -> 9
20 -> 10
29 -> 14
30 -> 15
39 -> 19
40 -> 20
49 -> 24
50 -> 25
59 -> 29
60 -> 30
69 -> 34
70 -> 35
79 -> 39
80 -> 40
84 -> 42
85 -> 43
89 -> 44
90 -> 45
99 -> 49
100 -> 50
109 -> 54
110 -> 55
119 -> 59
120 -> 60

60 (Endgame) (Previously 120)

…Like that.

@Nuzia-stormscale

my fear in all this is it won’t fix anything

You’re right, It won’t. It’s a purely visual change. Leveling however would take twice as long.

You still won’t get anything new every time that you level up. You need the old talent system if you want to fix that.

@Nuzia-stormscale

farming transmog would then be a pain in the butt,

For some levels perhaps… It may cause some problems with trying to solo legacy content closer to endgame e.g. WoD/Legion stuff.

@Nuzia-stormscale

would levling be slow as well,

Yup.

@Nuzia-stormscale

I guess I am the only one who sees this as a problem and an annoyance.

There are a lot of people that are arguing against a level squish in like three or four other threads. You didn’t need to open this one tbh.
