At 6am PST, the TW changed from Classic to TBC.
According to the in-game calendar, there is a Timewalking even every week from now until the end of the Anniversary.
Can we expect that each week will progress to the following expansion (Wrath, Cata, MoP, etc)?
Or will we be alternating (TBC, Classic, Wrath, Classic, etc)?
Or some other pattern?
Does the in-game calendar not tell you which tw event will be active? Could’ve swore you could click on the event to see.
It does.
After this week is two more weeks of Classic, then WotLK.
Interesting, never noticed that before. Thank you.
But it also creates a new rant at Blizzard because that notice says Players level 10 or higher can participate, but RDF requires an ilevel of 75 in order to queue which is not attainable until level 20-25.
My understanding is that Classic is up every week that the Anniversary event is live, and then if there is another TW event scheduled, they will both be active. Maybe not, but that’s how I read it.
It does?
I’ve been able to queue for TW on level 10 from the get go.
Edit:
For Classic!
I cannot queue for TBC because new level requirements are in place now. Just tested it.
That was how I read it as well, but when the change happened this morning only TBC TW is available in the RDF.
So, I just rewatched the WoWcast where they specifically say you can queue for TW from level 10
I initially thought they meant JUST Classic, but he does not say that.
Here is the chart for what level you need to be to queue for TW dungeons
So it is either bug or he didn’t make it clear it is for Classic only?
I logged on a fresh made alt and it’s ivl was 15, not something I normally pay attention to.
Came here JUST to see if anyone else noticed. It was not supposed to change until 7:00 PST, so it switched an hour early. I had 2 runs left for my weekly & would have had no problem getting them done IF it had not switched over early. Would like my weekly items please & thank you very much.
As far as the cycle, I believe the calendar does list which are coming up & they should follow the same rotation as they always have (I believe Classic TW events will run at the same time as other TW events when they pop up).
I will assume whoever at Blizzard updated that chart was given incomplete information from the Developers.
I was playing a low level this morning and finished Strat Dead no problem. Tried to queue again and it would not let me which is when I noticed the change to TBC TW and the ilevel restriction note.
At level 23 my lowbie was only ilevel 72. I queued for a DF normal and when my character hit level 24, which also increased their ilevel to 75, they were able to queue for TBC TW no problem.
Oh, and a clarification on the level boost item in this screenshot. They apply the Gear Update in a similar fashion. So if you accept one of those (even though it does not add any levels), you also can’t queue for 24 hours.
You also can’t be in Chromie Time. It is considered a conflicting Timewalking campaign.
Lost my Trust Level due to inactivity, it seems…
I understand all that.
Wowcast said level 10 could queue for TW. Level 10 cannot queue for TBC TW unless they have an ilvl of 75 (min).
TBC is now the weekly TW, unless both Classic and TBC were meant to run at the same time, right before shutdown they were not.
Guide from the help article lists the level requirements which do not match up with what a developer said on the Wowcast.
Clarification is needed from a developer or agent representing developers.
The real question is how is the new scaling in TBC instances?
Understand that I do not know the actual levels of the players I was with, but the one that I did do was essentially just longer & more tedious. I also had to heal myself through most of it, either because the healer’s heals didn’t or they couldn’t due to needing to keep the tank alive. I did notice EVERYONE took a lot of damage. Took about twice as long as normal and was boring as heck (because buffing the health of everything in a TW so that it takes at least twice as long to die doesn’t increase engagement or fun, just makes it boring). We were in Shattered Halls.
after the anniversary i heard comes timeways again
So you are upset because… access is… easier? I’m just trying to understand here. Seems like EVERY change made to this game pisses someone off 
If you hover over your teammates, it will tell you their actual level.
This could have been answered by just looking at the in game calendar it literally tells you that they are going in order
Turbulent timeways will return next patch so it will probably be back to back then.
They’re not complaining about access being easier. I’m confused as to how you got that from what they said.
