Blizz lied to us: Cloak EXP nerf killed my interests in this event

Yea, thought I could progress the exp more by playing alts, but nope. This really ruins the event.

I very rarely post on the forums outside of guild recruitment posts, but I have to agree and voice how ridiculously upset I am to find out about the stealth nerf to the cloak. I was super excited to power level a whole bunch of new characters that I haven’t played before to test them out before TWW. Now finding out that the cloak is nerfed for alts and it will be slower than just leveling in retail leaves a seriously sour taste in my mouth. This is on TOP of the scaling issues that are obviously a problem throughout the game mode.

This feels very similar to how I felt when they bait and switched me into thinking Diablo 4 was an awesome game during the hype event up to level 25, only to find out after I dropped $100 that the game after level 50 is complete garbage.

Quite frankly, I’m super sick of Blizzard’s crap. They are ridiculous tone deaf to everything that their playerbase wants and asks for, and it almost seems like they go actively out of their way to destroy people actually having fun.

agreed, killed my hype. Im still playing it, but I dont see myself playing beyond a week if they dont change anything. Plus the scaling feeling like you’re doing a M+20 when you want to do any sort of content.

Exactly. I was looking forward to leveling alts and farming everything. It looked like it was going to be fun. Now I’m picking some choice items and bailing asap.

I was so excited and pumped for this event, talked it up to friends and everything.

EXP nerfed? Not what was sold to us.

I wanted to level one of each armor class for this and my Troll and Orc for heritage. Won’t be doing that now. This really sucks and is very disappointing

Yeah they said the power would go to alts in the Video linked it below with the time stamp.

It’s Blizzard. They will fix the cloaks by nerfing the Primary stat, Vers, and Stamina that alts start with, so level 15 players wont be so OP in heroics. :rofl:

what are the cosmetics for, if you’re not subbed?

Most people don’t stay subbed at the tail end of an expansion because they aren’t going to really be playing. They will wait for the expansion, sub for 12-18 months, maybe less. That is why the game feels so much more alive in the first year of an expansion, and then dies.

How high can the XP% get on the cloak atm? I’ve seen various numbers, but at 70, mine is at 128% and won’t go any further.

For real. I did a heroic dungeon last night at lvl 69 and was getting one shot by insta spells with no cast time while being out dps’d by people 40+ levels below me. Beyond disappointed thus far.

Mine was at 155 last night but idk if it capped there or not. Haven’t logged in today

Ugh. I’m more than happy to farm content and beef up the stats on this thing in the hopes that they undo the alt decision, but if I can’t get it any higher, then I’ve already lost motivation.

That testing period on the PTR is now starting to feel a bit sinister to me. Any of you familiar with how some game publishers will wait until reviews for a game go out before stuffing it with things like microtransactions that would tank the review score? Remix is kinda feeling like that now. Get everyone hyped and excited from the experience on the PTR, then ruin everything by the time it goes live but hide it just deep enough that the metrics look great the first few days so they can have some pretty graphs to show off.

The xp nerf does suck but also is still pretty decent. At 6 hours in on my second character in the event, I am at level 66 with 182% xp buff. It starts off at a baseline of 100% but can go up past that as you gain threads on that character. Would still be nice if the xp wasn’t capped.

I feel like the xp boost didn’t work on my main past lvl 65 or around there. Last night before I hit 70 I was only getting the exact amt of xp quests were showing even with over 150% xp boost

yeah all saw that 300% exp only 100% ,im level 70 and have 40k bronze :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

Literally false advertisement then… Wth

You can level 10-70 on retail in under 6 hours with power leveling, and I can literally level myself through running dungeons with a twink at level 11 and finishing with timewalking dungeons from 60-70 in about the same time frame. That means it isn’t any faster than normal, and we can’t use the characters on retail for months, nor do we keep any of the gear we have to spend time on upgrading. It’s awful, and the people not wanting to admit that it is are the ones who will stop them from fixing it.

It’s starting to seem more and more like this is exactly what their plan was the entire time. Make it seem way better than it was on PTR so everyone sees that to get excited about it. Even having thousands of people resubbing to play the game mode, but don’t have ANY posts or ANYTHING that even mentions the possibility of the cape not carrying over. That was the promise of the original video we all saw during the announcement. It’s 100% false advertising.
