Blizz you gotta separate out XP-Off Twinking

It will happen eventually. Here’s why:

  1. I have the un-midas touch.
  2. I recently got into BGs and will twink this char for 29
  3. I will shamelessly camp PVE zones and BG graveyards for funzies
  4. Because I enjoy #3 then see #1

I don’t know what there solution will be but xp-off bgs is gonna get regulated. See #1

Also, the fact that I posted in this thread will automagickly raise a red flag for Blizz. :slight_smile:

Don’t be so hard on yourself. We still luff you.

What’s wrong with separating xp-off twinks?

Raises queue times for one group of people. Blizzard has a lot of balance changes in the works for the patch regarding low level pvp.

There is only one real complaint, and that’s the time-in-queue one. Which is self-correcting. If you want a faster bg queue time, turn xp back on. Its right up there with “I keep getting ganked in WM while I level”, to which the response always is…?

It isn’t only that people get some personal gratification from smashing untwinked players, I imagine they also gain increases in their Prestige levels? But personally I’d find it a very dull way to do that, very grindy.

I am all in favour of xp-off players being only queued with other xp-off players. If they want to smash each other, go for it. I’ve been levelling a Priest through the level 80’s backet and I’ve met up with a few of them who make the whole experience so unbalanced as to be ridiculous. I cannot imagine that it was Blizzard’s intention for the bg experience to be that way.

This might shock you, but 99.9% of the on-topic posts in these threads are regurgitated from the last few posts of the same topic. It’s not nice to point fingers when you are all doing the same thing.

Nothing. Even those who were separated said that queue times were a non-issue. It’s a few people who are incapable of PVPing unless they know casual levelers are in the mix for fodder purposes.

It’s not, which is why they are making changes to gear coming up. One other thing they may need to look into is gem stacking.

The smaller brackets, 19/29, sure. But there’s many more brackets than those 2.

They can make twink brackets as follows

L19,29,39 in one bracket 49,59,69 in another etc…

That’s impossible due to talents…

Or perhaps do something as simple as have an automatic switch on for experience when a bg pops, and when you leave you have to go turn it back off again. Similar to the fix for hunter pets growl feature.

That would be a very easy fix. Eventually the character would go over into the next bracket and any advantage would be lost, I’d assume.

why is that impossible

So you’re fine with completely destroying characters that players have invested time into because they enjoy it just so people who are passing through will have it a little easier?

Why not advocate for better balance that doesn’t destroy a playstyle that has always existed in this game?

Curious…did you read the thread and/or any of the other twink-related threads?

Because you get certain talents at certain levels. You can’t be 19 and have the level 20s abilities unlocked.

Who said anything about unlocking talents. Are you saying it would be unfair?

You have to reach a certain level for certain abilities. Take 19 for instance, the 29s and 39s would have so many more abilities unlocked. Not to mention even just using a mount.

I’m slow. What are you saying. That it would be unfair?

Ofc it would be.
