Dead Prepatch Event

Leveled my 50 mage and 55 paladin in the event last night and this morning. This afternoon in Northrend there’s literally only 2 other players, we can’t kill the bosses and the events are taking forever to complete.

Is it just the time of day, is there a separate phase for low lvls that no one does, or do people just skip the Northrend one now?

Make sure you’re not in Chromie Time.

I feel like a big contributor to this is that anyone who wants to rush leveling would just do it in Timewalking (Edit: I meant Pandaria Remix, derp)

Different servers and shards will have different outcomes.

Did one quest this morning on Wyrmrest Accord. Have no idea what shard or whatever I zoned into or even how to change shards. But anyway, the event took about 15 minutes from 100% to Ragnaros dead. Then I turned in my quest and logged off for work.

Probably a combination of time of day, school starting, people stuck at work, and/or people not bothering with Northrend because according to a Youtuber it’s not a good zone to level in.

I have not logged in to do the prepatch event and have it not going at a blistering pace. Must be a weird anomaly.

Since I don’t know what you mean by “Timewalking” in this case, I’ll just cover all my bases.

Chromie Time isn’t as fast. Remix and prelaunch event are equal. Timewalking dungeons aren’t up right now.

If people have Retail characters they want to finish leveling, they’re not going to delete them, risk the deletion bug that deletes your main, then remake them in Remix.

Prepatch is literally over at this point, friend. Were you busy when it debuted and the thousands and thousands of of us were lagging out the servers?

I mean at this point if everybody else is anything like myself…they got everything from it. I got every transmog from cloth, leather, mail, plate, all weapons, and leveled up a warlock and my shaman. I’m completely done with it.

It’s the same as the other two zones for prelaunch, so I don’t understand this?

Except it’s not. And it’s been just as busy all day here.

I dont get it either… I dont think Ive leveled characters so fast as this pre patch event. IMO it was faster than Remix.

FYI, <hidden text> is usable in place of the 10 characters thing.

I still think he’s in Chromie Time.

I’ve found the events in Dragonblight can be a tad buggy, Thorim or w/e the “In The Mountains” one, sometimes won’t give XP for example, Murloc one can be buggy too and reset or just phase out.

Maybe that’s why?

The levelers would be crazy to skip it since you can usually fly from one mini boss to the next with three total - there’s little downtime in that hour w/ major xp gains to be had.

Yes, Chromie time was the issue.

Thank you!

Why not lvl in Pandaria remix?
I lvl’d a paladin yesterday from lvl 10 to 70 in 1h 30 mins.

When remix is over in 1 day and a bit, it’ll remain as a normal lvl 70 paladin. lol
