Good job, Blizzard. You listened before it was too late.

i Don’t really understand this post… it never occurred to me that there could be benefits from turning xp off

It doesn’t seem like that long ago.

This is very good to hear. I am still concerned that for some reason in Legion this type of boosting was “ok” but now in BfA it is not. If the ultimate goal is to get players to level through the zones instead of expos, you have to put a bigger/another carrot on that stick. There is absolutely zero reason/enjoyment completing the same quest in the same zone for 4+ toons. If you want to encourage players to level through zones maybe have quests reward a bonus reward if you have done the quest 1x before. Could be something like cosmetic or gear. Maybe cosmetic so you dont get “gg gearing is too ez”, something like you have a X% chance to get a pet (maybe even a toy you get from paragon chests) from a quest turn in/complete chapter. I whole heartedly believe that its better to encourage a certain behavoir/action rather than penalize/block a behavior that has no ill effect. Put a bigger carrot on a stick to make ppl want to level multiple times through the same content instead of blocking a currently utilized leveling process.

For those that may have missed it.

Why not just make the freaking islands 111 or higher? Folks who stay 110 can still do the old content like super heroes… big deal there. Don’t royally screw up an entire bracket of xp-off (111-119) just because you guys can’t figure out how to do something without hastily making a bad decision. It’s only going to cause those folks who were having fun in that bracket to move on.

Although I do know what warlocks are going through this xpac I agree with this post completely.

Buhahahaha.

Anyway, good job on not putting the change through and instead looking at the real issue.

The point is that this was even on the table. Someone suggested this and someone else was like yeah we should do that. There have been so many horrible decisions lately that I don’t have any faith in them to come up with a good solution, let alone fix the outstanding problems. I just have to find fun things and not tell anyone about them or else Blizzard will fix™ them.

So instead of fixing it so 110s aren’t FAR MORE POWERFUL than our actual mains in scaled content you just disable the ability to lock characters there.

What a joke. This expansion is such a joke.

Could pleasehotfix the mage runebound set on human males? I want the sleeves back and a bug made them all wierd and stuck to the arms , thanks.

So… maybe theres a problem with you stupid super slow levelling? Ever think that maybe THAT is what you should be fixing?

The levelling rate was fine before you went it screwed it up and it slowed it down. Just to falsify your MAU stats.

Hotfixing a community work around for the leveling issue that exists. That’s like Bethesda telling the community there won’t be mod support in Fallout 76 for another year.

And leave the level 19 twinks alone. So when new players come and get wrecked in their first BG they will quit early rather than play this trash.

The fact that this even got far enough along that the thought they would do it proves that BFA is not going to be saved at any point in it’s life cycle. The people working on it at the leadership level don’t have a game design bone in their bodies.

No! Behavior isn’t the job of an Entertainment Company (unless egregious or damaging)!!

twinks have always been in this game - they aren’t used to ‘power level’ people though. And new players are going to get wrecked in their first bg, especially if they aren’t playing an op class/spec anyway.

That I agree with, but at least they went back on this stupid decision before acting on it at least.

Now they just need to listen to more things.
