What the title says. The coronavirus crisis is one of the main reasons the double XP buff was put on (or at least the wording of the blog post suggested so) and the crisis isn’t calming down yet - Restrictions are still very much in place around the world.
Double XP would be good for the game at this point in time, as well. With all of the Shadowlands info dropped recently, people are more likely to be leveling alts in preparation for the changes and goodies coming in Shadowlands. Focus on alts has usually been utilized as a way to keep people interested and playing during the downtime between the last patch of an expansion and a new expansion, so having double XP continue forward for, say, a month would likely keep people playing, as well as give more people a chance to take advantage of it (in the USA at least) since stimulus checks are starting to come in.
Pretty sure most people would really like having double XP extended, it should definitely be something considered by the devs.
Keep it up till the leveling changes are out with the prepatch imo. Or at least till quarantine ends for the most part. I don’t know anyone particularly against this idea, but I’ve seen some people saying it was generous in the first place so we should just be happy with what we got.
Edit: I could finally not be lazy and level one of each class to max for when Shadowlands is out plus maybe some more for customization since I’m an altoholic.
I don’t see the point of doubling the leveling speed, then reducing it, only to make it faster in shadowlands again.
Might as well implement the change once and for all until shadowlands hits
Realistically I feel like they’d lose more money than they’d gain by getting rid of the buff. If they keep it going into May, they’re more likely to retain subs an extra month. Otherwise there’s probably a decent amount of people that will simply not re-sub in May because leveling is slow again.
Sometimes both goals can align. There aren’t a lot of people complaining about the bonus. TBH, I expected a lot more “double xp is a slap in the face,” or “double xp is ruining the game,” posts.
So, we get to level faster and Activision gets a bump for their quarterly results.
I also think we will get 9.0 around August. The setup novel typically predates the .0 patch by about a month. Before the Storm came out 1 month before 8.0; Illidan 2 months. The .0 patch is usually in June/July.
Now, party due to COVID and some other things, it feels like they are about a month off from their normal schedule, so I am thinking mid-August we will see 9.0
I see no problem in asking if it can be extended and it was nice of them to even give us this.
Maybe they will feel like they have crapped on us with some of there terrible ideas and extend it
Also, take heirlooms off and don’t grind. even in retail, if you strictly level through quests that YOU want to do, it takes muchhh longer than someone using a guide or AAP.
let me dream
