Gotta start with how much I enjoy the new leveling. Great job overall. Hiccups happen but this has been pretty fun.
However Hellfire peninsula needs some extra graveyards and some coherent quest hubs. Go to an area, kill everything there, turn in quests. 10 quests later, go back and re kill all the things you killed 20 minutes ago…then die and have to run over 1000 yards to your body.
This style was cool for a bit because of the nostalgia but got old pretty quick.
Some ideas.
Add graveyards
Add flying ghost mounts like in other places.
Group quest givers for each objective area in the same hub. It may change the narrative a bit but you did it with old dungeons so its okay.
I’m sure many other zones are the same way. Haven’t quested much in outland since bc and for 1 dk I lvled at the start of wrath.
Again. I really like seeing outland alive again but I’m sure it will become dead again soon enough without some probably simple adjustments.
Also to the readers. Which xpacs are you doing right now and which ones are your favorites for leveling?

I enjoyed HFP for leveling. Sure, there was some running, but it’s not really a large area. To appreciate how not bad it is, give Classic a whirl.
Harsh reality is if they change things people will get mad over them. Better for blizzard to just not change it and if people dislike it, to go somewhere else.
Yeah, that’s all of outland. I’m currently working on loremaster and every outland zone I’ve done so far has spread and non linear quest hubs.
It’s simply a product of leveling before it was revamped in cata. Classic zones got a good overhaul, but outland didnt.
don’t you get flying to run back to your corpse anyways?
Most BC zones are like that. I said it back when this was announced, but going to BC zones is only an option if you like the zones so much that being extremely inefficient isn’t a bother for you.
For comparison, a level in a BC zone took me longer than 2 and 3/4s of a levels in a WoD zone.
These are the only two I agree with, and on that point I think you wouldn’t need more graveyards if you had the flying ghost mounts.
I would rather preserve what this is now at the cost of anything else in the BC category, quests are pretty important and there are things done to old dungeons that still aren’t okay.
I do remember thinking “Didn’t I just kill 200 Hellboars?”
Nope, not in tbc zones. its all walking dead unless you died in a spot only accessible by flying.
