There are some zones that nobody bothers with anymore. I never see anyone out there. I know because I level a lot of alts.
What would bring players back to these zones? Make them hot zones for like a week at a time. Hot zones would be like, triple experience, triple reputation, and extra treasure chests.
What are the hot zones for this week?
Desolace, Hellfire Peninsula, and Twilight Highlands.
Would be nice…could essentially level from 10-30 in Desolace, then 30-50 quite easily in Hellfire and/or Twilight Highlands.
Actually a good idea… I feel like there’s a lot of locations that I go and fly over and be like “wow that place looks really cool… I wish I had a reason to level there.” It’d also maybe change the optimal leveling route and even make people level in long-forgotten zones… great suggestion mate.
Desolace is too desolate for me. It’s a pain to get to and I can’t stand zones that make me do an hours worth of questing before getting to a major hub with a resting area. Hellfire I actually do a lot there.
Hopefully when we come back from the Shadowlands the world will be vastly improved, at least content wise. I would love so much for the rest of the game to get the same graphical makeover that Darkshore and Arathi got. Would be cool if the Night Elves reclaimed Dire Maul and made it their capital too, though being it’s so far from Hyjal I doubt that would happen.
I don’t think there’s a Desolace specific tabard but there’s quests that give rep with factions that do have tabards. There will of course be some that go there for other random things, myself included. One of my goals is doing all possible quests in wow, also to collect all transmog so I’ve been to Desolace many times lol.
It’s too bad threads like these don’t garner the same level attention and likes as the spam threads that we see repeated day in and day out. This would be a good one to tag a dev in. Hopefully they see it and it doesn’t get buried under the endless stream of filth.
Why literally force player to go level in a zone or at the very least make them feel like they are forced to due to really good bonuses what if they do not like that zone?
Let people level the way they want to and enjoy, dead zone are probably dead for a reason, not everybody use “Optimal” leveling zones guides and merely level in the zones they enjoy. (Or they just spam dungeons to level cap)
