Ideas for a Level Scaling Toy!

Community General Discussion

I’ve recently been going back through old content on my level 80, literally obliterating anything that moves just by looking at it, and it got me thinking…

Would it be possible for Blizzard to add a new toy we get from Chromie that scales all old world mobs to our level?

I get that you can lock your level at a certain point to get this desired effect, but after 70 and starting the current expansion? Oh well, tough luck, send them to meet their makers kid. By implementing something like this, we could go though Xpacs at our own pace and make it as difficult as we want to make it.

Any thoughts or opinions? I’d love to hear it!

Been a problem for a long time. Gets brought up. The creator of the thread gets bashed. Some agree, most don’t.

The majority likes everything dying in one breath in old content. Even if it’s just an optional thing to scale for the people that want to do that…they don’t want you to have that and the excuses are stupid and it’s because of things like “they’ll be on the same shard as levelers!!” And a few other reasons I forgot because they are stupid and make no sense.

So yeah,

Good luck to your thread.

I agree signed… Give us a way to quest in old content without it being mind numbingly easy. So dumb. And this is like 85% of the game btw. and people want that lol.

Just a big ol carnival of one shotting mobs, toys, transmog, mounts, and pets.

Thanks for the information, I didn’t know people were so against having options on how to play WoW.

Lol, Why would that be any sort of problem anyways. Grey-Tagging Mobs went out of style years ago. If anything it would help levelers level up to end game content faster.

This. Like I don’t want to feel like a god when people are telling me I’m a nobody in vanilla zones lol.

It’s an interesting idea.

So long as the drops you get don’t scale, so that there isn’t a situation where some random trinket from some random old mob is BiS, I can’t really think of anything that would be wrong with this.

Thing is, our characters were nobodies in Vanilla zones. Now, they’ve got 20 years of saving the world and fighting back cosmic threats under their belts.

I completely agree. Loot Tables stay the same, just more health pools and damage output. Give me a challenge or at least take a couple more hits.

I’d like something like this as a resolution for Cata content. Specifically the five high end leveling zones that are gated by level requirement when playing Chromie Time.

The last time I tried Cata Chromie Time, I couldn’t actually play Hyjal or Uldum until the very end of the leveling experience, and then you can barely get quests done in those zones before you “age out” of Chromie Time.

I enjoy doing older content on overpowered max level toons but also wouldn’t mind a questing experience similar to retail expansion leveling. TWW
Questing content was trivial but level appropriate and I’d like that for older stuff too. At least sometimes.
