ilvl scaling was a mistake. everything was fine solo’ing old raids before it was invented!

I’m sorry if that was your experience, but I had a blast in WoD. My guild was thriving. I had tons of friends online to do stuff. Both the open world questing and the instanced content was fun for me. My only complaint was a constant lack of bag space.

The one whole daily before 6.2?

I knew it wasn’t good when they announced it.

I’m talking about the multiple questing zones with a fancy cinematic at the end of each. I still play through some of them on alts to this day. I enjoyed the dungeon quests from the garrison Inn, too, and ran some earlier tonight on an alt.

Ya its terrible, i agree. Ilvl scaling needs to be completely removed from the game. They literally have it in there to slow down i guess for their bs metrics or something.

But this is for sure the opposite it should feel like, def makes the game less fun and more tedious.

No thanks. I did the nazjatar dalies and that was enough. What an absolutely broken system it needs to go. Hell just solo any “elite” WQ “rare” and they got like 500k hp and it takes like 10 minutes to kill them. Compared to me soloing it in like 20 seconds in 8.3.

ilvl scaling is one of the worst things i think they have ever added to the game honestly. just makes every so damn tedious.

If they don’t want to remove it, it should at least be capped.

Scaling sucks especially for healers who don’t wanna multispec. I just wanna feral affinity and feel like I’m actually getting through WQs at a reasonable pace. But, my damage scales even slower than a DPS so questing feels substantially harder now than 30 ilvls ago. Mobs scale harder than my damage can.

Omg I just made a post about this!! I went from ilevel140-182 and don’t feel stronger out in the world.

I thought it was only me :joy: because people kept telling me they are killing things much faster

I hate that Blizzard keeps adding this crap to every expansion now. Legion and BFA mobs scaling is fubar and it’s the same song and dance this expansion. Gearing and leveling up just to feel more worthless is not fun and frankly I’m tired of it.

In addition to the scaling what the hell is up with only having a few graveyards, can’t fly while dead and no flight whistle either? You guys trying to piss everyone off or what?

I completely agree, there is alot of changes and things in place right now that legit feel like they are designed to deliberately frustrate the player, and make the game more tedious and less fun.

I agree this should not be happening. Its the opposite of how an rpg is supposed to feel.

at least put a cap on world mobs from fresh 60 to ilvl182 and mobs are the same if not harder

Between world scaling and the smallest increase in stat gain of any expansion to date, shadowlands feels like less of an expansion and more of a content patch. Welcome to 9.4, assault on shadowlands! ilvl jumped but its only 3-4 stat per piece and the covenant bonuses are pretty lackluster. Was better off staying at 50 w azerite

+1 to OP’s message. with the mechanical changes in this Xpac, the leveling process has been for the most part unenjoyable.

  1. ilvl scaling makes you feel less powerful as you gain levels, not more. Totally backwards.
  2. gear squish, while needed IMO, still make each upgrade feel far less impacting on your overall progress.
  3. Borrowed powers distinctly separate your progression from your character, as a result I feel far less connected with my toons then every before.
  4. With no real skills gained from 50-60, and no new talents, reaching 60 is almost the least interesting thing to do in the game atm.
  5. add to #4 the difficulty in the Maw (the end game) initially, I am literally having more fun building my garrison and doing pet battles on most of my toons then trying to get all my 50’s up to 60.

It’s a sad state when content from 4 expansions ago is more fun then current content.

What scaling? I bulldoze everything.
