All 2 of them, eh?
My army of 110 alts can do any old content now. It sounds like you are having a learn to play issue if you can’t figure out how to solo ICC on a 110.
So you’d rather get some “yeet” than have a good chance at a rare drop?
It’s pretty clear that no one in this thread has ever farmed old content. Hint: doing something once a week on one character doesn’t count as “farming”.
Raids are NOT leveling content. Most players do not stop in between to do raids for leveling. Outdoor and Dungeons scale 10 to 50, raids don’t have to do that and can remain the way they are.
You mean all 14 of them? Yes.
Maybe you should get to leveling instead of whining.
I simply can’t wait for the inevitable instances of broken scaling that happens with every squish as a result of this.
All pre-Shadowlands content will be scaled to 10-50. If you look at current scaled content, you can see that the ilevel we get from zones is based only on our level, not the actual zone itself. That suggests that the ilevel from all non-starter pre-Shadowlands zones after level 50 will be the same.
im not misinterpreting anything, you misunderstood what I said, granted, I didn’t explain it very well
so let me try again
as it stands in the current game at level 120, you can generally solo Legion stuff, with some exceptions with class and difficulty settings
but you certainly can’t solo legion stuff at 110, obviously
anything pre legion is super easy
so in shadowlands, at level 50 you obviously won’t be able to solo BfA content
now the difference is, instead of everything pre BfA being super easy, it will all be the same difficulty as BfA … all raid content will scale to 50
so of course you’ll have to hit the cap in order to solo content, and provided that the entry level gear for lvl 60 is a big enough stat boost relative to current stats, then soloing old content will be easy
and as blizzard says you will be able to solo old content, the safe assumption is that you’ll need to be 60 and the gear difference from 50 (120 now) to 60 will be significant
Its just a number to indicate im capped on levels, doesnt really matter to me.
I don’t see how what you’re saying and where you’re coming from has anything to do with not leveling an alt to max. It’s just best practice.
Sounds like you are the one who is lazy. I have 2 accounts with 45 110’s on them.
It’s not “best practice” at all to spend time leveling a character that can perform its function perfectly fine without leveling to max and wasting time there.
I can see you like to waste your time. No problem, that’s your prerogative.
Well? Get to leveling.
It’s just a numbers adjustment. No need to worry. This is going to work just like an ilvl / stat squish. You will feel just as powerful in older content.
Now this, this is lazy.
Ir’s nothing at all like that. The reason is most likely one of psychology and getting new players interested without being daunted at the large number of levels to go through.
While it’s nice to finally attain the level cap of 120 after being 110 for two years, for a new player it could seem a like a lifetime to achieve that.
According to the the BlizzCon panel, the leveling process will be upwards of 60-70% faster than current leveling to max. It might not take too long to get those alts To 60 if that’s what needs to happen.
Regardless, Hope you can still continue to enjoy your game the way you prefer!
Here’s a breakdown of the main points shared at BlizzCon:
No. I wouldn’t want to be like you. I’m fine with other players playing the game as they wish. You are not and sound threatened that others choose to play a videogame differently than you do.
Then don’t level? Just keep posting here about how the sky is falling instead of bettering your account by leveling your characters. Either do or don’t. Just stop complaining about nothing.
LOL. No. The number of players quitting over being forced to level all characters to max and gear them up in order to farm old content will dwarf those who quit over flight.
That sounds like what will happen, but:
The raids for me seem a bit nebulous. Will level 80 raiding content scale the 42% (50/120) to ~33/35 level? Or will it scale to 50? Will the scale continue to take effect based on only level or ilevel?
I don’t have the answers to these but I can empathize with those concerned about the lack of definitive information.
They purposefully designed BFA so we had to level up 10 more levels, to get nothing but weaker as we leveled. Now they want to do a level squish to fix their damage to the game and horrid design decisions. Brilliant!
Legacy buffs in old raid aren’t going away, you will continue to be able to smash old content as if it were just as trivial as today.
