I think the teleport is MASSIVELY over-hyped. its got less range than a warlock gate, and while gates certainly can be used for certain skips, there aren’t that many, which means viable venthyr gate skips are going to be even rarer.
Oh, the expansion where you needed to wait 18 months to play the game? Legion was the worst. 50x worse than corruptions. I don’t think I even get my best legendaries until just before prepatch or something. Oh and alts? yeah rofl.
On topic though, the expansion is just like any other for me, it looks exciting and I can’t wait to play it.
Blizzard stated they want to replace the experience bonus from heirlooms, with something equally satisfying. No clue what they’ll do, but I’m like 100% sure heirlooms won’t be useless or thrown in the trash, as most people keep implying!
If it makes you feel better, and idk if i can post links but, in the first video here the lead game designer speaks about the change
So they want to keep heirlooms relevant, the only change is the experience bonus but I’m sure they’ll figure something out
uhh no legendary system is by far no where near as bad as corruption…corruption is LITERALLY GARBAGE and legion was miles ahead of WOD
My question is what happens to alts between 1-120? Do they get halved, placed in equivalent areas, or is the xp calculated into the new leveling system?
Oh boy, that is a bit of an overstatement. I am excited for the changes but I already know the trash storm that will ensue from being locked into Covenants and Blizzards inability to balance until 9.2.
Legion for sure, I was a noob back in Wrath so… I don’t remember much of it.
Cata ftw!
Having just watched a person’s video on it, I’m also kind of excited. They are trying new things and unless they do something stupid to mess it all up. It has my undivided attention for now… now let’s just hope I can pick a main.
Overall, yes. I believe wowhead has said that you just need to divide your current level if under 120 by around 2.4 / 2.5. 1 level in Shadowlands is roughly 2.5 levels in BFA.
Example:
So, I currently have a 80 monk I probably won’t cap before Shadowlands. So, when the pre-patch hits and if she’s still that level she would be around level 33.
Oh what is this? Positivity for SL? Not a troll post?
Thank goodness there is someone else who is thinking what I’m thinking.
In what way are they “relevant”, if the stats were nerfed into the ground during legion and the bonus xp has been removed? Relevant for what? Inferior to quest items in all likelihood until they are removed entirely mid expansion and leveling is put right back to 120 hours where the devs put it on implementation of level scaling. Which was roundly rejected by players, many of whom left over the issue.
agreed. I came back after not playing for so long after watching a few videos on it. dont think ive ever been this anticipated for a mmo expansion ever. hope it will be as good as advertised.
I actually like that part. Before, it has always been “pick follower with right counter” and done. Boring.
New one requires the right counters, but also positioning, a balance between ST and AOE, healing abilities, etc.
Like you, I hope they aren’t tied to progression. Just hope they are a fun little side game.
A fair assessment of my statement.
I guess I have been a bit too indulgent in how easy missions have become for me. I welcome the new ones as a fun side challenge mini game.
All of it was great.
Nah. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
If they buff the item level scaling from pretty good blue level to very good, I think they will be just about as worthwhile as the experience bonus, especially considering how much they have already nerfed leveling time across the board.
