Is Blizzard Going To Add Catch-Up Mechanics for Alts?

Leveling alts is in a terrible state in phase 4. No incursions to quickly catch up and the only people doing dungeons are boosters charging 15-20g per run.

What is blizz going to do to fix these issues?

What are you talking about? There’s 150% increased experience, 300% increased quest gold, and the incursions are still there and reward a metric ton of experience. People are literally brain broken…

Solo questing and solo incursions as a daily quest is miserable. You won’t find leveling dungeon groups either.

Solo questing is fine, solo incursions relies heavily on what class and level, but there are plenty of people doing them daily.

This isn’t a private server. You don’t get a press a button and hit 60 treatment. You must actually play the game. i know, the horror.

It’s the mentality of the hand out generation

You have one 60 and a paladin at that.

I’ve leveled 3 characters to 60 now; but the problem is things slow down and the leveling process is a chore without dungeons to break up the monotony and not having heals means you can’t easily solo incursions.

No, its the mentality of you boomers… And then you wonder why fresh blood doesn’t come and play this Genre and or its dying off.

People have WAY to much things to do in their free time, so why not lesson the burden and give them ways to do just like the OP has asked for.

Last thing I want to do after a do my IRL crap is sit in a city spamming for up to 30 mins trying to get a group together. And for most progression in this GAME you have to get a group together! SOD is not ALT friendly AT ALL, and last phase they said they want us to “go out and make alt’s”… Make it make sense.

I don’t know what to tell you, they literally already adding SEVERAL things to speed it up. This is a ridiculous thing to say.

Boomer huh? lol ok. Anyways. Its called actually working for things. These forums are FILLED with people crying and whining between grinding honor, rep, leveling etc.
You lot are lazy and want it handed to you! Sorry, it doesn’t work that way.

You HAVE IT. There is a 150% XP Boost is already in place. That IS lessening the burden. If you can’t put the time in to do something then I don’t know what to tell you.

Then don’t, get off your butt and go quest. The time it takes for you lot crying on here and spamming in city chat waiting for a group you could’ve quested. You probably would have hit a level or two.

He’s too afraid to admit that he wants Blizzard to add paid character boosts.

If youre sitting in town spamming thats on you. LFG is a global channel and can be done anywhere- so you can be questing while LFG.

You can also download GBB which helps find groups by tracking the lfg channel.

I just started my hunter tonight, got him to 25, ran rfc and WC with groups so far. I also levelled war and lock max using those tools and had little downtime.

If its miserable, maybe its not for you. This isnt retail where you can level 1-70 in a few hours nor will it ever be

Dude solo questing is super fast. Tons of people are spamming BRD. You can easily get into UBRS runs before level 60. A LBRS full quest run is insane EXP.

Incursions are pretty EZ to find groups. Takes like 5 mins of advertisement to full a group, the you get like 1.5 levels for 30 mins of gameplay.

Like idk what youre talking about. People will start playing their alts more after 2 MC lock outs. Plenty of people are returning as well, such as myself.

Leveling up is super enjoyable with a full runeset. I play mage and resto shaman and their runes feel fantastic.

Literally SoD is so good right now. Hipefully they implement more PvP balance changes. Game is great. Play it or don’t :confused:

I solo’d the nightmare incursions quests on my 51 Shaman in about 30 minutes and got him almost 2 levels of xp and a decent amount of gold.

The issue is the level 60 gear grind on an alt. I don’t want to do it.

They should probably add “leveling dailies” that rotate through various requests; put them in each zone.


I believe what the OP is referring to is doing the same ‘loop’ over and over on each character. If you roll Alliance, you’ll be doing the same quests in Westfall every single time. Sure you can change it up and run over to Darkshore/Stonetalon. But on alt No. 5…you’ve done it all.


Add an Adventurer’s Guild “Quest Board” (so it’ll be easier to actually implement). Those pesky spiders around Duskwood? Kill 'em and bring back their fangs. - Bonus is the quests that are already there asking to kill them. More XP!

Doesn’t even have to be ‘kill quests’ could be gathering. Maybe the Florist in Lakeshire has a request for someone to gather flowers, but it’s too dangerous for her to do it.

You a skinner? Nice! The local Leatherworker is looking for help gather additional hides.
Alchemist? The local mining expert would like you to conduct a transmutation of some ore they gathered (won’t trigger any CDs).

New requests every 3 hrs! With no time limit on most requests*.

*Maybe there’ll be ‘high value’ requests that reward a substantial amount of coin and XP; think ‘Dungeon Quest’-amounts.


Legion’s World Quests was how I spent most of my time level alts when not doing PVP or RDF Dungeons. It was nice not having the exact same crap to do for every alt.

You literally get +150% XP on alts right now and its insanely quick to level up if you have Questie addon.

I swear some people just can’t be helped.

imagine playing classic and being like “dude solo questing is horrible” :roll_eyes:

There’s plenty of ways to level up differently… it’s not the game’s fault everyone is listening to an addon tell them exactly what to do like robots :expressionless:

Questing or Dungeons runs. Those are you options in non-Wrath Era, which added PVP.

((I suppose you could toss in the mindnumbing “grind mobs”…but…ya. We aren’t bots.))

So. If this person is having trouble finding groups to run dungeons. That means they have only quests to do.

That is broken down into Zone Quests and Incursion Quests.

But, since the first Incursion doesn’t start until something like level 17 (Darkshire). That means you are questing through: Northshire->Elwynn->Westfall or Shadowglen->Teldrassil->Darkshore.

…Every. Single. Time.

And that’s assuming you decide to only use Incursions to level up after gaining access to them.

If you don’t and mix in Incursions with ‘standard questing’. You’re still going to be doing the same quests for every alt.

((Again, this is all under the assumption that finding groups is difficult. It might be role issue or timeframe (I’m EST, but typically play EU prime time; for example).))


I wonder if you actually play the game…like at all. Because either you don’t. Or you’re intentional obtuse about every aspect of it.

Not once did I mention a ‘leveling guide addon’. But you immediately jump to that and then use it as a defense on why someone should have to collect Red Bandanas for the 6th time.

I see a money opportunity here. Blizz should just sell lvl 60 char boosts

They never mentioned it being alt friendly starting from scratch… This whole process has been alt friendly with level caps and the lack of content in the 1st - 3rd phases to have those alts leveled and runes obtained.
