It’s been a while since this has been brought up, so I want to touch back on it.
The game currently offers two modes that allow players to scale to content. One is Chromie Time or the general leveling experience and the other is party sync, which allows you to group with someone and scale down to their level to replay content.
Now, I’m not a huge fan of scaling while leveling in lieu of things like the classic systems, that may change with the new talent trees coming in Dragonflight, but it does provide the chance at a “new game+” experience in WoW.
The ability to go back and clear out older content at level would be a huge win for those of us that play casually but like to invest in a handful of characters, rather than start fresh every time we want to experience the older world. Currently this ability depends on the availability of another player within the appropriate level range via Party Sync.
For those unaware, Party Sync is a toggle you may choose when you group with another player of lower level. It brings you down to their level and even allows you to replay quest chains you have already completed.
I (and I am sure many others) would love the ability to simply “party sync” ourselves to content at will. To make the world our sandbox whether it’s leveling a character beyond 50 (where Chromie time kicks us out of quest chains we’re enjoying) or sitting at max level and desire to wrap up Loremaster or another expansion zone at the intended level experience without having to create an entirely brand new character in order to properly enjoy it.
I can’t imagine removing the party requirement (or extending Chromie time) would require much in the way of development time, and many of us would have so much to gain from it, without it impacting anyone who would choose not to utilize it.
Cheers and thanks for reading.
