Why not just make the leveling experience a bit more difficult? It’s so easy to the point that it feels pointless. All the scaling makes everything feel like a big blob. Something closer to the Classic leveling experience with something like the Dragonflight end game would be better.
Thoughts?
Should be easier so can start end game as quick as possible. Like jumping to arena, solo shuffle, etc.
I’d take viable and legit pvp leveling back in retail as a caveat.
Elune knows I use the crap out of it in wrath classic. leveling doing what I like? yes please.
now if everyone spams AV in retail…that is a dev issue. Make your game better to level in open world than a BG like 17 years old now lol.
Getting rekt by murlocs?
go for era HC. the murlocks aren’t so bad.
Its the cave kobolds and naga. A best practice in HC is avoid caves when you can. Many enter. Many also do not leave alive lol.
Why would you want the monotonous leveling that takes forever, isn’t fun or enjoyable for people that have done it 5+ times, over a bit of quick leveling to get to the things you actually want/need to do in game? This feels like it should be a Sunday post, not Tuesday.
It’s already far from a game were leveling matters.
In old school MMOs where cap level was more of an achievement, sure. But WoW was in a half way place… And I think it’s just better to make it easy so you could get to the actual addictive content.
Still takes too long.
Some people here seem to think its not the leveling sucked, it was say elwynn was boring.
I lke legion. If legion started off like a classic/era leveling start…I’d hate it too. Feral druid weapon quest would be unplayable. Most of that is 4 on 1 fights. Lots of demons, lots of night fallen then lots of spiders. just to get to the dude.
I like elwynn actually. It has an awesome theme music track. its fearing 2 murlocks that sucks.
You should just go play classic instead of asking for retail to be more like it.
I have asked Blizzard for sliders for a long time now. For now take off all your gear.
If it’s like classic then you see what happens in diablo. Leveling is an relict of the past. Fun during expansion launch. Boring after.
The overall difficulty curve of the game needs to be smoother.
The current incredibly back-weighted exponential curve is a problem.
Or, you can choose to go slow and not screw over the players who don’t want to have a “challenge” leveling.
Levelling is fine.
I enjoy classic for the tedious levelling.
Yeah but it was more of an endurance achievement than a difficulty achievement. It was still easy. It just took forever.
Difficult does not mean slow.
Speed is fine, but at least the back half of leveling should be tuned in a way to force you to learn what your class does if you want to progress.
This but unironically. People complain about underperformers being completely clueless and not knowing how to play, yet you can get from 1-70 by spamming arcane missiles as an arcane mage no problem.
Do I think leveling should be harder than a +10? No, absolutely not, but it should take at least more than 1% of your brainpower.
Exactly. Leveling should be re-tuned around the idea that you should need to know at least the basics of your class and spec to cap.
