Leveling is horrendous

How is this live? This is by far the worst leveling experience I’ve ever had in wow.

Mobs in dungeons take years to die. 10 minute raid boss fight level of nonsense.
Heirlooms are 100% meaningless. I have 24 monk buff AND FULL set. still get abysmal exp.
We get abilities every 10 levels. We are literally spamming 2 buttons for almost 40 levels. I got fire breath at 40. come on man. Whoever is in charge of the leveling stuff needs to redo everything.

  1. buff heirlooms to 50% exp each since you guys destroyed normal leveling exp.
  2. nerf mob hp by 50% especially bosses.
  3. rework how many abilities we get. we have been needing a talent overhaul for years. do your job already. GO.

Okay I’m going to respond in parts because I agree and disagree with you.

I think the difficulty of current mobs are fine however combat with the mobs do not feel great because for most of the leveling experience you have little abilities and masteries are not unlocked.

Have a warlock friend with Halloween pets event summon you to his or her garrison and kill those pets inside it. It was the fastest way for me; just watch a show while you do it. Use 3 direbeaks or Anklebiters.

I’ve leveled two toons since 7.3.5 dropped and aside from the notorious 50 - 70 range, I didnt think it was bad at all. I was 110 in about 2 days /played on both. And XP has been nerfed since.

I’m smashing through levels, so not sure what you’re talking about. I barely play my disc priest and she’s already 39 wearing heirlooms. I pull 3 to 5 mobs at a time. I’m not even sure how fast you expect to level. It’s been super fast and easy for me. Travel is the worst part of the leveling experience.

We’re overdue for an old world revamp, and when they do that, they should make it 1-120 rather than 1-60. You do 1-60 on all the zones in a continent once. Then, 61-120 doing the same zones a second time, updated via phasing so all your work in the 1-60 content is reflected. Settlements built, threats removed, etc…

After that, they need to consider the Legion Artifact Talents getting baked into the Leveling Progression. Once you hit 80, 85ish, there’s nothing left except talents. Making the Legion Artifact Talents and Traits into passives would help immensely.

They eased off on it quite a bit. It really was awful when level scaling was first crammed down our throats.

Unfortunately, they’re now cramming mechanics in what was formerly leveling dungeons, making them only appropriate as vanity content for people who did them as progression when they were new. New players have no hope of learning them and instead have learned that dungeons are something to be avoided at all costs.

I… Actually think the current leveling speed is fine.

Before you get your pitchforks, I will say that I have all current Pathfinders, nearly fully upgraded heirlooms, and a few leveling routes.

Before I would hit 80 and patter off but I actually managed to hit 80 on a new toon relatively quickly, then 90 to 110 took me something like 10 hours.

I wanted to stop halfway through BFA questing though.

I keep turning off xp so I can finish zones and such. Leveling is good, and I admit I get a sick pleasure from watching people over pull or ignore certain boss mechanics. The results are so amusing.

What you, OP, need is a FPS. Instant gratification with little thought. This is an MMO, grinding and mechanics are normal.

I want a live Legion server. I’d pay extra to play the full Legion expansion with everything live and capped at 110, so i can see the full power of my artifact weapon. Artifact weapons were a hundred times better than Azerite Armor, the most boring magic item idea Blizzard has ever had. How does Blizzard’s design team think this boring armor was cool? I got a new helm. It was an upgrade for stats, but it had the same snake-headed look as three or four other helmets I’ve had. Azerite Armor feels about as unique as white underwear.

My friend was able to level at toon to 120 in a week of logging on playing. Not tedious at all if your at it. I dont see the problem. The difficulty of mobs is way better imo. You can skip an expansion. (such as when hitting 58 you can do bc or nothrend) So you basically can skip the “boring zones”.

  1. Heirlooms are fine. They were meant to give old players a boost since they came to the game. They still do even though it’s different. :disappointed:
  2. So you want to 2 shot things again. :thinking:
  3. The good ol ways of this is coming for classic. :wink:

I feel sorry for you that the pleasure you get in life is watching other people suffer.

When my characters see something like that happening, I help them.

Okay… we’re talking about instances here. With those things ignored the wipe includes everyone. That’s what wipes are. I’m in these groups, so guess what? I go down too.

You can put your white knighting away now.

This is ridiculous. How can anyone expect anything else?

Leveling in it’s current form is arguably the best it’s ever been.

My Highmountain Tauren already is 102 and he has less than 30 hours played.

After he hits 110, I will have collected every heritage armor so far. Leveling is fine.

Who’s a white knight? You’re the one who is supporting highly unpopular game changes and bragging about how much you enjoy watching other players fail.

either you hacked or never did dungeons and the outside world is a 200% buff or something.

Hahaha, apparently it’s obvious the problem is you.
