not sure if a bug or intended but since today’s patch, the mobs down in zaralek caverns as well as over in emerald dream are now scaling to level 80 (with additional scaling based on gear as when those areas were current).

Yeah, and it sucks. My alts that I use to farm stuff can’t do much here. I can’t kill Karoka solo anymore. I hope it’s a bug and it’s fixed soon.

Thirding this– logged in for my daily work on dragonflight zones and my level 80 alt that lives there is getting absolutely chunked by each rare. Hope this is resolved quickly, old content is my preferred way to play the game.

Doubling down here : scaling is buggued and Dragonflight campaign was reset from 9/9 to 6/9 cause added quests that messed up the questline and cannot be complated (Shandris is gone from Valdrakken after the emerald dream campaign done).
The quest Tracking down the incarnates that appeared today is undoable.

I just found this out the hard way while trying to farm in the Emerald Dream as usual… My alt is level 80 and she keeps getting killed!
Some armor loot is a higher item level now, too.

Higher than what?
Higher than what it used to be at level 80 for me.
I mean, higher than current content ilvl?
Oh, no, it is still pretty low lol
Ah ok, I thought maybe there was at least a silver lining to this, but I guess not lol

In addition to the scaling, it seems to have messed up the raids. I went to do my weekly Sark mount swings, and there are no mobs or npcs at all in Aberrus when you enter. I’ve tried on multiple characters now.

They also buggued the entire campaign with adding recap quests about Irridikon which glitched people’s campaign finished and reset it. Very annoying that an entire expansion is buggued with a patch that is not about it at all.
And of course those recap quests are glitched they reset 9/9 to 6/9 adding quests on three main chapters that we cannot take.

I Was wondering why a rare in zaralek suddenly had so much HP. Excellent work blizz. More bugs that ruin the game.

I have a so-so geared guardian druid that is ilevel 700 that i have been using to farm the druid forms and logged in and popped down into the area where the smoldering travel form has a chance to spawn and I got destroyed by 2 mobs in the area. The mobs are way overtuned so don’t even bother trying as feral. Even as guard druid is a challenge to not die. Hopefully Blizzard can fix this sooner (within 1-3 weeks) rather than later (2+ years).

Don’t want to get hopes up and say this is fixed, but even though the monsters are still 80-82 I was able to melt Karokta very easily on a 718 Fire Mage.
I agree with the “please let this be a bug and resolve it ASAP” crowd. This is also my preferred way to play the game (read: easy mode and destress life after the day, same way since Vanilla when my wife and I started playing together. Approx time played, continuous since April 2005)

Oh, this is why I see 80s struggling, then I come in and wipe the floor with the rare at level 70. Maybe they did this so level 70 base game players have a chance at killing them now, but they also reduced the ilevel of gear drops from 467 to 408 and 480 to 441.

Just to add some info, on Midnight Beta, those two zones are also level 80. They just didn’t bother to correct it there, and it transfered in retail with the new patch that added some pre-midnight content like the recap quests about Iridikon that buggued the Dragonflight Campaign completion and are not doable at all.
Absolutely incredible that so many bugs are not even aknowledged in the known issues thread.

I also reported this after getting an AI response to a ticket. Not only are the mob scalings broken, but you cannot do amirdrassil in story mode as it is also broken.
Good luck completing Dream On.
