I just realized all my level 60 characters…about 50 of them…are ALL going to have to level from 25 back up to 50 I guess, lol
I dont think I thought this thru

oh lord…do they start that low?
I figured 25 at least lol
Its gonna be fun. All of my 120s going to 50. And everything I’ve leveled will definitely be at 30 because I stopped a lot of them at 60.
I actually think about just redoing them and see how fast I’ll level.

the ones that are starting to bother me is where I spent the time getting VERY good gear to basically max out my healing and damage.
All thats apparently lost now, lol.
It’ll feel a bit weird for sure, but it’s just bringing perception back in line with reality – right now, a level 60 character for all intents and purposes the same to a 120 as a 25 is to a 50. The larger numbers make intermediary levels feel higher level than they are.
Half of 120 is 60.
Half of 50 is 25.
You didn’t figure this out sooner?

Personal theory (just my theory) … if they go for a straight forward conversion we’re looking at …
60 (25)
70 (29)
80 (33)
90 (37)
100 (41)
110 (45)
120 (50)
120 (current level cap) / 50 (new level cap) = 2.4
So, divide the characters level by 2.4 and that’s “about” the level they’ll be. Again, that’s just my theory. They may do some crazy math involving a division of total XP. I don’t know. Just going on my personal theory. The fact that they’ve apparently said flying at 25 reinforces the idea that 60 = 25 is relatively sound. Since currently in “Old World” that’s when you get flying. Level 60.

OMG…and how are professions going to work?
I have spent more hours than I can remember doing that 1-300 herbalism grind in classic on maybe 2+ dozen characters
Is that going to have to be redone or worked up to max again?

Oh we’ll definitely have growing pains and strange issues related to the scaling. We did the last two times and those were just number crunches.

it just wasnt adding up all the work Id need to do on so many existing characters.
I mean I literally just leveled EIGHT new hunters to 60 and locked them as well as a druid.
whew…tons of work ahead lol
I don’t know what’s so funny about resetting WoW back to Classic levels and making every expansion from TBC-BFA a complete waste.

Each profession is broken out into it’s own xpac. You can level whatever xpac profession you like (generally the best idea to do the one you’re in), and once you hit 50, you go to Shadowlands and level THAT profession.
You can still go back and learn all the old xpacs as well, if you don’t already have them. You won’t get locked out.

120 is going down to 50, not 60.

right…but classic was 1-300 when I do it now.
The others are like maybe up to 75, I think
Are they halving the 300 I worked for back down to 150, you think?
Thats a lot of work.

I doubt professions are going to change outside of level requirements for things, but that’s easy enough to convert to match the new levels. I can’t imagine they will change professions levels for any reason.

I don’t expect they’ll change professions in that regard. They’ll still be done per expansion, just like they are now.
So you’ll still have Classic, Outland, Northrend, Catacylsm, Pandaria, Draenor, Legion, Kul Tiran.
And SL will of course add some kind of name for shadowlands only crafting.

Read my post again.
You didn’t understand what I said.
Sure I did. You suggested our levels will be exactly half of what we leave them at now… when really it will be slightly less than that.

No, you didn’t.
Go read it again. You’re still not understanding what I said.
Because it wasn’t this.
