Yea, I am in the middle of leveling 9 alts to 60 so I pretty much know exactly what the mob powers are when I am doing these leveling quests. Well, I logged out yesterday in the middle of one and within pulling two of the usual mobs and doing the same rotation I see I have lost a majority of health plus their health did not drop as far.
I know this by heart due to the fact I have been leveling the same classes and specs and can do the quests in my sleep. There was a power increase to mobs.
I knew theyâd do this.
Retuning world mobs seems to be a thing they do now. Youâre simply not allowed to ever overpower mobs, as the game director has repeatedly declared that doing so âis not funâ.
Even though it is.
is this to kill the ftp twink Boe farming I wonder?
But if heâs so smart and right then he should add that to classic. It would be so awesome with how much fun it isâŠ
Iâll go kill some of those mobs to see how it goes.
My personal opinion is that theyâre trying to make questing harder because they think thatâŠ
I often see mobs out in the world with new mechanics added to them, just like when they added cata-era heroic mechanics to bosses in Scarlet Halls normal and other vanilla dungeons.
If they think thatâs what new players and levelers want, theyâre more deluded than we already suspected.
They seem just as easy to kill today as they all did yesterday but thats just me I guess
I should have specified this is Shadowlands content that I am talking about. Not older expansions. They certainly did give mobs more power across the board. I can see it ever since I logged in and gained two levels on another alt to 58.
No need to re-tune anything when it comes to leveling following the quests. It is bad enough you barely ever get to see a rare or epic roll on a quest item for the whole 10 levels you do.
this also goes.hand in hand with reports of legacy raids being rescaled with the patch⊠I mean I guess when the end game sucks you gotta make getting there take longer? and same for MOG farming I guess
Iâm just going off othersâ reports - the only world mobs Iâve done are the ones around the Deathfang quest and they were fine - but then, Iâm max level. Iâll take some of my waiting-for-flying alts out later and see how their experience is.
Yeah but if that happened, progression raiders would âfeel forced to do itâ or something along those lines, I guess 
What they are really doing is removing the sand from the sandbox game, attempting to force players to play in a way that is most profitable for the company.
for the past two weeks I have been leveling my alt army of arms warriors from level 50 to 60, I follow the exact same questing route with every one. I am half way through the army, and today when I wanted to continue where I left off last night I immediately saw a difference with the first two mobs I pulled. This was not just a bad rng with damage, it has been consistently harder now since the patch went live.
If you say so Iâm just speaking of my experience
They should just leave that stuff the same and make the mobs in the new zones more powerful instead. Really though, they were tougher back in vanilla.
Ftp twinks can only farm their own gear. They canât buy, sell, or trade anything.
The people farming that gear are not ftp. And⊠I just killed some of those mobs. They feel no different.
Something else to add.
I can not kill Gorgebeak in Bastion at level 58 now after the patch.
My previous 5 alts that I ran through the leveling process were able to kill that NPC (barely) at level 58 but they could. Now, I canât get it below 20% health.
People that are saying they see no difference need to keep in mind you are level 60 with a ton of your system(s) power in place so you are completely over powered for these mobs that are intended for players that are leveling and have garbage green gear at sub 60 level and have 0 system(s) power.
They started this silliness in Legion. Every patch, world mobs get scaled up to meet the new âseasonâ gear. Not doing âseasonsâ? Too bad, it seems. The devs want the open world to be infinitely scalable and never outgearable, because supposedly that âisnât funâ (spoiler: IT IS VERY DEFINITELY FUN, and is the entire point of an RPG).
Blizzard considers its âOpen world mobs power increasedâ technique one of the greatest features added to the original WoW. It has saved countless hours of development and money.
Yea, only problem is people that are leveling are using the garbage gear that they get from quests along the way. If Blizztard increased the power of that gear with the new season I could understand but they didnât.
The gear quests are giving out along the way as you level from 50-60 are the same ilvl and stats as before the patch so how in the heall are they expecting leveling players to be more powerful.
