Scaling in older instances is broken

let’s see all nobullys terrible ‘arguments’
1a. ignoring the FACT that the levels got squished so at level 61 the legacy buff should kick in right? RIGHT?
1b. taking that into account legion content should be soloable at level 50.5 since 5.5 levels is now the same as 11 levels.
2. legacy debuff has always been 2 expansions.
1.legion
2. bfa.
3. SHADOWLANDS.
that’s THREE EXPANSIONS.
4. claiming people are only just now complaining…Now your just deliberately being obtuse and ignoring the numerous threads made across the last 2 expansions about it. just because you didn’t know about it does not prove anything.
5. claiming the concerns are nothing. This has already been proven wrong with threads and mountains of data your just chosing to ignore it. at this point im not sure if your trolling or not.

so… 2 expansions :stuck_out_tongue:

One expansion in between. Which is what I said.

Aka legion raids should have had full legacy buff in SL. Not Dragonflight.

Just checked todays beta update, everything is still the same 8x multiplier with M Goroth same 24s ttk.

I see Blizz is scared of DF failing flopping out that 12 month sub, no 10.1 for over a year after launch?

Any chance you can add the numbers updates i have posted to your CC thread on the topic? I noticed that thread too went ignored by the Blues.

Honestly I am not sure if they are aware as all hands are on deck for the expansion release. But if they wait too long to address this (eg first patch) then players may perceive this as a feature and not an oversight.

This is why communication is crucial.

Thing is brother Maizou has had a thread up about this since May 10th 2022 in the Community Council section, so they had to have seen it by now and know whats up. Not to mention the crap load of threads i made back in 2020 about the issue. This is for sure ignored on purpose.

Shame too because DF is automatically a long haul sub for me if theyd just fix old raids but as it stands now its a big old mushroom stamp on all the farmers foreheads.

Tell ya what Ion, want me to buy that new 12 month sub thing ya got out there? Just fix old raids, all ya got to do, atleast for me.

Not sure what everyone is referring to here. I am able to solo Mythic Antorus right now at lvl 60. Seem to be doing the same x8-x9 multiplier that I did before prepatch. Is this turned off in beta?

You’re killing stuff slower now than you were in 9.3 as long as you havent had a huge ilvl jump anyway. But yeah i posted numbers above.

I loved doing older content but with scaling it has made it harder for sure. It feels like they are slowly stripping away MMORPG elements to make it an on rails theme park.

Like I have said before other MMORPGs and MMOs make scaling in older content optional.

Yeah and crazy thing is Ion has even addressed this issue in interviews saying they were gonna fix it, which of course seems like double speak at this point.

The same multiplier is still there. The HP scaling has changed with NPCs (again) though so the multiplier must be bumped up or there will be a disparity.

For whatever reason it is not a priority. But at some point they have to make it a priority if they want new and returning players to play through older content.

Remember a key feature advertised is the new talent system for returning and new players. Facing mobs that are HP sponges in older content may deter many players from participating at level cap endgame.

You were talking about not finding older threads on the issue, idk about any other thread but i can provide you with at least the one i made in 2020. Matter of fact you posted in it making fun of my autocorrect typo.

blizz is literally quoted when they did this before saying "once you get to heroic raid loot then you can go back to soloing old world content.

such a joke. i cant believe i came back for this.

Hey - you can buy that 12 month sub and when it’s viable to run old world content again you should have a month or two left, right?

I exaggerate but seriously… they need to fix their scaling.

I must have misread your reply. My bad then.

684 days since i made the thread above about old raids being broken.

I mean, there’s also a CC member actively against the things I suggested, so… >_>


Also, new thing in “Scaling is borked” - now Chromie Time dungeons are horrible. The first boss in Wailing Caverns DESTROYED my group cause no one could dispel her thorns, which was hitting for like 10% of our health per hit.

Well that other CC member is entitled to their wrong opinion. Also not shocked on the Caverns bit.

Is there really anything left to feel positive about if you arent interested in keys or raiding? They are sucking the fun out of everything I swear
