Scaling in older instances is broken

I’d see this crap if retail had a level boost market.

classic they got funky with our dungeons. to cut off boost services. since yeah, it was getting a bit much.

If you got the gold 50g for a carry could be worth it. Hell some sold packages. 50g a run, 200g for a 5-pack. buy 4 get 1 free basically.

retail already gimped xp for this long ago. when I had a dual box to try a class out in classic for month I said wth, lets see if a level cap 60 could power level a retail alt in a dungeon. 0 xp for the new alt. Question answered lol.

and it has RDF/LFD. I don’t need to pay gold. RNG will find me 4 new temp friends lol. and the xp is from the rng pull quest really. mobs and boss just icing on the cake.

Yea but you did that towards the end of SL with end of expac gear and full borrowed power. A fresh level 70 that you implied is not gonna have either of those 2 things.

Nor should they expect as much.

As a fresh 70, I think that Uldir will be a more reasonable expectation. G’huun will need some corrections but aside from the dodgeball segment the rest should be in theory soloable.

Tell me a good reason they needed to nerf my toons in older content. The content i was soloing(Mythic 0 BFA dungeons) had absolutely nothing to do with chromie time and had no business being buffed and making it a pain for the alts who could solo it before.

Exactly my point. A fresh level 70 has pretty much zero chance of being able to solo mythic BfA raids. Maybe BfA dungeons, but definitely not the raids. People weren’t even able to do heroic Cruicible (and that’s not even the last tier raid of BfA btw) at end of SL with a raid team of 15+.

I am not a Developer, I cannot give you that answer.

It’s an issue with how old content will be changed to scale up to 60 when Dragonflight launches courtesy of Chromie Time apparently from posts I’ve seen on Twitter

hahaha this is rich

so legion will be harder at level 70 ? endless cycle

borrowed someone’s lockout for Mechagon Junkyard where trogg boss was dead, and most bosses took much longer to die and i had to self-heal a lot. Particularly gunker and last boss. Last boss in particular i used to do him in 1 vulnerable phase, but it took me 2 to kill him this round. And Gunker took so much longer.

I am not happy. I shouldn’t need to borrow someone’s lockout like this. Revert this nonsense already. It stops being funny and it feels like a chore.

So I’m going to have to grind out some gear on alts to do stuff I was already clearing with no issues? Are they expecting me to be 250+ or higher on my alts?

I said from the very start the level squish was a bad idea. We are still paying for it to this day.

No - they expect you to buy Dragonflight, level to 70, and get level 70 gear to run old outdated content with nerfed gold and vendor values.

Seems to be the case. Hell, i’m having a really hard time on an alt with ilvl 240 right now( a druid, to be more specific). Everything takes ages to die and some bosses are giving me headaches(Gunker, several KR bosses).

It has definitely changed. I just did mythic antorus and was actually losing hp quite often. Before i only lost hp on big tank spells like aggromars big hits but now i lose hp pretty much every hit. Also with no covenant ability due to being a venthyr dh and no tier set bonus it took a minute or so longer.

Also blizz what is up with the damn eye beam cd? Was 25 seconds or whatever before now its 40

A blast from the December of 2020 past.

Been broke a long time and gotten worse. Wait till you see yourselves get scaled down from 70 to 60 in SL dungeons, atleast thats what happens on beta.

This is basically going to backfire on them massively. If people frustrate themselves and can’t do older content during patch downtimes, they will not try to gear alts to do it. They will just quit in frustration. It’s at least what i’m 100% sure i will do.

I have already started doing exactly what you stated. I used to have an army of 30+ max levels geared and ready to go to farm old content. Now i cant be bothered to keep 2 characters geared. This is the first expansion since i started playing in 3.2 that i spent more time unsubbed or not playing. It is sad to see what Ion is doing to this game.

Matter of fact i have already deleted some 15 sub lvl 50 alts because i have no drive to keep up with them. After the alts i currently have outlive their big love rocket level usefulness they will get axed too.

Best of luck on your Big Love Rocket farm, bro. And yeah, wish they just stopped doing this :(.
