Update 12:04 PM PDT: Shadowlands squishes us to Level 50, with a new Level 60 cap!
Interesting! Maybe they learned a little from Classic WoW

im glad for the squish, we have too many brackets now
i play a lot of alts in the lower brackets and its really common for the average wait to say 7 mins but it goes over 15. happens all the time
also get a lot of games where one side starts short handed for a few mins, the player base is far too diluted right now

Edition Includes
Everything in the Base Edition, plus:
Level 120 Character Boost
Instant access to the Ensorcelled Everwyrm flying mount, which grants a quest for the Vestments of the Eternal Traveler transmog set
why is this under battlegrounds?
this lets you boost a toon now, which will be squished to 50 later
Because it applies to leveling battlegrounds.
The word battlegrounds isn’t even in the post but, I see your point.
more condensed brackets is nice at least.

The general discussion cesspool is throwing a fit. I think it’s a great move.

Even though twinks and regular players alike are kinda flipping out over this change, I kinda see this working out for the better overall(especially for twinks). Strange, but I agree with Erelir on this, there should 100% be the level squish.

Level squish is great imo.
On the other hand, I’m a bit bummed the only mention of anything PvP specific was that War Mode will be the same in the new Xpac.
I could be wrong, but I think I remember a lot more emphasis on PvP at Blizzcon in the past… and the silence is a bit deafening.
I think the squish could actually help keep new players around.
Starting a new character and realizing you have 120 levels before you can do anything serious is quite daunting.
It can intimidate people into leaving. It can also cause them to burn out before reaching level cap because it’s just a long grind
You should have put this on twitter duh.

they probably don’t have a lot of it ironed out yet, based on what has been announced a lot of it seems very very early in development where they are mostly just announcing ideas that haven’t made it from the whiteboard into code yet.
I think that’s why they do the 110 boost when buying the expansion.
True, but if they want to level an alt, they’re faced with a giant grind, or shelling out more money
60 levels isn’t nearly as intimidating
Well yea, alt wise it would take a lot. I’m pretty happy about the squish and feel like it’s something that needs to happen.
I think so too. The last few expansions I was thinking “How high are we going to go?”
I don’t wanna play a game where it takes 200 levels to reach endgame lol
