Chromie time is supposed to be = story time. Not rush to endgame of systemlands.

Party sync was nerfed (without chromie time) you get 90-95% less XP then the person you sync with. So party sync is done for no longer something anyone is going to use. OR maybe something everyone will use becasue they dont want to level at all and wnat to play the whole story through.
OH I wasn’t saying you were pointing fingers. I just think more people are interested in the story than the farm.
Not to mention the raw gold and vendor price on items is going to be nuked with the squish and in Vanilla, TBC, and Wrath, it’s already worthless pretty much.

Eh yeah I can see that being pretty annoying and a little disorienting, but really it is not a big deal.
Still, they should remove the forced teleport, and ot into a popup similar to patch day preview windows telling you that you are ready to go (probably give it some RP flavoring as well), and stick a teleport button on there

THANK YOU!
That seems to be the part some of these folks are having trouble getting into their thick skulls, especially since one of them tossed out “sUrE yOu CaN, PaRtY sYnC!” without taking into account that it might not always be feasible to group up and sync down.

At some point dude, you have to be reasonable. Make a new alt. Lock it. There are plenty of options.
What you wanted is Timewalking leveling. Keep asking for it until they cave, I dunno.
I have no problem understanding what you guys want. The thing is, it exists. Chromie Time is a leveling system, not a way to experience “timewalking questing”.
So, wouldn’t it be better if blizzard allowed the players to make the decision on leaving vs being ported out? Maybe Chromie could have a “I’m ready to leave altered time” button or something.
I get that Blizzard will eventually nerf the leveling experience so that it goes back to what it was, but until that happens, some people might want to finish what they started, so let them.

Because you want to experience it “at level”-ish, not when you’re one shotting everything.
During a normal expansion, you’d level through about 80% of the zones and then ding top level. There was usually a zone or so of “top level” mobs and quests.
Normally, I’d ding top level and just stop questing as quests offered pretty much nothing to advance the character, no gear of note, etc. You were always better off running instances or whatever.
But even then, if you went back, the mobs were one shot putty. You had to fight your way through them.
Back in Wrath, I leveled by Druid and Loremastered BC, and ran every dungeon. I never did that during BC. By the time I left Outland, I was 77.
It was certainly easier at 77, but most importantly, I didn’t have Wrath gear. It was just BC greens and dungeon blues, so I, again, wasn’t one shotting everything.
It’s more interesting that way to me.
As was suggested, they should just cap XP at 50, and let you finish the expansion if you like rather than unceremoniously dumping you to SL.
There’s some fiendish mobs in Icecrown at Level 80.

One seems to want to disagree just to disagree. If they want to speed level to max I say go for it. I have more than enough 120s (50s) and I’m sitting on 2 boosts. The alts I’d be running through Chromie Time with locked xp would sooner see delete than max level.

Apparently you do since you’re being so adamant with multiple people telling you exactly what their issues with CT are

So lock at level-ish like today and do it. That option still exists. Exactly like it does today.
Yeah and that would take way too long for what the 10-50 bracket is supposed to be.
It doesn’t work like that today, and how it works today still works in Shadowlands. You’ve lost nothing and gained nothing.

I don’t disagree just to disagree, I disagree because Chromie Time was not sold as Timewalking questing and there is a workaround for what you guys want.
So do that. Do whatever you want and then delete it.
Yes, because the issue is they want Chromie Time to be something it’s not.
Why you can do it now with with level scaling in a group. I leveled my last four characters in Wrath with friends who were leveling through those levels. Yes I know it isn’t the same but you can level to max by not doing current content.
Besides that isn’t what OP is asking for that. Right now if you hit 60, you can still get XP from the quests that you still have in your quest log. You’re not forced to go quest in BC/Wrath. You start getting less and less Xp as you level and probably wont get much more than a level or two but still.

They literally call the leveling experience “timewalking campaigns”, my dude, and I would like to finish the campaign I’m timewalking through, IN TIMEWALKING.
I’m starting to think you must be the dev who came up with the “and then teleport them out” idea, since you’re defending it like those of us who want to remain in our TIMEWALKING CAMPAIGN are personally insulting you.

It’s not timewalking though. Timewalking downscales and locks you at a particular level.
I’m not, I just don’t want Chromie Time to be filled with Twinks and griefers, which is what letting people be in Chromie Time after they’ve level passed it or exp lock end up being.
You guys can still enjoy the expansions the same way you do today. That hasn’t changed.
You are suggesting something unrealistic and unreasonable not to mention suggesting abusing the mentor program for personal gain, and then you turn around and say we are being unreasonable?
Hello pot, names kettle.
Why should I have to make a new alt if I want to do the quests, somewhere close to how they were intended to feel, on my main because I never got around to them when leveling the first time?
Except no, not really… There are plenty of options that scale levels, but not in the way I, and others in this thread, are trying to achieve. However there is a foundation being set with Chromie time and how it functions that COULD be applied. All I have been saying from the start is that it would be nice because, as I pointed out to your posts, the other options like Party Sync and such present issues. You yourself follow up this by saying–
That’s exactly what I am doing, though I wouldn’t quite phrase it that way. I am expressing a desire in Chromie Time eventually being expanded upon for those who want to go back on their mains and do older quests in their down time. That is what I have been doing from my first post in this thread.
So why are you telling me to keep asking after not only trying to warp my words in your first response to me but being combative the entire way? Ignoring half of what I say and only responding to tiny fragments out of context while also flat out ignoring any of the counter questions I have posed?
I maintain my original statement, why are you so personally angered over people asking for this only to turn around and say “keep asking”?

Well for some reason there’s people who don’t think more options for the player are better.

Everything involved with Chromie is hopeless shark jumping absurd.
From the start you have a dragon that chooses to be a gnome.
Then it’s used to tell back stories that you take part in and still have free will?
