So for April fools day thought I’d create a want thread, so with all the forum requests for future expansion features to be implemented early, I noticed that one never gets mentioned.
ZONE SCALING!!!. you can’t get a bigger qqol improvement than leveling wherever you want regardless of lvl caps, also make all gear drops scale as well.
I strongly dislike Zone Scaling, though I understand why retail did it.
I like being able to level and then return to a zone and finish what I didn’t. Or having to go to another zone to finish the current one.
Can you imagine DKs leveling in the Barrens? lol, the Devs would definitely have to increase the droprate on zevrah hooves.
Zone scaling is trash and very lazy. It makes gearing up feel worthless. It’s the best, “You think do, but you don’t” ever.
I mean I don’t think it’s really that big of a deal… Plenty top that list for me.
But either way leveling zones are super dead right now… so cool man enjoy your non scaled zones that 3 people a week step in. Grats.
About as anti-rpg as you can get.
Dumb as hell but that never stopped most developers.
well basically it’s a thing because they have no designers.
devs take plans and ideas and make them reality.
designers are like architects and engineers who plan things out to be a certain way. Blizz has no design team, only devs and a crackpot in charge marshaling devs around to be a designer whom they aren’t.
Since when does development become a defining moment? How can you marvel something nobody knows about?
Never assume things.
It’s like stating they rely on bugs to thrive on test servers. There’s no such thing as being right all the time when Justice doesn’t last forever.
It worked quite well in Guild Wars 2, by my experience.
How so?
Because its cool when you are so OP that the slimes run away.
The metal slimes aleays run away.
^^
100% this. Also a HUGE waste of time when trying to farm, be it hides from mob or getting aggroed by mobs near mining/herbing nodes… god forbid trying to farm mobs for loot (such as Firewing signet, let’s say).
Once I learned Retail had done this, I never ever got the itch to reactivate my account again… What a bad change.
If they want to put nice QoL in TBC, here’s a list they could :
All the above keep TBC as fun to play as it is now, adds on it, and does not mess the experience / leveling curve. But zone level scaling? Oh god no.
just leveling from 1-60 in the last 2 weeks, zones are only decent to play in while the kids are at school, and people are at work. When everyone gets home, it’s almost impossible to quest in these zones because of how many people are there. Just actual facts, not an assumption.
Not on my server. Azeroth zones are dead and it’s almost impossible to get a dungeon run, except maybe for SM.
Zone scaling is the absolute worst.
I want to go back to the old world and absolutely destroy everything.
Then, perhaps you should go play Guild Wars 2.
There’s a macro that I use for this. You still have to press a button once in a while, but it’s a thousand times less irritating than the addon.
That reminds me… I haven’t installed it on my new laptop, yet. Thanks for the reminder!
I installed it on mine.
Then uninstalled it two days later.
