Timewalking now worse than Normal dungeosn at 70+ right before the Anniversary event

So we’re about to have Classic TW. Great. Thing is, the XP from mobs at 70+ has been nerfed into oblivion. I think people have done the numbers on this and even though the TW queueing bonus XP is higher, the net XP is lower.

This was my preferred method of levelling through SL and DF and now? I can’t be bothered. I actually thought TW was in a pretty good place in DF.

And on top of that the TW badge weekly quest was nerfed for really no reason. Now I’m unafected (~300K badges) but this hurts newer players for really no rason. And, no, the fact that the currency is Warbound doesn’t mitigate this.

I’m honestly about ready to check out until 11.2 (like Remix return) or the 12.0 prepatch to level my toons from 70-80 because there’s nothing I want to do to level my alts currently. I’ve listed some of my issues previously.

For context, I have 125 level 70+ toons. I think I had 50 a year ago. 10.2 (including Remix) will go down as one of the greatest patches in WoW’s history IMHO. It’s astounding to me how far 11.0 has fallen immediately afterwards.

I usually do the timewalking on alts for the badges but I don’t anymore. Blizz ruined it.

BlizZard ruined Timewalking with their over micro managing ways.

Easy win they turned into a big fat loss.

PTR changes to Timewalking were done by devs that do not play the game but look at a spread sheet.

Before the usual coterie of midwitted power users rushes into this thread to tell you it’s the same as Dragonflight: It’s not.

I did the math compared to a few dragonflight videos it proves OP right.

Maybe I’ve misunderstood but I level my alts during TW weeks. I did two this week including one at 13 to 80 in about five hours. And the nerf to badges is because you can now trade them via warbands. Had they not it would have ruined the value of them and the items being offered in the big anniversary event.

Yep! I had 64 level 70’s in DF. Always level in timewalking. With the new 25% XP buff for having 5 level 80’s - I am only getting 130xp per mob on a level 74 vs 1100xp in a normal dungeon per mob. Decided it isn’t worth doing.

story of tww in a nutshell. front to back.
main protaganist…ruined.
main antagonist…probably the only interesting thing.
story…idk didnt read it too enraged by the first point to even care about it.
prepatch event…handled poorly.
early access-lots of people who got in basically got a fast track to leveling 80s.
the zones-okay these are fine except for ringing deeps.
dungeons-doing a cata 2.0 and basically turning heorics into mythics and telling the less skilled to go away.
guild bank fiasco where they ended up deleting entire guild banks by accident and werent able to fully restore them. no compensation given. other than a bp style “WE’RE SORRY.”

Not useless. Normal dungeons giving 1100XP per mob + 500xp per mob bonus from rested xp

oh wow, so big when you need HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of xp points.
so once again.
from useless to SLIGHTLY more useless.

It adds up a LOT. Each pack I can get 5000-8000XP. Keep in mind a WORLD QUEST only gives about 8000XP

no it doesn’t.
you get 10x more from 1 dungeon being cleared than you ever will from 3 dungeons worth of mobs.
and WQ give over 10k xp per one lol

In a normal dungeon I am getting roughly 1/2 a level from the XP in the dungeon from mobs ALONE. With the finish XP I am getting almost a full level.

1 War Within dungeon = ALMOST A FULL LEVEL
1 Timewalking dungeon = 1/4 a level or slightly more, taking 3-4 per for each level

It’s a HUGE difference.

It can still be fast. Depends on the dungeon and your group. If you can speed the dungeon in 5-8 mins it’s not terrible. But some groups are zzz

They are nerfing the scaling in TW. No more need for the op custom gear sets that took advantage of their broken scaling.

They will now scale to the player’s level, with level 10’s fighting alongside ilev 620’s.

What could possibly go wrong?
