I don’t really understand why chromie time is not possible at max level. Level sync works… why not chromie time?
The reason I ask is because I have been working on loremaster for awhile. Going through WoD now. It’s so mind-numbing to one shot mobs with holy Nova or shadow word pain. It makes questing really unfun for me. If I had the option to scale mobs to my ilvl I would enjoy the questing experience a lot more.
As it stands pretty much everything below the current expansion dies in 1-2 hits unless you’re in a raid or dungeon. That’s great for people who can enjoy that long term, I don’t think 1 shotting everything should be removed. But what about people who actually enjoy playing their characters class? Using a rotation on mobs would be kind of nice.
Being able to see the RP play out on some of these mobs… Listening to their voice acting etc would be really nice as well. As funny as it is one shotting a big bad and watching them fall over at the end of a quest chain…it’s not very fulfilling either. Especially when I miss special mechanics and dialogue.
I just really don’t understand how we have this huge game to play with so much content and just the recent expansion has any sort of difficulty behind it. Everything else just falls over dead with the press of a button.
I’m not asking for dungeons or raids to be scaled, even tho solo challenge modes would be really cool… I just want a questing experience that takes at least a small amount of effort?
Thoughts?
PS: I know about locking a character at 59 and staying in chromie. That’s not my main.
EDIT: There has been some hesitance allowing max levels into chromie time and I understand the concern. Maybe “Chromie time” Isn’t the correct way to go about this. But a system like “Level syncing” a zone to your ilvl without the need of another person in your party is a better route. All I want from a change like this is being able to quest without everything dying in one hit.
My suggestion has nothing to do with ganking lowbies in WM or disrupting any sort of leveling experience they are having. And I would really appreciate it if we can stay on topic with the questing experience in old content on max levels.
I like to complete stuff on my main and have a good time doing it. I don’t play a lot of alts anymore.
Yes in a way that isn’t forced upon anyone else of course. Just mainly for people like me who enjoy playing their class and using their toolkit in the open world.
Yes it’s pretty poor. I don’t really see any downsides of allowing you to scale world content. It would just improve the experience, at least for me.
Hmm I hope they don’t ever do this. I wish they would let you level to max in Chromie Time because I find older zones much more fun than newer ones but I think max levels should immediately get kicked as soon as they ding.
I like leveling in WM and Chromie Time without being harassed by people that hit max level and are now bored.
This would be nice; I found out several months ago I can’t complete a Dragonblight side quest because I instantly kill the mobs needed for the quest where I need to use an item on them when they are at low health and the Soft Foam Sword and Whole-Body Shrinka’ toys don’t help.
Wild guess, but it’s because it would be exploited for a variety of reasons. For instance, bots would love to be able to sheltered from prying eyes by hiding in chrome time forever. You’d also have people scurrying into chromie time to get less competition for resource nodes.
Because “Ion”, no doubt.
If you can cheat it with a free account, for god said we know its not hurting anything so just let us CT with any character regardless of level.
I think scaling the world was a bad idea but that ship sailed and it’s never coming back.
But Chromie Time is for people leveling. If you don’t want to one shot mobs on your max level then just make a new alt to do Loremaster. Work on each zone until you get kicked out of Chromie time then make a new one.
Exactly.
we level so fast now and can level anywhere.
Sometimes I want to take one of my max level characters and go do something I didnt do on it AT LEVEL instead of one shotting everything
The ONLY people here who no comprende this issue are either one character all stars…or those just trying to argue for argument sake to hear themselves disagree with someone.
They always pile into these threads that have ZERO bearing on their own game just to hear their own combative voices railing on about nothing
Whenever I think of the modern blizzard team trying to ‘create’ something their own, or ‘develop’ a new idea, I just immediately think of monkeys trying to figure out how fire works.
That doesn’t stop them from staying in hyper spawn areas for weeks at a time with no action. In front of whoever.
Like gathering nodes? Like for herbs and Ore that sell for 20-70s a piece? Since region wide AH for gathering I don’t see this being a problem. Nor would chromie time affect max level zones where these materials matter.
I covered this with my PS statement. I’d rather not, I like sticking with my main and would enjoy doing world content on him without it being braindead one shot everything, but I appreciate you posting and sharing your thoughts!
That’s end of expansion pricing on mats that will be completely worthless in two weeks. Cross realm AH impacted those prices, but gathering will be big ticket early in TWW, just like it always is.
you mean like they can do now on locked 59 alts, thus this point having no real merit?
Given we can ‘cheat’ max levels with a second free account and syncing to a lowbie, if cheaters were that eager to do it, its already an option…especially if there were actually something they COULD exploit.
