Why is the level squish scaling so total trash in old dungeons/raids?

I run in Black Temple normally for YEARS I could just take the whole raid on my back no issue nothing could truly stun me or hit me at all, I get in the room after Supremus and I get cyclone and stun lock forever, I couldn’t do anything at all I literally had to alt + F4 out of the game and not log back in for 10-20 minutes for my character to despawn due to being in combat.

How can these lower level mob even touch and land CCs on my level 50 when they are level 31? Did they do the level squish scaling correctly? Its not just TBC raids its classic raid too I notice mob landing CCs on me way more than before even in Classic dungeons why?

I don’t truly care that we are OBVIOUSLY weaker than before it only take like few more seconds to kill enemies, but the infinite stun lock need to go.

The most obvious part of Black Temple is the Harem, if you try to take all of Illidan Harem on you they will “Love tap” you until next year or until next server reset. lol

Its not a good experience man, I went in there expecting a two minutes gentle quick massage and I walked out of there after ten minutes with bruises, Nails scratches and Bite marks all over. D:

And this is exactly why I didn’t want a squish. It broke what wasn’t broken, true blizzardo style.

I voted NO to their stupid squish survey. Everyone who voted yes: look at the monster you created and weep.

Lesson learned for next time? Don’t vote ‘yes’ to changing things that aren’t broken (and no having to read a few extra numbers doesn’t make something broken.)

People will say, “Just wait until you’re 60.” Which I guess has some validity. But it really sucks for people who didn’t buy Shadowlands and have no desire to do so.

Looking at how enemy Agro range and chance to hit is now, make me believe they just didn’t truly balance well the mobs agro range and hit chances on higher levels yet.

N-no I swear! And I totally not got a premium membership card.

Was this in BC Chromie Time? Is there even such a thing? Because I just cleared BT on my 50, and nothing touched me. They all died to initial attacks like they did pre-9.0.1 squish.

I did it on two characters on a level 50 where it wasn’t so bad but I was still getting cc and stun quite a lot in the harem section and on a level 47 warlock where it was complete nightmare ccs and stun fest with infinite cyclones.

eh don’t kink shame man

I don’t think he’s trying to shame… I think he’s trying to get referral bonuses. Talk about how “bad” of a time he had, talk about all the “bad” things that happened, and we all go “it can’t be that bad” and check for ourselves. He now gets platinum super secret VIP status for bringing so many new customers.

Insert it’s a trap gif here

You know too much…

For the right price I’ll say no more about it and those posts will disappear…

My selfie cam does have some rather “interesting” pictures that are also available.

There are multiple threads about this, the level squish is broken like every other complicated system they designed into shadowlands that caused them to push back the release. It won’t be fixed any time soon either.

You know, it’s funny, for all the people saying “hey, make old content challenging again so people have a reason to do it”, then they do, and all they get is nothing but complaints.

man, Blizz can’t catch a break with you folks.

First of all, all those CCs and stun doesn’t make it more challenging in any shape or form it only make them extremely annoying and take longer, why the hell people would want to struggle in old raid or old dungeons 20-40 level under their level and that is after the 50-70% gold nerf who want that, who are you talking about?

Yes some people want “Challenging” old raids for characters of the right level so level 30 characters for level 30 raids, not for level 50 character in a level 30 raid.
