Technically you can quest level in other places you just cant queue for the dungeons

Not that it matters butâŠ
I doubt brand new players would even know about chronic time anyways.
Itâs not that big of a deal in the endâŠ

I donât know why they donât force them into legion instead, itâs way more fun and a better introduction to the series.

Is it? All quests give strange grey items⊠With no use at all.
Also you only have one weapon during the whole of Legion.

Yes, it is.
When I got back into WoW it was before Shadowlands came out, and I hadnât played either BFA or Legion. I almost canceled my sub and quit the game because I hated BFA so much. Itâs absolutely terrible. When I got to level an alt I tried Legion, and Legion is leagues above BFA in story, questing, everything. Making people play BFA is actually counter-productive if you want to build a player base. Legion, however, is amazing.
The only thing people are going to get out of BFA is âWow, the writing in this game is REALLY bad.â I couldnât stop noticing and complaining about it when I was playing through it. But, then again, maybe thatâs a better representation of modern WoW after all.
You donât have to / arenât forced to stay in bfa. I tested this.
It forces you to bfa content yes but you just do that intro part up until the ports open to org or sw Thatâs it. Take a port level away in your faction lowbie zones.
You are in bfa content for less than 45 minutes if that.

They donât have to.
Create a class trial - play thru the little intro, then go to your capital city - (donât buy it, just try the trial) - after that, ALL CHARACTERS on your account - new or old - have Chromie time unlocked.
Iâm brand new and heard of this run around, and did it right away so
i could level my character & alts in all the different xpacs!

Funny part is two even if you have a bunch of high lvl characters you still canât pick a quest line to do besides bfa, in my experimenting I found the only expansionâs story youre allowed to.do is dreanor which is even more bs
As soon as you get your BfA portal room open, you can go back to your capital city and pick a different expansion. I had no problem doing this on my first character on this new account.
can you queue for other x pacs dungeons?
1: please donât revive threads that have been dead for 2 years, they are almost guaranteed to be out-dated.
2: you can pick any expansion by talking to chromie in SW or Org, once you complete exiles reach even on a 1st character.
Yes, if you set your chromie time to that expansion for leveling.

if you are a new player? because thatâs the point.
if you canât use chromie time until level 50 then you can quest anywhere but it seems you would only have BFA dungeons in LFD.
I have no idea because Iâm not a new playerâŠ
you unlock chromie time at level 10. It used to require you to get a character to level 50 or 60 to unlock it for alts, but this requirement was removed last summer, hence why this thread should have stayed dead, reviving it is creating confusion by referencing a mechanic that got removed almost a year ago.

thank you, that was helpful.
Wait, is this why my lowbie 50s are being forced to do BFA instances? There is no Shadowlands queue available and once they hit 60 DF shows up. Really confused because I already had another server with 13 horde 70s on it. Doing my alliance characters now and Iâm just confused why I was never given SL instance option.
Below 60 (50 in SL), you will only be able to queue for your chromie time setting. Itâs been that way since the leveling changes in SL pre-patch.
I never selected anything. Assumed that meant it would do whatever you would normally be eligible for.
