Will level 130 be the new cap

Or will Blizz have a level crunch?

They could pull a Cata and throw us for a loop with 5 levels.

They could but I don’t think it’s likely. They didn’t like how five levels worked in Cata/Mists. That’s why they went back to 10-per expansion.

Level squish idea needs to die in a fire.

So much this. Not a single person who has advocated for this has been able to explain why and what it will help.

Oh they’ve tried. But everything they come up with can be countered. It’s either personal preference on their part or it boils down to a new talent system would be better to solve things.

If they do a level squish, they’ll end up having to deal with a subscription squish, i.e., they’ll lose some formerly loyal players.

I don’t get the level squish idea. You reduce the number but change nothing else, so what really changes? It’s still going to take just as long as it does for returning or new players.

Ding ding ding. It changes nothing.

It is an illusion. Supposedly there is a large demographic out there that would play the game but a 120 level cap terrifies them and they stick with Hello Kitty Adventure Island.

I’m ripping this idea off of FFXIV, but perhaps New Player realms could have a Road to 120 100% xp buff. As long as they can level fast enough somehow the number isn’t as important.

What if they raise level cap to 150! :cow:

I like xp boosts. Would much prefer them over the level ones.

Level boosts don’t do anyone any favors.

Congrats your level 110, sure you have no idea how to play, but have fun.

I hope for a Level crunch.

In before “but it doesn’t speed up the leveling procress”, failing to realize that’s not why i want it to happen… :roll_eyes:

I want it cause having your power completely stop atfer level 110, and not even get new talents for 120 or 115, Just Azerite traits, which… are not going to be a thing in the next expansion, kinda sucks. Not to mention it takes like 2-5 levels to get a new ability from 1-100. After that, Nothing much happens. A Level Squish would at least pace the abilities and talents a little better. It would still be long, but i much rather have a better paced leveling system that takes as long as the current leveling system. (and not classic).

I’d take 20 more levels in next expansion if they give us talents at 110, 125, and 140.

If we get more levels next expansion and still no talents past 100…

18

Yeah but that ship has sailed already. Level boosts are very likely to stay in the game as it helps get people into the current expansion instantly. It’s a good selling point I suppose for those who don’t have the time or inclination to go through all previous content.

Oh I agree, it isn’t going anywhere, and it probably is a good selling point.

I wish they had a more in depth scenario to train people in the basic aspects of their class.

The one they have currently is woefully inadequate.

a month or 2 back they “asked” the players if they would like to see a level squish.

Despite it being phrased as if they’d only do it if the playerbase wanted them to, I’m fairly certain that the fact they brought up a level squish means that they plan to do a level squish.
