This buff lasting a couple weeks is honestly not cool. That’s way too short of a time for anyone other than the hardcore players who play during work hours to get any use of it. Regular every day players can’t get enough use of it in a measley two weeks
I leveled a toon from 50-60 today in just 4 hours of play.
On the weekend even casual players should be able to level 2-3 toons if they want.
Edit: Just to add. I did Threads of Fate while queuing for random dungeons. Each dungeon gave about 3/4 of a level and the threads of fate bonus objectives carried the rest. Got about 4 dungeons done in those 4 hours.
That’s a huge amount of time for someone to take out of their personal time. You’re expecting someone to devote FOUR HOURS just to 50-60, FOR ONE CHARACTER? That’s nuts. You assume clearly people have nothing else to spend time on in life or any other game to play
Odds they will keep it till DF, Like they did with BFA EXP Buff
Highly doubt it given their record of ignoring most things players enjoy. But that’s why I’m asking for it and making a case…
This will probably be the case. They’ll market it as if they’re listening to players, though, of course.
4 hours?
2 or 3 toons on a weekend?
Good god, I could never do that and I put a lot of hours in this game. I think you may be another player confused about what a casual really is. That to me sounds about right on the goal line of hardcore casual….if that is even a correct term.
The buff lasts for weeks, most games events like this only last a weekend.
I could too. But I don’t. I have several 60’s, and I have a bunch of 50’s just staring at me from the loading screen.
And when I think about spending an afternoon to level one to 60, I’m just like… nope!
Would I do it if it took just 3 hours, instead of 4?
Maybe. Only one way to find out.
You have any friend in your guild?
Y’all can have that friend go on their geared main and you four on baby alts. They can pretty much solo the random dungeons and speedlevel you four at the same time. Three hours isn’t out of the question.
Just cancel your sub and do those things instead.
oh I think I can finish off the 2 I have started - got a level on one yesterday in about 20 minutes
And people wonder why this game is losing so many players…
4 hours on a weekend is pretty casual. I dunno what to tell you.
Well it was 4 hours per toon.
So 2-3 toons is pushing 8-12 hours. That is not casual.
A 4 hour game session on Saturday, and a 4 hour game session on Sunday, for someone who otherwise doesn’t engage with the game during the week? Seems very much like a pretty laid-back hobbyist approach to the game to me.
I mean, they already did far more hours 10-50?
If you have so little time to play what do you need multiple 60’s for? Seems like a problem you are making up. That would never happen here though.
FR.
Even if you play literally 2 hours a week, which is an absurdly small amount of time to play and was barely enough time to even leave town to do some quests and then get back to the inn during Vanilla (aka 2 hours was never considered a viable amount of time to play WoW), you could go from 50-60 in Retail WoW before season 4 launched.
Where did he say it has to be in one sitting?
Lets say you can play about an hour a day, that means after 4 sessions on your own time you can go 50-60. Two weeks is 14 days, thats enough time for 3 characters in that time.
Besides, without the evend youd be “DEVOTING” about 8 hours per character.
Calm down and level up while you can.
