Blizzard To Improve Leveling Experience in Ardenweald and Revendreth - Temp XP Beta Boost In Meantime

Correct.

As we work through issues that are making leveling through Ardenweald and Revendreth slower than intended, we’ve seen some Beta testers reach a point where they have to spend extra time finding XP in order to complete the Revendreth campaign.

We’re creating a more comprehensive fix, and that’s going to take a few days, but in the meantime, this is a Beta hotfix that boosts quest experience in Ardenweald and Revendreth, so that testers can have a smoother leveling experience in the meantime.

Comment by GeigeNeatComment by FelplaguedI went through the campaign a few days ago. warmode on alliance (so 30% bonus) and did only the campaign, and any side quests that happened to be in the same area as the quests at the time.

By the end of it i reached 78 and 1/2... yeah...Comment by IronNightIt's somethingComment by bollscramI went through the campaign a few days ago. warmode on alliance (so 30% bonus) and did only the campaign, and any side quests that happened to be in the same area as the quests at the time.

By the end of it i reached 78 and 1/2... yeah...Comment by KanariyaSeems to be the proper solution. Only having just hit Ardenweald myself, I can't personally comment on XP gains from those two zones. However, leveling rate feels appropriate from the first two zones, not insanely rushed like it was at BfA launch. Skipping the optional quests in both Bastion and Maldraxxus still got me to 16% into 55 by Ardenweald, warmode disabled the entire time.

As the campaign can be (and will be) entirely skipped by alts for leveling, I don't feel that it should be outleveled during the first progression.Comment by GamerhcpI went through the campaign a few days ago. warmode on alliance (so 30% bonus) and did only the campaign, and any side quests that happened to be in the same area as the quests at the time.

By the end of it i reached 78 and 1/2... yeah...Comment by zok123I hope they nerf the xp gain in the maw (when you start) and bastion. Bastion is a 50-52 zone, but before you leave the maw you're almost already level 51, and in some cases you can be level 55 before you leave bastion, if you do the campaign and all side quests, meaning you not only outleveling bastion but also maldraxxus almost instantly.

and Revendreth do need a big exp gain boost. I tried to level within the level bracket for each zone.
If you go to Revendreth at level 57, the starting level for that zone, there wont be enough quests to reach level 60 with wm off.
Ardenweald also got that problem. the zone is from 55-58 without enough quests to reach level 58, but you can leave the zone at 57 and go to Revendreth (where you end up encountering the Revendreth xp drought).

tbh maldraxxus might be the most "balanced" zone when it comes to xp gain and staying within the level bracket, just sad the zone feels so empty.Comment by AdmThrawnInstead reverting those stupid changes they did at the start of August (and removing exp buff from WM) they again do something many people did not want.Comment by hobbidaggyI just hit Ardenweald last night, I think I am just over lvl 55. So this is very much appreciated to see. So far living the beta. Not too many bugs but I have seen a few things which aren’t massive game breakers but just annoyancesComment by Grabo921Just give back our legendaryes!Comment by CalamitorI actually don't see the problem.
By doing only main story quests, I ended up at lvl 58.
Which was exactly the same in Legion where I hit 108 after the main storyline.Comment by hobbidaggy

By the end of it i reached 78 and 1/2... yeah...Comment by LissaNDanielI finally hit 60 yesterday after doing all available quests in all zones. I ended up at 58.5. Yesterday I did approximately 108 pet battles to get me to 60. I am glad they have adjusted this.Comment by KaesorI reported this issue 1 month, or more, ago...I guess better now than never
