I was gonna come in here and b about how "50% extra exp still isn't nearly enough when it's up from the that TW was giving" but I actually opened WoW and checked and it turns out that TW actually seems to be worth it - giving around 75k exp compared to a normal dungeon giving 50k
Just did Shattered Halls on my level 52 alt, gave me 72200 xp which is 32% of 225770. Not worth it.
Lol why are you all so lazy. Leveling is so easy now. 50% of a level at high level in a dungeon is a lot of experience. Why even bother playing an RPG if you don't even enjoy the leveling process.
Nice, but not enough in my opinion. Not enough to keep me subbed.
How is that not worth it? 3 dungeons for a level? If you don't like it, go and do quests. If you don't like quests, grind mobs. If you don't like any of those things - stop playing World of Warcraft, because the games literally been like that since the day of Classic release. Did any of you even level prior to Shadowlands? Leveling has literally never been easier, and you're still whinging. Let me guess, you'd all like level 60 boosts to be a thing, right? Then you'd whinge about the influx of players who don't know their class, or basic game mechanics, because they reached max in zero time. Go and play Counter Strike if you don't want to deal with any sort of basic RPG mechanics.
Anyone have some comparative numbers yet? Bug, nerf, and new hotfix?
Funny how they've been retroactively making changes lately. I wonder what could be the cause of this newfound attention to feedback..
Fair fix, Timewalking shouldn't give more experience than current Normal dungeons considering how easy you can blast through Timewalking using old gear like Azerite, legendaries, OP trinkets, etc. I just wish they would add SD, SoA, ToP and DoS to the Normal rotation for 50-59 cause spamming the same four dungeons is incredibly boring.
I dont understand why people are defending blizzard here. yes leveling has been a part of wow since vanilla.yes leveling took a long time back then.yes leveling back then was enjoyable for many people.BUT back then the leveling experience was part of the game.now its just a blockade to get to the real game.there is no content in leveling 50-60, its just grinding until you can start to playgiving players a (broken) fast way to get their alts to max level TO PLAY THE REAL GAME is not a bad thingi want to play alts,but leveling them is tedious and boring, bc i have to grind dungeons or do the same questchain over and over againbut doing the same covenant campaigns is tedious and boringbut farming renown is tedious and boringbut some BiS legendarys drop in old raidsbut doing boreghast on multiple chars is stupidbut alt gear progression in shadowlands is really slowbut 9.1 valor point upgrades arent accountwidealt friendly expansion? yeah right
I've never understood why they want leveling to take so long(after the 1st character on the account reaches max level) in the 1st place, with so much to do and catch up on at max level. Max level is where the most of the meaningf content is.For how many expansions now have they literally let us choose the zone we want to level? which to my knowledge no one complained about, to now offering ToF if we don't want the linear experience, but they know people in this community love to compare numbers and do whatever is fastest, so why not make ToF exp identical to the main storyline.Again I don't know why they want leveling to be so slow, like why not add on a leveling exp week every so often like they did when the lockdowns happened. What exactly is the harm in that type of event every 3 months or so.
shattered halls gave me about 70% fully with rested exp just now, not bad if u can get some speedy runs going. still waiting for torghast exp runs to be a thing /pray just hope its good.
I'm tired. I'm tired of this game. I'm tired of its convoluted systems. I'm tired of the same leveling process through a story that doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. I'm tired of Korthia and M+ and Torghast (that's all I do these days). I love leveling alts, but I get them to 50 (I currently have 27 level 50 alts) and I hit a brick wall. I don't want to do ToF for the 8th time. I want to get to 60 and try the 'end-game' (for me, that means LFR and Korthia stuff, world bosses, renown farm) on my alts. The insane XP that people were reporting had me so hyped up!... and then they nerfed it. And it sapped the hype right out of me. Even with this 50% buff, I don't even have the urge to log in and give it a shot. I have the worst taste in my mouth--and I'm sure it's the culmination of a long history of issues and not just the recent one.I'm tired. So I've resigned to doing one M+ a week for decent vault gear on my main. Outside of that, I'm just playing FF.
"We also took the opportunity to recalibrate Timewalking experience and increase it." Translation: We are sorry and we read your internet feed back. We have adjusted this please do not be mad at us. Why is leveling anything below the current content a chore, and why is any leveling the second time/3rd time/4th time a chore. Can we stop with the excess time sinks, and respect my time more.
I laugh… they’re in full on damage control mode rn. First reverting the planned domination socket nerf after the justified outcry and now this. This level of care for player feedback especially in such rapid succession is almost unprecedented and certainly very uncharacteristic of the current leadership at Blizzard.All of this newfound empathy for the players makes me wonder just how much of a financial hit they really took with everything that happened recently. That 10% dive in the stock prices looks to have been just the tip of the iceberg. Subscriptions are probably plummeting too and will likely take a nosedive when 9.1 starts turning several months old like it’s predecessor with no sign of any new content to quench the drought.They really ran the game into the ground… smh.
Ah yes, good on them for fixing fun out of the game but keeping things that are unfun unfixed for weeks or months or years
if everyone is looking for a nice quick way to skip your leveling in your game, perhaps you should fix the leveling instead of being mad people want to skip it. It doesn't help that it feels like the real grind to "max level" starts at 60 with trying to catch up with every dumb system, conduit, legendary, renown, etc.
