01/23/2018 09:04 PMPosted by HipsterdufusSo where have you been before this change?Just sucking up how horrendous you thought the levelling system was?Or on the forums complaining that the levelling process was to easy/quick?Complaining here and there, but I don't generally feel the need to whine and moan in hopes of someone giving me attention. That said, I have offered some suggestions in the past.Here's a post I made, although it got derailed due to people assuming certain things and nitpicking details. Basically, this is not a new topic for me.https://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/20…

08/20/2017 04:58 PMPosted by WhitecrowI think a gnome tanking a dragon wearing a potato sack and dual wielding fish is beyond silly. There exist a point where things get too silly. Completely unrestricted transmog is far past that point.I don't think the restrictions are in place to protect any standards for seriousness. Blizzard in the past has talked about the importance of being able to identify classes to at least some degree based on a quick visual assessment. I think the game design term is character silhouette. Anyway, although the lines have certainly been blurred over the years, it…

08/20/2017 09:13 PMPosted by NixxeaYou screwed up by failing to clearly state what you felt the problem was, leaving people to draw the very reasonable conclusion that your gripe was leveling speed.My post wasn't about "the problem." It was about a solution to a problem. The fact that your first reply claimed I was asking for content to be removed (which was also upvoted) tells me clearly enough that you didn't read it. Funny thing is, even if people were correct in assuming I simply wanted a faster leveling experience, your first reply *still* misses the mark.Not once did I suggest removin…

08/20/2017 08:12 PMPosted by MellgaAs implied by my suggestions, the leveling is bad because there's no coherent story involved. You jump around from zone to zone, usually before finishing the zone, because you've outleveled it. There's timeline issues from going Vanilla to TBC to Wrath then back to current Cata. Basically, the quest flow sucks. My post has nothing to do with leveling speed, and I only mentioned leveling speed once in regards to giving context to the proposed adjustments. Everyone here has clearly chosen to take a cursory look at my post and simply assume I'm complaining about…

I saw you talk about removing stuff, flagging stuff as basically a waste of time, and gutting stuff, not to mention you called it a "slog," so what conclusion would you reasonably expect me to draw?It's a critical post, so of course I'm going to focus on the critical stuff. There *are* a lot of quests that exist purely within the context of the original leveling speed. As that leveling speed as increased, these non-critical (to the story, at least) quests just become useless filler. I wouldn't want to see them removed entirely, so my suggestion was to flag certain quests as optional and hid…

08/20/2017 07:59 PMPosted by Tovi08/20/2017 07:17 PMPosted by RainsingerThe leveling experience from 1-100 is just plain bad, even with heirlooms. In particular, the 1-80 levels are where most of the work is needed.TL;DR but I'm curious if the OP ever said in that rambling why leveling from 1 to 80 was so bad.As implied by my suggestions, the leveling is bad because there's no coherent story involved. You jump around from zone to zone, usually before finishing the zone, because you've outleveled it. There's timeline issues from going Vanilla to TBC to Wrath then back to current Cata. Basic…

08/20/2017 07:55 PMPosted by DarktalonSo change tradeskill materials completely or get rid of them, and this make your leveling experience better somehow?It doesn't, so I'm not sure how you read it that way. My suggestions for tradeskill changes were simply acknowledging that the leveling changes I proposed would have collateral effects on tradeskills. Nothing more.So pretty much screw everybody ingame that has put in thousands of gold so can level your alt faster?Not sure what you're implying here. The fact that you leveled a tradeskill under the current system (probably slowly over the co…

08/20/2017 07:41 PMPosted by NixxeaThe biggest issue with leveling right now is that the quests are a disorganized mess and Blizzard turned questing from an adventure into a conveyor belt.Which is exactly the point of my post. By reorganizing the leveling process, I'm suggesting we bring the actual experience of "questing" back. I'm kind of curious if you read my post or just a few parts and assumed I was asking for faster leveling.

08/20/2017 07:41 PMPosted by NixxeaI'm also not sure what "slog" you're talking about. Adding more levels doesn't necessarily make leveling take longer when Blizzard constantly takes steps to nerf the overall leveling time. Leveling has only take like 2-3 days /played with or without heirlooms going all the way back to Cata, despite the addition of dozens of levels. It can actually be done significantly faster than that if you really make a point of maximizing your XP bonuses.And the point you're missing is that the very XP nerfs they keep implementing to fix the issue are the ones that furthe…

08/20/2017 07:21 PMPosted by NixxeaThe last thing we need to do is erase more of this game in the name of convenience.Well keeping it around without addressing the issue simply won't work. What happens in another 2 expansions when the slog from 1-120 is even worse? Do we just throw more heirlooms at it?Plus, it's not like this content is getting experienced in any meaningful way by most people anyway. They're dipping into the occasional quest while waiting for the LFG to pop. Most don't even seem to read the quest text based on how quickly they arrive at and leave the quest giver.
