Legion levelling is disappointingly slow

[Tackhisis]

How is it taking you 2 weeks for 1 character?

There is a tabulation in my first post.

Its not that long, but what is obnoxious is how they force you to do the quests in every zone in order to level up. The XP granted in dungeons (besides the quest dungeon) and pvp is ridiculously low.

I get they want quests to be the main path for xp but just don't make everything else worthless, Blizzard always have this habit of taking players by the hand and guiding them on the theme parc linear progression system they want, let players have some freedom, its no big deal,we are not total idiots.

The way that Legion content is laid out, it makes a lot of sense for questing to be integral to levelling. World quests (both the concept and the actual rep requirement) make it important for the player to have been out in the world in every zone.

The big thing to avoid is a situation where players only start getting to places in the world after max level. Dumping players into the world like that doesn't play nice with the system they've built up here.

I cannot waste 2 weeks just to level up 1 single character to the level cap. Grind at level 110 is already enough.

There is a tabulation in my first post.

If those are your actual times, then you are the reason you're leveling slowly not the content. My first toon was 12 hours, and at least an hour of that was dicking around at 109. My second toon I didn't keep track of, but I can guarantee it was sub 10 hours. If your total time to 106 is 14+, then it's on you not the game.

I agree with the guy you're quoting. While questing is enjoyable, forcing it down your throat as the only means of leveling is rather lackluster. Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying legion a ton but I think WoDs leveling was better, reason being you had the option to run dungeons for exp if you wanted or quest. Legion, you quest quest quest quest and quest more. Granted you need it for the rep for WQ's but having options is better than forcing 1 way of leveling

[DesMephisto]

my first char took 8 hours to hit 110, and that was server second.

[WintersLegion]

Yeah we can't take your word for this since you think WoD currently takes a long time 22 hours total http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...abysmally-slow

[Kikazz]

took me 14 hours my first time, and 9 my second,

you are probably doing something really wrong, if it is taking you longer?

[Asotcha]

Oh I love reading the quest text the first time questing in a expansion, I just read them pretty fast.

That's pretty impressive

[Fang7986]

Personally I think getting to the level cap should take at least 100 hours of questing. No xp from pvp or dungeons, you have to quest.

[Triggered Fridgekin]

There's more emphasis on quests rather than collecting garbage and roided bonus objectives. I didn't really like it at first and, to be honest, still doesn't do much for me but at least addons such as ConsLegion have made it much less of a drag.

[Vishy]

Leveling too slow? literally took me a day and a half to hit 110. Just because you're king scrublord doesn't mean the leveling experience is "slow".

[Sithalos]

No, it's not.

[Fang7986]

Just curious I know I read faster than most but does it really take people more than a couple seconds to read quest text?

[Frolk]

The current levelling speed in Legion content is a way too slow. Here's some tabs:
1:55, 2:20, 3:30, 2:30, 2:05, 2:10, total 14:30 for 6 levels, 2:25 per level.

It takes more than a week of everyday play to just get a character to the level 110. Totally unacceptable.

Update: and the next level is 3:40.

Maybe its u whos bad?
Got to 110 in 9hours on release

[Argarock]

Don't rush through levelling as the game at 110 is a boring repetitive grindy piece of shit. Levelling is the best part so enjoy it.

have you played legion??
The Suramar content is the best questing wow has ever fucking had.


OT:
Yeah, the leveling in this expac seemed a lot slower than in earlier expansions.
spent like 14 hours getting to max level. but then again, I dont mind..

[thedinosaur]

If you speak to the people with yellow ! they give you quests which reward xp.

this will be much faster than killing boars like it appears you're doing..

God, not a whole WEEK. What will you do, you only have another 100 weeks or so until the next expansion...

[Trollfat]

Kind of lame how there is only 4 leveling zones. Not like before where you could pick some zones to leave for the next character.

Haha yup. They should try leveling during vanilla.
I feel the leveling time in Legion is somewhat short, but surumar questing adds to the leveling feeling for me, and therefore it is acceptable same goes for world quests - I like how "old" leveling zones still adds to the experience of exploring and questing, unlike the old daily quest system.
Either progress surumar or go to other zones and do quests. I like it.
