An Update on This Year’s BlizzCon and Blizzard’s 2024 Live Events
MMO-Champion
Though the scaling is awesome, the mobs health and damage have went up significantly (about damn time). However, the amount of xp required to get to max (though only 60) is going to be longer, due to this.
No doubt this was done to finally make leveling experience better, but just saying.
Cheers!

For efficiency people this will suck but I really welcome the change. Make leveling something important again, and with the zone scaling you can skip the really shitty zones and pick and choose where you want to level

I'm sure this is exactly how it will go on live servers. nothing ever changes on the ptr servers. ever.

That sounds like an improvement and a reason for me to wait on leveling alts.

I'm gonna wait for the new races before I start leveling alts. Having to get more XP isn't really a problem for me anyway. It's already pretty short and easy.

Good, now bring back a talent every level, old talent trees, spell training, weapon skills, elite quests, resource management, and aggro. Maybe then lvling will be decent again. This is but one tiny step in the right direction.

Running 100+ dungeons without any social interaction till level 100 is so bad. I'd rather wait and level with the new system.

I don't know what you got from his post but I got the impression that he welcomes the change and isn't panicking. Originally Posted by tangers58

Though I am personally against the scaling it's not going anywhere so no point in talking about it.

I’m right there with you. I played a bit on the ptr and I love it. Originally Posted by Razion

And if past history is any indication the forums will ignite with 90% not knowing about this change.
Not to mention I sure in the hell am NOT gonna play a healer so I get blamed for the millions of deaths that's gonna occur from uninformed people when they go running into a dungeon and pull 3-4 groups and wipe in 2 seconds

2017-12-02, 07:23 AM #16DeletedUh what, did I miss something? Why does a change to xp requirements and zone level scaling make people wipe in dungeons all of a sudden? Originally Posted by Locruid

I welcome this change.
Forum discussions are almost completely worthless to developers. It is a bunch of uninformed idiotic users screaming their untested crappy ass ideas over everyone else. Real data comes from studying what people do in game, how they react to changes, etc.

Level scaling for old world content is incentive enough for me to wait I think.

Think I'll wait for the scaling to kick in.
Be more fun that way. ^_^

Because mobs in dungeons scale too. So heirloom cupcakes won't be able to grab everything in sight and kill it solo anymore. Originally Posted by Randyboob

These changes are absolutely pointless until they will make XP and Item rewards in open world as good as they are in the LFG.
Or just cut down the XP and Items rewards in LFG to stimulate people to level up in open world.
Lack of scaling never was the problem. The efficiency inferiority of OW leveling to LFG spam was.
