Please confirm my thoughts of EXP in 5.3..

[Ripfull]

Hi guys, lets make this fast and simple..

- How will the 33% make up for? is it going to ding u instantly if u are 88 with 75% in?
If not, what then?

[Cernunnos]

scaled I would imagine.

If you are 75% into 88, you will still be 75% in, but on the plus side, you wont have to get as much EXP to ding 89 than you would pre patch.

[Archimand]

any exp above the 33% will be wasted you will stay at 100% exp at the same level you was untill u gain 1 point of exp then u will level
any exp gained will be wasted so u cant get to 99% gain 1% and instantly be at 32% at next level

scaled I would imagine.

not scaled if you was 25/100 before the patch u will be 25/67 after the patch
if u was 99/100 before the patch u will be 99/67 after the patch and after gaining exp u will be 0/67 again

[Ripfull]

oh god... guess i have to spend more hours then...
- having all those alts and then they say 33% is huge.. well if it was the way that i thought it would be much easier.

so pretty much i will only be 89?

Aha, got it now.

What they did when they changed exp needed for 80-85 was that if you had more exp before the change that was required to level after the change you would be 1 experience point from the next level. I know this because it happened on my druid.

For example:
If you are level 89 and have 20% left for 90 you will after the change be 99% with just 1 experience point from 90.

That's how they did in Cataclysm, my best guess is they will do the same this time around.

So if u are 88, with 99 % u won't benefit for shit from it?

to save myself from this confusion, i stopped all alt levelling until 5.3 hits.

so on wednesday, i finally get to play my rogue and druid, might even level my shaman. the long grind from 85-90 feels more like 10 levels than 5 and after levelling 4 toons to 90 so far (including a monk from level 1 with nothing other than heirlooms in the first 2 weeks) i'm happy to wait for the patch. there's plenty of gearing, dailies and LFR to do on the ones i have levelled to keep me busy in the meantime.

Well, you'll get the few thousands exp points to be 1 experience point from dinging. But yeah, you get the idea

Blizzard may do something different this time, noone really knows.

No, you will not.

Blue already stated that all benefit is lost after you reach the exp required to level.

They're lowering the amount it will take to level by 33%. If you're at 75% into the level, you'll be at 75% but instead of it taking 5 million xp (no idea if that's how much it is, just an example) to hit 89, you would need about 3 million instead. You won't gain extra exp because of it, it'll only lower the amount needed.

And you know this how?
I'm still sticking with my guess.

If you are 75% into a level, you will be leveling up the moment you log in after the patch.
