How noticeable is the 20% northrend exp reduction?

[Genooo]

I currently have three alts sitting at 70 because northrend is so fucking painful to level through. Has this made it a lot easier?

[depthnight]

Its way easier than before.

[Elementlawl]

It's a lot easier now, I've got 4 alts I'm leveling to 80 while I wait for Cataclysm.

[Nak]

Much easier.

[Conatzer]

I've gone from 71-75 in a day or so (not actual playtime) on my shadow priest, its quite noticeable.

[Bullocks]

Its like im leveling in 4/5 of the time.

[SolarLunar]

Thats good, northrend can be a long painfull grind after you've already done it a few times and alll the cool shiny adventures arent so new or exciting anymore.

[Eckae]

70 to 80 in 2 days of 7-8 hours gameplay ... 2hours per lvl . pretty quick.

[Anathema]

It doesn't feel like you're levelling with your nuts in a vice anymore. Quite normal now.

orly???

[rboa]

70 to 80 in 2 days of 7-8 hours gameplay ... 2hours per lvl . pretty quick.

Wouldn't that be closer to a total of 20 hours of play?

[Eckae]

per days 8 hours or so . but took me 2 days to get from 70 to 80 . anyways its no more a pain in the @)#(@# to lvl .

It's pretty much 20% faster!

It'll be very noticeable...of course I just finished leveling two more alts relatively recently, but on the contrary I'm more interested in the new Azeroth than in Northrend so I guess thats just as well. Will be nice for future alts as well as new players to the game, I suppose. They did the same thing with TBC xp before, and now you only need to go to like 4 zones to reach 68.

[Precursor]

Well if you know that felling of speed when you make a twink with heirlooms at level 1 and fell like the xp is raking in. well its like that.

[Irefusetodie]

If you hate northrend, do what I do. I leveled my dk through Borean, Grizzly, Zuldrak, and finally Storm Peaks. Then I leveled my mage through Howling, Dragonblight, Scholozar, and then Icecrown. Switch it up and it'll be that much more bearable

orly???

ya rly

On topic: It's a bit faster, I like it a lot more now, specially because saving Thassarian's sister stops being funny after the 2nd time -.-

[Cerebes]

now lets do some complicated math here shall we.


Northrend: Need 100xp
Northrend with good nerf: 80xp
Northrend wih xp heirlooms: 60xp
Northrend with cata heirlooms and guild xp: 40xp

yea its noticeable.

1. Sarcastically call the math complicated
2. Fail miserably at the simple math
3. Everyone is laughing at you, not with you!
