Shadowlands WILL have a level squish!

[Laqweeta]

CONFIRMED AGAIN. MMO-CHAMP - Current max-level characters will begin Shadowlands at level 50 and work toward the new level cap of 60.

[PenguinChan]

Imagine thinking people after 15 years of playing WoW, leveling with each new expansion to reach level cap being mad about a level squish is just about a number.

Everything will be crunched down to 50, then you get back to 60. You're still stronger and more powerful than everything else you've ever done in the game's history.

[Dadwen]

Wasn't stating an opinion dude ... and if you are so worried about a single number being half as big, just write an add on that doubles it for you.

Your new to the Idea of RPG's I'm guessing, Level gains used to have meanings and the numbers meant something.

[schwarzkopf]

YI'll just play a different game.

Not sure where you will find another game where you can be level 120 though.

[Laqweeta]

It wasn't an opinion. Spending 2 hours killing 100 boars until you find 3 of them with hearts ... that's objectively a waste of time.

It is an opinion.

Logging in to level a never ending necklace is objectively a waste of time.

Why are you posting obnoxiously instead of normally?

[Guildenstern]

I dont give a FUCK about level squish. They can fucking stretch levels to thousands for all I care. Now Ion better give me new class soon.

[Zka]

it will destroy WoW. this will be the thing that kills it

Lol, sure mate. They are reworking the whole leveling experience, which is BADLY overdue. This will definitely not kill anything but feel free to whine.

[schwarzkopf]

Your new to the Idea of RPG's I'm guessing

Yeah - only been playing them for around 30 years.

Level gains used to have meanings and the numbers meant something.

EXACTLY - and that is what they are trying to fix.

- - - Updated - - -

It is an opinion.

Nope - you should read more clearly.

Logging in to level a never ending necklace is objectively a waste of time.

It would be - thankfully you didn't need to do that in BfA.

[KayRule]

If that are really all the features fuck this and fuck Blizzard for not listing to what players want and destroying WoW with this.

You guys said you don't want grinds and that there's too much to do. Seems like they listened pretty clearly.

So I was right I guess....

[Dadwen]

Yeah - only been playing them for around 30 years.

and never learned why all that work towards levels mattered wow...
*sigh the old DING in EQ zone wide congrats... (and the painful deaths) and those numbers meant something, not something to take away on a whim.

[Stormgnoef]

We will see how it feels on launch. Hopefully it's a bit like classic lvling

[Daffan]

Now all I gotta know is if I should level now or later

[Laqweeta]

So I was right I guess....

It literally says "the new level cap"

It doesn't say anything like the "SHADOWLANDS level cap of 60"

The new level cap is 60, and will be crunched to 50.

[markos82]

I'm 100% in favor of the level squish but not if it works like that.

Would be absolutely idiotic to level 1-120 and then randomly drop to 50 in certain areas.

There's no reason they can't easily squish everything down and make things actually matter again. I think this is a huge step in the right direction, but I also think I wouldn't play if it only mattered in the new zones.

Why? It's like entering new area, when you exit it you are back to "normal" lvl

[bloodwulf]

I love this, and can't wait for it. leveling to 120 literally felt meaningless, and this is someone who has done it 10+ times.

People saying it will destroy wow, we will see you in 2 years bitching about the next mechanic change.

[Video Games]

So is there another stat squish already?

[PenguinChan]

So is there another stat squish already?

Probably. They could, I'm sure, just keep the current stats and squish the levels and systems for that. But why not do both at the same time?

idk about that :x. WoW isn't really contending anymore honestly. This might have just been the "bullet" people needed to switch to a differnet MMO (ESO, FFXIV) or even Classic
