Cue four months of wonky scaling making soloing legacy content impossible.

Cue 20 months of crying that everyone's "Hard work" has been destroyed because the stats mean you are the bestestest player ever

I would not mind to have same numbers as in SL for ever.

New expansion, new stat squish.

They're adjusting ilvl and stat curve to be linear from 1 to 60 instead of suffering from BFA endgame bloat at lvl 50 so it will be wonky for couple fo builds now.

This. Wowhead has a good graph to show what this means.

Calling someone's opinion a bunch of bullshit is not problematic to you? Well I guess not.

Frankly? No. Opinions don't have any special right to not be called out as dumb.

[Dracullus]

That...looks better

It's normal. Notice how in SL it's more or less linear from 1 to 50. We will see same sharp increase in 60-70 now. Funny how some people view this or XP changes as "fixing game".

New expansion, new stat squish.

Oh boy... here we go again...

These squishes are becoming annoying.

It's not a squish, it's rescaling for leveling.

if i can level 70% faster through 50-60 then it is a win because SL leveling is garbage

[Bakis]

You can get this one via crafting:

That look like something coming out of a Kinder egg and pieced together by a 6y old to be honest.

Afaik you don't even need to set foot into the Shadowlands becuase Chromie doesn't punt you out until you're 60 and ready to jump straight into Dragon Isles. Wonderful as I'd never enter that horrid realm willingly, even for just a couple of hours.

Looks like the color palette was picked by someone colorblind. Hurray for diversity I guess!

You can just straight up skip it with Chromie Time.

You don't level in SL.

You don't level in SL.

Funny thing is I never really been a altoholic but this the expansion I have the most max levels. The only classes I’m missing is dk/hunt/pally/monk. Mainly cuz of covid at the start of the expansion though. I haven’t really touched my alts. Lock main, war/dh alts

i have monk, pally, shammy, and DK at max and all other classes except priest at 50

I still have so many alts to level, I at least want access to all professions just to be able to check anything special added.

I would wait 'till Blizzard enables the max level templates for that - iirc the profession flaskataurs aren't available anymore anyways, at least last time I checked. Also, I think you should be able to see everything with level 60 anyways regarding profs?

[Kryllian]

I've been testing professions in Beta the past weekend. You can see all the recipes, but the drop rate on some of the mats is dismal. I'm assuming they're designed to increase as you gain knowledge and specialize but it's not clear how you get those points. I have a maxxed skinner who has about 5 skill points in specialization but have only gotten the extra mats (besides the base leather/mail) needed to make one piece of leather so my LW is still skill level 2. I've prospected a couple hundred ore, but my JC is only level 22 because the prospecting isn't specced to get the better gems. A lot of the crafting gear is still flagged as NYI (not yet implemented) which is probably also designed to help those mat drops.
