Is it normal that I just went from 40 to 54 in an afternoon? This seems VERY fast from what I’m used too. Also, where’s the gear?
This doesn’t feel like wow, I enjoy it but it’s not at all what I remember. I haven’t seen gear drop, what do disenchanters do? Is that still a thing?
I have zero clue what I’m doing lol I have a billion questions and don’t even know what to ask, it’s confusing but not at the same time.
I haven’t even looked at my old professions. Almost scared too.
Very normal, the game isn’t the leveling it’s the endgame content. There is so much to speed up leveling it’s a little ridiculous sometimes but it speeds you along to the current xpac and that’s where the meat is.
Gear is random but everything outside of a few items are able to be traded - ask if someone got something you can use, but you’ll very likely out level it quickly. Just soak up what you can as you can.
Heirlooms are best if you got them. They’re easy to get and upgrade and you’ll wear the same set until 50 or 60 or something.
Xpac enchanting is broken by xpac. You don’t have to level classic through current, just the bracket you want. You can go straight to Dragonflight enchanting if you want.
This xpac is some of the most fun I’ve had since wrath. It’s not perfect but it’s very good (IMO).
It’s a real shame that it is this way. There is an incredible amount of content just put on fast forward so you can grind the latest end game tasks.
I used to spend hours on Warcraft Lore videos and books. This is so sad.
I was an “hardcore” player during WOTLK and Cataclysm, but quit raiding in WOD. I skipped Legion (which I regret) and BFA and then came back for Shadowlands and Classic but ultimately quit playing completely.
The game was awesome, and its lore fantastic, but it lost its magic. I don’t know how to fix it.
Lol I have only put 3 new pieces of gear on from 40-54 and I didn’t even put talent points in yet.
Just learned about the new crafting system too. Ahhhh I gotta specialize now? Can’t just craft all the fun :( so many changes.
I didn’t even buy dragonflight yet as I wanted to get my toons upto 60 before pulling trigger. Won’t take long at this pace lol
Thx for the words
Since the level squish, you level up a lot faster than you’re used to. As most people will say, the real part of the game is the endgame, or at least things you can do at max level.
Gear will mostly come from quests whilst leveling, and somewhat sporadically at that. You could run dungeons for more gear, but you’ll mostly end up getting the same slots over and over if you do. It’s a part of the game that still really feels unpolished.
Good-ish news about professions though! You level them per expansion now. That means that you no longer have to do old content for drops to DE, for example. Instead, once you hit max, you can just learn the latest expansion’s version on top, and not bother with having to catch up.
As most people will say,
False consensus?
the real part of the game is the endgame
This is what broke wow : vocal brats keeeeening for new scenery to chew through, having processed a new expansion in 7 hours.
Now the early game is truncated, the middle game is broken - not a big deal as it’s cata anyway - and it’s all focused on 6 raids whenever they drop.
