WoW Forever is breaking all the launch records for World of Warcraft and despite some minor hiccups it was the smoothest WoW launch in recent memory as well. But that doesn’t mean things are perfect as the dev team looks to buff a handful of classes to help them level easier, dungeon experience is back on the menu with a massive buff and we have a bunch more information about how raid progression is going to work at end game.

50% increase is still only less than 50% of the XP you used to get in classic. So it is still needs to be buffed up.
The thing with these very drastic changes is that you punish a large portion of the player base and practically tell them: You should do X instead of Y and nerf dungeons to the absolute smitherens. To me, this is insane. At launch it was at 25% of original XP gained during classic. Like if you want to make questing desirable, you buff questing and make it more interesting rather than just ruining it for half the player base that wants to do a couple of dungeons once in a while.
Being able to choose questing or dungeons is just as relevant as choosing a spec. It's solo/group vs group, and is mostly non-elites vs elites only, important for learning sustained fighting.
i was there
twitch muted in the background while i watch youtube
I hate the layering man, you cant do any quests between level 35 at a good pace. I'm melee and its basically unplayable. This sucks ass
No way, they finally removed the new raids from the PTR so everyone has to go in blind. No guides,no addons just pure try and error – figuring out for ourselfs. It was always so weird to me that they tested the raids on the PTR and let ppl make guides and trivialize the whole exp.
32 and its been fun.
50% of zero is still zero. Dungeon exp still blows.
I've noticed my Void Walker can't take more than 3 single-mob fights back to back to back hard requiring me to health funnel it. So yeah, a buff to the Voidwalker will be much appreciated.
Take your time with the AH deposit fix Blizzard…
It's not like it's severely hindering the economy or anything…
Did you look at the numbers for EXP from dungeons or are you parroting Blizzard? The EXP in dungeons is still 36% of what it was in Classic. This is FAR from massive.
Dungeon xp buff is moderate at best. It's still something like 75% less than classic compared to 90% less
retail ded
Wouldn't call that a huge buff to the XP. More like crumbs, but it's something
dungeon exp nerfing is terrible,some players prefer to run them and if you tell them no they will unsub
I stopped playing retail around the end of Battle for Azeroth. I was a feral druid and ranked 7th best on the server dps but i got so much crap from sweaty group leads running keys that i literally had to sneak in with moonkin gear and then switcheroo after the key was activated. Got tired of it.
Coming back to WoW Forever has been such a nostalgic breath of fresh air. Everyone is kind and supportive and i hope it stays like this for a while. Forever even.
I have been incessantly droning on about the Voidwalker since launch. Glad they are addressing it
"Instead of clearing you map of quests"
Oh, I'm still gonna clear my map of quests…
My Hunter pet is tanky enough I don't have any problems with two or even three mobs, the only issue I've found is it can't hold agro as well as I'd expect
50% of awful xp is? Still bad. My wife and I love running dungeons but it's not worth after quests. Sad af.
Try being a tailor and making bags only to have your bags underbid after you’ve posted them all and then losing more money than you made off of any of the sales. That was very frustrating
Xp in dungeons is still shit and not worth doing repeatedly, even eith buff its still only what 30% of what classic was
I enjoy both dungeons and doing quests. People hate on quests but it encourages you to explore Azeroth , the world that they spent so much time and developed over decades of lore/history. The zones have a timeless artistic design that ages well .
Maraudon and Azshara are stunning. I hope they do a lot more with a zone like Azshara it feels too empty for how splendid it looks.
