Why won't blizzard do exactly what I want? I'm the consumer, I demand appeasement !
I think 2 months for each phase is way too long, people are going to hit lvl 25 in the first day and start raiding/pvp in the first week. I hope I'm wrong and it's going to be fun the entire time, but I can see burnout coming real fast without some changes to leveling and whatnot.
2 months is good because it let you lvl up alt and professions without forced to rush.That's what i wanted, Blizzard heard me
I was hoping they wouldn't announce the level brackets so that we can't prep BiS lists ahead of time for those levels. Of course, we don't know all the gear from the new raids and the runes, but we know the existing gear.
its basically chromiecraft idea taken
Great idea to make old content irrelevant blizzard, while also removing content. Wanna do these dungeons they replace as raids? To bad, not possible. This is why you should create new stuff and not replace old stuff, meanwhile not making existing stuff obsolete.
I hope blizzard reads this. Lv 40 is kinda a horrible idea for the 2nd stop. Lv 40 is where pally and warriors start wearing plate. That means it will be extremely hard to actually get plate for the raid. You would have to do the first half of uldaman and farm zf trash in hopes of getting the few plate blues and fill the rest out with extremely rare greens. Otherwise 2 tank classes would be walking into raid with a massive disadvantage. It also leaves only RFD and half of uldaman to farm pre raid bis items. Not to mention its weird that you would make SM a lv 30-38 dungeon and Gnomer a lv 30-34 dungeon 2 lv 40 raids. That creates a dungeon drought of only RFK from lv 25 to lv 35. Stopping at lv 35 makes way more sense. It fits in the level bracket of current SM and Gnomer. It allows RFK and BFD gear to be more relevant. It doesnt force you to farm half of uldaman for your bis. It Elongates the classic + experience. Its fewer levels to have to get in what is already going to be short patches. It allows you to do the next bracket at 45 which would be Mara, one of the best dungeons ever made and a fantastic choice for becoming a raid. It allows RFD, ulda, and ZF to be the next pre raid bis farming dungeons. It allows 5 levels of plate to drop for your plate wearers. It creates a raid with 2 wings before getting to the hard bosses including Big Bad Princess. It allows you to use desolace for more dual faction content.It also leads nicely into BRD being the raid at a cap of 55. BRD is the most anticipated new raid people want. The set up of every 10 levels just seems to fit way better into classic then 40 and 50. I hope this is at least considered.
Please, for the love of God, don't rush each levelling bracket. I love the idea of Season of Discovery. And it looks to be my ideal way of playing the game. Sure, it doesn't take long to hit level 25, and I don't imagine Blackfathom Deeps will be a challenging RAID, so most players will hit level 25 and start doing BFD immediately and with a 3-day lockout, people will be geared quickly.I still see no need to rush anything. Each levelling bracket should still last for 2-3 months. If you have plenty of time, you can start searching for runes. If this gets boring, this seems like the perfect time to start on alts. You can get alts to level 25 very quickly, so if you only play Season of Discovery and spend tons of hours every week, you could start getting new classes to level 25.The idea of levelling brackets and having 2-3 months with each bracket is the best thing about Season of Discovery. This removes all sense of urgency and makes it the perfect way of relaxing with the game at your own pace. There is no fear of missing out or anything else pushing you to get burnout by feeling the pressure to spend hours every week. Sounds fantastic if you ask me.Moving to new levelling brackets every month removes the whole purpose of having the brackets. This pressures players to keep playing and not miss levelling brackets and their unique content. Didn't have much time to play in January? Tough luck. We have moved to max level 50, and Scarlet Monastery RAID at level 40 is no longer relevant for most players.
