If we're making guesses, maybe it will only be for 1-50. Let people level up characters and alts to quickly get to the main content?
They removed flying at launch for expansions because players would skip past all of the content that the developers had made. This is exactly why it won't be available on launch, at least not from 50-60.
I guess is you want to hurry and level a bunch of alts it would be good. I reached 60 on beta half way through the Venthyr zone. You don't pick covenants until you finish the story line so if you're just doing your main at first it doesn't matter.
interesting tho even if it did in SL it doesn't really matter how quickly you reach lvl 60 as no matter what you still need to complete the leveling campaign before you get to any of the end game ( lets say you ding 60 in maldraxxus you still need to complete any left over campaign and do all of the campaign in revendreth before you can pick a covenant and start the end game stuff )
I'd rather have a 16% Rep Buff than the XP Buff
Depends on if Blizz forgets. Thanks for making an article about it....... (kidding) :)
It had better not be active.
Maybe they will put a limit on it so that it doesn't work for characters above level 50? Surely there is going to be people that are going to want to keep leveling alts from 1-50 even during the first week of SL. :P
Look at it this way, We FINALLY have a release date for ShadowLands!
Guessing it'll have a 16% exp bonus that does not work past level 50.
No
Even though it's the anniversary buff, it definitely won't apply to anything new. Just like the first Impressive Influence buff we got. 8.3 factions were still considered 'current' so didn't benefit from the increased rep gains.Blizz, for better or worse, doesn't want to give players limited-time bonuses for stuff that's new.
I'm perfectly happy without the buff, especially for my first time through the new zones. I love the lore and stories and really don't feel the need to rush through. Now after the first toon, let's blow through it!
The anniversary event is currently rescheduled to start 11/01 and to end 11/22
Fun detected, Anniversary moved to 1-22 November :(
Didn't we miss out on a few days of Halloween event ring farming at level 60 because of the delay too?
