A smaller level cap, like going back to 60, could be really good, in that way – give every level a meaningful bonus to keep people engaged, tweak the talent system to manage that pacing further, and it could be really good. The tweaks to experience required in 7.3.5 aren’t all that bad anymore, but the problem is that they lengthened the leveling experience without meaningfully enhancing the actual experience.
#Wow level squish confirmed full#
The pacing of current leveling is abysmal – the amount of time you spend without gaining anything for a level other than the number is too great, and it is impossible for me to recommend someone who really likes progression and the feeling of it to play the full leveling experience. Granted, the item squish didn’t have a lot either, and it largely has gone without controversy outside of the bugs with the second implementation. However, I don’t think I’ve seen a lot of support for the idea. Leveling alts (like the 6 remaining allied race characters I have to level) would be easier, and maybe it would mean more emphasis on story and content rather than using the leveling experience as a pacing mechanism. I only preface with this to present my perspective so it isn’t shocking when I say that I don’t mind this change, if it is to be done.
In WoW, where you have to generally do the leveling quests every time, I find less excitement in the gameplay, and I usually just watch YouTube videos or listen to podcasts while smashing buttons mindlessly. In FFXIV, the first time is nice because the Main Scenario Quests are great and fill the space with story and content, and after, I can level alternate jobs fully from sidequests and dungeon gameplay, which is great. – but doing leveling content is usually the most braindead I find myself during my MMO gameplay. I do enjoy the variety of other number accrual games that MMOs offer – maxing item level, increasing stats, etc. I look forward to the story, but the number increasing on my character frame doesn’t fill me with joy. I don’t generally like leveling, and while I can enjoy the content provided in leveling, I don’t really look forward to it. My opinion about leveling is unconventional among a lot of my blogging peers, I’ve learned.
So, let’s talk about this topic here again! “Are you aware that the maximum level of 120 will be reduced in the future (ie Level Squish)?” What is interesting about the survey is that the wording suggests that the level squish is a sure thing, by saying the following: I’ve been working on a lot of long posts (expect huge post flooding to happen this weekend!) but I had to write a quickie when I saw this article on Wowhead.īlizzard has sent surveys to some players asking about a level squish.
