EU+US Could this RUIN twinks?

[Blazai]

Does anyone have any info on if the level squish will affect levels 1-20 level wise? Does anyone have any info on what brackets will be deleveled and to what extent?

What I think will happen is all level 19s will be level 9s, 60s will be 30s, 29s will be 14-15. It's going to be a mess lmao. Watch this video to see what I mean, Blizz usually uses streamers ideas so this is what maybe happening.. Then again on the positive note we may get a fuck ton of additional gear we can use.

Also BG + dungeon gear & alot more will most likely be GFD if you plan on staying at that level after the squish happens (going to 19s).

Current rumor is that the level squish is happening the day classic releases (august 27th)

1. Level Squish details aren't confirmed (Edited).

2. It can't happen mid-expansion, or PTR would at least have something to show it.

3. If it happens, Twinking will most likely be changed by unified brackets and more available content (an educated guess).

4. Personally I'd bet in a squish that brings the level cap to 60. It's a recknownaizable number and is a bare minimum reduction of half the levels we currently got.

Man, I would die if f2p/vet was level 20 with tier 2/3, lol.

i got lvl 9 from 19 because they're making it from 120 to 60, therefore dividing everything by 2. so 30 would be 15, 2 would be 1, 69 would be 34 or 35. logical thinking, really lol. but yeah, farm out your BG / satchel gear just in case if you're a level 19 or below, you might not be eligible for bgs and dungeons when this happens.

[ohti]

I think itd be cool if 20s went down to 10

Like the amount of gfed shit twinks today would suddenly have would he crazy, plus wed still get to bg hopefully. I'm also sure this would open up new gear options for us too.

What's peaking my curiosity the most is what effects it might have on lvl 1 twinks lmao

Level Caps per Expansion

• Vanilla (1-30).
• TBC / Wotlk (30-35).
• Cata / MOP (35-40).
• WoD / Legion (40-45).
• BFA (45-50).
• New Expansion (50-60).

Content Milestones

• Talents (5).
• Queue Systems (5).
• 60% / 100% Riding (10 / 20).
• Main Passives and Skills (5-30).
• 160% / 280% Flying (30 / 35).
• Mastery (35).

Main ideia is to fasten access to game and class content.

Time to level to 20 would be similar to what it is now. Every 5 levels would be about 1.5-2.5 zones worth of quests, with the 20-30 period being quicker.

It will accompany another stats squish to reduce the power level of existing items and allow for brackets to still remain at a 10 levels (but they would indirectly become larger, improving queue times).

Of course that's what you would do... because you're presumably a rational player that cares about "the new-player experience" and "a cohesive leveling narrative" and all that other stuff that Blizzard™ repeatedly shits-on with every patch as they desperately try to retain old players by extending the endgame-treadmill with "tEh neW mecHaniCs!1!" that will just be abandoned in 18-months.

(...I really have to stop contributing to threads about Blizzard before I wear-out the eyeroll smiley...)

The most-likely outcome of the level-squish is simply "everything is the same, except the displayed number is halved"... but Blizzard™ probably dreams of it becoming something more like:

01-20 Vanilla
40-60 Newest Expansion
20-40 Every other expansion combined (scaled for free-roaming)

...and an automatic 33% level-squish whenever a new expansion is released.

thats assuming a lot

Oh no my exploited 29 toon just dinged to 29!!!!1111wun

30 lvls of Vanilla to preserve the F2P community at level 20 and add a small room of fast levels. I also doubt all vanilla content would become F2P (since it gets raids).

Also, expansions aren't a straight line anymore, so no chance you'd have to play all of them to level.

This idea is more way elegant than mine! I liked the idea of playing any past expansion in any order.

Queue all the dungeons and never get the same one again!
