Copy/paste from various sources, just trying to get all the relevant level 20 info in one spot

LEVELING
  • Leveling the first time is special, but when you are leveling an alt it isn't as exciting,
  • New starting zone, Exile's Reach
  • New players can only start in Exile's Reach.
  • Brand new players have to level up 10-50 in Battle for Azeroth.
  • Existing players can choose Exile's Reach or the old starting zones.
  • Allied Races start at 10, can pick the expansion they want.
  • Levels 1-10: A New Journey for New Players
    • New characters will embark on an introductory voyage to learn about everything there is to do in Azeroth, including your first mini-dungeon.
  • Levels 10-50: Pick Your Era
    • Play the latest expansion, Battle for Azeroth, or follow Chromie back in time and tackle any other expansion you choose, with challenges that scale to characters level 10–50.
  • You can still outlevel dungeons and crush them for transmogs or fulfillment.
  • When you go from one level to another, you get something new such as an ability or spell, access to a dungeon, the ability to use mounts, or a new Talent tier
  • If you're going to be sending new and existing players into Battle for Azeroth, it makes a lot of sense for them to have a mount. (sounds like level 10)
CLASSES
  • Classes are made up of elements from each spec, then the spec doubles down on it.
  • Shamans still have totems, but persistent totems are coming back. Healing Stream!
  • Poisons are coming back, class wide, to Rogues.
  • Curses are coming back to Warlocks. Curses used to be an important choice, one Curse only.
  • Mages will get Frostbolt, Fire Blast, Arcane Explosion! Mages are master of elements.
  • Warrior can Shield Block.
  • Death Knight and Demon Hunter zones will be scaled 1-10
  • The original races will keep the same Death Knight starting experience that exists today.
  • Allied races and Pandaren will have a new sliver-of-time Death Knight starting zone that will show a short intro experience, interaction with Bolvar, and then you'll be sent off into the world. It takes place before Sylvanas shatters the helm.
PROFESSIONS
  • Currently if you want to make some armor, you have a few stats you want. Crit/Haste? Make pants over and over until you get the ones you want. What if you could take a Crit and Haste gem, add them as optional materials, and be guaranteed the pants you want.
CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION
  • Trolls are getting full body tattoos, tusk shapes, skin colors, eye colors separate from face.
  • Dwarves are getting a wildhammer look, hair and skin colors, and more.
  • Undead are getting the option to hide the bones.
  • Humans are getting new races, skin colors, hair, eyes, and more.
  • Everyone can be a Death Knight in Shadowlands!
PVP
  • Q: Will War Mode still be in Shadowlands?
    • A: Yes

THOUGHTS

I don't want to speculate much, mainly because I'm usually wrong, but it certainly sounds like level 10 will be the new stopping point. Allied races start at 10, it's where you are free from the starter zones to start other content. They said we can out-level dungeons so I don't think just being level 10 will grant us access to all expansions and all content. It seems possible we'll get some starter dungeons for each expansion.

With the moving of DH and DK's down to level 1 and the recent scaling they have done, I wouldn't doubt 1-50 or 10-50 scales for BGs and we get 1 bracket, but who knows.

They seem to be locking new players in the 1-10 area. That really seems like it will be cap for starter edition, get in, do the zone, do the dungeon at the end, see if you like the game (like it's supposed to be). Not sure what that means for vets.

I generally try to be optimistic, so hopeful that when you hit level 10 as a F2P, you get the option to participate in the 10-50 scaled content that paid players will be leveling through, and not get locked into that one starter dungeon and no BGs. 10-50 scaled PvP for everyone does seem like the next logical choice after letting 120s scale down into lowbie BGs on current retail servers.

Chromie time-traveling you to old expansion content doesn't leave a lot of room for optimism in regards to TBC/WotLK (and beyond) realms... I don't see Activision/Blizzard releasing duplicate content on different era servers, unless Chromie's time-traveling versions are Lite versions of those eras. One can only hope...

P.S.: Thanks for compiling this, @Hashbrowns!

Wondering how low sub 10’s can queue for bg’s, would be nice getting battleground loot crates on a 1.
 
Never touch my twink again when its scaled down or relevel it to 19 again what will u guys do? Or level a New one? Would be awesome if we could use old legendarys at low levels :p
 
'Warriors can shield block'
Aint gonna be a problem for me lol i use a 2h

Anything about monks changing combat style with different weps just like in MoP?
 
we will probably have access to the first zone(s) of each expansion that scales from 10-50. 2nd zone will scale from 20-50 and so on
 
I really hope we get a taste of all the expansions, even if just 1 zone and 1 or 2 dungeons. That would be awesome......
My favourite expansion was MoP and I loved that rifle u get from the first lot of quests in Jade Forest - on the Ally flying ship.
I really hope 20’s will get a sneak peak at the various expansions. That would be awesome......
Oh Chromie, please recognise me.......
 
I hope our Bracket stays how it is 20-29, or in SL 10-19.

-Access to more Cosmetic Armor and Weapons + Sub Races like Wildhammer or Sand Troll sounds awesome for me :D
-Artifact Weapon Transmogs maybe we get the Weapons them self too and can increase there ILV + stats (Not talking about Artifact Power that is deactivated since BFA) with those Relics, in Legion if I´am not wrong it doesn´t matter you can go to every zone except the Broken Shore.
-Even if we get only one ore two zones from each xpac enough to farm at least one nice looking Green Armor Set for Transmog + Weapons and Toys

I Hope they bring back Templates, Party sync ppl. play with Template and hope it comes back for all :3
 
talking about professions would be interesting. level 10 should open up all expansion professions so no more gfed northrend engineering
 
I really think the upcoming 15th Anniversary will be a test of their (all bracket) scaling that we might get in Shadowlands. Nothing confirmed on that, but seems like they are going that direction. Beta doesn't pop Qs, this is a perfect chance for them to gather info on a live environment.
 
I agree with OP,

downloading WOW again to test AV to get a better picture how and what could or can happen in future in PVP!
(for us)

IMO if we are all scaled to lv 60 like this event lack all the Talents and ability´s, then someone who is far ever higher
then you we would have still bad Cards in a 1 vs 1 even with Template and Enchants disabled.

Wondering if we can use all: TBC, WOTLK,CATA, MOP, ´WOD, LEGION and BFA Tier and Gladiator sets as Transmog?

Click to expand...

Wouldn't that be the death of unsubscribed twinks though? If there's one thing I learned from playing Alterac Valley on my lvl 20 it's that you can't compete with a higher-level player; even if the stats are more or less the same the fact that they have way more skills and talents gives them a massive edge.

As much as I'd like to see less bracket divisions, everyone must be on the same ground. And knowing Blizzard that's not gonna happen.
