Patch Day

Ok.

55 works for me too. I can handle 3 levels of mind-numbing grind

[Marathon]

So glad I waited to buy my mounts :thumbsup:

It's not really a grind, from my understanding it's a long set of chain quests to get/use your basic abilities.

[Myro]

great timing on this one. My guys just hit 36 last night and are parked at the trainer in Theramore :thumbup:

For those of us stuck lower (golf tourney yesterday so no time to work on them) a faster way to ding-dom is on the horizon.

Is this meant to mean something other than mounts and the level adjustments that happened some months back? What are they doing now? Can I get a link?

OMG!! My level 36 team will be soooo happy!!

I can't see how this change is anything but good, even though I doubt I'll ever level another toon with 12 70s already. Sure the "In my day, we did it the hard way" crew will QQ, but who cares.

I want to stab those types of QQers in the eye with a spork. Then they could say "In my day we did it with one eye!"

Hate them.

Since so much of this game is focused on end-game, I don't have a problem with anything that makes it easier to get to 70. That's something I actually liked in GuildWars - you can create a max-level (20) character immediately to PvP with. There are a couple skills you could only get by leveling from 1-20, but you get to feel how a character plays immediately.

Now, for other games, there is a certain mystique with the extreme difficulty (time) required to get to max level. It makes those high-level players extremely rare to come across, unlike WoW where a majority of players have at least 1 level 70. I like both aspects, as long as they fit the game. WoW is great for end-game, but I think some other games could be amazing if they focused more on the adventure instead of simply leveling up. Something like a Forgotten Realms online game based on the AD&D 2nd edition: Player's Option ruleset, but re-engineer it for MMO play similar to WoW instead of turn-based AD&D-style.. heh I haven't thought about those books in a decade.

Since WoW has been focusing on end-game, and basically requires you to be max-level to continue on to the next expansion, it only makes sense that they'll dumb it down and make it easier. That's part of the reason for the removal/reduction of so many attunements - they want it to be easier for more players to experience the work they put into end-game features.

Nah, was just saying that the mounts and the level adjustments meant "on the horizon" for your toons... sorry if I was a bit misleading...
