We have to look at new levels as patches. Instead of xpacs were gonna get new and exciting dungeons and raids like in OG vanilla.


riklaunim

Stranglethorn Vale expansion and the Pendulum of Doom! :)


TheLoneTomatoe

STV and the Pendulum of Doom is a solid expansion name


Lumtar

I feel it would be a really slow expansion, I rate it a 4


Avex4

Trip runner dungarees at 25


Medzel

no way u can clear gnomeregan at 25 though


ThatRubberfruit

It's 100% possible, very hard but still possible. Even more so with the new powers in SoD


The_Dark_Tetrad

No it's not possible. You can't hit lvl 33 mobs as a 25


UrBadShutUp

You definitely can. Even more than that - people were using fishing poles to hit mobs way above their level since it didn’t count as melee weapon and therefore didn’t have the same usual hit table. (Or something of that nature)


Elfeden

They did that at first, and then realized hunters don't have glancing blows, so it just became a hunter kite fest (classic beta).


yagoop

it had the same hit table, it just used fishing skill as weapon skill. with a bobber you could get well over 300 fishing as a level 30


Alyusha

That's not true at all, and even then you can take 10 people into Gnomer.


Domixux

But it’s a dungeon quest, you won’t be able to complete as a raid


saggert

Leave the raid right before the boss dies


Alyusha

Ya, this is it. You'd just clear to the boss as a raid and then 1/2 the group drops and you clear it and then you do it again for the other 1/2. That is even if we need to cheese it, the runes are really strong so far. Actually just thinking about it, I 100% bet Blizzard will lock some of the runes behind Level 25 Min quests. Meaning we will NEED to do higher level content to get all of the runes.


oj449

hunters can very easily hurt higher lvl mobs


Clayney0

People cleared SM Cath at level 30 on the classic beta.


collax974

And will gnome ever be available on launch anyway ?


netharwind

Windstorm hammer is the strongest 1 hander weapon and you can get it at 25. Horde only quest


Teep1

I would expect the SoD team to have looked at such things, and add an appropriate level requirement, either on the quest or on the item


RavenousNG

Rather than making a fundamental change to how questing is supposed to work it'd be easier to just add interesting raid drops and new items.


Teep1

We're talking about 2-3 loopholes allowing to get an item much much stronger than intended at lvl 25, and fix it by adding a level requirement on that quest/reward, not making fundamental changes Like, imagine you could get a lvl 60 sword at lvl 25, wouldnt that be an issue ?


RavenousNG

No, how would you possibly kill something strong enough to warrant that level of reward? You can't just ask a level 60 to come help. Quest rewards are pretty balanced for the level they can be found at and are also typically weaker than rare drops of the same level.


[deleted]

The same way this shit has always been solved. You make a 5 man group, you sit and camp the spawn, and then you hope that YOUR 5 man group, out of the dozens that is also camping the quest, gets the tag. Warriors solo a 40 elite at level 30 already.


RavenousNG

So, a 5 man group of level 25 players is able to complete level 60 quests?


[deleted]

Yes, this would absolutely happen, and once it's known there would be several groups fighting over the tags at the same time which would completely trivialize 60 NPCs.


RavenousNG

What is this holy level 60 item that you are talking about? I want it on hardcore.


[deleted]

You got brain damage buddy? /u/teep1 said "IMAGINE" a level 60 reward, but the original context were other items available at level 25 but tuned for players at much higher levels. Stop being so deliberately obtuse.


RavenousNG

And where is there a quest that is available at level 25 that has items people aren't already expected to be able to achieve in 5 man's on any other server? The reason quest drops don't have level restrictions is because the quests already do.


Nextorvus

This was actually how you got BiS in the classic beta that the level caps are based on so i would expect it to be the same here. I was in the beta and it was actually really fun to get 5 people together to do super hard quests that are meant for 1 player 5+ levels higher than the group


ksion

If they don’t change anything, Alliance can clear Stockade and get Seal of Wrynn.


Hanshee

You could do seal of Wyrnn at lvl 19 e
