Levelling

:lol: This had to be when the game was new though. I did think the fight was pretty tough going through it the first time!

He's quoting an age-old legendary feannag post :o

Srsly though everyone knows that the Assassin 5-mob pull in UBRS was the hardest. You'd pull all 5 and then an assassin would jew you in the back and you'd wipe.

Just started playing again and trying to get my 60's up to 70 and holy shit, tour guide/tomtom/lightheaded is great.

What end game op'ness?

Arena = Arms spec
PVE = Prot (tank shortage, boss fights, etc.)

Definitely liking TourGuide and TomTom. The only qualm I have is probably something you can't do much about, and that's firing it up mid-quest. I went back to Ashenvale 26 - 27 on my druid and I had to click around on shit I already completed. Probably a lot easier to start it from a fresh re-roll, but once I got all the completed one checked it was a breeze. Wish Blizzard had a completed quest section so you can tell as glance what you did and didn't do.

TourGuide also doesn't seem to factor in class quests, it was trying to have me do Laughing Sisters on my druid. Had to check it because I'm not a mage.

Looks like they nerfed the leave group/kill the mob down trick .. anyone else confirm?

just tried the strat I mentioned earlier ( dot the mob up, zone out, lowbie gets full exp when the mob dies). It's been fixed. The lowbie got the same exp as if the 70 was simply killing the mobs with him (like 40xp, rested)

Yeah .. I tried it last night 2-3 different ways .. I'm kicking myself now because i slacked off on doing this.. now my mage is only 34.. poop

I wonder how long this little exploit/counter-exploit nonsense will go on. If you guys are so dead set to find anyway to cheat the system to shorten actual leveling/questing time then you should either do 1 of 2 things.

1. Don't play the game anymore.
2. Buy a pre-made toon.

Clearly you don't want to be bothered with the time aspect of a MMO, then you pony up money to compensate for it. People who don't want to buy toons or pay money will have to put in the time. But you can't put in no money AND no time into a MMO.

Shit like this is the reason WoW is ultimately a solo-fest now. I can't even enjoy questing with friends now unless they all have mains and don't care how fast they level.

SHUTUP.

???

Where did this rant come from? I put both time and money into this game.. Paying for two accounts, leveling two chars at once on both of these accounts. Not to mention it's MY time and MY money and I can chose how to use both.

Save your Holier than thou attitude for someone who cares.

...so you're against people power leveling their own characters, but you have absolutely no problem with buying someone else's 70?

The rant came because of people trying to exploit the leveling/XP system because they don't want to put in the time to level normally nor are they willing to trade time for money by buying toons.

Want to get into more of a social aspect and level with friends? Yeah you can't do that now thanks to those fuckin' exploiters. Now the only way to level in a group is to constantly do dungeons. Outside dungeons you lose so much XP to mob kills you can't level at a reasonable pace in a group. Exploiters turned leveling/questing into World of Solo-Craft.

...Even with the group debuff to mob kill XP, the quest turnin XP is so grossly inflated that it really makes no fucking difference AT ALL. It's STILL faster than it's EVER been before. You don't group to kill mobs, you group to get quests done, and given how fast you get quests done in a group, if you chain turnins properly you're often faced with 50% of a level for 20 minutes' worth of work just two-manning a couple of kill quests.

Your argument makes absolutely no fucking sense.

Most of the game content is at 70, in fact most enjoy 70 alot more fun for most.

Funny thing is, in the past week I have access to a 70 warrior, 70 warlock, 70 pally, and a 70 mage. A bunch of ppl stopped playing or are in the Warhammer beta.

Your stupidity knows no bounds.

its people that write the leveling guide(s) and make a living doing it.

At 100 hours you should be in your 60s

btw wow has always been world of solocraft. There has always been a penalty on xp for grouping.
