Some people still insist not seeing the point of alt-leveling. Wowhead even puts some of the benefits but they keep being stubborn. Keep playing 1 character the whole game then, Legion, as someone else has stated, was one of the best expansions to play alts, in many ways, but specially for those that would try and check firsthand each and every class' story, and even try the Mage Tower challenges. In BfA (it's sad) I keep seeing that very few people noticed the gold that comes from these assault chests from Uldum and the Vale. They can be done within 5-15 minutes at most (much like the time of an emissary of gold itself, but you can do them faster if you target the events+rares rather than trying to do dailies, which don't give progress on the bar). Every character WILL get 2k-6k gold per week while doing only the assaults. And that isn't all, you'll still have an army of characters going for the rare drops (I really hope sub 120 don't drop the mounts, 8.3 should be a 120+ thing). If I was stubborn like some people here and on the game, and played only 1 character for the 99% of the game, I still wouldn't have Ulduar mount, most event mounts, the Herald of the Titans' title, many pets, other mounts, toys, achievements, INDEPENDENCE from the AH (as I have all professions leveled up and gathering every recipe I can get), and KNOWLEDGE myself, of most specs. They nerfed a spec? Fine, I play easily another. Currently the only role I don't play is healing, but tanking and dpsing, I can play all. Legion is there, as I managed to get all dps and tank Mage Tower challenges. I envy who got all 36. Some people just can't get over their pride and try new things.
lol shadowlands? good luck with that and pandemic going on
i have my alts all leveled to 120, that is the only prep i am doing with them besides their professions, no point spending alot of time maxing them out, i guess if people want to go for it but i'd rather do other things. It really depends on how much classes are changing in shadowlands as to what i focus on
I don't have to do anything to get alts "ready" for the next expansion. The first few levels going a bit quicker is all that would be achieved for a lot of work before release.
I'd rather spend this time unlocking heritage armor with the xp buff, if your alts are at 120 they're ready for Shadowlands, full stop.
Been enjoying leveling up some alts. Both my currents have the benefit of granting heritage armor at max level but once max level they are on the shelf until pre-patch. I leveled up one of my alts from legion to bfa max. Super disappointed, no azarite power = low neck = no Azerite Traits with black empire gear. Compare that to the raid ready character boost it kinda sucks. I'm all for a grind but the content is old and long for a reason that has now passed and gets in the way of current content. You think they would at least have a item sent to level 120 now that would boost neck to 50 and grant friendly with the three main fractions to unlock world quest. I don't want much, I'll get my own gear, and grind the 8.3 stuff.
I would rather Shadowlands was late and have no issues than it was on time and them fixing the issues in the next patch. Which if is anything like BfA that will be the expansion after Shadowlands.
I level them to 120, get them ilvl 400-420 gear through WQ's and forget about them until Shadowlands. Why should I even care to grind a stupid mechanic, that will hopefully die a painful death, for the +10th time, on a character that won't be used for anything competitive, just to get a +50 ilvl upgrade with the first quest I make?They still will be able to do transmog runs or do any side activity easily.The time invested isn't just worth it. They could force us to "sacrifice" the HoA in the prepatch and all those essences and azerite traits won't be worth anything and any green item 5 ilvl's higher could be having twice the stats. Wouldn't be the first time.
Step 1: UnsubStep 2: Play ESO until Blizzard decides to fix the game.By fix, I mean give back player control by removing all that RNG from classes and extra RNG systems.It feels so good to have control over your character, IDK what WoW directors are doing.....
