Leveling and Other Numbers
Shadowmoon Valley
Leveling and Other Numbers
- I played a gnome warrior in the Shadowmoon Valley, the Alliance starting zone. After about 5 hours of /played and 80 quests I reached the end of the zone and Level 92.
- At level 91, I had 63k health as a Tank.
- Monsters had around 100k health.
- I was dealing around 1k to 5k damage on normal hits. Up to 10k critical damage for some abilities (Shield Slam).
- It takes 597k XP to go from level 90 to level 91 and 640k xp to go from level 91 to 92.
- Quests rewards were between 10k and 15k xp. Up to 20k for the difficult ones.
- A new quest type is available: the "Bonus Objectives". When you walk around a zone, new objectives might appear randomly in your quest list. Completing the objectives will reward you with extra experience, leaving the area will drop the quest.
Shadowmoon Valley
- Shadowmoon Valley is composed of lush green plains lit by the moonlight. It has a very peaceful feeling. The glades and forests are amazing and very colorful. You will find Naarus, Draeneis cities, and Iron Horde strongholds in the zone.
- The Alliance starting zone seems pretty much finished. Lots of details, impressive vegetation, and a lot of different monsters.
- I found a lot of monsters from The Burning Crusade that have been updated: Talbuks, Nether rays, Turtles, Larvas, Boars, Sporebats, Wolves, Bees. The new Talbuks and Sporebats models are EPIC.
- Ner'zhul is the principal antagonist of the zone.
- The zone ends with a scenario that I couldn't test because it wasn't available. It was called "Grommar's Purge" (Note: roughly translated)
- I found the zone really well made. The vast plains and colorful glades immerse you entirely in the game. The scenery is new and doesn't give you a feeling of deja vu (except for some monsters, but it's not really shocking).

Hmm, something i guess i will have to see how it plays out first hand. I didnt like BC personally - its when i first quit the game so guess i will have to hope to get into the beta.
Wtf does it matter? Stats are relative so it doesn't matter whether they are giving you weapons with 70 dps on them or with 7000 dps. It was getting to the point where we would have had 20000 dps weapons and items with tens of thousands of stats in WoD so they just moved the decimal places for everything back one spot.

At 100, you'll be able to solo old content just as easily as you can do <80 stuff now at 90. However, below that, old content is intended to be as difficult as it was, when done at the same level. But since you won't get nearly the stat boost from 60 to 80 as you did before, you probably won't be able to solo MC at 80.
SUPPOSEDLY the squish is only when you zone in to WoD. When you're out and about you should still have a gazillion HP. That's what I remember from Blizzcon.
No, everything in the game is just getting a percentage drop. Everything is SUPPOSED to stay exactly where it is now but lower numbers.
You SHOULD still be able to solo MC at 80 according to everything they have been saying. It really isn't that hard so I don't see them failing on it.

Wel, they cant really squish vanlla though. Right? At lvl 1 you hit mobs for 16 and have 300hps. The numbers dont really start to inflate until TBC, So I think the squishing will start there and go forward.
