martigan 1 Report post Posted December 31, 2016 Some zones are overcrowded and some at equivalent levels are not. I would suggest setting some of those less crowded zones with a percentage increase in experience...like 10-15% experience bonus for killing mobs and completing quests. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. You want a free ride. Go retail if you want xp boosts. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martigan 1 Report post Posted December 31, 2016 Wow, what a way to think inside the box. I make a suggestion akin to municipalities lowering taxes to draw in businesses, and you suggest I'm looking for a free ride. No, I'm looking to see more adventurers in areas like Stone talon Peak, Desolace, and even Southshore. It's difficult getting groups there because of the lack of fellow players. The best way, in my opinion, to entice them is to provide an experincentive bonus. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xp boosts are lazy as shit and cater to casual boring plebs like yourself. If you want to incentise something then think on the lines of PvP or Quests. Regardless, neither of these suggestions (PvP will happen but extra quests won't happen) will be added to vanilla and 100% your bonus xp boost won't be added either. PS: Desolace and Hillsbarad are awsome (for horde atleast). Edited December 31, 2016 by Shayss 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormhart 12 Report post Posted December 31, 2016 That is not something I'd like to see. The mentality of this project is to keep it as blizzlike as possible, that means 1x rates, which a lot of the community likes. Bonus rates, even the 15% suggested, would undermine this mentality. Plus there will be the debate which zones, should recieve this boost. Leveling is part of the challenge which vanilla brings, even if it's crowded. I was always fond of the "healthy" competition between groups, trying to tag the mob. The population among zones will smooth out eventually. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mimma 10 Report post Posted December 31, 2016 A new realm is opened in a week, that should take some of the pressure in the starting zones at least. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

martigan 1 Report post Posted January 1, 2017 I did, but I was in a great guild and a pretty decent PvP realm. I played Alliance at the time and other Alliance weren't like that, at least not in my experience. I started on Sargeras (PvP) in Nov 2004. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riplip 2 Report post Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) Why is this thread still going on? This won't happen. Find a group of friends who will go anywhere with you, and brave through the sea of horde you will meet at stonetalon. Not every zone is a 50/50 contested zone, some were designed and meant to be 10/90 or 30/70 etc. And southshore? Southshore is not abandoned by any means at all.

Microdots 7 Report post Posted January 1, 2017 All I saw in this post was, "QQ leveling is so tough. Too many people can't get quests done. Etc." Welcome to how it was back before there where tons of realms on retail. The Elysium project is designed around being as vanilla like as possible for vanilla wow. That being said adding exp bonus isn't vanilla like at all. If you don't like how it is and think it's too hard for you head back to retail and spend your money on a boost as it seems all you want is an easier way to end game. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

martigan 1 Report post Posted January 1, 2017 You guys have worse blinders on than most people I know. I'm not advocating for this for my benefit, but for the purpose to moving people out of the zones that are easy to get to, like Westfall, Duskwood, etc... to other zones that take some effort to get to... like Ashenvale, Stonetalon, Desolace, Southshore... ...thus the comment earlier about "thinking outside the box"... and this thread proves that many of you cannot. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tribe 4 Report post Posted January 1, 2017 No sir, this thread just proves that people don't want a helping hand and want to experience the good, the bad, and the ugly side of vanilla wow. This is one of them - competition for mobs and/or xp is a part of a launch. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This project isn't about "thinking outside of the box". It's about keeping it classic. The reason people don't like your idea isn't because you out imagined them, and they just cant get on your intellectual level, its because it's a bad idea for a classic server. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
