By the time you can enter The Shadow Labyrinth you already have access to Wrath content, but you can level efficiently through Wrath and Cata without missing out on any dungeons.<br /><br />For a related note, they have stated the intention for Mists is that there will be no "level 90" non-heroic dungeons-- the dungeons will be more evenly distributed across the levels, and at level cap you can go straight into to Heroics without any gear grind.Coreushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10258450322199352185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-88654522893399629052012-02-06T13:06:18.001-06:002012-02-06T13:06:18.001-06:00*shrug* All I know is that when I finish a few dun...*shrug* All I know is that when I finish a few dungeons and then go explore for a while and do some world story quests, some of the dungeons I never got to drop off the list. This was more prevalent in later vanilla content, and most obvious in Outland. Northrend has been slower, though, plunking me in the same dungeon several times. The pace is slower in the cold, apparently.<br /><br />I take that to mean that it's viable to level either just out in the world or via purely dungeoneering, but combining the two means you outpace the LFD tool. I actually don't mind fast leveling, I just wish there weren't level bands on the LFD tool.Teshhttp://tishtoshtesh.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-32797671971701519872012-02-06T12:45:45.738-06:002012-02-06T12:45:45.738-06:00@cynwise: I really liked Utgarde!

If I stick around long enough, and with neat ideas like this I might, I think I'd enjoy playing around with a tank at that level.<br /><br />@Tesh: You have to get pretty high to be out of the system entirely. You can specifically queue for places at a range of up to 8 I think. That's how my first mage had stayed in Azeroth for so long. It's at least 6 levels, because that's when he'd stopped running the late instances, but I think that was due to trash xp stopping, not the LFD system.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-53682902462090837332012-02-06T12:29:06.600-06:002012-02-06T12:29:06.600-06:00Great article, K.

In fact, I'm sometimes saddened that I outlevel the ability to LFD queue for dungeons as I go about doing my Explorer thing. I also want to Explore the dungeons, and the system doesn't want me to go back to them when I'm overleveled. Yeah, I could hit up a group in chat or something, or wait and go back and solo them (I'll hit Karazhan when I get to level 85)... but even I want to just play with others sometimes.Teshhttp://tishtoshtesh.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-91184415976582712372012-02-06T06:29:10.581-06:002012-02-06T06:29:10.581-06:00I have had 3 level 70 twinks, and found this to be...I have had 3 level 70 twinks, and found this to be entirely true to the point where I will only run regular level 70 BC instances as the tank. I am better off waiting for a heroic to pop on my healing druid than dealing with a tank who will get overwhelmed by the pulls Magister's Terrace. <br /><br />There is a small but thriving level 70 twink community, both for PvP and PvE, and they are running those instances for a reason. Sometimes it's gear, sometimes it's reputation, sometimes achievments. (Usually it's rep if it's for gear.) Then there's another group, like you and Vidyala, achievement-seekers and nostalgia seekers and people who want to do all the Outland Heroics instead of rushing off to do Utgarde Keep 30 times in a row, seriously, eff that place.<br /><br />People in those instances are there because they want to be there. It isn't a rest stop on the journey to somewhere else - it's the entire point of the journey. I'm in Arcatraz or SLabs because I WANT to be there. <br /><br />I'm glad you stumbled upon our little secret. Stay as long as you like. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
