Switch out some ICC gear for the tier that drops. By Ragnaros you should be plenty nerfed.<br /><br />A player can queue for the instances specifically until 65 and will get some hits, but it is a shame that the raids are excluded. The worst is probably UBRS which can be 5-manned at 60 and could be made to work with LFD.<br /><br />@Lujanera: To that Id say the solution is a server merge or some other method to fix the population, rather than to dismiss content. This could also go further in the battle for undercity approach and effectively be run just by the NPCs with the players as little more than spectators, but I'd hope that players could see raiding for the perspective of a class other than hunters.<br /><br /><br />@Tesh: That could be great for friends trying to play together. Somehow players always end up spreading out more and more in levels.<br /><br />@TheGrumpyElf: I don't think MC was harder, but BWL certainly was. Oh god... That place would chew up and spit out guilds constantly.<br /><br />I can see why Blizzard removed the progression system, so that new players could always see the next raid, but I don't think they anticipated new players never seeing anything else. I'd have liked to see some sort of accelerated loot system as the expansion progresses, so maybe at first you need to clear Naxx more than a few times to be solidly prepared for Ulduar, but as new raids come more gear could drop so just a couple Naxx runs would have a character ready for Ulduar, then ToC, and so on.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-73346180118586163062010-10-07T12:44:36.152-05:002010-10-07T12:44:36.152-05:00I am a newer player but would have loved to experi...I am a newer player but would have loved to experience that back "at level". Going back now for fun, which I do often, I can only imagine that MC was harder "at level" then anything in WotLK is now.<br /><br />The way thing seem now however is that you level so fast that even if you could get a group together, in the time it takes to assemble it, you now out level it. My warlock did a random dungeon the other day and went from 34 to 36 in one run. Things move so fast at low levels.<br /><br />I wish that they would have used that idea in WotLK however. So people needed to do Naxx, then Ulduar, then ToC before they were even allowed to step into ICC. <br /><br />You hit 80 and run dungeons and are in ICC ready gear in no time. Seems to me that is loses something of the epicness that way. Being in ICC is now a right for every tom, dick and harry that has no raid experience what so ever. Would be nice if people needed to earn their way into it.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-37696498244065153952010-10-07T11:53:32.331-05:002010-10-07T11:53:32.331-05:00I'd like an option box at the entrance to any ...I'd like an option box at the entrance to any dungeon to immediately alter my player's character to the appropriate level. Maybe only make that work as a downshifting mechanic if you're initiating the run, but let higher level players boost lower level players? XP and rewards would, of course, need to be scaled appropriately as well.<br /><br />Whatever the case, I like that it could let players of any level actually play the content they want to, rather than grinding through the stuff they don't like to get to the good stuff.Teshhttp://tishtoshtesh.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-71883753002642821932010-10-07T10:25:40.583-05:002010-10-07T10:25:40.583-05:00it could simply be a quest like any other dungeon,...it could simply be a quest like any other dungeon, using the LFG mechanism currently in place. The problem with the current LFG system is that it queues for Outlands at 58 or 59, meaning that a levelling character (like once I have that just hit 61) goes right from BRD to Hellfire Ramparts, without even getting the Chance to explore the other dungeons like AQ or Molten Core randomly. Granted yes they are "raids". but with a little tweaking like the post describes and some NPC help, maybe it's possible. <br />I believe in the Brave New World... make it true, please!!?!Maebiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15818255129828936381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-27439536363159559582010-10-07T10:22:42.236-05:002010-10-07T10:22:42.236-05:00Where are low-level characters going to find other...Where are low-level characters going to find others to group with for these quests? There are a number of servers where one faction or the other is -very- small, to the point where putting together even an ICC 10 that can go 4/12 is a substantial challenge. Oftentimes there are fewer than ten players online in the 50-60 range, so those at 60 and needing raids would effectively be locked out of progression simply due to an accident of server choice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-30549342228197454372010-10-07T09:36:49.151-05:002010-10-07T09:36:49.151-05:00I hate to use a far, FAR too overused intarweb cli...I hate to use a far, FAR too overused intarweb cliche.. but: This! ^^<br />I was around in vanilla, but never a raider, and played on an RP server to chat with out of state friends "free" while randomly killing virtual critters afterwork. The whole raiding scene was waaay too hardcore for my playstyle.<br />Yet, even though I have the old "scout" titles to prove my "age" I have never seen inside Molten Core beyond the first few trash pulls, due to being far too "late to the party".<br /><br />Nowadays, it feels too cheap to Roflpwn the place with ICC-geared guildies, so they don't run it either. I'd love for even one of my alts to find a game-supported mechanism and "reason" lore-wise or quest-line-wise, to allow me to see it even slightly "at level". <br />Make This Happen, even if it's a "DK starter", "Zalazane's Fall", or "Battle for Undercity" style event. As long as the character can get in there before lvl 75+. even if they are "invincible" :)Maebiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15818255129828936381noreply@blogger.com
