Un'Goro Devilsaur Investigation
Unfortunately, the fun stops here. They only scale UP, not down, they could not be tamed on my level 29 hunter and their levels still showed up as ??
Was just something I was curious about and wanted to look into in case anyone else might have been curious.

Re: Un'Goro Devilsaur Investigation
I like the scaling in Legion content but for them to start making old world content scale in a way ruins the fun cause I am one of those who goes back to old stuff and at 110 blow everything away.

Re: Un'Goro Devilsaur Investigation
Either way, Blizz has stated numerous times that they intend to implement scaling to all old content. Whether it'll be forced or you can turn it off is left to be seen.
Re: Un'Goro Devilsaur Investigation
I hope they don't implement scaling game-wide. Being able to overpower old content is one of the most fun perks of working hard at your character. And while I appreciate some of the benefits of scaling in the Broken Isles, I felt it also added a layer of futility to levelling. As you levelled (and so did your opponents) and your gear failed to increase at the same rate it actually felt like you were getting weaker with each level. I didn't think it was a fun experience.

Re: Un'Goro Devilsaur Investigation
This is how I feel as well in regards to scaling, if they were to implement it on a grander scale. Hard caps that match the appropriate max level would be a good way to do it I think, so you can always end up outleveling old zones eventually, but while you're actively progressing through that particular expansion's content you have a lot more options for questing paths.TygerDarkstorm wrote:As a die hard altoholic, I would love for level scaling to happen in old content so I can have a little more freedom in how I level. That being said, I'd appreciate if said scaling stopped after each expansion's level cap (ie old content scales to a max of level 60, BC to 70, etc.) or for the scaling to not be in effect once you're max level, as I feel the same as others; once I'm max level I just want to blow through all that crap to get to what I need/where I'm going.
I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about scaling originally, but so far I've really enjoyed it in regards to leveling up alts with friends. No matter what level each of us is, we know we can just team up and go in anywhere and it'll all match to us. It's really fantastic and it would be nice to see in older zones especially just to give us that freedom of choosing our own path.
But I definitely agree that I wouldn't want everything to scale indefinitely, trivializing old content IS a huge perk of leveling a character and a nice reprieve when you can run around unaccosted in zones. It would be tiring to have the entire game match your level at all times, I don't want to have to worry about fighting things everywhere I go. The devilsaurs are kind of a fun idea though, I have to admit. It makes sense that you should still have to watch your back while in Un'goro.

I hope it works like that if it does happen because... I can't describe how much I hate scaling lol. It was tolerable for leveling in broken isles, but once I'm at cap it's just... Super annoying and ruins my feeling "powerful at cap". Can't really describe it well, since it's more of a personal point of view/experience
But on topic... I wonder if anything can/will happen with that devilsaur egg in shalaran during this mini event?

Re: Un'Goro Devilsaur Investigation
I hope so. I have this ugly little feeling that it may just be a loose end that devs never got to wrap up... or it could have something to do with 7.2.Rikaku wrote:But on topic... I wonder if anything can/will happen with that devilsaur egg in shalaran during this mini event?
I mean, Su'esh already did a pretty good job demolishing part of a city, I'd say her or her children could potentially produce similar results when unleashed against a certain shore crawling with demons.

Re: Un'Goro Devilsaur Investigation
Silithus is more of an issue than Un'goro since UG's scaling is just the devilsaurs (iirc) whereas Silithus is the entire zone, but as someone on a PvP server I haven't seen much actual benefit to these micro-holidays yet so my cup is decidedly half empty. The theory is sound, but the impact on the game as a whole seems like it's gonna be pretty negative if the effect of the holiday lasts all year and nothing is changed to compensate that.

As for the Micro Holidays, there isn't a reward to them except fun. Blizz implemented them to make then world more alive; not to give us more achieves or something.

Re: Un'Goro Devilsaur Investigation
My impression is that Blizzard has suddenly stopped listening to the more casual players and is trying to suck up to the more "hard core" players who bitch and whine constantly that things are "too easy".
A bit of palindromic wisdom:
"Step on no pets!"
Casual player.. don't raid, don't PvP. Suffer from extreme altitis
I love pets - combat or non.

Re: Un'Goro Devilsaur Investigation
I checked all the devilsaur NPCs in the zone except for the rare, King Mosh. All except the Devilsaur Queen now scale to 110. Maybe they left the Queen because they were scared to interfere too much with a low level quest mob.
If you come cross King Mosh could you please confirm he scales to 110 now?
Also, I checked Tyrantus in Netherstorm and he's still 71. I tried Slavermaw in Searing Gorge but she wasn't up. I just wondered if maybe they'd boosted devilsaurs everywhere but hadn't documented. It seems not.
