Part of that update also included controversial changes to the pace of combat, slowing things down so that players weren't blitzing through hordes of enemies like security detail at a YouTuber convention. Now, players could quest and level just about anywhere and their enemies would adapt to always provide a decent challenge. "At this point, the feel and pacing of the level-up experience is a top priority for the team," he assured.Īs Hazzikostas explains, patch 7.3.5 significantly overhauled the leveling experience by adding level scaling to all of Azeroth and WoW's older expansions. In a post to the official World of Warcraft forums, Hazzikostas acknowledged players' complaints and explained how Blizzard was struggling to find the exact issue. It's not that monsters are now more difficult and challenging (which might be a good thing), but that WoW's early-level combat simply feels way too slow. Players began complaining almost immediately that monsters in dungeons and the open world felt like they took way too long to kill than before patch 8.0. Ideally, the stat squish wouldn't have any impact on the pace of combat-only that doesn't seem to be the case. Of course, the idea was that everything else, like monster health, would be altered to reflect this change. Instead of doing damage in the millions, max-level players now hit for a few thousand. The culprit, in the broader sense, is the 'stat squish' Blizzard implemented in 8.0 which reconfigured WoW's underlying maths to make it all a bit easier to read. But one problem that continues to elude them is why WoW's combat at early levels feels so painfully slow. When it first rolled out last week, players quickly discovered a bunch of new bugs, broken quests, and erratic enemy behavior that Blizzard has been steadily hotfixing every day since.
Original story: World of Warcraft's 8.0 patch, which paves the way for the new Battle for Azeroth expansion, has had one of the rockiest launches of recent memory.
