Vamp/WW Quest scaling is bugged.

Spottswoode

I have definitively determined that quest scaling is bugged. I tested on my lvl 17 werewolf hopeful and encountered level 38 monsters. I figured because I had the quest pre-update 5 my quest didn't have the scaling attached to it. So then I converted a lvl 10 into a vamp and that person also encountered lvl 38 enemies in their zone. It would be nigh impossible for this to be a coincidence.

Pretty sure it only scales up, not down. I think they mentioned that they don't go below their minimum level.

My quest level was level 17. It was level 10 for the convert. There's either a problem with the readout or the leveling.

Read the patch notes.... doesn't scale down

Spottswoode

Still bugged. Quest readout said it was level 17 for me and level 10 for the other guy. If it doesn't scale down, the quest listing said it did. That's still a bug as far as I'm concerned.

Dude you obviously haven't read the notes.

Vamp/WW quest DOES not scale down. Only UP. It makes it MORE challenging, NOT less.

Stop shouting "bug" when something isn't exactly as you wish it to be.

Spottswoode

Ok, I'm not shouting bug because something is more challenging than I thought it would be. I'm calling bug because the readout said it was my level. I read the notes. That still counts as a bug in my book.

There is a bug there but it's a journal bug by the sounds. /bug it.

Have you considered that any thing in a zone that is specified to be for a particular level is not going to scale down to your characters?

The Vampire and Werewolf quest lines were meant to be taken when your characters reached level 35 and were meant to be difficult. They will not scale down to anything below the level 38-44 zone they are in. Even though some very dedicated players have been able to do them as low as level 10-25.

Therefore the bug is actually in the Journal and has nothing to do with the quests themselves.

Solo Scaling
Solo instances will now scale to your level. This means when you play through the Main Story, Fighters Guild, Mages Guild and other solo content, it will remain a challenge and you can do it on your own time. Below are some things to note about solo scaling:
Solo instances do not scale below the level they are introduced. For example, Thizzrini Arena begins scaling from level 42.
Solo instances do not scale past Veteran Rank 12 at this time.
Solo scaling is determined by your level upon entering the instance, and remains there for the session.
Solo scaling recognizes when you are having difficulty with a particular instance, and will compensate accordingly.
The following solo content will now scale:
Main Quest
Fighters Guild
Mages Guild
Stirk
Werewolf Quest
Vampire Quest
Thizzrini Arena
Orrery of Elden Root
Cathedral of the Golden Path in Southpoint

That's a possiblity but the bug didn't exist until this update. Since quest scaling was the newest thing added to the lines (besides the updates to the WW line) it's still the likely culprit.

The quest was correctly labelled for its level prior to this update. In fact, it had not changed at all for my WW hopeful, the quest still had the same boss monster for the hunt. You guys are misreading this quite a bit. This is not a "this is too hard" complaint. I simply noticed the quest level had changed for the quest and investigated.

Yes, they are at minimum level if you go in under 35. I have done both at level 18. It's hard but do able.

Spottswoode

Actually I just finished the quest.
So, let's drop the "this is too hard" thought from this. That was never what it was about.
