After looking at the progress and the risk versus reward that we offer in the game play of Shadowlands, and also after reviewing tons of feedback on the issue we have made some major improvements in this update.
First, the XP in outdoor areas in Shadowlands has been increased dramatically.
This only yields for outdoor areas for now, and is the first part of a major adjustment we have in process for Shadowlands. We are looking into adjusting the experience gain for indoor areas as well.
Secondly, I had a long talk with Ergo. Ergo has now finally realized that challenging opponents that are way below your own level is not fun, so if you are the correct level he will let you pass the following playfields, without doing the quests.
Scheol --- Over level 80
Adonis---- Over level 130
Penumbra—Over level 160
If you are at the mentioned level or below it, you are still required to complete the quests to gain entrance.
In addition the update contains some other small bug fixes, have a look at the changes text for the details.
