Do they still become retail characters at whatever level they are?<\/p>\n<p>Also, why did I make 4 more Timerunners, when I still haven&#8217;t gotten the 2nd to max level?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>tl;dr: Yes. It should be a 1:1, ie, if you hit level 10 in Remists you&#8217;ll get a level 10 on Retail. Since Remists is slated to end well before the prepatch, let alone <em>TWW<\/em>, any wibbly wobbly from additional level cap should be negated.<\/p>\n<p>As to why you made extra alts, that&#8217;s between you and your particular variety of brain worms.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"bw_queue_hr_v2\" \/>\n<div class=\"bw_queue_question_v2\">\n<div class=\"bw_queue_question_from_v2\">TELWAR<\/div>\n<div class=\"bw_queue_question_body_v2\">\n<p>QftQ: When is Blizzard going to turn off the Invoker and Plate leggos in TWW?<\/p>\n<p>1) 79th level<br \/>\n2) 75th level<br \/>\n3) 71st level<br \/>\n4) 1 xp after 70<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to guess that they&#8217;ll probably turn off the bonuses at level 71, but they&#8217;ll still allow the pieces to be equipped, and gradually fall off in effectiveness until they can be replaced by some crummy green quest reward around level 78. That&#8217;s generally how things go &#8212; they don&#8217;t want you to keep using them forever, but usually they add in those fixes during the pre-patch, and it would suck to have your Legendary suddenly suck and you have no real recourse for a couple months in the meantime.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"bw_queue_hr_v2\" \/>\n<div class=\"bw_queue_question_v2\">\n<div class=\"bw_queue_question_from_v2\">MUSEDMOOSE<\/div>\n<div class=\"bw_queue_question_body_v2\">\n<p>Q4tQ: do you think we&#8217;ll see Legion Remix next, or another expansion? I&#8217;m thinking Legion because it&#8217;s still a major fan favorite, and I don&#8217;t think WoD Remix would go over as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>I think <em>Legion<\/em>\u00a0is the safest bet of all of them to Remix, simply because of the long-term gearing (and improvement) mechanic, which follows a similar idea to the cloak. We didn&#8217;t really have anything like that in <em>WoD<\/em>. Though we did have the Azerite necklace in <em>BfA<\/em>, compared to our Artifact weapons, it was kinda lackluster and boring &#8212; the upgrade tree was neat, and it&#8217;s somewhat similar to Threads, but it&#8217;s not quite as exciting or transmoggable, compared to the Artifacts.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d also bet that in <em>Legion<\/em> Remix we&#8217;d get to and through Suramar City and the Thalyssra upgrade chain far faster, which is just icing on the cake.<\/p>\n<p>I would also consider a <em>Wrath<\/em> Remix to be on the table from a popularity standpoint alone. Of course, they&#8217;ve already done <em>Wrath Classic<\/em>, so that makes it slightly less likely, and there isn&#8217;t an existing element associated with that expansion so they&#8217;d have to make one up. I&#8217;d love to see it, though.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the Queue for today.
