World Of Warcraft Chromie Time Auto-Boots Players At Level 50, Shadowlands Refunds Being Offered

world of warcraft sylvanas shadowlands bannerChromie Time is a brand new feature coming to World of Warcraft with the Shadowlands expansion that allows players to choose an expansion to level up in. Instead of moving from one zone to another as soon as they reach the required levels, the zones will now scale along with character levels until they reach the level cap.

In theory, this should allow players to experience the entire expansion content and narrative without having to worry about one-shotting mobs because they’re too powerful for the zone. But, according to Wowhead, this isn’t always the case. As soon as players hit level 50, Chromie Time is automatically disabled and they’re unceremoniously ported back to Orgrimmar or Stormwind after a short countdown.

While some players might be happy with just reaching the level cap as fast as they possibly can, some players actually care about the storyline and having to go back to a zone with a massive level gap just to finish it takes the fun right out of the experience.

In other Shadowlands news, Blizzard Entertainment will be giving refunds to players who pre-purchased the expansion should they request for one. This follows the studio’s announcement that the expansion will be delayed to sometime later this year. The pre-patch is still scheduled to arrive on October 13th.
