Mobs not leveling with me

Mobs don't level with me when I hit a new level. I have to log out and back in in order for mobs to reach my level and even then sometimes many of the mobs will still be my old level.

This is actually intended; we've done some work behind the scenes to make it so mobs don't instantly level and get harder when you ding. The idea being that when you ding from 104 to 105, you haven't had a chance to get 105 gear yet, so you're wearing 104 gear and now creatures have more health and do more damage.

That's very wise. Addresses that concern quite well. how much does it lag behind though? If you gain 2 levels in a short period of time will mobs linger 2 levels behind or will the difference never exceed 1?


I believe it's somewhere around 50% - and then it'll trigger when you complete a quest, hit a loading screen, or log out.
