since websense blocks the main WoW forums i'll ask here.

Anybody log in initially with zero rested exp while other friends had 1.5 levels worth? Has blizzard addressed this?

Curious as well, I had ~1/5th of a level's worth of rested.

It was documented by blizz that all 60's would have their rest xp reset to zero to start the expansion, but all other level characters would not have their rest state altered.

EDIT: At least that was what was supposed to happen. But we all know things are often not as they seem in Azeroth.

none of these answered the question why some level 60s got 1.5 levels of rested exp while other did not. I'd say only 1/2 of the people in my guild actually had their rested exp reset. The others did not. AND THEYRE ALL LEVEL 60s in tier 3. Not 58, not 59, but 60... 60s for the past 2 years

My Horde characters had zero rest XP while my Alliance mage was sitting on half a level when I went through the dark portal. Coincidence?

If you're going to troll, at least try to be creative about it.

Can anyone confirm having full rested? It sounds like such a weird bug.

You were not supposed to have rested xp, but due to a bug some people got theirs anyway.

Boohoo not fair etc but that's the way it is.

(above is what I got when I asked a GM, which seems like a reliable answer to me)

I can confirm that where I logged in with 1 bar of rested on both my accounts while another guilded rogue had 1/2 a level of rested.

Someone in guild had a hypothesis that they left your rested exp alone from when you reached level 60.

This works for my case as I know I never had rested left when I reached 60 hence the 1 bar on my 2 toons. Can anyone who had rested left when they reached 60 c/d this one?

fair enough. At least they acknowledged it was a bug and didn't pretend like it never happened

I had about 40% rested on my main and she's been 60 for 6 months. After 1 run of the first instance and half of the second (server crashed) I used it all up. Guess I was a bit luckier than others.

I'm in no rush to get to 70 but might as well do as much leveling while I can now. Horde seem to play nice now while we're all leveling and I don't know how long that's gonna last on Mal'Ganis.

My friends say I'm crazy... And I agree

A better question is how does the reset work? Is the rested XP reset the first time you log on to your level 60 toon or is it reset when you upgraded your account? Some one should check on a level 60 alt.

I will check this out on my 60 alt when I get home... but that's not for another 9 hours. :(

On the same account/same server my warlock (I logged into first with 90days at level 60) had 0 rested exp. My druid (30days level 60) had exactly 25% of his bar rested.

All rested was supposed to be cleared during patch 1.11 i believe.

I had about 2 bars of rested exp when I logged in on my warrior, I didn't check the other guys. I suspect I earned part of those bars waiting in queue for almost an hour after I upgraded.

Alliance seems to be behaving too so far. I'm sure that will change when the server gets stable. Kind of hard to pvp when there's a sea of red everywhere and the server is crashing every 5 minutes. ;)

Well... a GM said it was a bug. GMs don't really get fed info and have been caught pretty much lying out their arse before. So who knows really.

Same for Alliance for the most part. Honestly, as much as it makes our whole server out to be carebears, I'm not complaining. World PvP while out questing isn't new. All the content is. I think everyone is mainly eager to just see the content, and they realize that being aggressive is just going to hinder that goal. I'll leave Alliance alone, but if I see someone attacking a Horde player, I'll jump in. And Horde and Alliance are sufficiently intermingled that unless someone sat down and organized a roving gank squad just for that purpose, any casual ganking would likely result with the ganker quickly becoming a gankee. And everyone just wants to quest.

We'll see how long it lasts, like you said.

I logged in after work yesterday with 12% rested experience, which put me at 1/4 into 60 after about an hour worth of questing.

Hmm. It seems very inconsistent is all I'll say. I wonder if the servers started recognising rested time slightly earlier than the actual time of upgrade - I didn't play my druid between Sunday & yesterday & then when I logged in I had about 1/2 level of rested exp. I definitely wasn't complaining though.

<Fric> I think the only kind of gay buttsex I'd enjoy on any level would be assraping a smug hipster douchebag (also possibly a roid head and/or fratboy/Jersey Shore cast member)

The Sargeras realm forum was filled with silly posts about all the ganking that would be going on in HFP, but last night there was a definite unspoke truce going on. I even got caught by a paladin's consecration at one point and quickly got spammed with /sorry from all the nearby Alliance.

I'd predict it'll last until the population thins out a bit more into the zones. As soon as the scenario is a lone Horde and a lone Alliance finding each other at a quest area I think world PvP will be at a minimum for most servers.

Did you guys upgrade your accounts a while before logging in? I know i upgraded then didn't log in for about 3 hours, and had about 40% of a level rested from being logged out in Stormwind. And it was increasing a few points as I watched, so it rises pretty quickly. If I'd upgraded in the morning instead of the evening, would probably have been fully rested.

My roommate upgraded both of our accounts before I drove home from the store (1 hour) and when we logged in our mains to hand stuff off we had almost no rest XP at all. Either they reset it at midnight or it gets reset when you upgrade your account, which would be my guess. There's definitely discrepancy though; I had a few bars worth on my warrior at lunch yesterday but my mage (also parked in Stormwind, curiously) had over half a level last night and neither was outside of an inn other than transit time to TBC and neither of which have killed anything yet. I am fairly certain that one day of rest is not a half a level's worth (I think it's 4 hours per bar, which is 5% of the level so the mage should have only had about 30%). I know I have a screenshot of my mage hitting 60 somewhere, I'll look in to the theory about having your rest XP reset back to what it was when you hit 60 at lunch or after work.

P.S.: I wasn't trolling, I was being facetious :P

Yesterday, I logged onto my main (who was logged at an inn) with about 1/5 of a level, and shortly after my alt (who was logged at the portal) with a much smaller amount of rest xp. This was almost immediately after upgrading the account, about 12 hours after release time, so I'd just assumed that they started counting rest at midnight, TBC eve. I'm pretty certain that both of them had no rest at the time they hit 60.

How do your rest bars compare with that timeframe?
