Rest State

[Cryptic]

Could be. Unfortunately I don’t know enough about the game’s inner mechanics to argue what would be the most effective approach for a weekend warrior to catch up to a higher-level group of friends. My guess would be that they should kill monsters until their rest state bonus goes down to normal or tired, then focus on quests, since quests awards aren’t affected by rest state. (At least, according to http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnotes/...html#reststate) At estimated recovery rates (from some of Katricia’s posts) it would probably be best to follow this approach Saturday and Sunday, then log out for one day, at least, then play catch-up on Tuesday or at the latest Wednesday.

It’s a point I can’t defend without knowing more about the actual numbers behind the next rest state implementation; all I know is that they were going to engineer it specifically to assist weekend warriors the most, with a faster regeneration rate and/or a slowing of the rate of bonus degradation. Either way, it sounds like they’re going to focus particularly on the problem of WW’s keeping up with their friends level-wise.
