The Battle for Helm’s Deep utilizes a new feature called Character Upscaling. When you join an instance in the Battle for Helm’s Deep we scale your character’s stats and skills to level 95. Your equipment is scaled as well, with the level differential between you and the equipment being maintained through the upscaling.
With everyone now being the same level, 95, groups can be assembled from anyone on the server available to play. While an upscaled 95 will be less powerful than a true 95, through the Medals system they will still be able to meaningfully contribute.


I guess I'm having a real hard time believing this whopper. There seems to be no way this could ever ring true. Unless it is a face-roll of epic proportions. Then why would you do it more than once unless the best armor was tediously hidden behind it. Sounds like it won't drop FA symbols so why even run it? I'm already at the point where I won't preorder it(waiting for the sale and only paying tps for it) I won't even play in a group that isn't already lvl95. No upscalers because it seems counter-intuitive. It just has the feel of super lame. I also had this feeling for hytbolt and Mounted Combat and my feeling was 100% accurate there!
