Beyond Frustrating that Eureka still doesn't have Party Level Sync

Just putting this out there, I'm hoping the Devs are working on this or considering something about this. But no party level sync in this game, especially in Eureka is beyond frustrating.

I was checking out the changes to Eureka Patch 4.41 yesterday and the XP gained in very nice with the challenge log, yet friends couldn't come to join me because they are too high level compared to me, this was isolating and since the system exists in all other forms of content, I'd love it if this was some form of priority at some point.

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Yeah, it's still hard to understand...

However, it's only a problem below lvl20. Above that, you can just go to Anemos regardless of your level and kill the same mobs every week for a really quick completion. And I'd say that reaching level 20 should be really fast now, thanks to the increase XP rewards.

I haven't been in Anemos lately, but Pagos also suffers from there being no level sync. While trying to get to 35 I would see shouts for lower 20 quite often and I wanted to tell them "I wish I could help you, but the game doesn't let me." I was in a party and I was just low enough so everyone could get their challenge log, but after one entry done I leveled and had to drop their party. They made the train harder in Pagos to force people to grind mobs...okay, did you make a way to level sync with party members? No???

I made it to level 35 but the light grind is so boring. I tell people I never get bored, so congrats Pagos, you did it. I wish you luck in there Delmontyb.

Thanks dude. :)

Yeah it could really use something like this.

Everything else in the game lets you sync down. Fates? Check. Dungeons? Check. Old raids and trials? Check.

Eureka is the only form of group content you can't sync down. I suppose you 'could' die a lot on purpose and delevel but then you have to grind back up.

I want this so bad.

But I also want them to nerf the drop rate for that stupid emote. It's not even that impressive of one to be worth the grind as it is :/

When I asked Yoshi-P about this at the last FanFest he said it was a great idea... I had hoped that party level sync would have been added in by now... this was before Eureka, but it's needed even more so now.

It doesn't matter, it's content condemned to die anyway

A part of me feels like this is a beta for something to come later into the game. Personally, I would love for the open world to be like Eureka, but there are things they need to do to make this even a possibility. If 5.0 does bring a calamity down on us, it would be a good time to re-design the open world IMO :)

Yes, to the umpteenth degree. When I left FFXI it didn't have the party-player sync function, but the game I left it for did have it; XI eventually added it after I had moved on. Eureka is in dire need of this feature, no question.

I support this 100% - finding a party at the right level was hard enough when the content was new, by the time I left Pagos, it was practically impossible. This is the best way to ensure Eureka remains viable in the future.

Truth be told, I don't think Eureka simply need a level sync system, but a "handicap" system.

The inspiration comes from The World Ends With You, where you can manually reduce your level in exchange for higher rewards. So, in Anemos, you'd drop more crystals, in Pagos, more light, etc...This way, you would be able to help others while still progressing on your own goal.

Syncing should be an option for those playing with friends, not forced by offering extra perks, otherwise you'd leave all high level portions of the map empty because people will follow whatever is optimal, you'd have no reason to kill things appropriate to your elemental level, everyone would stick to entrance mobs.

Considering mobs don't drop Anemos nor Pagos crystal and, AFAIK no coffer, you'd still have people doing the train, so no, this wouldn't happen.

Personally think it should have been released with 2.0 (or when ilv sync was added) as its been needed from the start not just for Eureka, content I dropped within a week of release due to the grind, sever load limit & group lv range (that & it being Diadem 3.0 not wistanding)

Why ? Most XP is earned through quests where level doesn't matter, solo duties are, well, solo only, and instances have been level synced from the start.
Eureka is the only open world content where you're supposed to gain Xp by chaining mobs.

This is going to be essential once Pyros and beyond come out. I want to help my two son's level, they are sort of interested but Anemos is pretty sparse these days and my level 35 just kills their exp...

I agree with this 100%. When I asked Yoshi-P about this at FanFest 2016 he said it wouldn't be too hard to add in and liked the idea. I want it everywhere becuase I help out new players and have to keep dropping and reforming the party so that they can quest and then we can do Fates together. It's really quite a problem. (Quest Sharing - so I can also see what they are working on would be a big help too)
