Awesome stuff man!

Oh, thank you. Hopefully with it comes the end of PLing and level capped content

This has been the best news in some time IMO.

lol @this 10char

I found Level Sync to be one of the best additions to XI ever. Absolute freedom to play with all your friends, new players and old.

My only hope is that ARR is as party-organized as XI was. Because, what good is Level Sync when currently most players solo leve's till 40?

I have a good feeling they will get it right. I also feel they will take the same model as they have in FFXI and just implement it here.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. Will wait and see how it turns out I suppose.

Lol, I cracked up.

On topic: I love the news, this makes me a happy kitty.

It's smart of them to add this because current players will have friends coming back to the game with a bunch of low levels or even level 1 character and they won't be able to do things with them, now you can do all the quests and dungeons with them

kinda true but youll still have the WAAAAAH xp is too fast. Or PLing will still continue cause it will still be better than actually partying.

At first I thought this idea of level sync was terrible.


I played Guild Wars 2.. and now I think it's seriously one of the best things an MMORPG could have.


Definitely a plus! :D

I feel like a kid on Christmas morning :D

In a hour there is gonna be more news! Like Sum*redacted*

I like the idea of level-syncing, high-level players can help their low-level friends w/o interrupting their exp-gain. I just feel there's nothing to gain as a high-lvl tho because of the level cap. We cant obtain attributes either or customize our abilities.
Well, baby-steps...

Well in XI you still got main class XP, so spirit bond at least? The thing was I know for awhile heal yourself in valkrum dunes XP while replacing a stream of 10-15 made getting to 75 a day or two usually.

So level sync + summoner = astral burn?

Great news for old and new players, means the mentor system that's coming into play with 2.0 has even more meaning to it.

I was wondering for a long while how we older players would help those starting over or coming into the game anew, thankfully this puts those concerns at ease and hopefully steps over some of those that would rather milk them for everything they can muster while leveling up (which will happen a lot anyway) to increase them our pockets.

I get to play with my friends when they get the game that's great.

Please, dear God, no.

I would very much like level sync to be implemented, so much more fun playing with friends when you are all around the same level, and can enjoy content at the level it is intended for.

I like the idea of level sync, just not how easy it is to gain experience and not have to fight higher lvl mobs. There should be like a 1% decrease in exp gain per level, so if you are 20 levels higher than your friends, you are only earning about 80% exp, which isn't such a harsh punishment, but punishment enough where you should feel a desire to fight higher level mobs, or slow down your progression enough to get your friends around your own level. :)

As much as I loved the idea of being this solitary THM hermit, I got kinda bummed playing GLA or MRD and not having anyone to protect. Likewise, a CNJ with nobody to heal would seem lonely. Solo tank/healer/buffer feels like a lot of wasted talent. Level Sync will help people flesh out their class identities better in this regard, as well as teach them party play earlier on. DD seems fine solo (I am reminded of Sabin in FFVI before the party meets him), as learning how not to take hate and maneuver around the tank's monster is all they'd need to learn.

You still get XP if you're higher level and not at level cap (such a thing exists!) and most likely spiritbond. I need more excuses to SB so helping people level up at the same time would be fine.

Thank fecking god.

That is all.

Your Sig.. got me.. BUG!!!!! Feels nothing but monitor.. DAMMIT! :P

they should level sync us to the area were in if im in a lv1-10 area my level should drop to lv10, and nothing will go to waste either.
if its the same as ffxi that would kinda suck since you have to keep getting lower level people to sync to.

Honestly, I can't say I'm exactly thrilled with the level sync since it was horribly implemented in XI, however I will reserve full judgement on it until it actually comes out and I experience it first hand.....

Only thing i hated about lvl sync in xi was it got your skills up wayy behind which sucked but we don't have that problem in this game.

glad to see level sync is coming. now i will just be ignoring help shouts from low level players lol.

edit: better point out i'm talking about people already are unwilling to help low level players or do any content they already have so this will only make that even more so. if you go and shout to do anything in game now if you don't have an active ls you are just sol. by adding level sync it just makes more people unwilling to help.

that's what i hated too and most of the parties were held in the dunes and I hated that area with a passion... blah always the damn dunes... but like I said i'll reserve my opinion of it now until it comes out and I try it.

:D awesome! I loved level sync

where does it state this? I can't find anything about it mentioned.

Have they clarified whether this will be archaic XI-style level sync (that is, you can only match other players in the party), or the more modern style of letting players choose their level (that is, you can manually choose any level below you, so you can participate in any lower-level content, whether in a group or solo)?

It is mentioned in the video.

So where does it mention level synch? I'm lousy at navigating twitter ^^;

If it's like XI, level sync will push players right past the mid-game content. I remember my second playthrough (i played FFXI up to Chains for a few years then returned with a new character after the levely sync) I went to 3 zones before I reached first limit. It was too easy to skip over all of the other zones because there was no reason to level there.
