[dev1026] Please reconsider level sync "Then allowing power leveling"

[Zenaku]

This is regarding the new post from "

Alrighty, Yoshida made a large post regarding the new claim system this morning and we've been working on getting you guys the translation - sorry about the delay.

"

It be better if you make a "Level sync" System like FFXI then allowing players to PL to help them catch up to them. This would make players want to party together then just making everyone solo and have a "Powerlevel" with them. Even if you are not force to use a PL. All your linkshell and friend would be doing this because it's the fastest and quickest way to max level. Which then mean it a race to max level and that idea does not bring party play.

What i'm requesting is a "Level sync" like FFXI where a rank 50 would be sync down to your friend level. Which then mean people can look for people at any level above someone to party with them. Rank 20 ---> 25,30,35,36,40,50,45 the rank 50 would be a friend from any of the rank below him just there to help out not really looking for reward. He still can get crystal,shards or item reward drop so he still be getting something out of it.

So please SE reconsider i know this system would take time to add. but it's better and still allow other to party together and help there friend without getting them 1-50 the fastest and quickest way which is power leveling.

Do you really think he's considering a change now after that gigantic post and all the thoughts behind it?

Then you can have a healer that PL you not killing the mob for you and getting you 1-20 within a very short amount of time.

@Alexis_Arteme: let me make it clear it was not to fix it now it for a later date before the PS3 release.

I like to think all game developers think ahead with no exception. If they feel this will work, its because they already now how it will work out around the content they have planned. Large scale PvE battles, PvP and heavily instanced content is in the future of FFXIV.

I have a feeling this will work out great. Of course, this is baseless and blind faith, but hey, they are already set on doing it this way, only thing left is to try it out and provide feedback.

I see what they want to do, I get it -- but honestly, I don't think it is as big a deal as people make it out to be (as usual). I tried this PL trick the other day. I got to about level 15 or so, then it started to taper off. Around level 20 it was more or less gone. Half the people in this game have 50 rank everything because they intentionally failed leves -- why did nobody complain about that "power levelling?"

In essence, if you do it yourself, its fine no matter how shady it is, but if you involve someone else, catastrophic disaster?

Right now, for example, I'm level 42 in archer. I'm desperately trying to get to 45 so I can join my friends in Darkhold before they get bored with it. I WISH I could be power leveled so I can play with my friends. Instead, I'm killing sheep alone. Because nobody really wants go to through that for another, unless it's a real life friend.

Denied.

Like Yoshida said, there is a r50 willing to spend his time killing crap mobs so a r5 friend levels up faster. There's nothing wrong with that.

Short version: If you don't want to power level others or be power leveled by others just don't do it.

They could just make the system that hey now only work for dungeon or that type of event. So then waste hours make the system only work in such content they make it this way.

Why not just add what FFXI had then? You attack Mob A it turn claim by you but your can AOE/Attack any other mob and if killed by you/party member you still get the EXP for all the mobs? That would fix one of the issue that people hate about the game right now.

The other issue about partying you can have level-sync i don't see why people don't agree or people don't care and want max level Asap? if that was true they wont be soloing would they? when partying is the fastest quickest way but now with pl it just making everyone want to have a PL and not even a pl like ffxi. Where you have a healer and they cure you while you fight mobs. In this system i attack 10 mobs my friend come in kill them all and i get all the EXP i don't agree with this.

Maybe i just don't get what people what and i'm living in old school gameplay i'm 20 year old i enjoy wow with friends and like to get fast level but i still find this wrong because at the end i going to be force to do it if not i can't do anything with my linkshell everyone would be doing the event and i still be trying to find people to party when all they be saying "PL do you have it?" so pretty much i be force to solo/have PL.

Level-sync fix the issue and the people that are soloing? just have a PL but a PL that can heal you while you fight the mobs not kill them for you.

But i be force because everyone else be doing it just like i said on the last post. Due to everyone getting max level in a short amount of time and if i do it my way i wont reach them in time to do anything with them and when i do it be to late they be doing other new event that i wont have gear for. Level sync make everyone party together and even allow max level help out there low level friend without getting them max within a few days.


At the end they should really still add level-sync so people can party even if there not in the same level range do you guys at least agree with this? so people don't have to switch to a low level class just to party with a friend. Me and my gf always have to level up new class together when i only want to level up 1.

This way i can still be on my rank 36 and she can be on her level 20 class.
