Cap increase in 1.21

[quantumsaint]

Have you seen level 55 quests added in the dats, viion?

Level 55 at 1.21 will be good timing imo.

If 1.21 is slotted for February 2012 then that would keep people busy until 2.0.
Level 55 could come with JSE quests, Level 50 Camps like Blue Fog, Grade 6 trees, fishing and mining points, main story line completion, Garuda fight at Level 55, beast men strongholds, ect ect.

Im all for it. Five levels won't hurt the game.

I'm for 50 cap until 2.0

But I trust Yoshi-P has a good plan for this.

Cap raise to 55 please, I'm sick of being 50...

Cap increase is meh, im only for it as i can go where the hi mobs are more then..

As for Dungeons/Endgame : Why the F'ing hell don't just have mobs @ the level of the players doing it, So old content is still usable content just the rewards are meh compared to higher level new stuff an so on.

I have never understood why devs don't just scale mobs to the players to keep things hard or at least semi hard.
with low level dungeons having a cap so people can get run though if they want too.

Q: Will the level cap be removed before the release of 2.0?
A: This is not planned until patch 1.21. It won’t be good to have a huge gap in players’ level until 2.0 goes live, so we would like to carefully weigh our options.

I fully understand this. And I am fine with no-cap increasing till 2.0.

i think he ment he would rather not increase cap till 2.0. but if they really have to it won't be till after 1.21. 1.23 is after 1.21. i don't expect it any time soon.

but then again i expected con to get blackmage so . . . .

I agree.

My vote is for "No Level Cap Increase until 2.0" also.

If you think about it, Square is struggling to barely get us meaningful content for our current Rank 50 (we have Dzemael Darkhold, an Ifrit Battle, and Beastmen Strongholds).

Rushing to raise the Level Cap to, say, Rank 60 with not enough content for Rank 50's, let alone creating a bunch of new meaningful content for Rank 60 is a bit hasty.

Yoshida-san has said he felt there should've be a few Raid / Dungeons for R50 (not just 1) and that the current situation (just 1 Dzemael) is them creating what they can from a starting point with no Raids at all.

Personally, I'd favor a cap increase, even now. Too much of the world is walled off by high-level monsters and many players already have multiple classes at 50. Plus if they added a steep xp curve from 50-60 it would silence all those people wanting a xp nerf. Raising the cap raises the amount of available camps, as well. Then we might get some use out of some of the unused nodes we have right now.

They are strugging for content because everyone is already at cap. Increasing the lvl cap will give everyone with lots of classes at cap things to do and with 50-51 being 110k TNL its gonna be a while.

I say its actually a great time to rasie the cap 10 lvls when they add jobs.
