(Suggestion) Level Sync

[SydeBeheln]

Can you please explain what Level Sync is? For those of us who did not play FFXI or just despised it don't have any idea what it is, so please help us out.

It would lower your rank to meet the level of someone who was a lower rank than you. That way you could still party and quest and what not, with friends and others who were too low for your rank.


I could have swore they said the sp/xp system was built so you didn't need a level sync system.. but it would appear that was not true.. lol

It was true to an extent... XIV has a much more lenient policy on level gaps. Its a small thing but it goes a long way i think.

hmm i think level sync would be cool, because sometimes you want to play your main job, and your friends are lower level, but it did have disadvantages, like leveling from 1-75 in the same zone...

Far as not needing level sync, i think they said that before they wanted to add levels to the game. Initially they supposedly wanted to make a game with no leveling! and people revolted.
It would have been interesting to see that model, i imagine you would just get skills, and use equipment to raise stats.

Ya, the issue of leveling in the same zone could be an issue, but from what I found is that as you level you naturally want to go to new zones, and fight new mobs. The nice positive piece was it helped you find parties much faster as everyone would level sync and so you wouldn't worry about trying to find players who were within a certain level range.

But your right, if everyone was all syncing in the starting areas, that would get to be very annoying, but it would add more reply to those starting leves
