Myth Caps

[Lurkios]

I feel that this particular dead horse hasn't quite got the beating it deserves.

The myth cap was poorly thought out and poorly implemented. There is no reason for it, content is the current cap. There's nowhere to go after coil, and once your turns are up, due to the cap there's nothing you can really do to progress.

Of course you could always:
Work on a crafting/gathering skill: But some of us are just in it for the combat, and that's fine too.
Level another class: aka: Fate grind to 50 over the course of a week or two, throw on the darklight you probably already have and... oh... right..., need myth...

The ideal/correct solution would be to drop the cap entirely. Again, it's pointless. However, if SE feels the need to artificially delay progress, I would suggest it work more like the levequests. Allow me to get 300 myth this week, and if I only manage 275 let me make up the difference next week - up to the maximum 2000. So if I don't play for 7 weeks, I should be able to grind out 2000 myth if I choose to do so. At least then I'm not being punished for going on vacation.

It was well thought out - Sorry you can't get some of the best gear the second you hit 50.

They said they will not drop it nor is it the correct solution just because you want some of the best gear the second you hit 50. They're raising the cap to 450/week, that's an accessory a week or a piece every 2 weeks. ARR is easy mode, yes, but they do need to keep people around with a lack of content.

So if I don't play for 7 weeks, I should be able to grind out 2000 myth if I choose to do so. At least then I'm not being punished for going on vacation.

MMOs normally don't and shouldn't reward people for not playing lol.

I don't think you've read. It has been addressed STOP.

Oh, has it? That's odd, my screen still shows 300. Mind screenshotting yours?

An MMO without a dangling carrot is a dead MMO.

Agreed, however, the dangling carrot should be progression achieved through skill (or in same cases luck) - as it stands that's Titan HM for a lot of folks. An artifical cap that no amount of skill or effort will get you around is not the way to go about it.

You must not follow the forums much.

It was addressed as in "the issue was discussed by development and they reached a decision", not as "they are doing what you want". <.<

Once cap is 400, that is a great number to cap it at for the next year imo.

i am in favor of the proposed cap for 2.1

Tupsi pretty much nailed it. We can move on from this thread.

Or, you can go on vacation and forget about the game because vacation should be more important. If you plan your vacations around your myth cap then something's wrong.
