[dev1079] Optional level Cap for dungeons/raids and possibly other content

[Perrin_Aybarra]

Question. What is to stop a rank 50 from taking his friends through the rank 25 dungeon? I don't want that to happen otherwise everyone would just do that until they got their gear (i.e., /shout for runs through). You should be forced down to level 25 to enter. However I think there should be no lower bound (i.e., can enter at 20, etc).

Exactly why I am pro cap for dungeons. but that is not the opinion of everyone and in order to please everyone I thought of something that would allow for people to faceroll through content with higher level help and getting normal rewards for it and the option to cap the dungeon (so that no one in the group is over the cap) and getting better/improved rewards for doing so.

I like this idea so I liked your post. Maybe you will get a Dev response if you get enough feedback.

well whatever they will have is already made and they are testing it now, so lets just hope for the best i suppose.

though i do like this idea, i think cosmetics for someone that spent a month or 2 doing say cop missions over the dude who rank 50 ran threw it real quick in a few days is a bit on the weak side. i'm thinking more on the lines where we at the least get hq3's for that. or materia that has a depletion rate so they are lost after awhile, like +10stat, or +10block rate materia that will deplete after a few months of having it equipped.


though anything is better then nothing, the real prize is at least having all caped missions and quests. this i'd just love to see anyway.

in reality, there is 3things to do in a mmo, grind levels, endgame and these quests and missions/story. i would like the devs to consider making this challengiing. ...don't count mini games they add cause no one does them and they are never fun for more then 5minutes, the fun part is getting the permits and accomplishing the quests to be able to do those said mini games, then those games die out completely.

I like this idea, with more risk comes greater rewards, or defeat.

I'm all for a "level - sync" option placed on the dungeon run, that would allow the party leader to set it or leave it be. However, once set, there would need to be penalties for turning it off, wouldn't want to run all the way to the boss and turn off the sync/cap.

More options for players the better. And I do think players would run it with the cap/sync set. When better gear, or HQ gear is offered up, acts as a good reward.

Adding a title/achievement, and even some special gear would be a good incentive for those interested to run the dungeon capped.

Well I am happy to see some people having similar opinions and I hope we can get a dev's answer on this issue.

@Weeble, yes I too would rather see capped events rewarded with HQ3 version of gears, but what I listed is just suggestions and I know people get hurt when I mention greater rewards for greater challenges, they think everyone should be handed stuff freely regardless of the challenge. And I mean challenge as in difficulty, not time put in.

as far as answers go i read in another thread from a dev no lvl cap. i didnt see anything about dif rewards or anything.

bumping, would like to get more comments or suggestions and a rep's reply to see what is planned to address this if they planned anything at all.

Helping out with this thread getting some attention

Also, better rewards for a capped run is a great idea. And once the achievement system is implemented, have 2 separate achievements for the dungeons, like if you run it uncapped say "Achievement for [dungeon]" and if you run it capped have "Achievement for [capped level] [dungeon]." And if you run the dungeon with a cap and haven't done it before, you get both achievements at the same time.

Thanks Xeak, bumping again.

Some might argue and whine that those achievements are like WoW, but still I think they should do that. Achievements existed before WoW and they can present it in a more FF way if that is possible lol
