SE i think its time to raise ilvl Requirements on new content and Enforce it. CoB to.

Talking about this in another thread (about something else) and figured I would start a new one.


I'm seeing a lot of people upset about 2.2 and the way things are going more or less with new gear ilvls and T1-T5 weely cap removal. For one Yoshi said they are removing the weekly cap but he didn't say if there would be a new one. So don't be surprised the next live letter when he says the new lockout is something like 72hrs. I very seriously doubt that they will remove the entire week lockout and let all pre ilvl90 gear become obsolete. Because if they did then players could endlessly spam T1-T5 for gear and never have to do any other content.

So having said that I think that SE should put higher ilvl requirements on future content.

Players will have to spend a little more time gearing a job. But seeing as how each new patch is about every 3 months that is enough time for everyone to gear and do content. Not like it is hard to get a few extra pieces of DL or farm Phil tomes to get a ilvl70 acc item.

Example Crystal tower is ilvl50 means a fresh 50 could basically bypass all Darklight (ilvl70) and jump into ilvl80 (if CT 1 loot a week is removed). To late to raise the ilvl now on CT but that's doesn't mean future content can't have stricter requirements. So if Crystal Tower was ilvl 68-70 to enter all that means is full DL and a ilvl70 Crafted ring.


Future CoB turns 6-9 could be ilvl90 to enter. If anyone says that's impossible your only fooling yourself, A mix of Allagan and Relic and your full ilvl90. Just people will have to in effort but its not hard to do especially seeing as how CoB t1-5 weekly lockout is being lifted or reduced.


Point is Raise ilvl Requirements on all content. It isn't going to hurt the game in fact it might help. And they player base wont be effected by it where they can't do content.

Edit
One place in particular where the ilvl should have been higher is Pharos Sirius. I dread getting PS on Duty Roulette Beat it a few times. But Its almost impossible to do with players at the min ilvl requirement.

Yeah, the ilvl requirements are too low. Practically raising them all by 5-7 would be perfect IMHO.

[Skoltnik]

that's exactly what they will be doing...

[Jilse]

Don't worry about it. There will still be insane ilvl requirements in party finder.

fresh 50 with i50? i dont think so O_o some of the class armor is i45 and you need to go through lengths to get relic so I was stuck at no more than i47-i49 until getting darklight items.
SE and testers would have run and tested this at the level requirement theyve set so if they can do it so can we. just needs patience instead of people wanting an easy ride.

They need to because it should have already been done. But I guess since Crystal Tower wasn't in at launch they could really do it for Coils cause we had 20ilvl gap.

Example Crystal tower is ilvl50 means a fresh 50 could basically bypass all Darklight (ilvl70) and jump into ilvl80 (if CT 1 loot a week is removed).

Only in the first week after reaching level 50. After the week it should be no problem to have 1 CT gear and the remain slots full of DL. In the second week he have 2 CT gear for the main and full DL for a future alt.

Oh, and I hope we get recipes for crafted ilevel 90 gears now ^^

Just went and logged on and yes a fresh level 50 is exactly ilvl50 unless you want to nitpick fresh. All AF gear, Full ilvl49 Accessories including waist, And a level 50 Grand Company Weapon puts you at ilvl50. Also there is some other gear that a fresh 50 could buy to put them over ilvl50 that's isn't ilvl70 gear.
Not sure what you mean about if they can do it so can we? But People need to stop with the mentality of "I want it now".

Make BCoB ilvl 78 min and CT won't be obsolete from the start. 24-48hr loot lockout as well)

[DefendPopPunk]

Bypass darklight? At 200 tomes a run, unless they're incredibly lucky they're gonna get plenty of darklight before they get the 6 i80 pieces in CT.
