Rank cap increase every 1-2 years discussion thread

[Ceons]

Maybe increase cap as see fit but not till like at least every 3 years. Got to give people the chance to fully experience everything. Besides there are so many classes and jobs to level that its not like you will get bored of leveling.

Content would be what we want every... well as soon and often as possible. There is plenty to level, plenty more to level coming and then some. Maybe even limit points type of system to level some more... without going past cap too often.

I liked the fact that FFXI managed to stay such a great game and add several expansions, missions and content that it really was not necessary for people to want to level one class/job beyond the cap. You could always level another job! Leveling never ended... But a little stability level cap wise was comforting.

Though don't forget, alot of the challenge over all, came from level capped missions/quests/bcnms/enms/promys..blahblahblah :P

ehh i think raising the cap every 1-2 years is a sucky idea, but for the opposite reason, its to slow/low the 50 cap feels stifling as it is. there is hardly any gears, and not that much power progresssion so far. i think they probably need to have a cap of at least 60 or 70 before they slow down to the once every 1-2 year plan.

@Op

To me, it isn't really about the gear equipment becoming obsolete as much as it is the endless chase. I would really like to see a game become about more than getting gears and levels.

Other than that small difference of thought, I really agree with your op. Spending time making content to go with the levels and gears already designed, would not only be more efficient than balancing new levels and gear and making new content, it would help keep the game from growing cumbersome with obsolete areas, quests, and whatnot. Often times, such things have to be left in game for the simple reason that pulling them out might cause more trouble in the coding than it's worth.

I played mage jobs. Sea group content was pointless for me, I got everything from soloing.

I think it would be cool if they added something like the relic gear and weapons now for that long term goal to aim for. Then as the cap increased you could use a combination of difficult quests and materia to upgrade that gear so it is no longer out dated and back to being top tier.

These items would have to be super hard to get though so like I said it would be a long term goal but as long as you could make a bit of progress each time you logged in that would be ok. When the cap rises maybe for those lucky enough to have these items the new completion of the new endgame could give the materia needed for the upgrade to the Relic's.

Last I checked, people weren't regularly doing AV.

I'm talking in context to your point that sea and cop dyna wasn't considered worthy of doing. At the time, AVs drops would have made sea a bit more appealing at the least.

Both didn't see "much action" due to many players struggling with the requirements to unlock them.

And with AV not being a 100% pop, and nobody figuring out how to kill him, and taking a month to gather up all the required pop items. Getting Sea and COP Dynamis access was the easy part.
