Endgame Item Level Sync

[Rivest]

Hey guys,

This thread was created to propose an item level sync for certain endgame content.
In my opinion there should be an (optional) item level sync for certain endgame content.

This includes:
The Second Coil of Bahamut (savage) (NOT OPTIONAL)
The Second Coil of Bahamut
The Binding Coil of Bahamut
Extreme Primal Fights
Expert Dungeons (thanks Felis)

Why would you want an item level sync for endgame content?
The item level sync is present to keep the content interesting and not make it a ridiculous cakewalk like the current Binding Coil of Bahamut.

Not having a item level sync for savage would not make sense, since the content was created for the most hardcore raiders anyway.

So what are your thoughts?

EDIT: It seems there is a item level sync in place in the new released patchnotes!

In order to maintain the difficulty of certain duties, item level sync has been applied to the following dungeons:
Category Duty Item Level Sync
Dungeon The Wanderer's Palace 110
Amdapor Keep
Pharos Sirius
Copperbell Mines (Hard)
Haukke Manor (Hard)
The Lost City of Amdapor
Halatali (Hard)
Brayflox's Longstop (Hard)
Hullbreaker Isle
The Tam-Tara Deepcroft (Hard)
The Stone Vigil (Hard)

Well, the point of having something like this would be to make it challenging and fun right? Well they could always introduce a second version of everything with a sync. For people who want to have fun, not mindlessly grind. While still having a normal version where you keep your item level. This way everyone could be happy. I am sure there would be things wrong with this but i mean everything has flaws and someone is always going to have a temper tantrum when it isn't how they want it.

Ilvl sync wont happen with any current or recent content because, what would be the point of gearing up?

They could add ilvl sync to 2.x content when 3.0 comes out, but then 3.0 content wouldn't have ilvl sync.

If an item synch were to happen Make it like one level higher then the minimum unlock requirements >=D!

Absolutely, for Savage Coil. Its entire purpose is to be difficult, so this makes sense indeed. Make it so you don't get Echo in this system, too.

For the rest of the content though, this item level sync needs to be optional. If players are able to outgear the content so much that it makes it a "ridiculous cakewalk," it is a strong indicator that they are attempting no-longer-relevant content. There is no reason no-longer-relevant content should be blocking anyone from progressing to catch up to current end game content with the rest of the player base, in my opinion. Especially new players in the future.

So I'm on board if this is optional! All content should have this. Maybe like a crystal ball at the start of every duty that, once interacted with by all players in the party, enables the item level sync, or something. That way you can do it without having it be an option in Duty Finder (making the list even looooooonger), and without pre-formed parties.

Yes. Let's just add the ilv 80 sync from Frontlines into the entire game, because people LOVE it in Frontlines. /s

The point of gear and vertical progression (which this game is) is it eventually outgear the content. This is the wrong game for this type of thing.

GW2 is over there. ->

No it isnt wrong, it would do the community some good as currently (i dont mind sr) as it would give new players a chance to actually learn the mechanics (ie primals as players just run in and face roll and ignore the mechanics).

I agree, it will make older content more interesting as the current progression just kills old content with every update.
As it currently is, there is no point in running older content since it's too easy.
