PvE item level sync. We gw2 now?

[DrOstler]

What does this mean exactly? Does it mean my blm that can bitch slap titan is going to struggle fighting a sheep?

The item level sync system has been reinstated in PvE encounters

[Musashidon]

no its for dungeons like wp you will sync to ilvl110 if you're higher.

[Delta041]

Kinda wish this were like GW2 and we wouldn't loose all our skills when downscaled. Of course they have a fraction of the skills we do.

Item synch just normalizes your stats to the i110 range, nothing more. Keeps people i120 and above from facerolling dungeons. Though I wish I finished my Zodiac weapon quest before they brought this back.

Ah ok so just dungeons, good. Wish they made this a bit clearer

ya, cause ilv110 ppl aren't facerolling ilv 55 WP, already?
if they wanted to maintain a difficulty, they should have synced it at 60 instead.

it specifically states what dungeons, it affects...

it specifically states what dungeons, it affects...

It specificly states nothing. These are 2 different bulletpoints.

• The item level sync system has been reinstated in PvE encounters. Furthermore, materia bonuses will now be granted to gear whose item level is below the item level sync threshold.

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

Any gear above item level 110 will be subject to item level sync when undertaking the above duties.

* Dungeons introduced in patch 2.4 are not subject to item level sync.

Just treat it as such:

• The item level sync system has been reinstated in PvE encounters. Furthermore, materia bonuses will now be granted to gear whose item level is below the item level sync threshold.

This bullet point indicates what item level sync does, and that it's made for PvE encounters. Materia bonuses are enabled, unlike the PvP item lvel sync. It lists the effects, and only the effects of the sync itself, so take it as the "what is this"

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

Any gear above item level 110 will be subject to item level sync when undertaking the above duties.

* Dungeons introduced in patch 2.4 are not subject to item level sync.

This bullet point indicates the following:
(1) Which dungeons are subject to the item level sync
(2) To what ilvl your equipment will be normalized to if they exceed the item level sync.

Take this point as "what the sync affects" now that it was defined in the previous point.

Open world level syncing wouldn't work for this game anyway. So many zones are split between standard questing level with this big level 50 area nestled in a corner. And then there are hunts to consider.
So yep, dungeons only.
