From Reddit: NO level sync when entering a dungeon with less that required players!

Greetings,

Just for clarification, using this system will not remove the item drops, therefore you can use this feature to obtain minions, equipment for glamour, and the items needed to upgrade Zodiac weapons.

Additionally, there is no item level sync, so you'll be able to enter content at the highest level and item level.

On the other hand, if you are looking for more of a challenge, then you can use another feature which will sync to the lowest level set for that duty.

The development team is looking forward to seeing how everyone will use these new feature to create your own unique challenges and group events. They plan on using what they see as reference for future development.

Awesome, thank you! I know in a certain other MMO with several expansions worth of old content, a favorite pastime of mine was going back through old content for cool armor sets. I appreciate the lack of item level sync. It makes for a non-stressful enjoyable trip down memory lane getting some awesome vanity pieces along the way.

Will sync'ing to the lowest level provide extra rewards (achieves, loot)? I'm having a hard time picturing why anyone would want to do so, unless some incentive is provided.

Probably not. When you have people with complaints about content nerfs and how they appreciate more difficult content, this beats them to any argument.

So let me guess this straight, there is a level sync on all ARR content but no item level sync, or no level sync as well, because... I'd REALLY like to be able to get through t12 so i can finally get to t13...

i've been begging for something like this for so long. This will make leveling the new DPS classes (as well as any alts) so, SOOOOOOOO much more bearable, and hopefully expand the range of party finder groups.

Does that mean CT, Trials, and BCoB will be like this too?

Honestly if this is true I would say you shouldn't need to further nerf Relic content. What made relic content hard for the most part was the level restriction to a majority of the dungeons but by removing that you pretty much remove 90% of what made it tedious, to go through dungeons at a lower level and hoping for x item to drop.

Patch 3.1 and 3.2 will see improvements to the Wolves Den system. First, 3.1 will add matching based on points/rating. But there are bigger plans as well, such as season-based ranking that resets with each major patch. The highest ranked players will get special titles and items. Wants to end up with a similar system to LoL. This would probably be in patch 3.2.

I like the sounds of this! Give PvP'ers some way of showing off their ePeen. I think that will help encourage more of them to come out of the woodwork. I also hope they will do something about the GC restrictions, I think that alone is the biggest downfall to a rather fun PvP experience.
