Broadened Difficulty Settings For All Dungeons?

[XStruckX]

Ooh, yeah, I'd love to see not only Level Sync, but Level Caps. Like in XI - low level content remains challenging, and there's actually a reason to hang onto old gear.

OMG PLEASE NO LEVEL SYNC AND ESPECIALLY NO LEVEL CAPS!

Worst thing ever is hanging on to lower level gear cluttering up space so you can do stuff that limits your level. Whats worse is completing it yourself and having friends ask you to help which you respond by saying "Sorry no gear" or having to actually go buy some gear on the fly so you dont look selfish. Level Sync produced bad players in 11. Underskilled and only having killed worms for 30-40 levels.

I for one like it the way it is. There is level 15 dungeon in limsa now that I explored on my 50. Its a nice dungeon with good amount of mobs and decent loot. It even has a cool looking boss type. There is Toto-Rak that also has a good set of loot for low level jobs and it only requires 2 people to go in. You can go in as a 50 and destroy everything and help others get loot.

Then you got Darkhold and Ifrit which is reserved for the higher levels. Like a reward for reaching 50 you get access to more content. Ugh I think I lost my train of thought...

People can hardly kill Dzemael Darkhold's second boss and we're talking about making it harder?

Thats the point of the difficulty settings. if you dont want the loot drops and just have a light party, you can challenge the content at a slightly lower level for fun and XP.

This move will make all content accessable, but if you want the intened loot drops you have to play the dungeon at the intended level or higher.

Where is the "No, don't need it cause I don't suck" option?

Not sure if an option to do all content at all levels is the best way to not negate content. It removes the goal of working towards something when leveling. Sorta like how at launch you could wear endgame gear at rank 1... sorta was seen as a huge negative by the majority because it removed the feeling of progression.

Now a level sync option like in XI where you could level up a say level 40 job when synced to rank 25 or so would be good.

I personally would like to see dungeons having multiple paths in them. Ones with the standard level mobs, a mid level mob path, and a really really hard endgame path. That way say Totorak is valid through out the game but we are not doing the same exact run from rank 20 all the way to 50 of the game.

Tho this does sound awesome, when i look at it as a development and time point of view, it would take soo long to make a dungeon with 3 paths. I'd rather have 3 seperate themed dungeons with customizable difficulty settings than 1 dungeon.

I think its easier to just have settings to customize mob levels similar to the guild leve system.

If it has guild leve settings then it's a guild leve. Is a primal fight a guild leve? Is a instanced raid a guild leve? Would SE have made them guild leves if they had wanted them have guild leve settings?

Where is the post where the guy who is developing moogle is taking to heart how quickly ifrit was beaten...

I dont understand why people act silly when someone tries to use certain things in certain games as an example to make things better to comprehend. Why do people have to act silly, and childish, instead of responding like and adult.

You misread it then, I was acting more like a condescending adult to a child.

SE has already show'd us they have no idea how to make instanced "Dungeons" look at darkhold prolly the worst example of a endgame dungeon or any dungeon every created by any game. the mechanics inside are horrible. (run through mobs stand on void zone despawn all mobs u agro'd *no skill*) while i know it prolly wasnt SE design to have it ran this way, But they could have implemented a few things to make it impossible to do so, or they coulda just gave us boss fights with no trash like ifrit.
So with that said I have no faith SE could do anything of the sort with paths of lvls and stuff.


Engineer how about 3 different themed dungeons that are how about this...... 3 different level ranges? what is with this kick of having everything able on easy mode? are yall serious? you really cant get a group together run soemthign a few times and figure out how you can beat it? Q.Q
DOES NOT MAKE SINCE FROM A PLAYERS POINT OF VIEW OR A DESIGNERS
