The state of old content and ilv sync

[Ayer2015]

Now that we are a two expansions in, its a fair point in time to discuss the horrible state of ilv sync in old content. Currently roulettes are a total bore given how poorly our gear is scaled down. Given roulettes are a core pillar of end game content, this is a problem. Personally I am of the opinion all roulletes should be synced to a true minimum ilv by default in order to retain feel the original experience, and more importantly the fun.

I'm curious how others feel about this situation.

Having recently been graced by the experience of a pre-20 dungeon with 3 even-level people....nope. Killing stuff with the same 2 abilities and taking 5 minutes per fight is not my idea of fun.

now if they could somehow let us keep all our abilities and scale them down properly....maybe.

this is actually impossible if you really think about it. take one job and actually try to do it then compare to a new character in that dungeon for the first time.

It's hard enough to save some dungeons from people who willfully ignore mechanics without ilv sync. The thought of wiping to Liavinne in Tam Tara HM over and over because we scrape the gear requirement and nobody is stacking doesn't fill me with joy here.

Just don't do any AoE attack in that boss fight and everything else should be fine.

make it fun , What I do is pull large packs in leveling dungeons in get out of there in 15 to 20 mins , making it bored is pulling a pac at a time and taken 30 mins

I hope you don't do that in Aurun Vale. I saw enough partys wiping there, because the tank thought he can just run to the first boss on the other side of the room.

I know that, the problem is trying to communicate to someone willfully ignoring party chat...

At least at max ilv I can try and burn her fast enough that it doesn't matter so much.

This is impossible to balance as low lvl dungeons are designed for classes with limited abilities. Keeping all your high lvl abilities even with low lvl stats could very easily trivialise dungeons which would make them even more boring.

Furthermore allowing high lvl classes to keep all their abilities at low lvl would make new players feel their contribution matters little.

Put up partyfinder. Select minimum ilvl, profit

[Paladinleeds]

It would have to be added to the duty by default. And running duties over and over again at minimum ilvl wouldn't be fun. It would just be a dragged out chore for most players.

Just one problem with that...

Applies to all roulettes too

I didn't find any of the dungeons to be particularly difficult when they were initially released. Though they were at least somewhat engaging, compared to now running a leveling or 50/60 roulette.
