Level Sync needed ASAP!

Enemy Type
As the variance in strength between enemies has been reduced (see below), enemy type will not influence EXP yield.
* The exception to the above is those enemies deemed extremely weak or strong.

[dev1027] Enemy attributes have been adjusted.
Certain varieties of enemies who were disproportionately strong for their level have been adjusted in order to make an enemy's level a more accurate indication of it's strength. Based on this revision, enemy characteristics such as strong attack or defense will be kept to within the bounds of level.

The difference in mob strength is basically uniform between all mobs. Only difference is abilities used. If you are lv 40 and a lv 40 mob hits you for 150 dmg, all lv 40 mobs will hit you for 150 dmg. You won;t find one that only hits for 75, or one that hits for 300. Unless it's a NM.

"Kept within the bounds of level" does not mean "made identical."

I remember doing Level 20-75 on 2 classes in only Qufim Island in FFXI post level synch because it was optimal sp/hr. Some find this to be positive, some find it negative.

Why? There were TONS of other viable pt area, esp with [s], toau areas, MMM and on and on. I only pt in the dunes 12-19 and qufim 19-26ish max then moved on to higher camps. Not only was exp per hr fantastic in other areas but it helped ur skills from getting gimped. If you stayed in qufim to 75 you really needed to explore more.

lv sync yes, please..

btw when it out please make some merit point or something that who lv 50 can use very hard to get it still ok if that can get just like 1 point per 100000 xp and can use this point to some boost item from craft or gathering or exchange ex-skill that come from merit or .upgrade old skill idon't mind if effect skill very low just better then normal that possible call ppl back to PT low lv with other if it become to merit PT and no one back to help low lv just make it limit point per day -3-b

Because in XI we had this weird practice of putting up a seeking party flag and taking the first invite we got? Hopefully this won't be the case for XIV, though. Like I said earlier, I'm not against Level Sync totally, I just don't think we need it for a long time--let alone ASAP.

english mustnt be ur first language ^^ took me a couple reads to get it, but I did lol

I think a merit system would be good but we most likely will not see this until they cap our lvls as far as they plan too, like 75 in xi. With 1.21 it seems like they are going to be rolling out quite a bit so even tho some of us have all 50s we will still have tons to do. Hopefully this trend will continue from here on out ^^

We wouldnt even bother to invite someone 30+ to a lvl 20 pt and no one ever really did since the answer was 'no thanks' 90% of the time. Maybe its a by server thing but if you were lvl 65 and lvling in qufim u were kindda looked down on as a gimpy noob by the majority. imo the only jobs that had to take what they could get were jobs like pup, cor, blu and thf since ppl generally didnt invite them. Other jobs like brd pld rdm sam and so on you had to hide info or get invites with no flag up so u could be esp picky

Level 20 party, no. But if it was a party on ladybugs/colibri in East Ronfaure [S]? Hell yes, we'd invite everyone up to 74, and sometimes 75. And more often than not, they'd take it. The whole bit about some spots being better than others--no one said that the lowest spots were better than others.

Ok, u never would have gotten a 74-75 in er[s] camps on my server lol, no one after 45 would really take them unless they were helping a friend or desperate lol they would move on to faster higher lvl kill camps so as not to have to go back and skill later. Imps, Colibri, Puks and what not from 40-65. In the high 60s-70s we would be killing beastman and other high lvl mobs in places like Mamook or Mount Zhayolm and exp per hr was always great and by the time we capped exp at 75 our skills were usually capped as well.

must just be a by server thing

I'm shocked Level Sync wasn't made a top priority along with the battle reforms.

For the sake of new players, returning players, and current players with classes below rank 40, get level sync into the game ASAP!

It is so discouraging when someone in LS says "anyone with a level 25-32 want to form a PT?" and all the replies are "sorry, nothing below level 40" "Would love to but everything is at 50"

Allow us to play with our fellow gamers!

I want to invite my friend to join XIV, but I know he'll be largely on his own til he hits level 40, or unless he gets PL's (but that not playing the game).

Level Sync in Ver 2.0 is too late. We needed this YESTERDAY!

I have to agree with the OP. I'm not as determined to have it in the game as he, but I fully understand the good use of level sync for friends and fellow users in FF XIV. It would definitely make getting exp parties even easier with the new search function. Easier and much, much faster for all players.

The reason I really loved level sync was because it allowed my two cousins, who had played FF XI for quite a few years, to party up with me and my friend and allow us to level/skill up without any worry about an exp loss or a loss in challenge.

I started playing FF XI late in the game, 2009, when level sync was already in the game, so I was born into the FF online atmosphere with that attached. The lack of it in XIV over a year ago was a bummer, since me and the same exact cousin who helped me in XI now got left behind due to my progress on XIV. I couldn't really go back and help unless I used a lower job, which I was not interested in doing at the time, more concentrated on getting my lancer to be first to 50.

In today's game, all my war/magic jobs are all 50. So in retrospect, all I can really do now is spiritbond parties with other 50s or PL someone. I'm not upset about it, but it would be nice for players to have the option to level sync down to someone's level, get more exp parties going, and spiritbond at the same time, so it gives you some incentive.

No level sync

We currently don't have many players at the moment which is why it's difficult to find a party. However there is solo content that allows you to level up~ even though it's a bit slower.

You can solo until you find a group using the search function
