Upscaleing.

[TakoyakiLala]

If they're lazy, then it'll feel unbalanced. I think if they're smart with restricting maximum potencies (see my earlier comment), then there's a world where synced players are not enormously more powerful. They could also easily reduce the difference between "average item level" and "item level cap" for each duty because, as it stands, that gap is huge. Just look at the Crystal Tower raids. You don't even see mechanics anymore because of how many item levels OVER the requirement you get to be.

Ze Quote:

A system of traits that caps your potencies when you sync every 10 levels I think would be the way it has to be done in this game.

For example, at Lv70, PLD has the Holy Spirit combo through Requiescat at 600 potency each. If you want to use the whole Confiteor combo at that level, you'd need a trait to cap that combo at 600 potency. Atonement combo on the other hand could be capped at ~260, a rough average of your 1-2-3 combo.

That's the kind of trait finessing I think you'd need to use to make this work.

EDIT: Also, it's been discussed to death because the higher the level cap gets, the worse the level sync experience feels.

My dumb Lala brain didn't quite understand the example in your older post, but I get the jist of what you were saying through the beginning of it and pretty much everything you say in your latest one. I really like the idea, because I WANT to enjoy older content as close to as humanly possible as to how it was when it was first released.

This is pretty much, as far as I can tell exactly what the dev team should do to keep older content fresh, alive and enjoyable for all without having the need to limit higher level player's job kits. :3
