Thread: Will 8.0 Expansion Cap @ L55 ?

Really don't think we need to change levels.

Yoshi p also talked about a different type of progression system I much rather that then halfing the levels as it feels like we're just reverting back in power.

Also no it would not solve level scaling issues thats a entirely different issue.

What's the point? Why does it matter if it's 110 or 55 or 220 or 440?

You should be asking the question of will 8.0 simplify onboarding process for a new player. Because you know, it doesn't matter which level you will have by the end of the game if most of the players will simply never even get anywhere close to it.

Yes but when is too far?

Starting this game at L1 and hearing you have to go to L110 sounds painful as sin. It doesn't attract new players if the mountain is too big to see over.

What we need is fresh blood. That's the only way this game stays alive.

Maybe some players, but probably not the type to stick with an MMO long-term anyway. I for one would see it as something to look forward to, and something which is guaranteed to occupy my off time for a good long while. Daunting, perhaps, from some perspectives, but certainly not painful.

The mountain that has caused new sprouts to quit or flat out not be interested is the MSQ requirement bloat.. Doing 300 or sometimes with some people 600 hours+ of MSQ from ARR to DT currently is a mountain of a task..

They need to stop locking content behind MSQ and make story optional at this point, some people prefer to stick to gathering and crafting and THAT with some systems are locked heavily behind MSQ grind.

Every single person I got into the game so far has bought the MSQ skip which I think is what SQE wants anyway cause ye more money.. Create the problem, sell the solution. Most of them as well bought a job skip too so they could play their intended job they wanted to play when looking into the game. 8 out of 12 are still playing but the rest quit once they saw the MSQ grinds after DT story and the blue quest chain grinds for further systems to be unlocked. Boo hoo I know grind is grind but alot of FF14 quests are tedious messes now after they passed on being old content.

ARR 2.0 wont fix anything if it is done.. All it will do is cause HW/SB 2.0's to be asked for next.

Level squish is unnecessary and would mess up so much existing information about the game. The same effect can be gained by adjusting how much EXP we earn per activity relative to how much we need to level up.

A stat squish would be more beneficial and less noticable, and possibly reducing the ilevel of gear - still a bit messy, but less conspicuous than level.
