Level Sync Confirmed

[FireBud]

Great news for old and new players, means the mentor system that's coming into play with 2.0 has even more meaning to it.

I was wondering for a long while how we older players would help those starting over or coming into the game anew, thankfully this puts those concerns at ease and hopefully steps over some of those that would rather milk them for everything they can muster while leveling up (which will happen a lot anyway) to increase them our pockets.

I get to play with my friends when they get the game that's great.

So level sync + summoner = astral burn?

Please, dear God, no.

I would very much like level sync to be implemented, so much more fun playing with friends when you are all around the same level, and can enjoy content at the level it is intended for.

I like the idea of level sync, just not how easy it is to gain experience and not have to fight higher lvl mobs. There should be like a 1% decrease in exp gain per level, so if you are 20 levels higher than your friends, you are only earning about 80% exp, which isn't such a harsh punishment, but punishment enough where you should feel a desire to fight higher level mobs, or slow down your progression enough to get your friends around your own level.

I found Level Sync to be one of the best additions to XI ever. Absolute freedom to play with all your friends, new players and old.

My only hope is that ARR is as party-organized as XI was. Because, what good is Level Sync when currently most players solo leve's till 40?

As much as I loved the idea of being this solitary THM hermit, I got kinda bummed playing GLA or MRD and not having anyone to protect. Likewise, a CNJ with nobody to heal would seem lonely. Solo tank/healer/buffer feels like a lot of wasted talent. Level Sync will help people flesh out their class identities better in this regard, as well as teach them party play earlier on. DD seems fine solo (I am reminded of Sabin in FFVI before the party meets him), as learning how not to take hate and maneuver around the tank's monster is all they'd need to learn.

I like the idea of level-syncing, high-level players can help their low-level friends w/o interrupting their exp-gain. I just feel there's nothing to gain as a high-lvl tho because of the level cap. We cant obtain attributes either or customize our abilities.
Well, baby-steps...

You still get XP if you're higher level and not at level cap (such a thing exists!) and most likely spiritbond. I need more excuses to SB so helping people level up at the same time would be fine.

they should level sync us to the area were in if im in a lv1-10 area my level should drop to lv10, and nothing will go to waste either.
if its the same as ffxi that would kinda suck since you have to keep getting lower level people to sync to.
