Please Make Leve-Sync optional

[Seirra_Lanzce]

oh god thats a most horrible thing, that could happen to a rpg...

you want to progress, you want to feel more powerul.. so getting back to a lv 10 zone and kill monsters which have been very dangrous for you when you have been lv 10.


Do you want ever to feel like a adventure beginner, or some day like a hero who got stronger? i dont like it, when mobs level up with you automatically... even in single rpgs..


wasnt it Oblivion or Gothic 3 where the mobs levled with you? it was horrible.. and much disliked from the community. that GW2 does this new, doesnt make it better.

Ehhhh not really, you are still powerfull even thou they did scale you down....

in Gw2, the first map area max level is 4, when i was level 4 is still tough to fight multiple monster at once, but when im high level and my level scale down to 4, i can easily tank multiple monster at once, compare to when im level 4 it self, but it does scale, i do not one shot a monsters *except critters lol* i like it that way.

I think level-sync should be optional. I like the concept of the idea and I wouldn't mind doing all content at the level that it's meant to be done at at least once. As others have pointed out, sometimes I just want to bum rush content on a higher level and I shouldn't be restricted in doing that. I know people in my LS are strongly against forced level capping for content and it would probably be a deal breaker for them even playing ARR.

The gear/ability scaling would have to work well too. I don't want to have to carry 10 sets of equipment around to be able to participate in level capped content like in CoP.

I don't think we have enough information to speculate which way it's going to go yet. All we know is that "there's level sync". Let's wait for Yoshi-P to give us the official word before we bring out the torches and pitchforks.

i play 11 ocasionly and like i have an lv 99 char and one fight have a lv 25 cap and have to ask my ls to do it it wasent a prob and like the bcmm in 11 also had a cap fight and also like matt fights on other jobs even thoe u hade an lv 99 char and it was an lv 75 cap and u had to fight as lv 75 and gear got scaled dwn im shure they have that already firgured out and some areas will be choice and others not the majority wants lv sync so if you hated it in 11 then ull hate it in 14 and if u dont know what it was then maybee u should play a different game and not to metion it 14 does have a lv cap that works differently where a low lv dungeon like totok has a char of 2 or 4 and like on some others on missions and like skirmish lv 45-50 if lower than u cant do it some this is as dumb of a thread as the grass and jumping one in a realm reborn it wont be too easy that all of you complain so much about and yall got what yall wanted and they said nothing about how it will work kind of like how ppl claim well get sommoner and anrarch when it comes out guss what they havent said yet what they going to have out then all the guy said was there will be new classes and jobs as to which ones who knows till then just stop speculateing they will tell us when the game is ready to buy and as far as with the alpha test it is not the end product and can and will change b4 it's release to sit down hold on and sit tight it is what it is and only be finial when they say so and shut down will take as long as they deem it as so it will be longer than a month all so they said if it is possiable to play after last char save on nov 1 u wont be able to save that char file so any thing u get it wont be saved and provinding ppl vote on still playing then

I'm not sure I completely understand the whole level-sync system apart from it allowing you to play with your lower leveled friends. What I'm hoping is that it's as the OP stated, optional. This is so that I can play with lower level players and re-experience the content and enjoy myself. But I also want to be given the option to power through something if I choose to do so, which would mainly be things like farming for items etc.

I personally do not like lvl sync.... will force us to carry lower level gear and mess up our inventory.

Someone needs to go read what they said about level sync again.

Read what, we have no exact details. SE did a poor job with that on XI. So it's normal that some players are worried.

The gear scaling in 11 was atrocious. You lost practically all the extra stats, and any special traits. The DEF value scaled down okay, but overall it meant that you carried around several sets of good gear per 10 levels... If it's anything like how terrible gear is in XIV before reaching "optimal" level then yeah.... you're gonna have a bad time.

[Spuffin]

Wow seriously... They stated ( in the talk show ) that you will be able to level sync with the same gear you currently have on without buyin lower level gear. Get your facts straight before you complain about something.

I'm all for level-sync imo.

[Spuffin]

They also stated ( or hinted ) not yet sure; there will be cross server dungeon finding. You will be able to level sync with your current gear, which will be scalled appropriately, ( and I highly doigh they would mess up twice ) and you won't have to wait hours for a group.

Solutions to OP's concerns~

And? SE stated the very same thing when it was introduced on XI. Sync was supposed to be used with your current gear just "fine" while gear from the proper level would be "better".

At first, before seeing the system in action, we thought "well that's normal that players investing money into low level gear still get some advantage over players who are just syncing". We thought the gap would be like NQ/HQ. +1 stat point or something.

In the end it was more: level sync = enjoy being naked.
