High levels should be scaled back to aproprite lvl when doing dungeons

[Gershwin]

High level characters should be scaled back when doing low level dungeons. 

 

Just to make it fair for normal level characters.  And the dungeon slightly more challenging,  rather than a massacre.

 

[LazyFox]

Yeah, too bad the NCSoft in Korea won't approve that.

[MuadDib]

Which requires major changes to the underlying game, ain't happening.

[Ambition]

i only see pros 0 cons so no :) would be kinda gay if you are lvl 45 maxed out gear and you get scaled back and struggle with lvl 35 mobs, then whats the point..

[Meiling]

No thank you, I rather be 45 in the dung and solo it so I can farm an outfit.

[DrakeHaruno]

i agree because people complain a lot when you " leech " so they should scale high levels back so fighting can be even not a blood bath just so they can abuse there OP gear and power

Or you can let the dungeon run faster for higher levels that are running it for the 40th time, be it for materials or cosmetics.

 

Or be happy if a high level joins when you have a bunch of people 10 levels below the dungeon level so you can still run it in the first place.

 

Or run the dungeon solo if challenge is all you are after.

they can still run it for mats and cosmetics ,  however at the appropriate lvl

 

They hve made it so high levels need to run low level dungeons, so regardless of there lvl they would need to run it.

 

Dungeons are meant for grp play not solo.  FFxiv do this scaling system and it wrks fine.

 

AS someone said  there would hve to be massive changes to the code.  So its just a whinging thread lol,  maybe future content could hve a scale

system.

Explain the achievement for beating tomb solo then.

 

Along with this, we also have titles for beating blackram narrows' boss in seconds, same with tomb of exiles.

[Sylvaeril]

The issue is primarily mechanical. If they are 45, and you are 35, they have 10 more focus points to spend than you, would they keep those talents? Would their weapons and accessories be scaled back, and if so how far? What soul shield would they have equipped, or would they need to keep a lvl appropriate one?

 

See the problem? The stats are 90% equipment in this game, and just scaling it back isnt as easy as it sounds. 

[Gershwin]

Fair enough,  I am happy that I am playing the game now rather than later as I am mostly dungeoning with toons my level.

[pinkpiggy]

um.... no?

FF14 ARR done this because the high levels will not waste time running low level dungeons, and low level cannot get enough players together to form a 4 man party because of its 1T/1H/2DPS crap. So, FF14 gaves high level players tokens they can use to exchange for gear to run those low level dungeons.

 

In this game however, most normal dungeons can be solo, 1 star a good PO class or a few level above, and only the purple 3 star 6 man needs 5-6 people. When the real L50+HM endgame dungeons gets released in NA, that is when we will have issues with crappy L50 players that are under-geared.

 

On Feb 10, Mushin Tower will be a good introduction. Warning: lots of L45s will be in tears.

Not to mention how to you scale back the skill points? No, I do not want to lose that skill, I need this skill, etc, etc.

I dont think it will happen either but this is an awful argument to make alone

Exactly, which ones would it scale back? And what about achievements you got after that level that give stat boosts? Too many questions. This game is not easily scaled back. Which is good, it allows more complexity and depth when it doesnt have to be adjustable.

[DrakeHaruno]

im guessing he is talking about scaling your attack power back to a Lv35 or whatever level dungeon they do

[Marqin]

Maybe:

1) If player is solo - don't scale.

2) If player is in party - scale.

? :D

 

So you can farm items and you can have challenge.

[Roda]

It should scale you if you zone in via f8.

Otherwise, let me feel op. :P
