If that happened to me, mom, I'd be all like "i'm seeking for teleport" ^^

Then promptly shutdown and go hide under the bed.

I just hope I can get rid of all my lvl capped gear. That alone would make my day.

(SE please don't screw up this one )

I HATE being /anon. Of course, its for an entirely different reason. I forget I'm anon. LOL I'll seek and seek and seek and seek and finally someone will msg me and say "you know you're anon right?" Then I'm embarassed and look like a nub, so I just say {No, thanks.} to anon. Now if they put in a feature where if you tried to seek and were anon it would tell you, then I might use it more often. LOL

I do that all the time, I usually run around on my WHM for ease in getting around, so I'm perpetually anon to avoid harassment for tele's and raises. Then I change jobs and forget to turn it off, I've actually had people leave my party because I'm anon. They coulda just, you know, ASKED me about it, but whatever floats their boat.

Maybe allow more specific types of seek would be cool. Like you could seek exp, seek missions, etc...and have the "!" icons color coded for a visual reference. I know how to use the seacom but so many obviously don't/can't/won't.

I think its the cats ass, It is about time SE actually did something like this. I mean in WoW when I first started the high-levels would run me through tough dungeouns, I would get educed XP, but the amount of XP added up faster then if I had done the low level stuff I should have been doing. It was nice because new friends and my rl friends could party with me still.

I can see this being very useful for leveling in social LS's. I can't count how many times Several of the lower levels had complained about not getting parties with us higher levels saying I would love to party with you If I could...

I can also see the usefulness outside of this as well. If say someone dies etc in a zone, you can simply leave the party wait for your level cap to expire, raise them (if appropriate job of course) rejoin party and re-level down. This would save huge on the down time that can plauge lower level parties. (that is unless SE blocks outside help in someway.)

What I am most curious about is the "earning exp at the same rate of the level". I am currently thinking this means if say I am leveling in Korroloka, I can earn the 200exp the same as everyone else. This would be nice for recapping since I hate the meripo scene. I am also curious to know if you are a 75 that becomes level capped if limit points are still attainable, this would be a welcome addition to those jobs who are not often considered merit party material.

As for anon, I used to be a big fan, I am no longer I found it much easier to just say no, its not really that hard (ALT+R "No"). I find it alot more inconvenient remembering to turn anon off. Besides if I do stay it gives me a whole new way of helping people, and since Im merited out have lots of the endgame done I have alot of free time to kill.

Hmm, a couple of thoughts pop into mind:

Firstly that this is totally AWESOME!

Secondly what about the Trial Weapons and other weapons with latents that are broken when you use a WS with them? Will you still be able to break those latents when lvl capped?

If they remove the slow off of Hecatomb armor and reduce the stats, then that's gonna be an interesting piece of gear now :D

Assuming I have a equipment slot that has no important stats in it, I can wear whatever I damn well want to, so long as I can equip it on that job, in order for that ever so important sexy factor.

Oh lordy I hope that this is the end of PL parties, I so want to finish taking my Whm up to 37.

And just in general, seems like a good time to be working on subjobs for a bit. While I am NOT a fan of the dunes at all, I'm looking forward to getting some merits just about anywhere else on my Drg. If that is the case though, I think I'm gonna wrap up sticking 2-3 merits in each category I want to improve. Might as well get those all around merits taken care of for low level partying.

This might be a good time to buy some of that low level gear, I'd be betting alot of people are going to sell theirs, while some gears like the Seer's set might go up in price. Of course depending on how many mages level in the low levels who don't still have their Seer's gear and stuff.

All and all I can't wait to see how this pans out.

Think of it this way Mageo, you can go back to the levels where it was okay for RDMs to melee in parties, and have so much fun fun fun!

Re: New Level Sync Feature to Change the Way You Party! (08/25/2008)

lol im above that, I make it ok to melee in parties. (my gear alone attest to my commitment.) Infact, I get asked to melee in my current meripo style parties, unless of course It is against IMPs. But it would be nice to go back with my full set up (considering even if it is dummed down it has to be better than anything at that level) Heck I wonder if Joyeuse, and Justice's DA will still work at lower levels. From the looks of it some stuff stays and somestuff does not.

Re: New Level Sync Feature to Change the Way You Party! (08/25/2008)

I dunno if it's been brought up in any of the forums (here, BG, Alla, KI, etc), but all the wikis are gonna have a lot of work done on them after the update to reflect all the new stats for every piece of equipment for every level range there's a change in the stats. It'll be interesting to see what the new stats will end up looking like.

Also, this could help me finish off Dancer, on top of being able to take any of my other jobs and go EXP wherever I feel like. I also like not having to carry around level-cap gear for whatever reason, as more than likely, what I normally use in each job will be sufficient enough to be comparable to what's normally available at that level that the difference won't matter.

One thing that I'm seeing on most forums is that people are missing is the point that, more than likely, you'll still need to be of the appropriate level to equip the gear in the first place (that is to say, for example, you still need to be normally lvl 51 to equip an EleStaff before you can take them to Qufim Island or some such). I haven't seen too much of that here, but it was just something I'm noticing elsewhere, and wanted to bring up before that point gets missed here.

Or they could just post the formula for the stat scaling in the Level Sync page.

Re: New Level Sync Feature to Change the Way You Party! (08/25/2008)

I think the post by SE said Items will not be de-equipped based on level range, instead they will be edited as such to be equal to common gear of each level. So thos who fought hard to get say a emp hairpin can not be out done by something such as an Ohat.
