Level Cap Raise

Pylon · 01-26-2007, 08:59 PM

Anyone think SOE will be raising the cap from 70 to 80 anytime soon? I really can't see them doing it, simply because they would be trivializing 2 expansions. As it stands now, any T6 raid zone can be half-assed with enough level 70s, I find it hard to believe that SOE would want mobs like Matron and the Avatars to become blue and be half-assable.

Whats everyones thoughts on this?

I think it depends on how you define "soon". I remember hearing talk that the original design was planned up to level 100. I think it's a real possiblity for the next expansion, but that's probably going to be a minimum of six months if not a year.

Just seems to make more sense to me by not increasing level cap, but just adding more and more content for everything, not just raiding. All max level does is almost completly negate the previous tier, which doesn't add much to progression other then mindlessly grinding for hours. As far as progression would go, I'd hope they'll keep it so you need to farm KoS zones to do the EoF zones, and you need to farm the EoF zones to be able to stand a chance against the new content and so on.

I though it was suposed to go to 200.

i know resists, skills , mitigation , avoidence etc was scaled to 150 right now .

and revive sickness says effects characters levels 6-200.

idk, dont think anyone knows what soe's plans are . i could be wrong

Could very well have been; I wasn't in Beta and heard a couple of different numbers over the last couple years.

I think you're right about not knowing SoE's plans. If you've been in the game since launch you can see that the game's development plan has changed as the game matured. (That's neither good nor bad, really. The best laid plans always change, lol.)

SOE doesn't even know SOE's plans...kinda scary to think about, lol

You want to destroy this game? Raise the level cap one more time.

Agreed, going from 70-80 would be totally fucking pointless.
