Looking for a group takes along time. this 4.0 also includes: Syncing, Old Companion armor enhancements(Devoted armor gone), Warzones and World Bosses (Syncing makes it so you die). That's what I'm talking about.
May the Force be with you. May the force be with us all.

just because a small group of people can whine very very loudly about an issue doesn't mean that they have any form of valid argument at all.

most complained about new feature, sure
loudest complained about feature, sure
any chance any devs take level sync complaints seriously, .....ZERO


level sync is great for the longevity of areas and the game in general,

if you can't handle getting mob agro in an open world MMO then you just might be the type of person that will complain just for the sake of complaining

Level sync has never been forced in any other MMORPG for a reason. Gearing now is completely obsolete and leveling is way too fast, it's absurd. This feature needs to be optional or even better abandoned.

I don't know the formula but the only stats that appear to be locked by level sync are mastery ,endurance and power. The rest of the stats actually change depending on your gear. Your notation that gearing is obsolete is false.

That being said there was a time when Dungeons weren't instanced . There was time when no one raided in MMOs.
just because something has never been done before doesn't mean it's bad. May be instead of saying Level sync is evil because it is here to say. May be it would be better to tell them what you don't like about it so they may be able to actually address you concerns.

So I guess you are just the best player ever than right? And no one else is allowed to have trouble with the game.


"No you don't. If they hadn't removed H4s, you might have a point."

He has a point anyway because he has a mind, Simple as that.
It doesn't take skill to solo heroics. It takes just hit a same button over and over. If you spam your AOE I am pretty sure you will solo any of the heroics.
While he might have a point doesn't mean it's a valid one or one based in reality. There is a lot very irrational and emotional posting going on which have zero basis in reality of what actually is happening in game. I am pretty sure if I know what is being said is completely false so do the developers and they aren't going to listen.

Things to realize is level sync isn't leaving or going optional. You can keep screaming and whining about it or you can make point the issue in a logical factual way. Then may be those issue might get address. Considering population seems to be up. I am honestly not that worried about the sky is falling approach. I subbing for another 6 months.

Population is always up after an expansion. That is no indicator that the changes are going to keep them around. Personally like about half the community per a poll they have going on this subject, slightly more at the moment want it optional over people who want it to be mandatory.

Any good business listens to its customers. Making it optional gives those who like it the option to keep it for their challenges, the rest of us have the option to keep it off to be the uber characters we spend months making.

Holy overreactions, Batman, people are so salty about this level syncing thing. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I personally think it'd be nice if it were optional, but for God's sake, it's not game-ruining. Does there need to be some balancing? Sure. Big changes like this always need balancing. End-of-chapter bosses being too easy is evidence of that. But if you actually think this will kill the game, or worse, that you're somehow being legitimately oppressed and victimized by something like level sync, you need to take a breath and a step back.

(Seriously. Get over yourself. It's a video game. You're not being discriminated against because you're synced to level 22 on a level 16-20 planet, and it's offensive that you'd say you are.)

I'm now ashamed I ever even posted saying it'd be nice if level sync weren't mandatory.

I encourage players to try it and see what it's like. That's the only way you can truly have a valid opinion about whether or not it's good for the game. More and more people are liking it once they experience it.

You forgot to mention one important part of trying it.

If a player is going to try it, they need to try it with AN OPEN MIND.

I believe that many of those who are still railing against level sync have already made up their minds that they will hate it and NOTHING will get them to even think about giving it a fair chance.

Level sync actually isn't that bad. You may not be a level 65 one-shotting all the level 1s back on the starter world, but you're still powerful enough to hold your own against a huge mob of angry NPCs.
