Essence_of_Light Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) I'm afraid you'll be disappointed then, It is already confirmed we're getting a level cap increase in the expansion.

AlienEyeTX Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Adding levels should mean adding solo story (of some sort), so I'm all for it. Been a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOHboy Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 well no new gear and no new skills otherwise. Also no chance to 'reset' the imbalances between classes, skills, and content. so level cap raised is a good thing, otherwise its just stagnant and not giving any sort of "growth" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plethora of dbl xp events they'll put to catch up... Just lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValeGreiger Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Sometimes, part of changes is growth. In mmorpg gaming, levels are part of that growth. If you don't add a component like leveling, there's not much to aspire to if you have acquired everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadOrb Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Well think of me with 16 characters to level , when the cap goes up , my friends are already preparing to laugh at me and imagine if the cap goes up to 65 lol. That's 160 levels to level , ugh. Truth be told though I want to the cap to go up 10 levels , not for me as stated above but for the people who want it. Cheers, BadOrb.

Arkerus Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 There are very good reasons a new level cap is added into the game. The most important is that without a new level cap, gear progression at level 55 would become absurd. A fresh 55 would be so underpowered because dozens of gear sets would have been released. They would be forced to slog through multiple operations, with varying difficulties to even begin to catch up. A gear reset (or new level cap) is necessary in a vertical progression based game. Each level cap can only support 3-4 levels of new gear before a new level cap is needed. Note: This applies to equipment based games, not horizontal based games.

It would be impressive if they gave us enough content to warrant 10 new levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drockter Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 It would be impressive if they gave us enough content to warrant 10 new levels. This is my fear... a level increase with no meaningful content to challenge the now more powerful player. I mentioned in another post that Level increases without corresponding level appropriate content would take any semblance of difficulty out of this game. Now that may be fine for some, but not for me. I like the challenge, I like to have to work towards beating something. Would the current "end-game" ops (Lvl 55's) become as easy for the new Lvl 60-65 to run, as it is for a geared 55 to run the Classic Ops today?). There isn't a significant challenge to Lvl 55's outside of Ops or PvP as it stands today. The difficulty of the Tactical FP's are a joke for a 55 (Rakata is a perfect example). Increasing the level cap without providing a challenge that requires the new level cap is really a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raansu Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I fully disagree. Leveling is fun, and I am looking forward to leveling my characters once again. Then make an alt. Increasing the level cap is lazy and terribly by design. MMO's need to learn to do horizontal progression and stop with the garbage "reset" by raising the level cap unnecessarily.

BadOrb Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 It would be impressive if they gave us enough content to warrant 10 new levels. I must admit you are correct here. I guess it all depends when that other dev team started the expansion and how big the team is. Two Makeb sized planets worth would be cool. I guess it wont be a free expansion though , even if it's 5 levels. Cheers, BadOrb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more alts for moi that's for sure , in fact no more lots of characters in MMO's for me full stop. 3-8 characters is enough for anyone's sanity. Hence my 16 characters has made me a little loopy .

I'm not getting my hopes up quite that high, but would be very happy if it happened. You know, so long as they also provided new Ops, FPs, and WZs. Basically, I want more of everything.

EpickFaill Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Think of the ones who did all the content and stories(yes i did them all and the empire ones even 2 times each),while leveling is fun and all a new level cap would bring new gear,abilities planets/reputation/dailies and at last but not least new end game content.

BrianDavion Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 yes.... and all the gear we painfully looted from nim bosses is worse than random things dropping from a weak mob...

AlienEyeTX Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Oh yes, I'm looking forward to torture my 11 PVP Toons by 5 Level PVE. NOT. You could always just PvP up to the new cap. If you don't like PvE, why bother? Or, as I like to do, just level up and walk through that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
