I for one am pretty okay with the level caps thus far. For all my complaining about the cap being raised so quickly from 10 to 20, I’m at the same time grateful for the caps so I don’t fall behind and that it rose to 20 (Wartorn Valley was NOT fun for questing at level 6); I’ve just being doing classic quests like Nodda, Bobic, Living Cyber Armor in addition for the occasional credit crunch, and I only dinged TL2 last night. Feels less like being a hamster in a wheel and like I’m getting somewhere.
Did anyone happen to record the raid and post it online? I’d like to watch the zerg!
I am still trying to get in to play… Don’t blow us out of the fun times with pushing the expansions too quickly… god at this rate I am gonna be sooo far behind…
Just to be clear, I love the level locking and in general am not able to play as much as I did this weekend. So while I may be ready for the next level cap due to an abnormal amount of time to play, I recognize that not everyone will not share the same opinion. I primarily wanted to make a thread though that discussed progression because FC had stated that they would cater to our opinion, but never gave us an avenue to do so. I figured this would be as good a spot as any.
Well, there has to be a balance between the people with 17 years of experience playing 12 hours a day grinding everything out as efficiently as possible and the people who can only put in a few hours a day and/or are relearning everything. You can’t expect every decision to cater to you and you alone.
Some people are having fun twinking ql50 implants in or doing raids of dungeon bosses. Others seem happy blitzing for creds. Others have alts to see to. Others are doing the missions. Others got bored already and seem to think that the old server isn’t boring. Others are waiting for FC’s account page to work. I’m enjoying the economy and trading and people doing tradeskills again, while it lasts.
It was the weekend. It’ll probably go up again early this week when people are actually at work at FC. Calm your jets.
In no way did I state in any form or fashion that i wanted FC to cater to me specifically and I take offense to the presumption that I did. What I said was there was currently no thread or avenue to discuss the progression of the server based off of the communities opinion. I am more than fine to take a backseat if the will of the community is that of a dissenting view. BUT we will never know the opinion of the community if the dialogue never starts of if there is never a place to discuss it.
People are just being silly/passionate lol.
I 100% disagree with you and take no offense that you disagree, this isn’t a right or wrong situation, its 100% our opinons.
Personally I would have loved much slower caps, I hoped the level 10 cap would have gone through the weekend and am hoping for at least a week with a level 20 cap.
I know they won’t do this with this server because its going all the way eventually but I would be really interested in a server with a level 100 perma cap and RK only but eventually with +AI+LE but no shadowlands just for perks, a GMI, etc. i bet the crazyist people could do ALL the content with level 100 cap.
I do agree on the level caps…
However, I strongly agree that the pace of raising these caps is waaaaay too slow…
I think the level caps at the moment will let you level up and twink no matter how much you play, and thats where it grinds my gears…
Saying that “I cant play except a couple of hours a week”, is a weak argument, and its basicly saying “I cant enjoy this at your pace, so I think you should be forced to enjoy it at mine”.
The alpha-players will get ahead of the pack sooner or later, and if the majority wants everything to be so slow, then you should not be worried about being left behind alone.
We are all paying customers, and while some enjoy this, I dont think “raiding aztur” is content…
Edit: I was sitting on discord with my mates yesterday, and out of the four of us, only two logged in at all, and the others could not see any reason untill the cap was being raised.
So if you guys are having fun, thats great, but you should know that you’ll be lonely no matter what if FC dont raise the cap substantially.
This argument cuts both ways, as it can be said for those on either side of the fence.
Just to state my position then: I believe everyone should have the ability to state that they are either ready or not ready for the level cap, but there is no objectively right or wrong pace for this to occur at. If you are ready to raise it, go ahead and state that (as the OP @Ownsauce did nicely), but don’t claim that failure to raise the cap based on your personal preference is “wrong”.
I’m hoping FC will look at data beyond what we have available to us (such as when players stop logging in etc.) to set the pace at an appropriate level.
/me crosses fingers.
If they wait until players stop logging in, it’s already too late. I will be logging in just to farm creds and stuff, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want the next level cap increase to happen.
I think level caps made sense at the very beginning in order to let people sort out their names, set up orgs, bots etc. But right now it’d make sense to simply drop the level caps (or at the very least increase the level cap significantly). Everyone should be allowed to play the content at their own pace, the community will disperse as the time progresses no matter what anyway. If someone joins the server couple weeks from now he/she’ll be far behind even the most casual player who’s started playing on the server from the day 1 anyway.
I think level caps should be something the average player does not notice.
The fact that you guys think that you will enjoy the content so much more just because I’m there with you is factually incorrect.
Also, stating that my point of view is wrong based on not having talked to anyone is also factually incorrect.
I dont know you or how you like to play the game, but the guys I play with all agree that the level cap is nothing but a tedious, invisible wall, put up to do nothing more than make everything slower.
We might consume content faster than most, but we are definately not alone, and all we talk about is “oh, I cant wait untill the level cap is raised and we can do this and that”.
Again, I dont claim to know what most people want, but I’m sure that this is way too slow.
Just give us Research and AI levels, so we can progress on them and the comunity still has the same “level” 
Just give us a higher level cap…
This is borderline sadistic!
https://youtu.be/pM1BLjGKzgk Thats the first one, we uploaded the second one we did there as well.
I’m happy with +10 levels a week (must be fridays). NW at L100. SL @ 150. AI @ 200. 1 month gap then LE. 1 month gap to Xan.
That covers the first 6-7 months, then 5-6 months of mayhem.
I know a lot won’t agree with me, but this is just my opinion/feelings about the ‘progression’ server
