So you are actually more powerful than the zone, with the relative margin decreasing in the higher level areas., e.g. My toon is in a level 2 zone, so I'm at level 3, a 50% margin. If in a level 60 zone, my toon will be at level 61, a 1.6% margin. I think it might work a bit better if they added more than one to the downleveling, but I think the basic idea is sound: I can go to a noob zone and blow up all the things, but it isn't a complete pushover and I'm not one-shotting so they can still give reasonable experience and loot.Dejara Thorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08371345296984972848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-2672068192264978692015-10-09T11:24:37.843-07:002015-10-09T11:24:37.843-07:00That's a good point.

The thing I like most about it is that it doesn't feel redundant to do stuff in lower level areas. If you like one planet more than the others, you can choose to spend some extra time there without shooting yourself in the foot. It's a sort of solution for the lack of alternative planets to level on for alts (there's just one planet per level range available). /fangirl mode disengaged ;)Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-48825146996609695462015-10-07T16:04:22.872-07:002015-10-07T16:04:22.872-07:00Character progress is not quite the same as power ...Character progress is not quite the same as power relative to the zone. Character progression is more objective in my opinion. Today I am level 20, tomorrow level 21.<br /><br />For most level syncing, levelling syncing is a deliberate choice of choosing to be synced. In GW2, though, it sometimes felt like my level was yoyo'ing up and down as I played normally. You travel from point A to point B in the same zone, and your level changes 3 times.<br /><br />It's a bit hard to explain, and I didn't play GW2 that much. This is just some recollections of how launch was.Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-86943339948335501972015-10-06T21:15:14.826-07:002015-10-06T21:15:14.826-07:00Was GW2 too aggressive?

I know every time I went to a zone that I out-levelled, I was still powerful enough to completely trivialize it, even after being scaled.Carson 63000https://www.blogger.com/profile/10900682924502279486noreply@blogger.com
