In Case Of A Level Cap Increase...

[Melchiah]

...I sure hope they grandfather in currently-owned gear (at least Legendary and Celestial) by raising it by enough levels to match the cap increase. I've always found the gear level system to be a little silly, so it would really suck if it was used as a means of player NERFing. Nothing's worse than losing hard-earned progress to that kind of thing.

On a related note, maybe special items that can turn regular items into living items would be pretty neat too? I dunno, that idea just popped into my head just now, so whatever.

STFU. They aren't doing a level increase and this just makes people think they are. Wtf would they grandfather in gear? The whole point of a level increase is to make you need to get more gear...

Lol. My name doesn't have a developer tag on it. If someone is dumb enough to read this thread as "OMG LEVEL INCREASE IMMINENT!!!11!1ONE!!!", then that's on them.

Drop rates went to poo when I went from my Mage to my BH (which coincided with the last update, so *shrug*). I'd hate to have to re-gear my Mage at this point, where it's pretty much impossible to find gear that *doesn't* drop my Damage by at least 4% and can't be "fixed" with Reforges due to the 1-slot limit there. And no, at TL87 (let alone TL75+), decent Leg drops are not an unreasonable expectation.

And if that's the only reason for a cap increase, then I'm glad they're not planning on doing one, because that would be a little too close to fun pain = p2w territory for me. The only fair way to do it would be to up at least level 70 Epics/Legs by an amount equal to the cap increase.

Any idea why they didn't just go with a nice round cap like 100 in the first place? I understand that there's already been one cap increase, but I haven't seen anything on the devs' logic behind it or why they originally went with lower caps.

[Melchiah]

Oh, and keep in mind, I just meant in the event of a modest increase like +10 Levels. Obviously a jump from 70 to 100 would make gear grandfathering a bad idea. I'm not crazy or anything.

Every time someone asked your question about a level cap increase many players got nervous, I'm trying to prevent that.
There already were a couple level cap increases.

Level cap increase = quitting.

People don't want to re-farm everything, so they just quit.

Let's hope it doesn't. In case it wasn't clear by now, I wouldn't be in favor of one either.

Lol. Et tú, Humus? :-(

I already tried being all the other flavors. Salty is the only one that no one gets bored with. ;-)
