Is it time to increase level cap?

WreakerOfClash

I want honest opinions. I have been playing the game for a year now, and the cap has been 85, and I'm now 83. Over half the community I believe is at 85, but I don't know if when or if we even need a level cap increase soon. Thoughts?

Please explain, not just spit out your point of view over and over without elaboration.

Almost a year and not 85? Wow...
For me, i dont want an increase of lv cap yet... If its hard to get some toons to lv 85 because of credits... Just imagine all the credits that it will cost to lv them up to 90 or 95... No thanks

rockstarjay

It's the higher gear levels that concern me. So no.

I did take a 3-5 month break from the game, coming back for the ships, soo...

Yeah the gear crunch is killing me lol

No...
I remember the last cap increase, all I could do was work on my five area characters.

It's nice now to work on other characters and try them out in GW, Raids & arena, it's making things more diverse.

So again, no, on the cap increase.

Yeah I guess. And congrats on 1000 posts dude!

In response to my eariler thread, I wanna know when people think we should expect a level cap. In all legitimacy, I feel CG and EA will add one either in August or October.

Been 85 for over 8 months and when i tell you ive missed out on more XP then you have ever gotten its no joke. People dont want a level cap raise just because of the increase in grind its going to bring.

Credits
Gear
Mods
Leveling toons
Oh and ALL the XP ive missed out on for being level 85 for so long.

If there is a level cap raise i hope we get rollover XP for those that have been 85 for a long time too.

You wanted an honest opinion, not an elaboration of said opinion.

And my opinion is god **** **** it no.

Okay, now I am asking for an elaboration. Stop freaking out about it dude.

Oh!!! Well thanks! Didn't know I was @1000! (1001 now I suppose.)

The only people who want a level cap increases are noobs, and people with a collection score of like 80+

Even with my mid game 30+ G11 characters working on Zeta 7, I don't want a level increase.

And I quit for 6 months.

It's too much work to work on level increases as it makes you stop all progress to play catch up. It should happen, but things must be alleviated to fix a bunch of issues stemming from the grind of the game. If it continues to get exponentially worse, it's not worth it.

USAmazing

I expect you might be right about that...

Although, I would still like another 6 months or a year is fine with me.

+1 moreover, I can't see the reason for a lvl cap. On my shard Zader, Rex, GK, Wedge, ZQGJ, DN and even some Zauls can achieve the first stop (2015 shard), so a lvl cap would not balance the game. So, what is the reason for a lvl cap? I can only see spending credits and more gearing grind.

Ps: I can't remember of any measure taken on the lvl cap increase from 80 to 85 that could solve the gear grind (we live this difficulty to gear characters until today).

Ps2: f2p player. If you (not you, but who is in favor lol) are a whale or any other kind of player I would understand why you want a lvl cap.

Boba_The_Fetter

Yeah definitely time for a level cap increase, this is the longest they've gone without one

Moicaliss

I'm all for a level increase. Sometimes it's a good way to solve some brokens thing without nerfing them

So, you are considering that the people did agree with the lvl cap, creating a new post about when it should be lol... Considering that the lvl cap is unavoidable, I would give 3 months until it.

TyGonJinn27

I've been ready for a level increase since February. Collection score is around 85. I have max gear for all of the toons that I use in raids, GW, arena, etc. The game is getting very boring due to the lack of new content.

I'm now hoarding all of my gear, and I'm hoping the Ewok faction pass is a good one. I'd love to max them out, and attempt to make them high-end arena viable.

No not at all, I'm saying when can we expect one. That's what my title should've been. Sorry bout that.

MasterMasterTimelord

Ps: I'm months on lvl 85, so I am not against that only for my interests, but because I think that it could increase the gap. (on my opinion the gap between f2p and p2p have decreased since last year).

I don't want another level of completely meaningless widgets to grind. That just makes people less likely to experiment in arena. I won't take a chance on a theory crafted team that isn't proven if I'm risking throwing months of gear away. Rex is declining, and others are rising. We don't want to ruin that by causing everyone to double down on a safe team out of fear.

We just need more faction passes to give us incentive to gear existing toons that are currently bad. We also need more content that requires a broad roster, which also encourages us to grind more current gear. Fortunately for us we have been promised both. More faction passes are on the way, and new content is being rolled out. I'm optimistic that we're going in the right direction. A new layer of nonsense gizmos would be a nightmare right now. It would totally ruin all of that.

JohnnySteelAlpha

I don't see the point really - they said gear 12 wasn't anytime soon. If we can't go past gear 11 and there's no more new "zetas" being added that would be available at >85 I don't see why they'd bother. We'd just blow some credits and that's about it.

Bennehftw

I'd be okay with January of next year for a level cap increase.

Maybe November at the earliest.

SolidStripes

Collection score of ~83 here. NOOOOOOOO! In a james earl jones voice. Getting my aaass handed to me in arena and gw. So not yet, I'm not ready lol

JacenRoe

I would say it depends on the new content. If this new game mode allows us to get very generous amounts of currently hard to get gear, then I would expect one sooner. If rewards are more modest, then I'd expect it to be further away.

Edit: This comment was for the other thread that got merged here about when a cap increase will come. I am in no way hoping it comes soon, but the above will be my barometer.

I agree with you
