mister search button is your friend

just ask him and he will lead you to all the other beaten dead horse threads about this.

NO

all content will be for all the level 20 people not the leveling elite

according to Anet next chapter will be level 20 also

Valefic · Aug 01, 2005, 12:47 AM // 00:47

that would be gay if the next chapter would still be lvl 20 because im alrdy working on 4th char and it gets boring once u beat the game.
and next chapter is not going to b out til next year

Guild Wars, in contrast, is based around your skill as a player. Our maximum level is twenty and you hit that very quickly, after about 20-30 hours of play. ,We call that 'The Point of Ascension'. Almost all of the content in the game and in the future Chapters is only available to Ascended characters, which means we don't have to worry about providing different levels of content. All the good stuff will be available to everyone. It's not our intent to force people onto the levelling up treadmill, so the level cap in Guild Wars is almost meaningless.[/

did you note the future chapters part?

Mandy Memory · Aug 01, 2005, 12:55 AM // 00:55

No...it would not be "gay" if the cap always stays at lvl 20. As a matter of fact it would be quite "hip" or "clutch" or "sweee" or however you say it.

Who wants to grind away? There is always sandpaper and your face for those of you who like grind.

I hate level grind.... always have. I vastly prefer to kind a set of skills that works in any situation and stick with it. That's a lot more fun to me than spending thousands of hours tooling away for no better reason than to get my level higher. I want gameplay, not tedium.

do you mean you get tired of grinding for hours just to get to level xx so you can get from level 3 fireball that kills the enemy in 2-3 hits when you get it all the way to level xxx and get level 5 firefall that kills the enemy in 2-3 hits when you get it?

wonder why

Jeezus, no matter how many times people explain that its not going to change, there's one of these every single day.

Valefic · Aug 01, 2005, 04:10 AM // 04:10

well im not saying i want everybody to go grind it would just be nice to be able to lvl up a little higher or atleast make more skills in upcoming updates.

btw isnt sorrows furnace update this month?

thetrojansheep · Aug 01, 2005, 04:48 AM // 04:48

if they raise the level cap to 30 there will still be complainers..... I'm happy Arena Net doesn't give in; I'd hate to see level 100s owning level 50s in pvp... exactly the thing i wanted to get away from.

crazy diamond · Aug 01, 2005, 05:08 AM // 05:08

Thing is that the way the game is designed, adding more levels would unbalance things pretty badly.

They'd have to rework all the attributes and skills so that they wouldn't be abusive in higher levels.

Mandy Memory · Aug 01, 2005, 05:14 AM // 05:14

They are adding more skills and classes as the game progresses though...

the bloodthirst · Aug 01, 2005, 06:01 AM // 06:01

i dont think we will see the lvl cap go up in the near future. but as with some mmo's the lvl caps tend to raise one way or another. Im not saying it definitely will but there is a small chance. Like i said it wouldnt happen any time soon but, maybe in 2-3 years or longer we MAY see an increase of ten or so lvls. Just to increase competitiveness and allow you to experiment with more attribute points. As for right now there is no need for a lvl increase and there might never be a need but, there is a possibility it could raise at some point in the distant future. One problem with raising the lvl cap is the game design. it would have to change a great deal to raise it.

Ole Man Bourbon · Aug 01, 2005, 10:03 AM // 10:03

Heh heh changing the level cap won't change anything but the length of the grind. GW is nice in that the lvl grind is pretty quick.

Stigmata Arta · Aug 01, 2005, 11:42 AM // 11:42

Level 20 cap is great! I hope they never change it. Its so stupid in other games seeing level 100's in PvP killiing everyone by themselves just because they played it longer than everyone else!

Jaythen Tyradel · Aug 01, 2005, 02:47 PM // 14:47

Raising the Lvl Cap: No thank you.
More quests to add some attribute points? Maybe..would be nice to max out some skills with points left over to make some secondayr skills more worth while, but not sure how it would work for balancing.

Esprit · Aug 01, 2005, 03:01 PM // 15:01

At first I was skeptical on the level cap, but I am more than happy with it. It makes you think tactical and work as a team, rather than being overwhelmingly powerful and just mow enemies over.
