I kno people are saying it unbalances things but 20 seems too low it gets boring once you hit max level. I would like the cap to be raised by like 10 or something. Who here agrees?

Plushie Penguin · Oct 13, 2006, 11:08 PM // 23:08

this has been mentioned too many times

there really isn't a level cap, but the max display is 20, after that, every time you fill up the exp bar, you get one skill point
[I would like to see the display raised though

20 seems fine to me; no need to introduce a grind.

Quote:

The level cap of 20 is a fundamental balance mechanism for the Guild Wars series, which offers games that revolve around player skill. The leveling system allows you to track your progress as you start a character. But by Level 20, your character is fully trained and is ready to experience the most exciting content in the game. Additionally, the title system give players something to work for after reaching the level cap.

Seems that Anet's official stance is that if you're bored after 20; go get some titles.

Ergh... "W/Mo lv 20 + 200 LFP!" No thanks.

And OP, search. This has been posted before, and Anet has announced several times the level cap will not be changed. Ever.

when you hit level 30, then what? you are in the exact same place as you are now. Grinding levels is not the point of this game.

Besides, if they raised the level cap by 10, then they would have to go in a rebalance all of Prophecies, Faction and Nightfall. Taking on the "high level" areas when you are 10 levels above where you are supposed to be would make the game very boring.

Dang it for the last time THERE WILL BE NO RAISING OF THE LVL CAP!!!!

ANET said no and we say no so no there will be no raising of lvl cap.

Now I'd repeat the 1000s of reasons people also stated why they don't want the lvl cap raised but I'm too lazy.

I think the serious flaw here is that people automaticly assume that RPG requires level gain, and in actuallity, the levels in this game are nearly insignificant.

This is really a strategy game, the whole point of keeping max level at a easily obtainable peak is to keep the difference in player advantage small. It really isn't about how high the level is, it is about how much of a difference there actually is between the max and minimum. With such a low level cap, the game becomes about how you play your character, what skills, armor, weapons you equip, and how well you coordiante with teammates, not about how much time you spent growing, which in the end is a worthless measure of ability. "Level" is just a measure of time spent, the real talent time should show is gameplay capability learned over time, not heightened power, and that is what makes GW so much BETTER than other online RPGs.

The old school, "grind til your strong" gameplay is crappy, and the sooner game programers realize it sucks and evolve to the next level of character developement, the sooner games will break free of the cacoon and become a much greater experience.

Accessing more "stuff" is great, more things to do, but, if at any point that stuff is as mundain as extra levels, GW needs to stop making chapters and start over on a new title.

/signed on the bottom of quote. well said. hafing a lvl 30 just separates him even farther from the lvl 5-10's. Would also have to rebalance all of the skills, you'd haf more attributes, etc...
