PSU's Max lv?

[Nayla]

I apologize if this has been answered before, but I'm wondering if anyone knows what the max online lv wil be. I know offline it's 100, but many things are different between off and online. Since we're now doing S-rank missions, and S-rank weps are just around the corner, it seems like around lv 50-60 is a bit low. If S-rank = Ultimate, I don't see how we can have enough content to get to 200.

Does anyone else share these concerns/have answers?

[FlakariLeader]

SS Rank missions are coming out in JP version. No one knows what the max level will be, be patient.

[Nayla]

o.O That sounds good... Where has this been confirmed?

[AlieNxxxxxxxx]

Well people have been saying it for about 2 weeks... And it is on the front page of http://www.pso-world.com maybe you should read more.

[Genji]

The announcement on the japanese site is here (http://phantasystaruniverse.jp/news/wis/?mode=view&id=201#reg)

Horribly translated via Babelfish:


Addition of the S2 ranking mission

it hits to for the high level person who aims at the further high looking on, higher rank of "S ranking" "S2 ranking" is added.

[Nayla]

lol Thanks people.

And yeah. Maybe some front page reading would work http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Considering the amount of exp enemies give out even on S rank unless they start giving out crazy amount like in PSO level 200 won't be possible. In Japan the are just getting to level 80 and getting SS missions. Unless something changes (SSS and SSSS missions maybe?) They can't make it go to 200 without being an absolutely horrible grind to get there.

[zanotam]

he he it was a horrible grind to get there in pso though...he he...

[Nayla]

Hmmm.. but it aslo depends on the mish/area too. In PSO lv 80's could do Ult Forest (kinda corresponding to SS Rank lower missions) but only high lv chars could do, say, PW4. The range from low-Ult to high-Ult was huge so it gave alotta room to lv up and keep the challenge for higher lvs. If PSU keeps that huge range, I could see us getting to 200.

I just really don't think it will happen. By keeping the level cap lower people will have an easier goal to shoot for instead of playing the game for 1000+ hours. If you keep things in reach for the casual player and make it so they can possibly max their level by putting in a small amount of time it will keep them playing. That way other don't feel left behind when they join late and everyone is doing crazy hard missions. In PSO it was hard even for hardcore players to get one character that high let alone 4.

Companies keeping in mind the casual players too much get the game boring. I want a long game. That's all. I don't want to get to 100 and stop playing. I know that's what is going to happen. Plus not everyone has to get to lv200 ya know.

[Rashiid]

I WANT THE LVL CAP TO BE 1,000,000,000!!! ^_^

[ljkkjlcm9]

the level cap will be over 100, almost guaranteed with the addition of SS ranks, considering some harder missions have S rank enemies in the 90s

The enemies can be over 100 if they want. The idea is to make the game so that you need several people to play a mission and not just solo it. On the JP servers the level cap will be 80 soon. Considering how high the enemy levels are you would think the level cap would be more than 80.

O_O That would be SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS rank! At least!

Thats under the assumption that the harder missions get SS-rank. The current SS being added are to the lowest of low s-rank areas. Most likely only bringing them to about the same level as the high level S-ranks.

[PMB960]

I would laugh really hard if the level cap does go to 200. I couldn't wait to be doing 10K+ damage with my force and killing S rank enemies with a single critical.

[rvzero]

lvl 200.. That would be hillarious... especially C or B rank missions
*takes out Harisen Battle Fan and smacks De Ragan in the head
1 hit KO!

[Kinako78]

heh, I already finish De Ragan off pretty quickly offline at only level 20, so yeah, 1 hit would probably do it at 200...maybe even at just 100.

[OdinTyler]

Well Kinako, you were 20. You BETTER beat him. I first beat him at 13 (15 if you count that old beta demo I played a year ago). But yeah, at 20 have you gotten S on him? If so, you get a nice trophy. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif Oh & Im for higher LVs. Havent hit 100 yet, but I do have 3 chars offline over 60, so thats not bad for a couple weeks. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif I just pray that 100 to 200 isnt as slow as PSO was. If it is, Ill NEVER get there! LOL

[Rashiid]

so, no 1,000,000,000?

I didn't say that I first fought him at 20. I'm just saying it was easy to then. I got S Rank. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Soukosa]

Stats for players and monsters online go up to lv 100 and don't think they'll be going above that anytime soon if ever. For those of you who want something to do, keep in mind that ST had plans for taking the class type level for expert classes up to 20 which could easily go even higher.

[PALRAPPYS]

http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

Man I really want 200 now.

[PMB960]

I have a feeling that like all the PAs, Techs, and Bullets, class levels will go up to 30. If levels actually went to 200 seeing how forces can do 3.2K crits at level 70 with A rank weapons it would be 10K crits atleast at level 200 fortetecher 20(atleast) and an S +10 weapon. This absolutely would not make sense.

[PALRAPPYS]

*cough*

De Ragan SSS would have 1,000,000 HP? O.o

[Rashiid]

it would make perfect sense

i dont see why they cant make it 200, seriously.

its Sega, so who knoes

[LordJoe]

no it would be S to the S power rank ^_^

well considering offline is lot easier than online I wouldnt doubt it

[Skuda]

consider the weapons people. Right now we're at the A rank weapons for S rank missions. S rank weapons will be common place for SS rank missions.

If we are to get a lvl 200 cap in the future, there will either have to be major stat boosts, super powered S rank weapons, or a brand new rank of weapons all together.

I really don't see PSU hitting over 100 for quite some time. Maybe in a few years, once they release an expansion of sorts.

[Jools]

The Perfect bible data goes up to level 100. That would seem about right.

-Jools

[Rashiid]

well, it better be hard as hell to lvl past like lvl 70

cauz then ppl would grow bored of this game asap

[Maridia]

Frankly, I'll be happy if it stays at 100. Seriously, 200 was too much on PSO. 100 will be just fine for people who don't spend their entire days grinding like mad. And those that do? Well, then they'll just be the best.

*prays for it to stop at 100*
