If it's 100 I will hunt down Sega.

I would imagine 100 since jobs max out at 20. Also, in the beta, lv30 was over 300k total exp, and there's a place for 8 digits in the total exp. Assuming this scale is used in the final game, and the max level turns out to be 200, total exp would most likely exceed 100 million (though PSODC was pretty damn close to that). The first 30 levels (where closed beta ended level-wise) shouldn't be too difficult at all.

uhawww

The 200 level scale in PSO was actually quite decent, so hopefully they stick to it. Eight placeholder digits seems to run on a comparable scale.

ok, thanks guys for the quick replys. Yeah i actually liked the lvl 200 in PSO because it made the game last alot longer

I like the level 200. Mostly because you felt "young" even when you were level 134 or somthing. Hah there was more work to be done EVEN after you've been playing for that long. All the experience you have, statistical and not, STILL doesnt add up to enough to take on the BIGGEST of adventures. I dont know, I just like the idea of not reaching God Status fast.

well sonic team can easily just like make it longer to level to 100....

Saner

it might start at 100. then later they would raise the cap to 200 if needed.

this depends on the enemies and how hard they get further on.

id like for psu to take the same amount time or longer to reach max level, compared to psobb. everything leveled way too easily in the pc beta. techs going from 1 - 20 in just a few hours of use. hopefully the full ver slows that down quite a bit.

Saner
Aug 18, 2006, 03:59 PM
hopefully not too slow. *remembers being bored to tears leveling and skilling up in FF11*

If it would be only to lv 100, i'm going to cry!
I really want lv 200 at minimum if PSU has quite the same leveling system as PSO, it think to get lv 100 was really to easy in PSO...

I'd like to see a max level of 200 again. I'll bet some ST members are REALLY sick of PSO comparisons. Obviously it's bound to happen, but I'm sure it gets annoying from time to time http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

Saner
Aug 18, 2006, 04:12 PM
well the lv. number is secondary to the leveling rate.

I forsee some will immediately panic if they hear the level cap is lv.100, without checking if leveling is faster or slower than before. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

lv.100 can be equivalent to level 200 if it takes twice as long to level to 100.

people in the beta say it's fast leveling to 20 but leveling gets slower the higher you are.

VioletSkye

That's true of any game like that. PSO is the same way. I think everyone already realizes that if the cap is level 100 that it will take longer to get to so that's not really the issue. I think they (like me) would just like to see a level 200 cap for old times sake http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

bah I'd personally like to see the lvl 200 cap still in place, but i thank god every day that the xp system isn't ANYTHING like FFXI omg... yet i still managed to take BLM to 75 PLD to 73 and War to 67 .... *sigh*

I wouldnt mind getting a little higher then 200 like maybe 250 or 300 would be nice so that it takes forever to finish it but thats just me

I'd rather see a max level of 100 than 200, seeing as most people like to play with multiple characters, and trying to level up 4 characters to 200 would be a nightmare.

I do agree though that it should take a while to level your character all the way to the max.

LvL 200 in PSO was a fluke. Originally, the level limit was 100 - but due to cheating and the additions to PSO v.2, Sonic Team needed a new goal to push players towards. Ultimate mode was created as a way to disable people who had cheated to get their weapons (v.1 weps were useless in Ult). With the new difficulty level, the level limit had to be raised.

PSU will most likely also start capping at level 100 - then raise the level limit as new additions or expansions become available.

I'm sure somebody will try and get to the level cap within the first week of launch.

And their name will quickly be forgotten because they'll move onto another game to blow through and get bored of. Power gaming is a vicious cycle.

I know a power gamer, he's rather annoying and he plans to follow me around in PSU. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif I wish people could just sit, and Enjoy a Good game.

He's my friend, but forgive me for the reference: we like to call his attitude, "Ash Ketchum syndrom." for wanting to be ther best there is.

FFXI taught me...that I can wait for a party for upwards of 8 hours and never get one. -_-

Speaking about parties, dont you need to find a party in this game to do missions?
Lets hope it doesnt take as long as it does in FFXI to find a party in this.

Yeah you have to find a party. Otherwise you just wait in the lobby and chat with other people. I think you can solo also though.

I wanted the max level to be 200 again just for old time's sake. I always aimed for 200 in PSO, and it'd be cool to do the same in the next iteration.

100 would be good, 200 great. 30 would suck

I don't care what the level cap is as long as I keep getting new things to do until I reach the level cap. I don't like excessively repeating things JUST for experience points. Though if there are some particularly fun missions, repeating might not be so bad...

If leveling was quick in the beta, then I would imagine the full version would have slowed leveling.(I played the Auto Assault beta with quick leveling and thought it was great. But that game NEEDED quick leveling. Its full version has slower leveling and it becomes a grind after a certain point. That's the only beta I played though so I dunno if other games follow this example.)

I'm geussing you never played PSO before because this game is nothing like FFXI it's actually fun to level up in this game even alone.

I mean no offense by this, but have you ever gotten to 200? From the way you put that, I'd have to doubt it. Considering that, in terms of total exp, 183 is the half-way point to 200, something like 250 or 300 is absolutely absurd.

Personally, I would enjoy to see the cap return at 200, assuming it takes about the same amount of playtime to reach that point. In my time on PSOBB, I felt like I had pretty much completed all that was worth completing in the game by the time I had leveled my FOmar to 200.

Zeig123

actually no but I have only been playing for a year anyways.....since corruption so otherwise in total I have enough exp to equal a level 200 though.....have like 6 level 125 or up characters....not all of then in my profile either

In order for 6 characters to total the exp of one level 200 character, each would need to be over level 145, not 125. But yes, I understand your point, however, it's just....uh....different to have all the playtime on one character, if you understand what I'm getting at.

After reading many posts in this topic, I swear many of you are under the impression that its faster to get to 100 than it takes to get to PSO 200.

As said before, PSU 100 could = PSO 200, for all we know, PSU 100 could even equal PSO 400 meaning it'd take ages to get to 200.

If ST wanted to be fun, they could have changed PSO to have a level cap of 83 million. But overall, the experience would still be the same. It would not take longer or shorter than if it was 200 levels as its still the same exp.

well you guessed completely wrong. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

and even with PSO's great combat system, it would of still gotten dull if leveling took too long (especially with the few dungeons PSO had), thankfully PSO's leveling rate wasn't so bad.

KylePhoenix

There should be no level cap. That would show them who's boss.

Saner
Aug 19, 2006, 08:33 AM
the difficulty can only get so high. no level cap would be disasterous and too easy. ppl would just instead make a new character.

Dingo
Aug 19, 2006, 08:34 AM
Yeah the leveling rate in PSO was indeed far from bad. I keep hearing about FFXI that it takes ages to level up and it gets harder to level later on 'cause forming a decent party to even level is a beotch. I'm not worried about the level cap in PSU though, I trust sonic teams judgement ..... (no really...I do!)

Saner
Aug 19, 2006, 08:35 AM
anyways no matter what level cap they choose, they can always increase it later. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif
