[April Fools] Level cap discussion thread
-
We're aware of the issues relating to powergamers just painting the walls with the blood of lowbies given the possibility of greater level ranges across the server.
We've considered a "PvP Toggle" which players can turn on which would isolate them from PvP entirely while it is on - unable to hurt or be hurt by other PCs. Given player concerns about mass-PvP, I think it's clear that this is the way forward.

Effectively if we could have this approach I think the server would benefit immensely.
I have a couple suggestion for the low level characters using this tool:
1. impossibility for those activiating the tool to loot the fallen;
2. give a cooldown of activation/deactivation of about 5 mins (to avoid the low level to stand by and loot the high level character who spent a lot of time getting gold and essential equipment if he/she is killed by another pvp-willing character) -
Honestly, I never cared for Diablo. Never said hi to me. Not once.

Despite a rocky start here at CoA, I am honored that the DM team was able to come to the decision after Diablo's unfortunate resignation that I would be the best candidate to take their place.
I look forward to DMing for you all as you make the uphill battle of becoming level 20 demigods. Please expect a fresh new metaplot about murderous clowns and steampunk kobold pirates on the morrow.

OMG this n00b DM Team.
Time to leave this server and go someplace that is actually 1337.

Wait, this is actually a thing…?
In the off chance of this not being an April fools joke:
This would be a HUGE undertaking in terms of balancing issues, which the DM's of the past have spent countless hours to create. I really think more time should be focused on current bugs (Crafting recipes, known quests bugs, NPC conversation lore, bard songs, light/dark mage reimplementation, Restoration being available to the playerbase again from clerics)
Doing something like this would greatly divide up the players of the server in terms of questing. Coming from someone that plays on the late hours of Arabel with maybe 6 other people, it can be very difficult to find quests that everyone can come on. Also once you hit level 13, what is there for you to do besides the poison water quest (lvs1-20 I believe). New quests would have to be made for those players which would draw away attention from quests that are currently buggy.
I think what we've got is good, I wish we could get +1 equipment like we use to back in V3. Trystan ran a tight shift with his business and it crated an awesome player driven economy.
Anyways, I support the DM staff in whatever they choose to do, but I enjoy the atmosphere we've got.

I support this, It means the DMs can spam more Balors on us and we can have a decent chance.
