Suggesting something here that could/would alleviate a problem that, I'm sure, more people than myself, have with the Level Field event
The event is great. I like it for the initial boost to 5L+. I am also entirely fatigued afterwards from my experience of the past two events. I'm happy it's not more often, and I do believe the 6 week period in between is good.
My grudge is, that I already have a load of playable characters, but also juggle ideas for further toons, as I'm sure is the case for many other people. Knowing the relative speed of leveling (well, more importantly, gaining RP's) in the event, I refrain from leveling a toon outside of the event, simply because I know how long time I'd have to spend getting it to 5L+ outside the event vs. inside the event. I assume your 6 week timer in between is in part to get more people in PvE beyond "just" mitigating the problem of leaving regular Frontier Zones dead for a couple of days.
So, an idea:
- Allow preexisting characters into the Level Field event
- Figure out a smart way to make templates/pots/whatever items that arent rogs obsolete (and other potential issues that this could spur on)
E.g.
- Only allow preexisting level 50s in by doing a quest/paying gold for a mythical item as the DS/HoH approach (goldsink approach? I'd pay substantial gold to avoid grinding FZ from rr1)
- Change final level bracket to 50s only, or make the preexisting chars zone entirely separate from the other event (the zone was a tad crowded, but I'd prefer all together)
- Cap stats for all players in the bracket where preexisting are allowed or make a condition of joining the event the same as for a level 1 - no items allowed, and then give a ROG pack upon entry
Didn't read all suggestions through before submitting, so I apologize if this is a repeat offender
Anyhow, ty to staff for facilitating - I wholly enjoy the server.
