Guild Wars 2

I think that players should be able to manually downscale further by five to seven levels lower than the default down scaling. I very much so like the design of the down scaling system in this game. However, sometimes I feel as though it doesn’t work as well as it should. I think that default down scaling should still take place, but players should be able to adjust the down scaling to make the content harder for themselves, and be rewarded for doing so.

I am not sure if everyone is aware, but I remember reading if you are a relatively low level, lets say 25, and you manage to kill or help kill a level 35 enemy, by killing this enemy your “passive magic find” is increased just for this enemy. Basically, by killing an enemy that is higher level than yourself, your chance to find rare items is increased. I like this system, and it feels like you can be greatly rewarded for using your own skills to take down a challenging higher level enemy.

As a result, adding the option to downscale yourself would be like adding a “hard mode” of sorts for players who enjoy that extra challenge. I would love to go back and venture through the lower level zones again, but even with the current down scaling system content can commonly seem trivial.

It goes without saying, also, that currently there are some issues with the loot table that would need to be addressed along with the adding a system of this kind.

Good idea, I agree 87%

I’ve to agree and already started a thread about this in BWE!

I even talked to one of the devs during BWE and suggested something like that and from what he said, I think there are good chances that this is something to come sooner or later! It seemed that they already discussed this in their office… :-)
