Guild Wars 2

i think i should a certain advantage against enemies when i am lvled down to effective lvl, why do i have to get beaten by a mob every time i try to kill a big number of enemies in the same time? the dynamic lvl system is awsome but it would be great to have a little advantage…

You do have a huge advantage… Go back and do the lvl 1-15 zones you skipped as a level 80 and you’ll notice that it’s derpishly easy. You’re only downleveled just enough to keep you from insta-killing hordes of enemies. They don’t want lvl 80’s hampering lower level players, i.e. killing mobs spawned in a DE so fast that lower leveled players can’t get any credit for participation.

You already have a huge advantage in that you get to keep all your Traits.

thats not what i meant… i meant that if im lvl 80 and i go to a lvl 70 zone. plus, it would be great that if you are in a zone which is 10 lvls less than yours, only veteran to bosses will attack you automaticlly.

Though that does still happen, even when it’s something like a level 20 going to a level 15 place, if they have up to date gear then things die very quickly (At level players usually can’t even get a hit in).

But that’d just make Map Completion trivial, since you’d not have to worry about anything in your way which makes the reward for doing it (Exotics in the higher level zones, items for legendaries from 100% completion etc) just a free gift since all you’d really have actually try for is the level 80 zones rather than putting in some effort for ALL zones.

“We had a few issues with this system that we made adjustments to. When high-level characters played in lower level zones, they were a bit too powerful, so the content was not as challenging as it could be. As a result of this, we also scaled down the rewards a bit too much.

As of the January 28 build, we made some changes to the dynamic scaling system to address these issues:

1.) We changed the formula for how attributes are calculated when the dynamic leveling adjustment system scales you down. This makes returning to lower level zones more fun and better balanced.
2.) We changed the formula for how rewards are calculated when scaled down to make it more rewarding for high-level players to visit lower level areas.

The goal is to more accurately reflect the attributes you should have at that level for a similarly geared character. While this will make some areas harder, our goal is to make all areas of Guild Wars 2 exciting and fun for players of any level. We also want players of all levels to feel like their time is well spent and rewarding in any map they go to."

You get a slight stat boost, but nothing game-breaking. That’s intentional. The vast majority of an 80’s advantage in low zones comes from traits, extra utility skills, and higher quality gear—that is, exotic versus masterwork, blue, or white. If I slap on blue level 80 gear, I do similar damage in a level 10, 20, 50 zone to what I did there on-level with the same build and quality gear. More, but similar. This is a large part of the ‘end-game’ in Guild Wars 2—which is already a topic people seem to complain about—so removing it only seems to be a bad idea.

Please no further advantages and power ups, we are already way too strong.

o.O seriously as soon as you are just downlvled to 10 lvls under your own it turns into easy mode -.-
in tank/healing gear you become completely immortal, in dps gear you literally 2 shot EVERYTHING! even big groups of enemies you kill within 2-5 seconds…

it’s laugheble easy when downlvled to the point where i see no reason to even downlvl us, you can solo every champion mob out there and it becomes boring and without challenge when downlvled which is just sad -.-

personally i think the stats should be capped at a MUCH lower amount then what they are, you got double the stats of what you could have had at the lvl your downlvled too right now.
