Q:
With the new update, do you level up?
A:
at lvl6 if your group chooses lvl5 difficulty, then you will not advance to lvl7
tl;dr – NO
kill all ze thingz
Think of the current level of the fractal as being the cap for rewards, and leveling up your fractals is a reward. So no you will not gain levels doing lower level fractals as your rewards are set to the lower fractal.
So , no?
What I’m trying to ask is if your max level is, for example, 6 and you get a group to do level 5 will you advance to level 7?
