tldr version of this thread → sell me something.
I’m immune to abusive players since i never ever read the chat log. I obviously never answer since i do not read and i suppose i might have been reported for botting because of that.
The new system work just fine because Arenanet can’t do no wrong. Everyone complaining are just noobs that need to l2p.
//sarcasm off
A lvl 80 decide to help a friend that just started playing the game :
<real lvl 12> lol you character look powerful!<scaled to 12> hehe yea
2 mins later…
<real lvl 12> It’s just me or i’m doing more damage than you ? 0.o
<scaled to 12> Yea but i’ve tons of skills !
<real lvl 12> Does it matter to spam anything other than main attack of those mobs though ? They die in 3 secs…
<scaled to 12> humm. no…
<real lvl 12> lol So i’m stronger than you ? xD
<scaled to 12> … Brb gonna log in on my lowbie.
A lot of people agree with the new downscaling. For them it added a challenge. Now you kill things in 3 secs instead of 2 with your downscaled lvl 80. However your lowbie toon in masterwork still kill things in 2 secs.
If downscaling is really that broken then I shouldn’t have been able to solo TA Spider path last night
But I did.. and with a full Zerker Ranger
And before that I Soloed Spider Queen (again) in AC without taking any dmg and my Jungle Stalker Tanked her never loosing more than 15% of his HP..
Downscaling is most definitely not broken.. and what we do loose in stats we make up for in pure Build power..
having 3 full Traitlines makes you more powerful/capable even in downscaled areas than Raw stat power ever did
I think you don’t understand what is broken. It has nothing to do with the content being too hard now, everything is faceroll in this game anyway, downscaled or not. Read this post and then tell me it’s not broken.

Just my opinion but these type of thing would fit better in a game with asian art style. In GW2 i think it would just look weird. I totally want this in Blade & Soul though.

downscaling isn’t the problem. whatever algorithms they’re using to calculate the downscaling is the problem. lv80s shouldn’t be getting punished for being level 80 and having the best possible gear by being nerfed to the point they are out-damaged by an undergeared underlevel.
That’s exactly the problem right now. Downscaling is a nice feature but the implementation is kitten. If i’m leveling 1-80 in 70 hours and i go back to queensdale, i don’t want to be weaker than i was 70 hours ago in the same zone. That make zero sense. Doesn’t matter that my character have more skills unlocked, he’s still weaker (base stats).

Since ANet obviously has no objections to these threads, thinking they will stop or voluntarily be taken elsewhere is futile. In that case a subforum for non gameplay topics should be instituted and they can be discussed over there. Those who aren’t interested needn’t go to that subforum to read the threads.
The last patch messed up everything in this game. These threads are a welcome diversion.
Nope. The point of downscalling is so high level characters are equal to low level characters and thus still have a challenge in low level areas. I couldn’t care less for how much of your time you have wasted grinding, if you had a challenge fighting a bronze enemy as a level 12, you should still have a challenge fighting the same bronze enemy at level 80. The higher level isn’t an excuse for you to run around one shooting champions for free loot.
Downscaling was there before the patch and nobody was one shooting champions ?

I’ll need to make some more test but in some situations a lvl 80 in full exotic have weaker stats (especially power) than, let say, a lvl 12 when the 80’s is downscaled to 12. Even if both have power gear. I understand that people are absolutely anti vertical progression here but there’s some limit…

By all means go for it. Just don’t expect much membership and probably a fair amount of people blocking you.
That’s a pretty efficient way to block everyone you don’t want any interaction with. You let them block you instead.
Good to know. There’s nothing i hate more than playing the FOTM.
In 2015, Is it really possible for someone who disagree to express his opinion about this ?
“yes, as long as…”
“yes unless…”
“you can but…”
Ah ok, i get it. You can but not really.
I thought downscaling was perfect before the patch. Why they changed it exactly ?
For me personally it doesn’t change much. I’m terrible in pvp so i’m still dying all the time but faster than before lol
