The lvl cap raise for Nimbus sea part 1

[Saiju]

Depends if they want to be consistent.

If it’s 220 for 2nd Magic to have javelin with a 120 stat difference at 100 stats. Assuming this 120 difference isn’t changed then it’s simply just 150 + 120 = 270.

that’s current requirement, not update requirement. updated requirement will be 340

340

oof this sucks

[Saiju]

That’s for Pulsar and surge on 2nd magic right?

[fartman1314]

yes

I already put my perspective on this in the patch notes discussion thread, but I’ll put it here too.

This is true, and normally I wouldn’t be upset about a small level cap increase. But it feels different this time, for a few reasons.

The Nimbus Sea update, in case you don’t know, will continue the story, add many new islands, and increase the level cap for the first time ever post-early access release.

It feels a little dirty to use the level cap increase as a selling point for the update when the only abilities it’s unlocking are Ultimate Leap for Mage (which I doubt will be used competitively ever) and Ultimate Smash for Berserker.

The second and biggest reason why it feels like we’re being done dirty is not just because only Berserkers are getting something useful, but also that many of us are having abilities taken away from us. That is what makes this selling point feel so underhanded, and that is why 7 levels doesn’t feel “good enough.”

I’m going to lose Javelin and get nothing in return. I don’t use Javelin much in PvP, but it was extremely useful in PvE, especially against Atlanteans. I feel like Vetex shouldn’t have changed the requirements before knowing for sure that the level cap would increase enough to compensate in this update. I was hoping for a 135 cap because trading Javelin for Snare and Double Beam is a deal I’m willing to make, and it wouldn’t be egregiously boosting our level higher than the story progression warrants like a 150 cap would be.

I feel like I’m being entitled here, but surely I’m not the only one who thinks it’s an iffy choice to make hybrids lose some or all of the rare spells/techniques that they previously waited for 3 updates to get, and further delay them getting the 160-req abilities they thought they would finally have, meanwhile an increase of 7 levels gets hyped up.

I’d like to clarify that it’s amazing that we get to play a game like this completely for free, and Vetex’s dedication is incredible, no doubt about that. Obviously I’m still going to play the update, and I’ll probably love the vast majority of its content. But that doesn’t mean I agree with every decision being made.

don’t lose hope yet, if vetex agrees with the balancers on changing second magic requirement from +120 to +90 magic then mage will have jav on second.

whilst the level cap raise of 7 is confusing, it’s more durability for my brig anyways

[WaryRGMCA1]

He won’t. He said it’s final on the qna. Just be patient i’m sure you can survive one month without javelin on your second magic

[Samppa1203]

I thought he said it’s an estimate? Well I wouldn’t know I didn’t watch it, I just read the transcript

[64arc]

if i wasn’t at school and on my phone i’d be hard backing you with an essay rn

[TheTom]

what the fuck is wrong with you? you just insult everyone, what do you even do ingame? do you play at all? are you just trolling?

[Ellis2k06]

WaryRGMCA1 tries to reply to someone without insulting them challenge: (Impossible)

[WaryRGMCA1]

you’re literally a hypocrite stop trying to get attention

[WaryRGMCA1]

it’s harder than you’d think when everyone is out to get you for no reason LOL

[WaryRGMCA1]

silly guy above who insulted me is a perfect example “WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN!!!” when he’s literally mean himself hypooooocrisy

also i won’t reply further to this or argue anymore because it’s clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that all of you are just baiting me into getting angry and that won’t work you can keep malding tho

[TheTom]

challenge: failed

[DubiousLittleTyp0]

oh my god can you just please implode already or something your takes are worse than the dark sea’s optimization

this thread is like watching someone fart in an elevator filled with people and seeing all the bystanders recoil in disgust and terror while the culprit just stands there and keeps passing gas

[OOFUS]

The level cap raised with the story, and the place where the story ends for nimbus part 1 is at lvl 132

[WaryRGMCA1]
