The second feature is what we have come to call “Super-Sidekicking” but actually applies to all types of Sidekicking: Exemplaring, Lackeying, and Malefactoring as well. With this system, everyone in the team will find themselves automatically level adjusted to the level of the owner of the Mission that is currently selected. If there is no mission that is currently active, then the level is set to the leader of the Team.

If you are below the level you are getting set to, you are automatically sidekicked up to one level below the owner’s level, just as if you had sidekicked to them. If you are above the level, then you will be lowered to the level of the owner, just as if you exemplared down.

I'd say any doom about that, would be countered by

The players don’t need to do anything for this to happen, it all happens automatically. This means that no matter what level ranges you have in your group, you can ALWAYS play together and you can ALWAYS get XP. Yes, we are even changing the way exemplaring works so that you get XP while you are fighting at a lower level. There will be an option of having the “old way” of exemplaring, and earning extra Inf. instead, for those players who want to earn some more Inf. instead of levels.
Crisis averted.

Thusfar, this thread is full of good and more good news. Glad to see these changes coming down the pipe.

By the way Vega, where/how did you get that kick#$$ sig graphic? It's awesome, and yes, I plan to mooch off your excellence and get something like it for myself. =)

I'm really wondering about those minimum SF/TF levels. Will we be able to bypass them using this? Also, what happens if a level 1 SK's up to go into the RWZ and then quits team. Do they get booted from the zone?


So many questions....

I think this "little" feature needs to be thoroughly tested in beta.

Is RWZ still considered a "Hazard Zone"? I thought that for all HZ's you need to be the right "Security Level" not "Combat Level" by sidekick. Otherwise you could have a bunch of level 1's flooding the Hive.

I'm hoping that there's a boot feature. Like when you drop or go to the wrong place on a mixed team. There's no reason to have 1's in the War Zone. They're canon fodder.

lol, come on, it could be like the first floor of the final mission of LGTF, with bodies all over the place. At least it would be funny for awhile, even if it got old later on.

It's interesting. They've gone a step towards going "level-less." We still have levels, of course, but with the right team, this becomes like Fallout... Even a Level 1 character could beat the End Boss.

I made it using Paint Shop Pro. At some point (when I finish grabbing screen caps), the picture will change every few minutes or so.

Incomplete and messy still, but you get the idea.

I can talk you through it or can make one up for you. Let me know

Brawl wouldn't even be slotted.


I'm more happy about the eMail changes.

Since we can't eMail other people items in our inventory, what is the real use for it?


Sometimes, I impress my boss. Sometimes, I impress myself. The rest of the time, I scare people. I can live with that.

So wait...essentially, after I16, I can team with anyone, any time, in any combination of levels? There will be no more trying to finagle keeping my usual team in the same level range so we can all play together every week?

AWESOME.

Seems like if they aren't very careful this could be very exploitable. But, will just have to wait and see.

Not only that, but you can swap between missions with ease. Run a level 40s mission in Dark Astoria, then fly back to Kings and throw does with the Skulls.

One thing that this does is keep folks from bridging. Since everyone is one level lower than the mission holder, they can no longer have a level 46 sidekick a level one on a level 50's mission, since both the 46 and the 1 will now be 49.

You guys are missing the important part.

The min will still be there Castle it is old so it could be different now. I can only hope.

As for the RWZ Positron says a lvl 1 can now enter the RWZ
