Have all Story Arcs Advance with your Level


Ad Astra

I think I brought this up long ago in one of my threads but I'll mention it again since I ran into this last night and when I logged on this morning.

I was invited to a team last night while I was level 8 with my Stalker. During that time I had a few mish'es that were set at around my level. So, while I was teamed, I jumped up six levels to level 14. After my team dispelled, I decided to do my Story Arc and it was still set at level 8. So, I plowed through them like butter with really no XP. As of this morning I still have a few more mish'es before the arc is complete, all of them at level 8. I beefed up my difficulty to compensate for this but the mish'es were still too low.

So, this brings me to my next question. Why are some mish'es able to "auto level" you up while some story arcs will not "auto level" with you? Does this have anything to do with Ouroboros and the ability to do the "back in time" mish'es? So, if you missed an arc and wanted to go back and play it then you could? This still doesn't explain why story arc's will not auto level you.

My guess is the NPC's has a certain cap level and cannot exceed that after certain levels so thus the level of the mish's cannot change, I am not sure? Not sure if any of the new additions in i16 are going to help this issue? I know one that will allow you to custom set the difficulty of the mish'es to make it more of a challenge so, maybe this might be the answer, I do not know?

In I16, you'll be exemplared to the level of the mission automatically. And there will be changes to the exemplar system so you don't just lose your fancy new powers just for outleveling a mission, or running a lower-level friend's mission.

You'll be able to make the game treat you as any size team you like, which will just change the number of enemies (and bosses) that show up, and whether AVs downgrade to EBs.

Positron says otherwise:

How does this affect a player who out-levels their own mission?

They outlevel it, just like normal. Super-Sidekicking cares about the level of the mission OWNER, not the level of the mission.

Oh, my bad. I misremembered the system

I would actually *hate* it if the story arcs automagically levelled up with my character. I have several alts who are currently actively outlevelling arcs that have EBs that I can't handle solo if they are even-level. This is pretty common, especially for some ATs.
