I'm on my elec/kin Corr on union and decided to do the ouro intro arc as I've never done it with a vill yet. I do Meder Lazurus' mish fine them more onto the Mender Tesseract mish and find myself in the Zig Breakout map scalled to L1 as I expected... only my avalible powers are Lightning Bolt, Ball Lightning, Transfusion, syphon power and assault... EG, my power picks up to L6. Now obviously this is a result of of the SSK scripting kicking in and treating me as though I'm exemping down to the mish lvl with my powers +5 lvl's. Made the mish a breeze, but surely this isn't as intended as now the badge mishes and challenge mishes are going to be so much easier to do now! |
Here's the section from the Test server combined release notes:

Hmmmmm, fair enough... though it does seem to me this particular feature could prove to be open to abuse... guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I think the SSK system still needs a little tweaking. I was on a 6 person Positron team Wednesday night, and the team leader was 11. I was 10, but the SSK system SSK'd me to the team leder, bringing me to 10. *facepalm*
I expect we'll see a few tweeks to the system down the road.

I like ssk and the simple way it changes with missions. I played with a friend and went from 50 to 2 and it was fun. However, I thought Ouroborous flashbacks were going to be different and levels stuck to the old system - ie a 10 - 15 contacts mission would be set to 15 for anyone over that level. This would make more sense since your character is going back in time.

That is correct. A level 10-15 arc will exemp you to level 15. You will have the accuracy, hit points, etc of a level 15 character. *AND* you will have access to powers up to level 20. ALL exemping has this change.
