i agree and think this is long overdue, i am tired of always being auto sk'd to 50 in every AE mission cuz the level range is so high
Incidentally though, it is nice for PUG's since anyone can join your team
I dont have a siggy.....sad huh
I would love to see a feature like that. It is a pain to find arcs that are good for lower level characters and just saying my level doesn't help much.
So:
/signed, stamped and sealed
It'd be awesome if searching for my level showed mission withing 5 levels of your current level only.
While asked for, I don't think this has ever had an official suggestion so I'd love to see this.
Giving players better search tools for finding MA arcs they're likely to enjoy would be "pure win", and I hope such a change is put into the "to do" list.
Being able to specify a level range for MA arcs--just like at the markets when buying enhancements and recipes--would be very helpful, and greatly appreciated.
I've used some search fu, but I'm tired. Most of the Google links are busted and when I try to search the forums for this I'm getting tons of garbage to weed through. I'm tired to fight my way through it at this point, so post a link from this thread to another on this if you know it's out there.
Here's the dilemma.
Let's say I have a level 15 character and I want to run a level 15 arc in the MA.
I go to the MA and I pick my level and some sorting features.
Ta-da! I have missions that I can safely run at my level?
No. I have a list of a bunch of level X=below level 15 to Y= level 50-54.
When I want a mission "my level", I don't want missions that cap at some 30 levels above my character. Those missions have not been made a level 15 character to run ... and most of them contain custom characters or AVs that are really outside of the league of a level 15 character.
It should be clear by now that a level 5 party can't run missions that are set for level 1-50 that include AVs. It is my feeling that the sensible level range for any arc can't be much more than 20 levels.
Now I have made missions for low level characters. I don't have one currently posted, but If I had my level 1-20 arc posted at the moment, it would be buried in a pile of 1-54 missions when I searched for "my level" for a level 15 character.
Why is that the case?
It would be much easier if I could set the level range of the missions.
That is to say instead of "My level" have two settings a low range and a high range. I want to find missions that are set at a minimum of level 5 and a max of level 25.
There might not be many, but those missions have probably been tested at that level range and the enemies have powers that a character in that range can fight.
Or maybe I'm the only one that tries to pick level ranges that aren't 1-54 in the MA. That may very well be the case.
I know when I create missions, I create them intentionally for a level range and test them in that range to see if I can complete them or not.
All I know, it is that it was very frustrating to try to find a level 15 arc when everything that was coming up was level 1-54 with AVs, Elite Bosses. In fact the only mission that was capped below level 54 that I found had "extreme lts".
Just like searching the forums, I don't have all day to try to search for a mission. "My level" doesn't work as intended if it was intended to find a mission that character "my level" was really functional to battle.
So I guess I would really like to be able to search for at least missions that are capped at certain level. I would have been fine attempting missions that were capped at 25, but those that go all the way to 50?
A level 15 really isn't ready for soloing that and the MA is intended to be usable by all levels.
I guess I can pull down one of my higher level arcs and put in another low level arc, but I would kind of like to play other people's missions that were built for low level characters and there doesn't seem a good way to search for them using the current MA search functions.
