Level Scaling Question

tclark_ESO · October 2016

Anyone have any idea how this upcoming level scaling is compared to how Guild Wars 2 does theirs?

Will this allow friends playing in different factions to work/group in PvE?

Sorry if this has been answered earlier somewhere. Thanks!

Yes, it will allow the three factions to work together in PvE. No more alliance barrier outside of Cyrodiil.

Awesome.

Thanks for the reply!

I'm just curious is it scales you, or the content? Grouping wise also?

Can I powerlevel a buddy if I'm higher level, or do I get scaled into equaling their level?

I believe the intent is to make the scaling work like it does in the DLC areas but I have not tried it out on PTS.

You might find more information in the PTS forum section from people who've been testing it.

Every single bit of the game will scale you the way DLC zones and Cyrodiil scale you now. Due to this, enemies no longer have levels.

Basically everyone (and all the enemies) are scaled up to CP160 everywhere.

So the advantage over the way GW2 does it is you can play with anyone anywhere. I took a brand new character solo to the level 50 zones and was able to survive. Also no issues with down-leveled players being stronger than players at the right level.

It is a bit weird, at least at first, but in terms of being able to play with your friends it's a big improvement over what we've got now.

It also means you can do the DLCs at any stage without having to wait until you're level 50 for fear of out-leveling the rest of the base game content when you return to it. No matter what you do, or when you do it, you will always be on level.
