Hello,
Something I find really nice in modern MMO is the possibility to play with friends even with a high level difference (e.g. Guild Wars 2).
On a private server, I saw a feature similar to this and really liked it.
The idea is as follows :
- you keep the normal "Party" skill with its usual level restrictions, etc.
- but you have a new skill : "Scaling Party".
In this party, all your stats, damage and level are scaled to the lowest member of the party.
What are the pros of such a party ?
all the exp normally gained by the players at this scaled level is given to the lowest level in party ; This way you can help a friend leveling faster while playing with him. Doesn't matter which class you are.
since your level is scaled, you still get drops. This gives you an incentive to play with lower levels in area where you want to loot mats/refines. And you don't need No Exp medals, or adds or...
I would really appreciate to see this feature in an official version of ROSE, which would push me to invite more friends to play with them and also to go with a high level character in lower level region to loot and at the same time help random players leveling.
Thank you for reading,
Cheers,
Numenor
NB : For the scaling, the way candle ghosts power/hp scales with their level can be use as a base. Or one could study into more details what is the "usual stats" of a specific class at a specific level. If you need help implementing, I would gladly help :-)
