Now that party sync is a thing, why not allow maxed players, or rather anyone above the bracket of a certain dungeon set, to queue for dungeons below their level? Rather than only being able to do so when in that level bracket.
I would love to occasionally dip into older dungeons scaled down, just to help people go through their dungeons. Scale the rewards to the players level, and bingo.
Well you can join as a maxlevel with the synk though.
With that said, I was in Shadowfang keep today (on my lowbie hunty), with two party synked people. The DK tank was the down-synked… And he had a horrible time haha. Mastery - gone Abilities scaled or non-existant. We had a great and fun run, it was just sightly hard for him to tank
Problem is it requires grouping with someone in that level bracket first, I don’t see why it wouldn’t be possible to allow us to just queue solo for them.
Would love it as well, it would open much more dungeons to do instead of having the same 6 ish of the current expansion on repeat for years. I’d be fine with getting not very good gear as long if i can keep the tmogs.
But doing this would at the same time remove the need for the timewalking events, so i dont think it will happen for normal queues.
2 totally different systems.
TW scales your level and gear/stats to 71 for example and at you can’t go below that . And only works in 6 dungeons per expac.
Party Sync
Scales your level/gear/stats/abilities/spells
And works in all dungeons of that level.
They spent a lot on both systems neither will be removed.
Party sync is the best addition to wow in a long time. But I agree they should uncouple it from grouping with a low level character. Open up those dungeons and low level areas to everyone. They have been abandoned for way too long.
Party sync also allow to repeat any quest from the game. They should expand to allow people to replay quests and do all dungeons without other player in group.
In fact this system could be a way to allow to play quest chains that are essential for the story like pandaria and wod legendaries or mage tower.
After all Party Sync does not give any reward.
You will still be able to do those dungeons at lvl 120. Party Sync is optional. You can faceroll those dungeons at 120 when you want to just earn transmogs quickly and you can do it with lower-level when you want to just have some fun doing an old dungeon. Facerolling a dungeon at some point becomes boring.
OP doesn’t want to play with characters in Classic realms, he means to play the level 1-60 dungeons that are still available in BFA realms with level 1-60 characters on BFA realms. And by extension to also be able to play any dungeon before BFA expansion in the same group as low-level characters.
If they sync is done proper it should be like a level x player doing it when they were level x.
The problem being abailtes were never put in the game to be very blanced at a certain level.
FF14 has had level sync since launch and the classes are balanced arouind that. (However, they have gave synced down player much more power than the should have.)
Hopefully by 9.0 it’ll be better tuned then again TW still is not but then again you’re scaling upcontent.
