Bravery Bonus for Underlevel Play

[Yetzederixx]

Like the title says allow bravery incrementation, and/or award (even partial), for playing underlevel. So you do a level 8 quest where no one is above 6 then you would get Elite Bravery.

It seems to me Bravery encourages the opposite where players wait until 10 to hit that level 8 quest, and this would reward taking a risk. Some of the most challenging questing I did was PUG'ing out for VoN flagging on Elite and having an entire group not only below the elite level, but some below the quest level as well.

completely agree.
i have wanted an Underlevel bonus for ages. It rewards those who take a chance, experienced players and TR's would really benefit.
so I with /sign this knowing how pointless /signing things on here is

Kinda elitist suggestion.

But hmmh, why not. I don't know. People complain already that BB hurts PUGing because all want to do elite. After this they want to do elite under level?

I don't care. Not important to me.

This would be great, but also requiered being able to bank more than one level of XP, otherwise no TR would like to burn its first run soonner.

I've leveled a solo char than run everything as soon as i can open and stop at level 12 (i.e. vale quest)... that was a funny experience with unexpected challenges (rainbow really in the dark, necro 2 without lvl4 spells, etc.)

Something similar used to be there... long ago.

They removed it for the +10% no death thingie.
Because they didn't like that LVL 8 characters were earning 40K/50K XP doing Madstone ( yes, at that time a LVL 8 character could enter Gianthold ).
Because VON3 was done at LVL 5-6 instead of the normal level.

Personally I'm all for getting rid of the Bravery Bonus, the Item wear on death and the 10% XP for no death and putting back the old system ( XP scaling up and down according to party level compared to quest level, and XP penalty for death. ).


But I suspect that even your suggestion will not happen... they removed such a system, they are not going to reintroduce it.

Good to know about what was removed. It had dawned on me to make this post while replying to another is all.

You are right.
but i hate the idea.
but you are right would make more sense wouldnt it LOL.

Sadly i think players might leave if this was added to the game. I wish this game was more Flexable to newbies and Elite players a like.

I've been playing so long Not alot seems like a challenge and I have more fun on the forums now than in-game.

Bravery Bonus works well as is. The higher the level you are, the less XP there is available, and the more XP you need as well. Until that's fixed, doing everything a couple of levels later on Elite is a good easy fix.
