Now that it's confirmed the level cap is raising and that we aren't "pushing beyond level 30" via a lateral progression system... a few of us were chatting about this in Discord tonight and thought of a few ways the dev team could surprise us by adding levels beyond 30 to the game AND the change actually be GOOD for DDO (for everyone... not just the 3 people who like whatever the devs do):

  1. Standardize heroic life XP to 2nd life XP when the new levels launch. First life is the easiest... 2nd life on is 2.85 million.
  2. Racial PLs and Heroic PLs have a new option with a slightly more expensive heart which allows you to gain a Racial and Heroic life at the same time.
  3. Shared past lives
  4. Implement a new system which allows players to gain Heroic/Racial/Iconic PLs yet remain at the new level cap (or within the new level range: IE- 30-35/30-40/30-whatever)


TL/DR- If we're getting another layer of grind, old layers of grind should be more easily/quickly obtained.
