I propose that the item boxes be made available to all levels. So, for example, a level 30 could open a lower level item box or a level 18 could open a higher box.

I don't see any particular downside to this suggestion. If a low level gets a higher level item, he couldn't use it until he gets to that particular level anyway.

And there are certain lower level items which are useful for higher levels. For example, the level 26 energy blaster, the level 24 sure shot or the level 25 legendary harpoon.

It doesn't make much sense to me that these items aren't available to a capped player. In my case, I leveled too quickly to be able to obtain these and other items from boxes, and now I'm unable to because the only box at my disposal gives level 28-30 items only.

I hope you take this idea into consideration. I know a lot of other players also support this idea.

Thanks.

good idea except for one thing you can only buy items boxes at your level or lower levels because if you are lower level item boxes cost much less meaning that a low level pays only 4k for a level 30 box when a level 30 has to pay 12k for a box so you can only buy boxes that are your level or lower UNLESS you make the low levels pay 12k for a L30 box in this case i like your idea

Another main reason for this is because the goal of the devs is to have everyone playing at their own level. If a level 30 had access to items of lower levels, then more level 30s would be playing at that lower level then at level 30.

Besides, the only items that you cant get except through boxes are Legendary, so if it is something you want from a lower level... buy it straight up in the store with full CR amount, and/or purchase tokens to get the Epics. If there is a Legendary weapon you want, slow down your leveling or buy Gold boxes for a better chance before you get out of range.

That being said, if they made boxes available to upper levels, what would be the purpose of buying tokens... remember, they still need to make money above all else to keep the game going.

I assume what you mean is that by equipping lower level gear a level 30 will be matched against lower levels. The solution is to make it impossible to match a player with someone 3 or more levels lower (or whatever is appropriate).

Your second point about money seems irrelevant to me. Firstly, this game isn't supposed to be pay-to-win. If someone wants to spend money to support the game that's all very well, but their investment should only speed up their progress, not allow them to achieve things others can't.

Also, even if a level 30 spends hundreds of dollars, with the current system he still won't be able to obtain those items I mentioned.

My suggestion doesn't overpower certain players, in fact it does just the opposite - balances things, by giving everyone equal chances to get items.

Take 2 hypothetical cases:

One player levels to 30 and by sheer luck he manages to get many useful legendary items from the boxes.

Another player does the same thing, but the boxes don't reward him and he levels to 30 forever unable to get those items which the other player has.

Obtaining items shouldn't just be about luck. It should be about work and persistence. But no matter how much you work and persevere, when you are level 30 you can't get a legendary item under level 28.

Close...

Currently as is... no matter what your level is, you are only matched up according to the highest leveled item you have on your Mech to include specials, mods, and kits. You are not matched to your "personal level"

ex. i am a level 27... the highest piece on my Mech is an 18, i have fought Mechs from 16-22. I do not plan to leave the level 18ish range untill i hit level 30.



Also remember you don't have to only buy boxes, you can always straight up buy the item for full amount.

I'm really talking about legendary items in this case. I'm currently using a heat build. I have a lot of items I like but I'm sadly lacking a legendary heat harpoon (level 25).

I was thinking of trying an energy build but the only decent top energy weapon is the level 26 energy blaster (one drainer is fine but two is nonstrategic).

I also wanted to test a pure physical build but the problem is that it's hard to cover all the ranges. I'd want the sure shot (level 24) because it's pretty high damage and takes care of 2-4 and that easily compliments with other weapons.

As you can tell I put some thought into builds and I found that there are a lot of low level weapons which are useful for a level 30.

I made this proposal out of self interest but I feel it's fair and reasonable for all players.

This has been talked about countless times and it still remains a solid no.
