Jo has pretty much ignored these two for weeks, glad to see they're still going out /yurifan

[url=#user_comment_139147]@Malygon[/url]: Actually, that got revealed in a PCGamer article recently - it looks like the rewards a high-level player who's downlevelled receive are better than the player whose level matches the content, but not as good as they'd get for doing content appropriate to their own level.

OMG, Yes! I'm SOOO sick of playing through act 1 now and I haven't even started act 2. Because of this, I have all my slots filled up with character just sort of hanging out at the very beginning of act 2. At what point is it appropriate to tell your friends that they're just on their own?

too much armor for high level female toons. you have the lvl 1 noob wearing too little!

Good to see that the Rule of Adorable regarding both Engies is still in effect. Dat Orange Engie face in panel two is kawaii-desu mother fucker cute.

Man have I been in this situation before.
P.S. glad to see both Engies together again.

Same damned thing happened over and over in FFXI. Luckily, we had 18 jobs to switch through.

Also: This comic is truth. ESPECIALLY in MMOs you've started specifically to play with your friends...

This sums up every multiplayer game of Terraria I've ever played.

no way to temporarily downgrade level to play with friends?
I guess there's no need for it since people will buy anything blizzard craps

This Feel, i know this feel.

The only character i want to really play is my Barb, but all my friends will bitch at me if i level without them.
Thankfully i learned that the monk is Awesome, so he helps with my soloing needs.

fortunately if you are a few levels off the low level can catch up by the end of an act, for the first few quests it will be difficult for the low lvl.

[url=#user_comment_139125]@Rawrikins[/url]: And since there isn't a leveling curve as much as a leveling plateau you won't need that much more XP to level up. Wether you do get the same amount of XP he does for killing mobs and doing events, however, has still to be determined.

I'd LIKE to play Diablo 3, but my computer is shit and either can't run it or can't install it correctly.

To be honest I think it is better if you simply start to group once level 60.
It is not THAT long to reach and once everyone is 60 you can just group as you wish and farm bosses and stuff going through nightmare, hell and inferno.

Como assim, a engie é canhota?

42nd!!!

Even though this comic has absolutely nothing to do with the quality and content of the game itself, and is actually just using D3 as a setting to address a situation that many co-op RPGs in the past have dealt with...

Perfect place to talk about how much you think the game sucks or hate DRM!

Happened with KOTOR. Disabled account.

Kinda why I'm going to enjoy Guildwars 2 so much more.

"Aw you're level 30? I'm only 15..."

"So? I'll come help you and we'll both be your level as we fight things."

That's what you get for playing a crappy game.

[url=#user_comment_139103]@LB[/url]: It is an axe head. There is a very thin shaft.

Diablo 3 sucks.

This is why I like City of Heroes. You can sidekick up or down and adjust your team's level to match whatever content you're playing. Anyone can play with anyone without issues.

She's a monk, why does she need help? Teleport, lashing tail kick, heal(if needed), repeat

What's the thing over the head in the last panel? (I wanted to do a photo note but can't be bothered signing in)

I understand this, and I'm not even that fast a leveler. One day you're having fun with a friend, next day they disappear. Two months later they log in, "Why you level without me? :(" Then of course you wait for them and end up never seeing them again.

@Jake'm: I think there was...
Again, it's not like diablo history was epic and shit.

Engietan's armor got skimpier!
Armor Increased!

Don't recall this being a big problem in Guild Wars.

Every fucking time on Diablo II

My friend convinced me to get it, and blasted through whilst I was left to pick up the scraps that he left behind, to get me through the game faster.

Was there a story to DII? I never saw it.

>> Act 4... I have problems

Act III? Lucky git. I've only just gotten to the start of Act II, because of that stupid 3007 error.

Bloody Blizzard DRM.

Yeah, as mentioned City of Heroes, but Final Fantasy XI did it first, as far as I can tell, with level capped areas. Expanded later with the Level Sync function, which treats everyone in the party as though they're the same level (if higher), but they get experience and such off the Sync'd targets.

I look at Diablo III, i feel nothing, I see ARMA III, i need it now !

Is it possible to make a game system, where different power level character can play comfortably with each other?

@Platypus: (City of Heroes had a fix, where everyone scaled towards party leader.)

That sounds pretty cool. I'm definitely going to remember it, though I don't think I'd ever use that exact system.

This is why I've been thinking about how to design a game to not have this problem. Either make mixed-level parties work well, or have a thing for the party of 4 but one player just can't play anywhere near so often.

I know that feeling.

Both directions, on the same game, with the same characters. With the same people. I eventually decided they were not very nice people. Since they never told me one way or the other (if wait or go) and always blamed me when it didn't match up.

What ever happened to that black haired character? She still cleaning floors with a rag and bucket?

Something like this is not a problem with Guild Wars 2.

[url=#user_comment_139022]@Wow[/url]: Oh you, don't you know this is part of our tradition? Now where are the Nerfnow.com photo-notes?

i feel your pain im only lvl 28 in Tera right now and my friend has 5 characters higher lvl than me

This is EXACTLY what my friends did.

City of Heroes had a fix for this situation, where the party leader basically set the "level" of the party as a whole. High level people got powered down, low-level people got powered up (for only the powers they had unlocked). Worked lovely.

I've lost track of how many times I've done this in Borderlands.

[url=#user_comment_139022]@Wow[/url] If you don't like them, then why are you searching for such photo notes?

[url=#user_comment_139038]@leafyvegetable[/url] And a lot less fun. And usually leaves people friendless. And end up dealing with even worse n00bs who can't tell the difference between a monk and a barbarian. I'll stick with my friends, thanks.

Ditch that slow bitch, leveling with friends is for fucking casuals.

We have this problem no matter which game we play. Especially hard if you can just get levels by accident.

well you also get actual level loot in diablo artisan is another matter entirely

Upside, my blacksmith is level 4 and making level 30 items. I'm not even 20 yet...

OK I feel the pain. I have a level 18 WD with my friend and brother. A level 15 Barb for my other friend. Level 12 wizard as a ult for my brother and I playing alone. I've also started monk because a friend was dumb and got 2 day shipping from amazon, and just started.

It is never fun to party with error 37

I am SOOOO glad that in GW2, your level is scaled down for the zone, so you can play with your lowbie friends whenever you want, and "actual-level" loot drops for you.

Oh and overflow server means that you can play no matter how many other people are on, no queues.

Yeah they should just ban words liek mine and pow from photo notes

Where is all the boring and repetitive: Mine, Now with more, Spy here, Pow haha and stuff that everyone thinks is still original and funny?

First
