High Level Players In Low Level Instances?

miradroid

Hi everybody!

I left Neverwinter around the time when HR was introduced and around that time, the duration of the instances could take quite long because we were all around the same level range. I returned to Neverwinter recently and noticed that there are always high level players playing in low level instances... Why is that? Is it out of their hands?

Just wondering! Sometimes it can be kind of irritating rushing a dungeon all the time - kind of kills the in-game experience.

well, some of us still need things from those instances some of its for the astrals, you hit random Q and it places you in one of the instances. mostly you have no control over anything other than which tier . so some may be level 70 but only have a 8kitem level. they are kind of stuck on what they can do right now

Probably, they are look for Master Work components.
I spend much time in Hotenow.

The leveling random queue is always open. Some people haven't moved up the difficulty scale yet.

each level player can enter anywhere so that before the end of the person to improve the character and raised the item level you did not wait to enter.

If you are pugging queues, you generally get what the majority of players want: a fast run for the payout.

If you want a less rushed experience, or to explore, etc., then form a private group for that dungeon/skirmish/event.

There are also high level characters going back to low level zones for the Maze Engine campaign quests.

The queue just looks for bodies that can run the content.

Even if a player did not join the random queue, higher level players that did can get pulled in to whatever you chose.

So a level 70 queues for the random daily. A level 50 comes along and queues for the random daily. Then Mr. and Mrs. level 20 come along and decide that they want to run the Cloak Tower to finish the Tower District, so when they queue up for that the game looks for people to join them and sees those other two players that are eligible for the content.

Since Mr & Mrs level 20 are doing Cloak Tower (a three player Dungeon) which of the other two players doing a leveling Dungeon, get to go with them?

Was that what the OP asked?

I thought that they asked why high level characters were in lower level instances and I answered that.

Doesn't matter how many people are needed for an instance, doesn't matter how much higher a level they are.
All that matters is that the system works like it does.

This is not limited to PUG in dungeons. There is a dirty little dwarf who calls himself King in the Underdark. That fellow sends me out to kill demons at level 70 in Blacklake, Tower District, Chasm, etc.. I have seen lower levels following me and I warn them to stand clear but to no avail. Part of the problem is game design, part is player ignorance, and most is greed for fast AD rewards. If I enter a low level area, I am on their turf, and I should behave myself. However the vast majority just steamroller over the little guys.

greywynd

Yes, but demons are good XP for those levelers in Blacklake, Tower, Chasm.
