Chedburn should consider adding an item to the game that Reduces the users level by one level. Make it very rare and only found randomly in the city at the same rate as Stat Enhancers are found. Make it so they lower the level but don't lower experience allowing the person to immediately level back up if they wish.
This would be an awesome item that would allow players to lower their level for whatever reason they wished too. It would also be an awesome item because low level players who find them would be able to sell them for an obscene amount of money and high level players looking to actually lower their level substantially would need to use a large number of such items making their true use limited yet their novelty very very high.
It's an interesting idea that could be fun. What could also work is an item that masks or changes your level for 24 hours or possibly longer. It'd mask your level as between 1-100 for that time period before going back to what it should be.
Would the item affect life at all? level 1's with 7500 health could be interesting but it's an instant giveaway.
I'd assume they stay, kill streak medals do once the streak is broken and networth medals stay once you lose all the money your multi has earnt at the casino >.>
Some people find SE's at a decent rate, that aside what is gained from something that drops a person one level. Nothing.... At lvl 15-14 that person could easily get back the lvl to start flying again. Being lvl gives life in the new system and the benefits as Franky spoke of it makes no sense. Re-code everything so loosing a lvl affects milestones or does not affect it?
Such an item would only be useful to people who regret not level holding and the market for such an item would be a niche market rather than essential for everyone. Being as rare as a stat enhancer would not make it as valuable as a stat enhancer because it would be useful to fewer people.
I don't think it's worth development time even if it only takes a very small amount of development time. Rated down.
I would like an item like this. It gives the possibility to get to level 100 and get all the level merits and then it will cost a lot of money to get your level back to lets say level 15 and level hold. Sure, why not. I like it.
