Really need a level drop ability now

Infrared

The recent nerfs have made it clear that 4*s are not going to be significantly better than 3*s. Having a fully levelled 4* is now a disadvantage because of PVE scaling and the new roster based PVP matchmaking system. I would rather not have to sell my 4*s and start over, so can we please have the ability to drop levels from our characters?

Agreed even if it is only applies to bringing 4*s down to 166 and the option is available for a limited time.

I posted the same request here viewtopic.php?f=7&t=25857&p=319390#p319390 when they announced the changes to having "teams" boosted for PvP. The changes to MMR make it even more desirable, and of course the recent nerfs to 4thor, xforce, and rags all make it desirable as well. I don't want to sell and start over, I just want to de-level or de-cover, for little to no recouped value, because it is a distinct disadvantage to have character A higher than level X.

I had made this same comment in my alliance. With 270s not as powerful, the scaling in pve will be atrocious. I kept my Thora and XF at 166 for the longest time because I didn't want to face the increased scaling. I finally pulled the trigger about a month ago and leveled them to 270. PVE is almost near unplayable, therefore, unenjoyable. The only upside was that, now I was playing in the top 10 of pvp on a regular basis.

Now they've changed the mmr in pvp which makes it a really really sloooow climb.

I'm not going to sell my 4*s, it's such a waste in iso for leveling, HP spent in shields to hop, and the sheer amount of time to get them to 270.

I'd consider de-leveling them, that way I would have only wasted the iso in leveling them, since I get to keep my hard earned covers.

Honestly, the devs just should reduce the insane scaling now in pve since the 4*s really aren't that more powerful than 3*s. Why punish those of us who earned the 4*s covers. (or even bought them because, after all, those are the players supporting this game)

Or just change MMR. Have it average your levels of top four characters -up to- 166. If anyone levels anything beyond that, it means they got a 4*. Good for them! It apparently won't significantly help them in PVE with their power level, so it makes them more worthwhile to own.

Either way, scaling needs to be changed. But it's needed that change for months.....
