Magic said: This change was designed for one purpose - remove softcapping from the game. I think it work well in that regard as players with softcapped rosters can't compete in scl8 (and some - even in scl7). Both thumbs up for this.
moss04 said: As others have already stated, SC ranks are a horrible way of gauging roster strength. If they are going to have node difficulty/level be fixed by SCL's they should instead determine access to the SCL's by averaging the level of your top 5 or 6 characters.So if SCL 8 is level 300-400 your top 6 characters (including weekly boosts) should have an average level of perhaps 300 (for example, not sure what the best numbers would be).
KC_Hammer said: I am currently in the middle of the 3* to 4* transition and I was able to get full progression in SCL8 just fine, but now am suddenly not able to get the same level of rewards because I can't compete with level 400 enemies. I have most 3* and two 4* champs, and my only reasonable avenue to 4*s is through command points. I do not like this change, and will not renew my VIP if it stays.
