madsalad said: Did we get an explanation of how Test #2 is working? What the level cutoffs are etc...?I didn't move SCL last time because the test scaling actually made it easier for me at current SCL (SCL8).
So I'm staying at the same SCL I was at for the last test, but that's lower than what I play at for roster based scaling...
SCL8 scales higher than my roster based scaling went.
SCL7 scales lower than my roster based scaling went.
For events I can use the 4* progression cover I'll go SCL7 until I develop some 5*s to usable/strong points and be happy for the decrease in time required to grind.
For events I don't care about the 4* progression cover, I'll probably go SCL4? I believe still offers CP rewards and I expect to be able to clear a good majority of the fights in one turn freeing up a ton of time.
The difference in rewards from SCL8 to SCL7 doesn't bother me because of the savings in time.

I'm staying at SCL8 because that's where I've been playing to actually progress. I wanted to see if it will be a viable option for me (Rank 76, 1200+ days played). And now with this change it will be a nightmare for me to stay here, and will have to nerf my own progress because of it. In fact, I doubt I'll be able to finish much of progression purely because after 1-2 clears I will be unable to keep going. I guess they want to make the SCLs as punishing as possible to dissuade f2p's without totally maxed rosters from playing at the highest tiers. I mean, what's easier? Overtuning nodes at SCL8, or I dunno, ADDING another level since levels 9 and 10 are perpetually in "Coming Soon" mode. To me it seems that this is once again a 2 steps forward, 1 back situation. A step back that is sure to make a large number of players unhappy. And no, I'm not talking about forumites.
