Capping levels in Arena completely ruins an opportunity to keep weaker dinos viable for longer.

[lilac stag]

So I'm a player whose team consists of a mix of strong dinos and dinos I like, which aren't always objectively the best. I usually operate solidly in Library but can pop into Gyro at times. I'm skeptical of the increase in max dino level to 35 but one of my first thoughts was, "Hey, at least my level 35 Hadros Lux will perform better in Library now."

Only to realize my Hadros Lux will be capped at level 31 while in Library. The level increase creates an interesting opportunity to allow weaker dinos to perform better at higher levels, but the level cap ensures this won't be possible. If someone particularly loves an Epic dino, for instance, they'd need to be in Shores to play it at level 35?

The level increase presented a potential silver lining for people who liked to run weaker dinos. It would let them perform better at higher level. The arena level cap completely destroys this possibility.

Please reconsider the Arena-based level cap.

The whole point of arena locking was to prevent dropping from people who are top ranks,

[lilac stag]

Yes, which is an entirely different thing they did which isn't what I'm talking about here.

Didn't even lol since Aviary is still full of lvl max E5 dinos

[blissful snow]

The lvl capping actually helps with this issue

[blissful snow]

Give it time, it will balance out

[lilac stag]

So if someone wants to play a level 35 Iguanodon it's reasonable that they should only be able to do so in Shores?

[blissful snow]

It was just added, it might take a few months for all the e5s to move up

[blissful snow]

Raids and torny is where these go

[lilac stag]

Okay. Can you appreciate though that someone might want to play their level 35 Iguanodon in, say, Aviary, and that wouldn't be excessively powerful?

[ember cosmos]

Don't rlly think so tbh, the main complain was the lvl 30 and well we still have them available
And I just feel like the cap is going to act as a "lowering tool" so every dino higher is going to be at that lvl

If you have a lvl 35, it's going to be 30 in Aviary, so won't really change anything I think

[blissful snow]

It’s to make dropping less with it,

[ember cosmos]

Yeah I understand that, but I don't think there's a win cap after/on Aviary ?
If there's one my bad, but if not it's really not going to change anything

[blissful snow]

Just arena locking alone doesn’t stop them, some will stay within an arena, so by limiting the stats slightly that farther you go down it makes it less worth it

Droppers has been found down to 3k

Less levels equals less boosts also

when i just set my phone to battle and do something that's actually fun like play PS5, i don't change my team. i just let it play on its own and if i win i win, if i lose i lose and just tap battle again. i don't care what my score is. only time i care about my score is friday before the tournament i want at least library. then i do my takedowns or do my set it and forget it thing until takedowns are done and then i quit. i just want to run incubators. i don't need the dna, i don't need the boost, i just do it because it's nature to always have incs running. so as long as i can still fill my incs i don't care what they do lol

I'm more curious how lopsided tournaments will become now that five extra levels are coming.

That's why we actually encounters players like you , waiting for the timer to end and wasting others times yk that right, also the game isn't designed to be played on its own or even left when you doing something else, you need to do it manually instead of letting someone waiting the entire timer just for you to be on the ps5 or whatever
