[quote="MONSTER"]People can still lvl int/con if a cap was on hsoma, as for dsoma a cap so early would kill its usercount as there is nothing much todo other than level and attend once a week events if one was capped and the other wasnt it would not be fair and i wouldnt like to see dsoma die so nope[/quote]

[quote="CAPSTORE"]Why are people still going on about it. Stop moaning everything's fine as it is. Concentrate on your own character and dont worry what anyone else is doing. Every other day I'm see'ing threads telling admins to change this or that. If it's not broke why fix it.[/quote]

[quote="NAMENCO"]The idea of a poll is to see what the majority of the usercount think... (Its early days yet but so far 70% of votes seem to think that something could use changing, so something obviously everything isnt fine as it is) Once you have voted, i would appreciate if you refrain from posting in this thread, and turning it into a "omg people cant stop complaining, noobs bla bla, dont change anything" type of thread, thats not why i made this poll / thread.[/quote]

[quote="CAPPILIO"]Ok, i apologise for the earlier post. it was early morning and i kind of ranted because i had to wake up and go to work. I didn't really explain the reason for my rant. I like many of the user count here, have been here from the old days of esoma. i love the game and ever since the original hack imo it ruined everything. i was all excited about the idea of private servers and yeah it was great...... for a while After a handful of servers and hours of gaming it became apparent that the game had been destroyed. the community makes the game if you don't have a decent user count, well then you don't have anything really. Iv played enough servers to realise that Fast Rates / Level Caps just don't work. Server after Server failed and died. I made a decision to stop playing the game until somadev team officially released this. Now this server is here i really hope that this game will be around for the long term, This is a marathon not a sprint. And i think that anything introduced along the lines of level caps will just be detrimental All a level Cap is going to do is lower the user count. all because certain players want to be able "be the best" on the server and get pissed off that they cant catch up. we cant afford to lose the community... lose the community and you lose the game. I for one don't really care if some guy wants to spend 23 hours a day grinding.... yes he will be a higher level than me... that's great. but i "try" to have a life. sorry that what i posted you don't agree with but iv been a part of this community since i was a kid, iv now got kids of my own. so i don't want to see anything spoil it when its took so damn long to get here, freedom of speech is a bitch like that sometimes.

[quote="AKAINU"]@cappilo, i posted in the other thread in reply to your post, simply because its poitness to have 2 threads on the same thing, see the other thread[/quote]

[quote="CAPPILIO"]@akainu sorry mate, what post are you referring too? [/quote]

[quote="CYROX"]I think your poll is missing an option. I believe something needs to be done. But I don't think lvl caps are the answer. Something like increased rested xp between lvls 20-50 would help a lot. I'm sure there are other ideas that could help without introducing caps. [/quote]

[quote="LURIFAX"]I find the poll useless tbh. Its clearly created to a specific group of players, and not the current playerbase. Why you ask, well it asks a question, you only have a chance to answer/have a openion about, if you know the context. If your a new Soma player, your lost.[/quote]

[quote="SHADOW"]A level cap would be the very last option in a list.[/quote]

[quote="CYROX"]Thinking about it more. I would have removed all weapons above the original 100odd skill weapons. Reducing damage output massively. I would have then implemented these items through patches in stages. A lot like esoma. This way ppl could still level as normal but the gap would be reduced through damage output. I would also re introduce the magic damage cap. I know this affects rvr but that leads me on to my next point. As removing weapons at this stage is not possible then I would suggest also capping melee damage. These caps can be higher we or removed down the line. Therefore lvling will still mean your the strongest and benefitting from a time investment. But it reduces the gap and avoids the casuals being 1 shot. [/quote]

[quote="S0RCERER"]Nothing needs changing, you want to be a strong player? Invest the time - that simple. You don't have the time to invest? Well then you're in the same boat as 90% of the player base... What is wrong with there being people of differing power? Nothing! It makes it interesting.[/quote]

Just seems a case of I can't play that much better slow everyone else down who plays more than I do boo hoo type situation. I voted no because I don't believe there's anything wrong with the current levelling, if someone wants to become better they have to play more and if they can't play more then oh well. Doesn't mean there's something wrong with the system. [/quote]
