PQ Unlimited MAX lvl -with- Penalties???

i dont like this but maybe increase the level range for kpq
!!!!!or even better other pq buffs!!!!!

 

Maybe locking skills you didn't supposed to have, like lock 2,3 and 4 job skills from KPQ, 3 and 4 job for LPQ etc.
Seems to hard to make something like that (because the damage range needs to be changed too), and probably it'll never come to live, but it is a fun thing to think
Staff already have some plans on mind for this year to PQ's, it's better to just wait and hope something good.

Personally i don't like that idea, too custom and people want to flex their job on PQ's

 

Limiting Jobs/Skills that are useable in the PQ is probably too custom or having X amount of hits kill mobs also seems "eh". So instead how about just put on a "debuff" on higher level players that lasts the duration of the PQ.

The Debuff takes AWAY weapon / magic attack / and other stats. <- I see a lot of issues with this personally so I'll suggest more.

OR

Only allow players to wear PQ Level Appropriate gear. For example: If you're doing KPQ, your gear that your character is wearing can only be Level 1 - 30. <- How would we enforce this? is what I'm thinking as potential problems.

So if I'm a Night Lord (for example) , I will have to go to the Kerning Weapon/Armor store, and buy low level gear. (and scroll it if deemed necessary). Of course they keep their STR DEX INT and LUK stats. So that might still be an issue.

OR

Another suggestion I have is to have the NPC of the Party Quest hand out "custom gear" that the higher level player [based on their overall Job (4th...3rd...2nd...)] has to wear for the duration of the PQ. This gear SHOULD expire after.. let's say an hour or so. I'm thinking this custom gear should try it's best to limit players damage for the duration of the PQ even with their 2nd/3rd/4th job skills. Although This is probably very tedious for Dev's and players alike. (Again not sure how to enforce/force higher level players to actually wear this gear/prevent them from de-equiping it mid-PQ)

Other than that... Jump quest Skill restrictions but tweaked?

You know how in some maps (JQs), certain skills are not allowed? I was wondering if that could also be applied to the PQ maps. So for KPQ (again as an example), Only 1st and 2nd job skills are allowed.

"Only Teleporting Skills are Allowed in this Map"/"Skills are not allowed in this map" kind of vibes but it will be:

"Only 1st and 2nd Job Skills are allowed for Kerning Party Quest"

That's all I got tho. Maybe if we mix match and tweak some of the suggestions, we can figure out something. Or just wait! I'm sure things will get better soon for PQers.

 

There's no workable solution to bringing your overleveled character into PQs. You either have to make too many custom changes or you "break" the PQ by being too strong or having skills you shouldn't have yet.

If you want to experience the PQs you can make another character for it (PQ mule) and if you want to obtain the PQ rewards on you higher leveled characters you could make the rewards tradeable within account (see WS/CS right now).
