That's a different subject, that the ''Hard Mode'' isn't hard enough? But if that's your concern, that's something to bring up for the GM team to re-evaluate them and make them level 100s, etc.. But the idea was not that. Because that's not ''hard'', that's ''end-game''. Which is next level.
It being called ''hard mode'' and me being level 25 has nothing to do with each other. Fact of the matter is I'm using a level 80 NPC to fight level 60, 65 and 70 NPCs. So I don't see what I'm doing wrong. If your argument is that the NPCs are not strong enough to justify the naming ''hard mode'', that's a different subject altogether.
As for saying it should be illegal to ''ride the coattails of your NPC'', that's again a different subject altogether and has to do with what you can buy with your DC gained from legacy-ing a character. I bought a legal item and am using it legally lol.
If ya'll wanna make the argument that you shouldn't be able to buy DC NPCs that are higher level than your PC, that's an argument you can make, but again, different subject altogether and I bought it fair under current rules. Though if your argument is that it's ''cheap'', it'll be very hard for you to make that argument, because keep in mind the cost of a new level 25 PC is legacy-ing your maxed out PC, which is the biggest price you could possibly pay lol.
I gave up a maxed out, end-game character that was years in the making, had like 500 bill worth of items and like 500 DC worth of DC, and I gave that up for 100 DC lol. So the new PC having a bit of a headstart is barely an issue imo.
As for Arlong dying, if that's your problem, I already said I most likely won't manage to beat him, nd even if I did, it wouldn't be a kill, because you're not allowed to kill NPCs unless it's for a DF. So worst case, Arlong gets collected for bounty and ends up in Impel Down, which gives him all sorts of future potential for story.
So iunno what the issue here is at all. It's like I'm dealing with an emotional Arlong fanclub or something. >_>
So what, no transfering of DF either? Seems to be a spit in the face of starting at level 25, if you can just start off with a Logia and all of your equal level opposition has no Haki.
You're not understanding that the new PC is MEANT to start off with a bonus, cause you gave up your entire previous maxed out PC lol. If you wanna start off as level 25 with nothing, then just reset your PC normally?
Cause what you're insinuating is a slippery slope, half of the stuff in the DC shop would then need to be banned for purchase for the new level 25. For example, instead of a Seraphim, I could have also bought Zunesha for my level 25, and just crush islands on my way. So what, no Seraphim, no Zunesha, no Logias, no to half of Paramecias (cause having Diamond paramecia will make you unbeatable against other level 25s), no to genetic beast, no to super robot, etc etc..
So even if it comes down to the host, the host is following the story issued by the player
