More levels?

[electraheart]

Do you think that Nintendo will ever implement more levels? As in beyond just 50? I am aware it's not really a major concern right now especially since I'm pretty sure most people haven't reached 50 and that 50 is still a pretty big/solid number...
But I just wonder if anyone thinks that they'll ever do an update with a higher level like 75 or something in the far future... or if they're done.

I don't think so, or at least hope they won't go higher. Even going from 44 up one takes a few hours in turf, over one or two in ranked, if the matches drag out the full 5 mins (which mine always do). i'm halfway through 46, and though am tempted to grind to 50, am happy with the unlocks i do have, and will play more than enough to get there.

But it's not supposed to be a grind. more like a time-based reward, saying, "hey, you played for this long? cool! take this thing i nicked from someone's closet. keep on inking!" I don't like grinding, but that's just my prerogative when they lock cool items behind a level cap.

These are pretty massive understatements honestly. Getting from 44 to 45 takes 600 points. Which is the equivalent to 60 knock outs in ranked. If you won EVERY ranked game by knock out in just 3 minutes it'd still take you 3 hours to get from 44 to 45, which doesn't count time spent in the lobby itself.
Add another minute for the time spent in between lobbies, and assume you win about half by knock out and realistically you're looking at about 8 hours just to get from 44 to 45.

The current level cap is perfectly reasonable. I'd be fairly surprised to see anyone who hit level 50 have under ~250 hours of game play in the game. I may even go as far to say I'd be surprising to see someone with under 300 hours in the game hit the level cap. And as such it'd be rather surprising to see it raised again.

They might increase the level cap to 99, but I don't see them going further than that unless they make more room on the screen or shrink the numbers.

Right now I would say there isn't a need to, as lvl 50 is already so time consuming to get as @ThatsSo pointed out. I think it would be great if they added challenges in story mode for more unlockable items, much like the amiibo missions, but the requirement being lvl 30, 35, etc. For such a big time sink, the game offers you very little out of leveling, except for maybe the Octoshot and Captain's Hat (neutral brand damage hat is great). Or maybe we can see another reward from Spyke, like another way to get sea snails, except instead of 18-24, 1-2 at a time.

But the Armor Helmet Replica is slightly better looking than the Gas Mask (i don't really mind the gas mask tho), and the Armor Boot Replicas are the only 3 star Ink Saver Main shoes availible if you don't wanna use snails.

Most weapons don't even consider anything but Ink Resistance, and if they aren't considering it they are running Damage Up or Quick Respawn. Ink Saver Main shoes are kinda irrelevant. Armor Helmet Replica is level 25? That's still 1-2ish hours per level, so 5-10ish hours of playtime, just to get a slightly better looking Tenacity hat. #Worth?

tru, but there were times where I was running a weapon with monstrous ink consumption and I wanted an inksaver main in and i couldn't fit it anywhere else on my build becuase of what items i had
