Four player super sidekicking

Instead of having just two people liked for the xp sharing, there should be at least four players able to link up so that if you have more than one friend that plays you can link up and lelvel your characters together. Also being able to link after level five would be nice too... but only if they are close to the same level... say a level ahead or behind or after level five only same levels can link.Thats just my thoughts would be cool haha or up to eight people... super team haha

A team of 4 high levels and 4 sidekicks does exactly the same thing. No need for extras.

I've kind of thought it might be nice to be able to sidekick one more person, however what might be more feasable is to *average* three characters levels - exemplaring down to the middle for the highest, and up for the lowers.

Either way, probably not gonna happen due to balance issues and such.

I think the OP is referring to level pacting, not sidekicking.

The devs have actually stated that they would like to open up level pacting to more than 2 people when they first put the mechanic in game. The issue was that they wanted to start it small so that they could find out if anyone was going to exploit it much. It's arguable that some people did. Either way, they've already considered it.

P.S. To the OP, please get your terminology correct next time.

I've always wanted for a high-level character to sidekick AT LEAST two lower-level characters. Practically, this is because I've been in SK hell so, so many times when I'm sidekicking a friend of mine and then another friend logs on. Oh, my... We're all different levels, so a relogging shuffle starts as we try to find a workable combo, eventually depriving at least one person of the character he wants to play at the moment, or alternatively putting ourselves through the horrible missions in the Architect. If I get killed by vegetables one more time I'm going to punch somebody!

I also like as a conceptual thing. Yes, a hero with a sidekick is... Well, pretty much Batman and Robin, but there are other equally good applications of this. I remember someone once complaining about Ninja and how weak they were in the low levels, saying how you only have three squishy Genin and a Jounin to pick up the slack, which immediately put a smile on my face as I remembered the beginning arcs of Naruto

The point, though, is that a single mentor taking care of two or three newbies is actually a pretty common theme, at least to my experience, and is actually pretty interesting practically. I've often found that, with a very low-level sidekick, I end up having to essentially play for two, which can really weigh on some of my weaker characters. With three weak sidekicks boosting your spawns, that can become catastrophic, requiring a truly gifted mentor to pull off. Which is GOOD! All too often a mentor/sidekick duet will feel like a couple of peers linked only by a distance tether. I prefer when the mentor is TANGIBLY protecting and aiding the sidekick, which more sidekicks would really help facilitate.

In short, more sidekicks, please!

Level pacting is exactly what I meant. I forgot what it was called at first so I called it super sidekicking.

It would be nice though... I have two other brothers that play and only being able to level pact with one sucks... especially when we are trying to all stay in the same level range on someone plays more than the other and levels up to 20 and the nother is onlynon seven. sucks in a way.

...someone will always find an exploit... thats what happens in games. Its up to the developers to patch and fix the it. It would be awsome though I think.

Level pacting should be increased.

Yes. It could be exploitable. However if you're willing to powerlevel whilst gaining 1/8th XP at a time: Feel free. It'll take you weeks to get anywhere at it, meanwhile the Devs are still getting money on the accounts that are offline.

I thought it was increased to 4 people already.
