BioWare threw a nerdrage grenade in the midst of its Star Wars: The Old Republic community yesterday when it announced that as of Knights of the Fallen Empire, player levels will automatically scale down to the planet that they are visiting.

Among other things, this means that players will no longer be able to overlevel content and come back to roflestomp it. Naturally, this has triggered fierce debates on the forums and Reddit.

During the livestream, the studio also discussed how brand-new level 60 characters will be made, a legendary status tag for players who complete all eight class stories, cartel market companions, and a reworked group finder. The revised leveling process was also explained: Players who choose to start at level one will only have to do story and planetary missions to level to the cap, with all side missions made into optional activities.

You can watch the full developer livestream after the break.
