Get On My Level Apollo Fight

[Fushi]

Was anyone else disappointed in not being able to pummel Apollo, even while on Get On My Level mode? The game was hyping up being able to just destroy him, then he was quite hard. It also makes him seem kinda hypocritical, cause he has to be just as high as, if not a higher level than you to put up that much of a fight, while he's throwing shade at you for cheating for a high level.

We'll work on that though there is two ways to go about it:
a) Apollo is on your level but doesn't act like you are overpowered
b) Apollo simply stays on the same level despite the "get on my level" option.

I'd rather do the a) option because some people might want to fight an Apollo that's on the same level as you.
If you want to pummel Apollo, don't enable the 'Get On My Level" option.

I'm on the boat that Apollo should be on my level if I enable "get on my level".

Or as a variant of a), perhaps have Apollo still act like you're overpowered the entire way through till the first PVP fight, at which point he suddenly realizes that his stats have increased to match yours. He'll probably be confused at first then maybe guess that Instatainment has implemented a new PVP feature where stats are equalized so that they can fight fairly, and maybe it wasn't in the patch notes or something. I feel like this would be cooler than have Apollo ignore your level if the "Get on my level" option is chosen.

100% this.
"new PVP feature where stats are equalized so that they can fight fairly" feels like a very fitting reason for him to be as strong as you.

I agree with the idea of having Apollo recognize his own level increase or ignoring yours being the best option. I think my biggest problem was just him criticizing you only to be the exact same himself

Or peharps he just realize after the fight that he has leveled up..... Like you know the boost items they are perfectly normal monster until you enter a fight them... Well I know that in reality when you use the scan they are not normal monster but you get the idea....

Alternatively you could just have it so Apollo rushed to grind up to your level with Jorgen maybe being concerned for his wellbeing? That would be funny too.
