Is this a bug? Someone in my group was level 22! Thats not part of the missions anywhere is it? Im just slightly confused. I didnt notice untill after the person disconnected and i took a quick screenie
Here:
I saw a level 22 player
Synthos
iotc247
Its got to be a bug because how can it not say his professions. Notice it just says Lvl 22 not W/Mo22 or something else?
Madjik
it's likely connected to his sudden disonnect. It's not unusal for strange things to happen during a sudden disconnect in any game.
Theneler
No I've seen that before. One group i was in once, had two ppl, that just had names. Not classes or anything, but they weren't LD, cus they did the whole mission with us.
Synthos
Possible exploit you suppose? What level were they?
sgtcurly
Were they by chance NPC's?
I am not that far in the game, but maybe that is what it is...NPS's

I just opened that in a paint program and zoomed in..I don't think it's fake, and if it is it's a bloody good one. 
It's most likely a bug, as if it was an npc it would have been under allies rather than party members.
Edit: Sorry for trying that, but I like to be certain..of course I did not mean to imply you would lie to us like that.
Second Edit: I just realised..it can't be an npc anyway, as they do not often make a habit of disconnecting.

I think he was asking if it could have been a henchman. At any rate, if it were, it would have had thier class and (hencman) next to the name; i.e lv3 Mo Alesa (Healer Henchman). Furthermore i dont recognize that name as any of the henchmen.
Synthos
nah.. i have the whole screenshot if you want to see it.
Its sort of a wierd shot, lol.. The camera was kinda in a mountain a bit but yeah.

Palidor
It's somekind of bug with the disconnecting.. I saw the same thing, lvl 28 after the player got d/c.
Could it be that the game counts the lvl over the 20 (from the gained exp) but always shows it just 20 to the players?

Ooooh, I wouldnt say they dont disconnect often btw. They seem to like taking a break for a few hours and hiding inside mountains. Thats close enough in my book
Manderlock
I was going to come in here claiming the OP was a fool, but after seeing who it was (synthos is not someone that would just make something up) and seeing that it was not "paint shoped" I will not.
I think that Palidor hit the nail on the head. Its a bug that will show the lvl you could be if the lvl cap wasent 20. Only thing i can think of.

It could be people working for Arenanet or Ncsoft because they probable would be put up to a high rank above everybody else and with the best stuff or it could be a bug.

the should put character level (Skill level) in brackets next to it, would look kinda spiff,
cause what about us nuts who have done every secondary class quest, and can use every spec line/skill at will cause we're so lazy we farmed up that many skill points.....
not like I'd use my ele/war but I could lol
that and it'd just look funny to see, 20(900)
(Note: Yes I have entirely too much free time, and no I don't have every skill on 1 char yet, but getting there fast)

Maybe Arena developers they are testing the cap when they raise it LOL

It's probably an NPC.
In certain parts of the game, you can team up with Devona, Mhenlo, Aidan, and Cynn. They don't have [henchman] or their class next to their names.
Though, the disconnect is odd. Maybe your team leader kicked them out?

Don't henchmen usually have Name[TYPE OF HENCHMEN HERE]

I'm going to say it's not an NPC for a specific reason. NPCs get a special place on your party bar. They go into the Allies section at the bottom. The only thing I can think of is perhaps if the game reads your "true" level when you disconnect. What I mean by true level is this.
you hit lvl 20. now you gain exp twards skill points.
After 1 skill point is earned, your "true level" as the game sees it at least, is lvl 21. After 2 skill points it's 22, and so on and so forth.
Also, henchmen don't go over 20 as far as I'm aware, and they would have their class and such next to them. When was the last time a henchmen disconnected or ditched your group anyway?

Kai Sa is a player. In fact, he's a level 20 W/R, currently standing in the Thirsty River staging area, and he's a member of the guild XLAW. (Just call me Dreamsmith, P.I.

It must have been a disconnect bug...

I played AC2 for quite sometime before all the nerfing they did the very first time which messed with people's characters and many people left the game. However, before all that occurred randomly in groups doing missions we would run across a Dev or someone involved with testing and doing things with the game. In this case we were in a PvP zone and he challenged us. In AC2 our whole group went after him and he sat there and laughed. We couldn't hurt him then he killed us all. I'm not saying that this happened here, but just saying it could be a possibility. Who knows but I will agree with the bug idea until we actually see or hear more about characters with a level higher than 20.
Master Elyas
roflmao... i would love to bury some of the GW devs...
Jackathan
I always hated it when henchmen disconnected on me right before I finished a mission 
B@!T
My bet: The engine continues to count levels up to a higher level cap, just in case of a future level cap increase, but until then labels the player as 20. When he disconnected, the game stopped displaying the class and level label for a moment and you saw level he could actually be.
So I guess I agree with the general consensus.

Maybe there's a cheat code....

The character name was "Lvl 22 Kai Sa" notice how the L is capitalized.
Too easy and not worthy of a thread. Sigh.

Lvl 20 Pet Tedz is also fake... OMG i got a 1337 hax0r pet...
Na i think like the rest its just that it keeps on counting... and i think for a good reason, because (IIRC) you need more xp for the "virtual" lvl 22 then for the "virtual" lvl 21 ... so the levels have to have different names for the game to keep them apart... so the game keeps counting but for us it stops at 20...

No, I believe it's the same Kai Sa I saw earlier today, standing around in the Thirsty River staging area trying to get picked up for a group. And he's only level 20. Obviously, there's a display bug that can occur when you disconnect sometimes. It may even be as some have suggested: he's filled his XP bar twice and gotten two more skill points since reaching level 20, and somehow that fact becomes visible if you disconnect under the right circumstances. Should go back and ask him...
kaya
just fyi i just talked to him just a sec ago. lol! very nice guy. i figured he was chinese cause of his name, and i know a little so i asked him what lvl he was. he's lvl 20 and he said he's lvl'd twice since he's been lvl 20. and he is indeed a warrior. that's about all i understood.
PieXags
Yeah it was a bug true enough, a cool bug though. One time some guy asked me to party up in Kryta and it said he was a lvl 1 r/e, obviously I declined this party invitation while pondering about how the hell someone like that was even here, as it's impossible to be that far at lvl 1...then he joined up and was lvl 16, go figure.
Neat though, if nothing else.

It's numbers, doesn't actually mean he's level 22.
I think this thread should be closed, the correct information has been layed down and now everything else drifting is little chit-chat.

Not a dev, ally, npc or anything else. Just a simple error caused by a sudden disconnect. Plain and simple.

Mine would show 30+ then, but it probably won't happen to me. :P
