[dev1047] Thoughts/Feedback on "Legion"

[Greatguardian]

Its not going to really bring back large scale linkshells because there simply isnt enough content to do that is large scale. You are going to make a group at most that will go around the same time. If you get 18-36 people in your shell, what else are you going to do? Everything else is built around low man in the game and as it stands with voidwatch, people tried to make linkshells based around that and most failed.

If all content from here on out is large scale based, make those type of linkshells will come back, but for now, most people will either A) Shout. B) Have smaller groups merge together to accomplish the event.

As long as there are enough shouters doing it, no one will want to make it based around linkshells.

I doubt it will bring new linkshells into the picture, but large linkshells from the past most certainly still exist today on Cerberus. ElectricMayhem, Teletubbies, KoN, and Armada can easily field the numbers for Legion unless something dramatic has changed that I don't know about. If CaptainCaveman, WhirlingWind, or the Nerfed Reshell still exist, they might be able to participate as well with some minor recruitment.

Most of these shells have survived the past year without any large group events at all. They're just a collection of people who enjoy doing events together. Most already have their own mini-groups and cliques that do lowman events, with the whole shell only gathering for large-scale NMs like Voidwatch anyways. New large-scale content only gives them something to do as a linkshell again, which is hardly a bad thing.

Besides, I can't imagine the headache it would be to try to deal with rare treasure pooled drops in a pickup setting. There's a reason people didn't do pickup Fafnirs.

It all hings on how good the point rewards are. If they are decent or are attractive niche peices people would be willing to pug it. Thats what I feel people are missing when looking at this. If the gear is on the same level as assult gear (when it was released) then pugs will do it. Now if you can only go twice a week then you will be more likely not to risk joining a pug and waiting for your LS to run.
