Players connot join the party while you are engaged in combat

[Xenor]

you mean the same dodore that has being solo'd, duo'd, and trio'd since way before the patch that made it loleasy?

No one was soloing Dodore in January. But yes certain THM abilities are over powered, doesn't mean an NM is easy however because not everyone had the luxury of THMs tanking it back then. Solo/duo strategy is quite different than when you're bringing a linkshell made up of a variety of classes, sometimes with no THM at all.

and once again people are willing to take things that make the game less fun because they are afraid. i had the same worry of zerging, but was looking at more of once the battle starts the party gets locked so only people in the party could rejoin, but not let in new members. that would solve the same worry without the keeping dc'd people out of the fight.

Can't say I'd disagree with that.
