Multiplayer trust system

[MistakeNot]

I know it has been brought up before, but given that the trust system exists and thus people can play solo, what would the downside be to multiplayer trusts? ie 3 people want to play a dungeon together but don't want to pug the 4th spot, or the same for 2.

There would be no real downside to have such a thing exist.
It would however very likely be a lot of work to make it happen, and take a lot of resources that would be better spent on other things. Extending the existing system to multiple players is probably nowhere near as easy as it may seem.

You think? I have thought about it a bit and I feel like you could just apply mechanics that are already there.
1. Make the npcs follow the leader of the party.
2. Adjust trust interface to allow filling a slot with a party member.
3. Apply ai as normal

I can't think of anything they would need to massively change. I mean it already supports a tank, healer, or dps as the leader so how would pulling one of the other slots out change it?

I am not trying to be dismissive I am really just trying to think it through.

I think the same yes. These NPCs operate no matter what role you take, so they are clearly not dependent on each other.

I agree, it seems logical that the AI would be the same no matter if you choose 1, 2 or 3 or them.

Especially if you are allowed to mix and match, the current full roster has several “all arounders” that would very easily fill
