TOTo-TAK

[BiggsWedge]

Tangentially related to this topic, but... in 1.19 we will relax the restrictions on the number of players that can take part in an instanced raid. We will change it so that a party of 2-4 can tackle Toto-Rak, and a party of 4-8 can take part in Dzemael.

Is there a reason why Toto-Rak can't be equipped to handle a full party? I think 2-4 people is great but can you imagine being able to bring 2-8 people, it would be insane (if the difficulty was higher). I also like the idea of being able to bring a light party into Dzemael, I don't know how many times I'd fill up my A&B groups and still have people asking to be put on the standby list.

This new feature will definitely alleviate some of the pressure off of Linkshell leaders and their officers; it will make it so people could form a group and go casually (I imagine the difficulty would be lowered, if not; just killing the mobs in there for sp/xp would be good enough I guess).

I think that a feature should be added as to where the party leader can choose the difficulty before entering. Some people might want Batraal to be a little easier, while I'm sure some people that are used to the dance by now want it a little more challenging, maybe add more Skele's or make the ghosts pop more often. Also I think we should be given a looting system of some sort and I hope everyone agrees with me.

If they add 5-8 in totorak, it would requires alot of adjustment and balancing to keep it challenging for the extra people, tons of people will get mad if they decide to spend time on this rather than other important things ingame.

No, to the easier dungeons, keep current difficulty, if they wish to add something like heroic mode in the future, sure.

Dont forget that if you have 8 people for toto-rak you can just split into 2 groups and have more shots at gear and stuff =P

Will the difficulty scale with the number of participants or will it be constant?

Of course. Going in with 7 will be harder than going in with 8. Going in with 6 will be harder than going in with 7 etc.

Toto-Rak is gonna be packed of people seeking Torturer's Monocles after the patch..

[Estellios]

That's cause the monocle is so stylish! Of course maybe they will add other monocles, I'm hoping for some higher rank crafted ones.

I was hoping for a response on the party search feature. That effects so many more aspects of the game than just the dungeons but it's nice to see the alleviation of entry requirements.

I know they've already said it but they also need to fix the party member dc'd issue where they can't re-enter. Sooner rather than later would be preferable.

[Estellios]

I thought a fix to that was coming this patch? I know we had a dev post on it but it was a while ago.

They should scale all Members/gear down to R25 >.>

It'll just turn into an R50 CON walking 7 R25s through dungeon.

[Estellios]

You can already steamroll with a R50 anyway. People initially complained a lot about it, but after it was implemented most people wanted to do the dungeon at r25-30 anyway.
