Thread: DEV REQUEST: Can we have 5 man dung / 10 man raids in 4.0?

No thanks I like the smaller groups.

Yeah, I kind of hoped this thread was about 10 man raids where half the raid poops themselves in fear/ excitement.

Sums up my sentiments perfectly.

I would be ok with this. I played Everquest for 10 years, 6 person party works well. Just balance the content around 5 person parties and then allow group content to be played with 4, 5, or 6 people. Best of both worlds.

Seriously people, choose your abbreviations better.

Dung has been an abbreviation for dungeon since FF11.

what do you guys think?

I would like support roles reworked and have:
1 Healer
1 Tank
1 Support DPS
2 Pure DPS

People said that it would make queues longer for dps. I disagree because I think that:
A. If support plays more like support, more people will actually play it.
B. More support to fill those roles will result in similar queues to what we have now, not worse.

I have NEVER heard "dung" as an abbreviation for "dungeon" in FFXI. Unless it's one of those Seekers of Adolyn things, I never got on that train.

I can see this as being an interesting change for 3.0 - 4.0, where everyone knows their roles well and it wouldn't hinder new players from learning. My only real concern would be future queue times once earlier dungeons with this design are outdated.

Didn't FFXI allow for more freedom in choosing your party?
