Restore 8-man Parties for Frontline

**Atreus** · 11-07-2019 02:24 AM

It's a pretty baffling decision to limit the ability to play with friends on a Massive Multiplayer Online Role-playing Game. Fair play to remove 24-man instances where that's an entire team's influence, but if we're only going to have 72-man games, there's no reason to restrict full parties.

I'm not much of a gambling man, but I'd place a lot of money in that players only interested in their Garo rewards were most upset about full parties. Well last I checked, they are not even in the picture anymore. Why invest in short-term players only interested in these rewards?

If you want to cater toward the solo player, or incentivize queuing solo, you can always look into adjusting the tome or wolf mark reward for using the roulette option, or add achievement-incentives for solo players.

Folks are still grouping together by being in the same Grand Company. To me, this is fair play, but why make things like this more difficult? Just restore full-parties. Keep this 4-man group nonsense to Rival Wings.

This is a singleplayer game.

No. Enforce Freelancer instead so these players that are circumventing the 8 man party removal stop all going to 1 GC, 1-2-3 queuing, and potentially ending up with 24 of them rolling a match.

Halving party sizes literally did nothing. What they really needed to do was have premades pit against each other instead of together even if they are in the same GC.

Worst Idea ever.
Needs to just go back to how it was pre 5.1
8 Man AND 24s

I'll amend my statement. I do think they should bring back 24's but there's no need for full 8 man party's. There's also no need to continue to allow premades to flock to 1 GC and solo sync queue in an attempt to deliberately circumvent the 8 man removal and stomp on pugs to win pad (which some of them ARE doing on Aether). I would be in complete favour of SE enforcing Freelancer. Do it Square. Dooooo it. #EnforceFreelancer
