Duty Support for MSQ Trials when..?

[Tanis_Ebonhart]

They could, but would need to program the ai for each trial or might even have to nerf some ir remove abilities that the AI cannot handle.

I fail to see how. The benefits so far have been more than evident, so on what do you base this?

The fact that we are getting less end game content because developers are busy working in duty support.

What are you basing these evident benefits on?

I, for one, can't give you a reason - I feel the Duty Support system is a good idea.

I mean - hate to say it - but are those who bemoan SE "trying to turn this game into a single player game" the same people who also criticise poor performance from other players in group content?

Some seem to want their cake and to eat it too, frankly.

The best case scenario for the game is to let people who refuse to improve at the game (or people with disabilities), do the entire story solo, rather than dumb down the game for everyone
So i think duty support for all MSQ content is a good idea.
I'd even go so far as to say let the NPCS res the player so they literally can't lose

And this can be confirmed....how exactly?

Heres one. Its 2am and you cant get anyone to queue after 20 minutes. Hence duty support benefit.

Duty support with NPCs really adds to story immersion which is why I run new dungeons with NPCs at first. It also gives me time to explore the dungeon and enjoy the scenerie. This is usually not possible with other players because everyone is just rushing from boss room to boss room. I can also learn boss mechanics at my own pace without the negativity of other players. The system also helps me whenever wait times are too long, so that is another plus in my opinion.

Therefore, I really appreciate the duty support system and I would like to see it expanding to trials as well. The Mothercrystal duty was already a good start. I loved the interactions between the NPCs!

who refuse to improve at the game

Objective opinion not backed up by any real facts.

When you have an actual point to make, let me know. So far, not seeing it.

Would love if they implement this. Currently on an alt, longest "average" wait time for a trial was 102 min, at peak time on EU.

Agreed.

Its taking time for some of these people to understand the difference between an MMO in the facet "It has a lot of people in it' to "Everyone should WANT to be social, should WANT to only play with other people all the time" whilst in the same breath sneering that the "player skill level is appalling"

You cannot "force" people to be social.

The disconnect is...amusing.

Ive DONE instances with squadrons and with duty support both. VERY happy with the results so far, dont see any reason why it shouldnt be expanded further.

I doubt endgame bot farms care either way. The bots probably go through the trials with other bots already or have a higher leveled bot do the trial for them unsync'd.

It's a shame that you'd use that as an excuse in order to hinder real players.

real players xD
