WoW is adding multiplayer Trusts....

[JTWrenn]

With Wow now adding multiplayer adjustable Trust dungeons, will Square Enix be re-evaluating this? Allowing for custom groups to go on runs with flexibility to fill in the spots is a key buy in point for me. I love the community in FF so am hoping this option will get opened up so I can play just me and my wife, with the occasional friend coming along as well.

Any chance of a change on this idea?

I left WoW over 10 years ago and nothing that repulsive corporation throws together would ever get me to come back. They are the true bottom of the barrel.

It would be a nice addition.
All SE would need to do is tune them a tiny bit more based on how many real players are there.

It would require an overhaul of the ai I think, but not a full replacement. Hard to say but obviously it's doable if WoW can roll it out as a mid expansion add on.

It's not a feature that would get me to play WoW, but it's a feature I've wanted in FF14 for quite a long time. I regularly only have a single friend online, and I'd love to be able to run a dungeon together at our own pace, relaxing in that comfortable way that only happens when you're alone with trusted friends.

Fingers crossed that the devs eventually add this to FF14!

A lot of people want it to scale ie. so you can have 2 NPC members so that you and a friend can do it with NPCs. It's been requested regularly on these forums.

I honestly could see it at some point. Between the Grand Company dungeon running thing, Chocobos, Trusts, and the old SMN Egi AI, surely they have SOMETHING they could throw together to make this work at least semi-effectively. Just have the party leader set up the run and any NPCs would follow and react to them like they do in those pieces of content. The only think I'm unsure about is if the healer AI would know to heal other party members, since the AI for those things may only heal their person (though I think your Choco will heal other people in party...so that AI is already there). The only other issue would be programming to avoid mechanics, but I feel like that's already covered with Duty Support and Trusts.

I expect this WILL come eventually, just not sure how long.

The other thing I'd like to see is being able to do solo duties with parties of up to 4. I know at least one husband and wife that game together, and one reason I they didn't stick with FFXIV was having to split up to do any story solo duty instead of being able to do them as a team.

WoW turns 20 next year so...anything to potentially bring more players in perhaps

Unless there is some new info, WoW "Delvings" is nothing like FF14 "Trusts". "Trusts" are going through actual instances with NPCS (plural). "Delvings" is running around (On Land) solo or with 1 or more players and an NPC (Singular) tagging along (Kind of like our Chocobos).

I think of WoW "Delvings" like a slightly more advanced LOTRO "Mission/Delving" with a tag along NPC added in.

Would it be nice to swap in players for NPCs here? Sure, but lets not conflate reality with fantasy in other MMOs.

You are thinking of a next expansion feature that is completely different. In patch 10.2.5 you will be able to do Dragonflight Normal dungeons with AI, this system is known as Follower Dungeons and as stated in by the topic creator will be able to adjust for a party and fill the missing role unlike the Trust system. Personally I would love if Trusts could adjust to my party and just fill in what I am missing instead of being completely solo.
