Patch 1.17 Notes

**Kazimir** · 04-15-2011 06:17 AM

# [dev1020] The maximum number of party members has been reduced from 15 to 8.
The strength of several notorious monsters has been adjusted to coincide with this.
# [dev1020] Players now receive enhancing status effects when in a light party (4–7 members) or full party (8 members).

* Comradery (light party)
Maximum HP and MP increased by 5%
Physical and magic accuracy increased by 5%
* Strength in Numbers (full party)
Maximum HP and MP increased by 10%
Physical and magic accuracy increased by 10%

Are you guys serious with this? Way to completely noob up the game. Everything dies too fast as is and the NM's can be easily taken with less than 8 people, we don't need them to be weaker.

Yeah, they're already pretty easy even with only 8 people.

I think this is more about the scaling of the guildleves. An eight-man party could get wiped on a three-star guildleve if they have the wrong party composition, or are simply too low rank. This improves the chances of survival in situations where players are noobs, or just being retarded.

Could be that they are stronger.... It would only make sense. If they are weaker, yeah, I agree, but I doubt it.

I know right? It's almost as if they want to give incentives to party...

Those buffs are most likely there to keep the party sizes in future content under control:

-It'll be harder to do 4-7man content with less than 4, because it'll be designed around having 4-7 people with the 5% buff.
-It'll be harder to do 8man content with less than 8 people, because it'll be designed around having 8 people with the 10% buff.

I'm sorry that your already soloable/duoable Notorious Monsters that drop junk are going to remain easy to kill. Says nothing about the future direction of the game, however. Especially when we're undergoing battle, party and job changes, and there isn't any content that has been made with these new systems in mind yet.

Ya you can thank 70+% of all casual players on here. Thanks to most casual players who want a easy game that what SE is doing i can care less as long as they add something hard for hardcore players if not then this going to be a pretty easy game.
