    well 10 people in a squad could be useful for clearing things such as frost faster. and the more runs that are possible. making all sorts of items easier to get.

    I fail to see how this could be viewed as a good idea. . . Open more PvE servers, then kill PvE. Do they really think people will endless hop PvE servers for open TW maps?

    Who knows, maybe they will do something to the instances/bosses to make them more difficult. And this would be REALLY helpful on World Bosses...

    I actually think this is a good decision but dunny why it would be 10 slots? Makes more sense to expand to 8 due to the two new TB classes. This will stop the other QQ about sins and psy not being invited to squads due to no room............maybe the 10 slots in squad is due to a new race with two classes coming out in the future b:laugh....very possible emo.

    Almost everyone is happy Frost was nerfed. Many people seem to think that changing Lunar was a good idea. Many people would disapprove of BH being removed.

    PvE has been dead since BH was introduced.

    Well if this happens, why would it ruin PvE?

    I already usually run TTs with four people, imagine having ten people in a TT squad, it's not going to be alot of drops for each person.. Same with Lunar, and I imagine frost would give you alot less experience with a ten person squad.

    Rebirth however, will be alot easier. This goes in line with the recent trend in pwi, where getting experience is easier by the day. I'm not sure why they've chosen ten people though, since there are eight classes eight would seem a natural number. I haven't done Warsong or Nirvana yet, so I can't really speak for those instances. Warsong however sounds like its extremely hard today, so an increase in squadnumbers might be good for this instance. And Nirvana I feel will fall into the TT/Lunar category, where the drops are already low, so why take even more people there to make the drops even harder to get.

    One reason I can think of that they are increasing the squad size to ten instead of eight, is that they are planing some new instance which will require/accomodate a larger squadsize. If this is something coming in the future, I'm all for it :)

    It's all about balance anyway, so saying this will ruin PvE is just not called for. What it will do, is open up new PvE possibilities. It just remains to see if they will utilize the opportunity b:pleased

    That's kind of my point. PvE is ALMOST dead now. This will pretty much be the final nail in the coffin.

    Add endless measures to make PvE beyond easy, yet add nothing to PvP on the PvE servers to make it the least bit interesting.

    BH is already easy. It just takes sooooo freaking long to do all 3 BHs. They should just keep it at 1BH a day -.-

    Haha :) Ok, you got a point. I don't do BHs so I missed that^^

    Well, sounds ok to me anyway, I don't do BHs because its a waste of coin and time to me. Having ten people in a squad would make it cheaper and faster, might give me enough of an incentive to do them. Knowing myself, it probably wont make much of a difference though b:chuckle

    Definitely agree with you on this. BH is extremely easy unless your entire squads full of guys who can't play at all.

    They shoulda kept at 1 a day. Half the time people are on they're doing BH. Keeping it at 1 is nice since it dosen't make everything a total grindfest and it's a nice excuse to go into a dungeon with squad and have some fun, but three's just overkill.

    BH may actually become harder as it will take longer to fully acomodate 10 people turning in, afking, etc. b:laugh

    However i would hope the difficulty level would be adjusted, along with drop rates, on instances. While i wouldn't put it past PW to simply update a feature without further considerations to game balance, the changes that would make this work are relatively few and simple. It wouldn't affect cash shop balance if done correctly, but it would have a huge impact on customer retention figures.

    On topic... 10 people... yeah rebirth will get easier, still will be a problem because a lot of noobs these days. I pretty much never rely on BH to level up... or I don't really care for leveling either. It will kill PVE? Thats why the game gets easier? XD. Now I understand why people saying PVE is easy now... you got to rely on full squad to PVE ? ~___________~ WTH?
