    hmm nope, if they have to increase the members of same group, they should introduce a "raid" squad system, just like the one that there is in WoW.

    it consists in a "party of parties", this mean when u overnumber ur party members, a message will ask if u wanna enter a "raid" party. this way the overnumbered players will automatically join a second party, then a third and so on... and each player of each "raid" can see in little the hp and mana bars of players of same raid on screen.

    This way, you can set that no quests or istances could be done if in a raid party, but outiside, for PvP or world bosses, u can all join same raid party and see the position and hp mp bars of everybody.
    If you happy wanna be, against the wind you won't have to pee.

    I think it would be great to be able to have a rainbow squad. 1 of every race... It would be great to be able to help our younger faction members and not have to be the only higher lvls. Teach them how to work their characters as a team. Please consider this .. ty

    sheaex: Since you haven't read any of the other threads made on this subject. GM's have ALREADY STATED THAT SQUAD SIZE WILL REMAIN SIX PEOPLE NO MATTER WHAT GOES ON IN ANY OTHER VERSION OF PERFECT WORLD.



    Hope you can understand why i said "Fail troll is FAILTACTULAR" now, you fail troll.

    If there will be a raid squad, there should be limits. Like only limited to TW and world bosses. The rest, nty. I really don't care about squad of ten people, or even 100. I'd rather squad with 4 or less people, more control and smaller numbers do a better job anyways

    Ten people to a squad? Hell, I can barely handle 6 when I'm not doing it with faction members. Besides, that'd make things way too easy. BHes would be a lot faster, but still too easy. Also, it'd be hard to find that many people if they're getting conscripted ten at a stroke. Imagine the lack of clerics! Sheesh, there's been days when we thought all the clerics and barbs took a holiday at Disneyland.

    10 ppl in squad would be nice. that way the lvl 100 oracle nubs I ran into lately will have a better chance to do whatever a 6 ppl squad could do before packs and without genies.

    Actually no. People would insist on filling the 10 slots, which leads to the following issues:
    1. DDs getting even more screwed for drops in TTs
    2. Need for more than 1-2 clerics

    So in the end, you'd end up waiting a lot longer to fill the slots and find those clerics and you'd end up with all DDs reluctant to participate in any non-faction or friends-only TTs.

    That is, at the cost of making things ridiculously easy, you'd end up having to camp around more to fill the extra easiness.
    If you disregard what I say because of who I am or because of the contents of what I said, you are a fool.

    I love sarcasm! I miss those days... when you HAD to know how to play your class and work with others in order to play this game. Can we just find a new way to put an end to noobs at lvl 100 and encourage better team work as opposed to pleading for larger teams?

    On a side note.. Raid parties idea rocks... would make life so much cooler in TW.

    For the people who say it won't happen, you are wrong. Most likely it will happen, but why care? I can't even bother a squad with more than 4 people. Although it would make things easier WITH 4 more people. That'd make even less profit.

    However, there is a good side to the 10-man squad. Which is clearly world bosses and TW. Therefor I am neutral to this suggestion.

    I second the Raid idea; it's a good way to keep track of an army, and wouldn't **** up the current squad system.

    A bigger squad...well i read some of the replies and have found some valuable arguments...However...

    When they implemented the new races, i was really waiting for the higher squad number, without really much looking into the forum myself. The development has done a good job here, but for myself i think the squad size should only exceed when you got an all class squad, i.e = Wizard, BM, Cleric, Barb, Veno, Archer, there you will unlock the chance for the tideborns to access.

    However, i was thinking more of...not so varying level caps. More like +/-3 lvls between each lvl, where you may be lower/higher in the group to use this squad combination of 8 members.


    Well, many will disagree with me, but atleast it was a shot =)
