Re: 8 Man Groups

8 person groups are not going to change. We will be instituting a Raid like chat system so multiple groups can coordinate better. As soon as we have more information, we will post about it.

Thats all well and fine. But I would like to see a 8 person vehicle. We have a 8 man limit on groups and a 7 man limit on vehicles. Off topic, but with a 8 man vehicle would make things so much easier to transport a full group in one vehicle...

Makes perfect sence to have a 8 man vehicle instead of 7. Why this was not thought of is way beyond me....

so whats your stance now rothin? the raids are nothing more than a chat sys, what is the point, we can create our own chat rooms already.

personaly I would like the raid system they had in EQ limited people from exploiting it for XP since the same amount of xp got devided between the whole raid and not per person. Same as it allowed us to work very well together on orginization as such adding a raid channel is nothing new on ahazi we where making channels to use as raid channels between guilds for awhile (least rebel side) tho I would like a way to atleast view friendlies hp atleast maybe if it appeared over their head without having to click on them or a % value of how bad they are hurt. Thus allowing doctor's to do better tho I think this should only be added one way per faction meaning only the friendlies of your faction you would be able to see thus making it a non targeting tool for the enemy to focus on someone who is hurt.

What is the point in creating a Raid like chat? I can do that now with the current chat system and create my own channel.

The explanaination on the 8 person grouping restriction does not answer the question as I can take 2 - 8 person groups and decimate a particular MOB if I wanted right now...we just don't get the fun of using the lottery system or even use the built in group chat.

spread the word, not alot of people visit these forums, i just copy pasted this into MEK's forums.

People will see it now that it's on the Dev Tracker (like me)

Could we at least see some kind of lvl increase for the case when you've got 8 lvl 80 characters in the group? Maybe a gradually increasing system?:

# of lvl 80's in group new group level
---------------------- ---------------
2 84
3 90
4 98
5 108
6 120
7 134
8 150

Might help a bit against those insane MOBs out there.

My stance is what it was before, to push for a full raid system in the game. I never said it'd happen over night or quickly, I said it's something we should discuss.

I swear I don't understand you people. Why do you treat this game like a dictatorship instead of entertainment? Why do you go out of your way to provoke your customers?

Why is an issue like this so much more about developers forcing their will on the players than about the players having a good time? And for no good reason because some red name was too proud to say "gee, maybe we screwed up here and did something unfun." Your pride is not worth my good time. You are less than me.

Once again, all the red names held hands and jumped off the bridge in unison. Nice going.

From what TH just said it will not happen at all...I just find the whole concept of limiting the groups to 8 lame...there is another reason for this that they are not telling and I am sure it has something to do with game coding...Some of my best times in this gamewasdone within large groups...Of course as it stands now most people on my friends list and guild have quit so it doesn't really matter anymore...

you said more than that, I would quote you but kinda hard sence the last four threads were deleted. You said there would be a shared loot sys, you didn't say the devs themselves said it, but you did imply it, so we are back to square one.

Raid like chat system = cheap

Full Raid capabilities requiring Squad Leader lead groups= good
