[UI] increase amount of group members

the title says it all, i want more than 8 members in a group, the obvious advantage is more combined power in pirate maps, instead of 2-3 groups competing for spoils

 

I am fine with that if groups won't share the boosters. The worst update DO has made. The reasons are simple: one guy can still go and kill basically anyone if others just afk somewhere on the same map. It was better when the boosters were only shareable at close range, now you can't even trust anybody while making 1v1 that there isn't really anyone.

Whole map to explore, it's only word against word.

 

I think 8 people are plenty of people for a group activity. Allowing more is going to cause more problems than it's going to solve. Especially because of the Q-Zone, people will abuse that if more people are allowed in groups.

 

8 is enough.............

 

you're missing the point, i was talking about the pirate maps, there players should work together in larger groups rather than smaller ones.

 

I don't see a problem with it. Groups aren't permanent nor any worse to deal with than a Clan. Also outside of a Clan it may be difficult to come up with more than 8. As far as abuse any party that has more than eight members can just enter as multiple groups and do their abuse anyway.

 

Or they could just make pirate share rewards regardless of the group for the same company members?

 

Strength lies in numbers and this game allows numbers in multiple fashions. We have groups, we can have multiple groups working together, we have clans along with all their alliance and cross company abilities. Truthfully there is no control on group size. There are posted limits which are simply manipulated to go around. Abuse, bullying or what you may call it is an unfortunate fact of life that only copies real life itself. While we wish those with power and position would use it fairly, daily we see it abused for the powerful at the expense of others. To post here and speculate that groups and their size are bad is like hating cars because of those that may drive drunk. However this is just a game so we could eliminate groups altogether, but wouldn't that take away a part that many of us enjoy?

 

i think we can all aggree that if you find yourself in a situation where you are in group with 7 friends, and an 8th wants to join, it sucks if you have to deny him (and you or he doesn't have teamspeak)

 

Correct and if you read the above threads you see that I have no problem with group numbers so what are you telling me ?

 

the thing is, i was not disagreeing with your opinion...I was but adding to it

 

What did you guys do when it was only 5 to a group? They increased it for the QZ and as such I feel it is at a number that is more than adequate. In the example given you can ask someone who does have TS to leave the group so the other friend can be in the group Chat. Sharing kills at anything higher is just wasted ammo IMHO, and PvP unless you get the Red Lock you don't get anything for the kill anyways (from what I understand).

 

i was unaware of the 5 member groups, anyhow it is not a waste of ammo since you all use x1 ammo because large group...
and i pvp we do it for the points yes, but also just to deny our enemies access to the area, in the latter case we hunt together in large group
