(And I love to team, almost always. Its why I joined an MMO instead of playing Baulders Gate again).
I sometimes don't understand why people solo on a MMO like this game. I have done it and hated it. Soloing is boring for me..much more fun w/ a team even if the team sucks.
I agree that I get bored soloing as well. I really enjoy being on Virtue and teaming.. I love teams... even if I'm not an empath just so I get picked up! Lol.
hmm.... I'm not into RP and don't put excessive time into my costumes, but I've had to buy each booster pack because each has had at least one thing I had to have.
Now, Issue 16 - this I would have paid SERIOUS money for. If this was a boxed expansion, I would have bought a copy for each account the day of release. Very nice indeed.

Same here, I just find I don't have much fun anymore unless I'm teaming with my friends.

But just another look at this.. doesn't mean its really only good for solo-ers and farmers.
Now if I'm playing with my SG and there are 5 of us on, we can still spawn it for 8. That makes me quite happy too. 
I did not get it exactly, are we gonna be able to solo Task forces?
Thanks,
Someone quoted Castle I believe (in a different thread) stating that no we could not because the limit was meant to show new players that TFs would be harder/longer/etc than a normal mission. TFs will remain unchanged as of now.
Whoo! I can actually have a challenge for my Scrappers, Brutes and That One Blaster now!
I am so gonna go fight +4 Malta!

I didn't pay much attention to this announced feature, at first. I was too preoccupied with Power Customization and didn't see this as something that would benefit me.
For a long time now, I've been finding CoH to be dull at its very core: the combat. Fights are boring, missions far too predictable. The Difficulty Slider was never a help. Hitting things less often and doing less damage does not make it more exciting or challenging, it just increases the tedium exponentially.
But this new feature is intriguing; fighting large groups of even level foes might actually be exciting.

So, thats code for ...

www.harryanddavid.com is a better choice - especially if the basket includes moose munch.

This feature is to make people happy.
Plus this is what you get on the way to Going Rogue, where we will see brand new power sets, brand new zones, tilesets, and more

[/ QUOTE ] Just a matter of personal preference. I solo about 95% of the time. For me it's about setting my own pace and doing exactly what I want, when I want without having to take other people into consideration. Also, I get annoyed when you have one or more teammates on the team that insist over and over that we need to get a healer, or a kin, or a tank. So instead of getting myself in trouble by telling those people what I think, I take my toys and play by myself. I also find it is easier to challenge myself when I play solo.
This really is a great addition to the game.

Same here, most of the time i tend to solo so i can do other stuff at the same time. Whether its just watch a dvd or talk on the phone, i know i can take my time [obviously i'll team now and then also though].
Now i want to create a MA mission of the exploding zombies built for a team of 8. Want a challenge, do that 
But yeah in all seriousness, great addition!!!! Can see this issue needing a LOT of beta testing before live though

That is an awesome option. No more fill requests. I probably can get even level AVs without going Invincible from what it sounds like. That feature may be my favorite.
[/ QUOTE ]
If they let us solo TFs/Trials the smileys will go into overload!
[/ QUOTE ]
Let's not get crazy now!
Seriously, though, to the best of my knowledge we won't be changing minimum sizes of TF's/SF's. The minimum sizes stand as "warning labels" to newer players that these missions are more difficult/time consuming/whatever than other missions. It's a small, but important function.
EDIT: By the way, in the meeting where this feature was proposed I specifically mentioned that "Perfect Pain is going to love this change." Glad to see, at least on first glance, I was right!

For me the ability to simulate a 4 man team in order to duo something like the Synapse TF would be the only use I have for this. I hate the artificial limits placed on those. I've still not done most of them as a result of these limits.

This is perhaps the most forward looking thing to me in I16.
I like to solo, but fighting lots of mobs solo is pretty hard to come by, unless you are street sweeping or herding. With this, I can fight a decent size team spawn by myself, needing no fillers or 3-boxing. My MMs are especially gonna love this.
Thank you!

Unfortunately, the forum software could not contain the awesome and you had to reduce it to only a few THIS's.
I'll be helping the Black Market by exterminating eldersnakes set to 8. Insane risks for insane rewards.
Keep this momentum and I'll be looking to subscribe for more than my typical 6 month subscription come August! Maybe even get a third account...
Yeah, I'm wanting to throw money at the Devs now.
