Remove TF Size Restrictions

I'm sure there have been other people who have been stymied at doing a TF due to a lack of interested parties ... it gets REALLY frustrating when you are only one person short! 8-(

Put a warning on it: YOU MAY FAIL IF YOUR TEAM IS LESS THAN X MEMBERS, but let us at least attempt it.

See this thread right below yours



Much debate currently about it. Personally I'd like the option to start it solo, but I know that'll never happen.

Totally disagree. Just improve the functionality of /search as shown in my latest thread.

Yeah but improving the Search function... Even rolling out the que feature won't help me in my quest for content.

You see, I love casually working through the stories, reading all the flavor text and taking my sweet, sweet time.

I wouldn't dream of asking anyone to pad a TF for me that could possible take me weeks to complete. I'd love to be able to do a mission or two and then switch to an alt or log off, come back a few days later and do another few...

That's just a personal wish. Seeing as how the whole concept behind Task Forces is the fact that it's content you need a team for I don't ever expect this to happen. Just saying personally I would like it.

Mmm...

There are a lot of things we must consider with this request, the one that comes into mind is that mob size and nature of mobs are dependent on group size. I would imagine devs prefer full groups of 8 so the full content and variety of mob abilities will be present during the execution of a mission.

Take for instance Hess TF, a council centric TF. If you do it at 5 or more you will have bosses and thus the presence of heavy mez usage becomes a center part on the mob threat to the player. IF you were to do Hess solo, there would be no bosses, only a sprinkling of LTs and as a result no mez either; a very refreshing situation for non-melee who has no unconditional mez protection and makes for a very casual play experience.

While I concur getting team mates to fill a TF can be at times very difficult, depending on time of the day, and now with the Task Force of the week, doing something else is pretty hard now, at least for two or three days after the new weekly TF is opened.

I fear that if the devs do remake the TFs so they can be done solo as well, I fear their heavy handed use of mez as the standard form of challenge incorporated in such a manner that it will no longer could be avoided and the opportunity for casual players to play their ranged alts in a relaxed manner would go poof.

Sometimes, we need to be careful what we wish for...
