Anyone Wondering How 48 Toons will fit into a Cave?

You can form them for any purpose- that does not mean you can violate the normal in-game rules. Remember: a league is not a team!

A League can only be as large as the content they want to do will allow - all missions and TFs cap at 8, so a League can't be larger than 8 people if it wants to do missions and TFs.

Even though this is most likely true, I'd love to see 48 Thugs MMs teaming on an Orange Bagel map. Even though it'd probably crash the server they do it on.

Hmm. Couldn't you theoretically get 24 Thugs MMs on one of the new Trials? Then all hit Gang War at the same time?|

I've been on teams of 6 MMs in the past, on sewer maps or Oranbega. With 36 pets out in front you just kind of wander along behind them and most everything is dead virtually before you even see it. Good fun.

This is pretty much what happened that time we had 6 masterminds on a team, and ended up on a narrow cave mish. Three people quit immediately afterwards because they couldn't even get to the enemies.

You had that many MMs and no one had Team TP?|

When we have that much crowding in narrow map, I tell the MMs, "Put 'em on Aggressive," and I Team TP the whole crowd down the hallway. It's a teleporting mound of doom that wipes out all in its path.
Or, you know, they could have split up.

Okay, I had this vision for I20 on the new League play of up to 48 players. So suppose you have a cave mish and I mean the old blue small cavern type caves. How in the heck are you going to cram 48 toons in there? It would be chaos! No one could get around each other. The guy in the back of the group, when they made their way through the crowd, would see that all the villains were dead already from the people in front of them...heh. Also, if you had a league of 48 people, I would guess that the number of villains would also greatly increase much more exponentially.
Based on what paragonwiki says "Issue 20 introduces Leagues to City of Heroes. A League is a much larger group of characters. Formerly, the largest team size was up to 8 characters. Now, characters can form or join groups of up to 48 characters. Leagues can be formed anywhere in Paragon City, the Rogue Isles, or Praetoria, for any purpose from attacks on the Rikti Mothership to costume contests". As you noticed, I hi-lighted "for any purpose" which would leave me to believe for any type of mish, TF, Raid or whatever. Not to mention the massive lag involved, anyone out there have a thought on this and maybe more input on exactly how this will work very fluently?
