No kidding it's like you sneaked down stairs on christmas morning and can see what you got, but you can't play with it without getting into a ton of trouble.
Wouldn't hurt them to add at least some way for more than 4 people to play together in PvE. I got over a dozen friends who might play this, and splitting everyone up in groups of 4 that will never have any contact makes me really sad =/
They could add a mode like a "Dungeon Race" with teams of 4 players competing for points who could be given based on awards, like which team killed the Boss faster, which team took the least damage, which team dealt the most damage, which team died the least, which team got more loot at the end of the dungeon.
Would be something as easy as pairing up the servers, putting everyone at the start of a dungeon and letting it start at the same time, and comparing numbers afterwards - just so different parties could compete with each other, and have some contact with each other.
I know me and my friends would love that, since we wouldn't all be able to play together, at least we could randomize different parties and compete to see who is the best "team". Would also give some incentive on people to improve their teamwork and also improve replayability if you ask me. Test different combos to see who can grab different awards the best (like 4 Wizards getting the "most dmg" award always).
It could be limited to 12 players, or maybe even 16, with up to 'x' teams competing. Wouldn't mess with game balance, wouldn't be too server demanding, and would make for a ton of fun, unless you only have 3 friends =/
Would anyone like this?
I agree most of us have more than 3 friends and I think what you described would be a great addition to the game, and if the dungeons were random everytime that would make every round unique. Now all the servers would have to sync at first to make sure they spawn the same random map but after the round is over it could dump you all into the same chat channel with a results screen. This would be EPIC!!!!
