Please make us can play with like fully team with other friends

As you seen we really hope i can play with my other friend as a party 5vs 5. One friend party is enough fun i think but it would be more fun and interest if u can make it more.

 

Game isn't for fun but for MONEY!

 

No. No. And NO. You people asking for this are incredibly short sighted or just ignorant of the ramifications. What's the first thing that'll happen? 4 players above 3500 Infamy will drag along their brand new 1000 Infamy friend and carry him to higher Infamy. They might even offer the slot on the sligh for money. Or better yet, 5 friends together could sit in a room for maximum coordination and communication. The first enemy boat that is seen will be instantly targeted and killed (because for some reason 80% of the players can't seem to understand this tactic is crucial) and will effectively turn the match into an instant 5v4 match, with the 5 still alive at a HUGE advantage.

Basically what I'm saying is Rovio isn't stupid. They understand anything more than 2 (because 3 boats could still effectively insta-kill with the right builds) would BREAK. THE. GAME.

The only upside to the game breaking I suppose would be we wouldn't need to listen to suggestions like this anymore .

Think about the ramifications to the entire BB community before putting your personal desires first.

 

Um, the game already has a limit of 800 difference in infamy to fleet up, you could simply tweak that to be 400 or 600. Other games have the match making so that a team of 5 is 95% likely to be also matched vs another team of 5. I can see it working if they did this

 

Well, they could allow 5 player fleets in a format which is totally independent from the ladder system (and therefore infamy). They can in fact introduce leagues based on the equipment of the fleet members. Match-making could also be different, maybe a challenge-system? Of course, the rewards should also be different (maybe the only reward would be the position of the team at the end of the season, and nothing else, to prevent manipulation).

 

Introduce leagues based on gear and the same people complaining about fairness (like in this thread) are the same squeaky wheels that will complain about those too. There's no pleasing everyone when a vocal minority want everything to be even and fair. Life isn't fair, and games aren't fair.

 

With no decent reward incentive, why play the league then? Can't give em a really GOOD reward because everyone complaining about not being able to group up in the first place will now complain those that "bought" their way to better gear now have a chance at even BETTER gear when they 5v5 with friends!

Someday I hope some of you wake up to the fact that these kind of options just DO NOT fix a problem. They only create more. The whiners that get what they want create different whiners who will now complain about the new changes. It never ends.

 

This will never be a true competitive pvp game until it has 5 v 5.I expect this to be included before 'too' long.
If the devs say we will never have 5v5 then I will quit immediately.

 

um, where did that come from? It's so unrelated to the post you quoted/ My main complaint is playing with people that wont play as a team and u can't communicate very well. fleets of 5 would solve that issue.

 

that why i dont play for a while coz not too fun if we just play with 1 friend only n im still waiting for 5v5 coming out

 

I agree. Tightening the infamy range that can be between players is an easy fix to the issue of bring noobs into higher level leagues. 5v5 doesn't really have any other problems... as long as everyone is the same level. If they really want to make it fair, say that all marks have to be the same too. That's an idea

 

They have the technology in place for multiple player fleets but the reason they restrict it to 2 is likely due to matchmaking.

-Yes, a fleet of 5 sounds great but realize that your competition will also be a fleet of 5 so you won't gain an advantage. If they matched teams against non-teams then shame on the devs for allowing such a major competitive advantage. This would cause single and two player teams to quit and make matchmaking worse.
-If they allowed this on the regular ladder then matchmaking for 5v5 would take longer due to few evenly matched teams. Those 5 players waiting in queue for another team will reduce the pool of players doing single player, thus making match times longer or more uneven for both teams and non-teams.
-If they have teams in guild wars you still have some of the same problems about the different game modes taking from a fixed player pool causing increased match times or more uneven matches.

If the player base isn't large enough to support it, 5 player teams will make the game experience worse for everyone. They already allow a very wide infamy range (1000+) for matching making on single player to achieve acceptable matching times.

 

Agree but also a chance here of a recursion/feedback loop: no 5v5 because not enough playerbase for 5v5 because no 5v5. There are groups of people that like to play together online, for ex. there is zero chance of my old guildies still playing Guild Wars 2 of taking a break from it to try this game out if they can't play as a group of at least 3 or 4 and ideally 5 people.

 

That's a very good point

 

Why will they play? Well, it's competitive PvP and eSport I think. Those matches will be far more strategical as normal matches. The teams will of course use a voice-chat system and they will prepare with a strategy in mind. This is the "real" multi-player experience, when you act together as a team. Many players like that.
And as I said, and you seem to agree with me here, those 5v5 matches should not give better gear. It should be just about beating the competition. And of course, the established ladder system will still be the normal way to enjoy the game (providing better gear and making money for the publisher).
