[Question about team size modifier]

3 minutes ago, merrypessimist said:

Team size mods and level adjustments only apply before you walk into a mission.  If you change them while inside an instance you need to exit and restart the instance to see any change. 

 

That said if your team size is bigger than whatever you have the adjustment set to, the game will use the larger of the two.  So a team size setting of 3 and an actual team number of eight will spawn for an 8 man team.  That same team size 3 setting for a solo or duo will spawn for three people. 

Thank you, that's exactly what I wanted to know!

 

I was worried I'd forever gimped myself into certain mission spawns regardless of team size, glad to know that's not that case! 

[Question about team size modifier]

I selected a team size option of 1 just to see what it meant, but I cant seem to reset it. Does this mean that from now on I'll have to select the correct team size for every mission I run based on the amount of team members I have? Dont the missions usually auto adjust based on how many people are in your team? do I have to do that manually now? I cant seem to reset it after selecting an option, I'd rather the team size just adjust and scale automatically like it used to.

 

Or am I misunderstanding what the team size modifier actually does? 🙂

 

Thanks

Thanks for the all the help everyone, super insightful. At the moment I'm leaning toward Cold/Ice defender as I like the idea of keeping the Ice theme! 

[Best toon to pair with an ice/ice blaster?]

I've just done the impossible and got my wife into CoH, she wants to play an ice/ice blaster so we will be duo'ing together! 

 

Whats the best character to support that? I know this is a tall order but if possible I'd like to play as some kind of controller as I've played so many melee characters it would be nice to switch it up. I accept that a blaster might need a tank or brute though so I am willing to roll one out. 

 

So yeah what AT do you guys would best suit an Ice/Ice blaster? 

 

Thanks!

So much this

 

There's nights where I wait several hours with no teams in sight.. I finally decide to lead my own when a buddy jumps on and we'll have a full team in minutes. Sometimes with excess people waiting for a spot!

Lots of people want to team, few want to lead.

Im starting to think this might be the issue. I see so many people around my level playing solo, maybe I'll try forming teams myself from now..

What server are you on and when do you play?

 

I recommend finding a good super group to join. Our SG organizes leveling up teams. So everyone starts a character at level 1, then plays together throughout the week, leveling up with each other. I'm sure others may do the same.

I'm on excelsior! I'd love to find a SG like this.

Okay you guys have made me feel much better. I'm on excelsior at the moment so I'll stay positive and keep going for a while. I might roll out an empath on everlasting too and see what's up over there :). 

 

I have such fond memories of running frosty in the hollows with a packed team. Glad to see those days aren't over!

I only recently discovered CoH was playable after having some of my best gaming experiences with it over 10 years ago. I booted it up today and while I love the game, nobody seems to team anymore. Back in the day I never used to do anything solo, I'd boot it up, find member, sort by level, DM the grayed out names (meaning they are in a team) and ask if they have space for me. Id spend the whole session in teams jumping from mission to mission, no matter what level I was.

 

I saw 2, maybe 3 grayed out names in the search today, everyone else was solo. The only time I teamed up was for DfB and even then everyone bolted the second it was over. 

 

Have I been unlucky today or does everyone play this game solo now? The reason I love this game was because it seemed to be designed from the ground up for teams, instanced missions, barely any kill x enemies ect.

 

What have you guys found? Im hoping I just got unlucky today but I'd love to hear what you guys think.
