Question About Groups

I noticed in the last Beta Event that I could not form a group above 4 members. I't used to be 8 if im not mistaken. The commands section list 8 keys to target 8 party members. Did they change the size of groups or did I miss something?

As you progress through the missions/higher level areas, you can invite more players into your party.

Thank You for the reply do you happen to know at what levels they increase the group size? Also did the devs say why its set up that way?

In Ascalon, you can only have 4 to a party, once you get into Yak's Bend, you can have 6, and then I believe once in LA, it's 8.

not sure where levels change group size

the reason (i think) is to ease people into working together to handle progressively harder mobs of monsters

imagine trying to get 8 people who are used to running ahead to be the *HERO/INE* all at once

let 3-4 people get bounced around early and they will be more inclined to work together later

my own speculation

Ok its the zones that determine party size then.

I agree Loviatar I guess its as good a reason as any.
