But, but, but..."RAID" boss.

 

I wouldn't mind having to team up with more than just 4 people to take on some sort of event. I honestly hate the 4 party limit because you know, I have more than 3 friends who can play at once and it means that someone has to be left behind, this kind of thing would solve that issue.

For Grineer, it could be like a multiple-assassination type deal. Think an elite squad of well-trained, well-equipped, highly shielded specialized Grineer marines with superior genetics and varied abilities. Hell, you could even make this random. It could be a squad of 3-5, with x number of close ranged specialists, x number of long ranged specialists, x number of utility specialists, etc. Each specialization would have a random pool of abilities as well. So that level 50 flameblade-type guy could be packing iron skin and speed, or bladestorm and slash dash, etc. That ballista-type could have switch teleport and invisibility, or decoy and freeze. Of course there could be unique abilities and different specializations. Maybe a "specialist" type with 4 abilities from any pool, or a poison type with some of venom's abilities and then some unique ones, or a disruption type that focuses on draining energy or silencing ability usage altogether.

 

I feel this would fit the Grineer idea more than a single big boss: they're all cloned fellas, so maybe the group marked for assassination was made using superior Tenno/Ancient/Orokin DNA spliced with the dying Grineer one. Since they're also the most tactical group, this would require the raidgroup to have good tactics as well. It'll also give a great chance for utility abilities shine: Loki and Ash could just juke out several members while the rest focus down a particularly dangerous one, there could be actual espionage via stealth for Banshee, Nyx and Rhino's Absorb and Iron Skin would have to be used carefully, Frost's freeze could be vital to stop a particularly annoying enemy, etc.

great idea. it could also be where you gota take out all the faction bosses at one. like all the grineer bosses at once, or all the corpus bosses at once. or survive a infection attack for X time. the infected attack would have to be harder then reg defense. and they keep coming instead of in waves.

Except this is a peer-peer game, not a server based one. I don't think the netcode's up for 8 people, much less more. Even when the bug that let you have 6 guys in one mission was in, the lag was atrocious when you had more than four dudes.

Bump. We need this...it would drastically improve the game.

 

Also, I just realized this is in the wrong subforum. Could a mod please move it to Gameplay Feedback?
