Parties harder?

[sanchomundo]

Noobie here.

When I solo levels, I destroy bad guys. I solo bosses fairly easily.

When I am in a party, it is much tougher. I get one-hit by some bosses. Baddies take much longer to kill.

So why should i run maps in parties? Is there a benefit in drops or experience or something?

Does the difficulty scale with the number of people in the party? Or are there just easy/hard modes?

Thanks

What are the levels of the other players? The difficulty scales to the level of the highest player, so if you are in a party and the others are even 2-3 levels above you it can make it a LOT more harder.

Thanks. That explains quite a bit.

Does it matter how many players there are, or is it just the highest ranked player?

Does that mean the dungeons will always be hard? They will scale up as I do?

To prepare you for elite maps later on. If you solo the entire game, and then one day feel like running elite maps, you're not going to have practice/experience under your belt to contribute to the party's success. You might roll your eyes at that, but ask the other forumers here if they think elite maps are difficult/challenging or not.

Tae - I couldn't agree more.

Multiplayer is in the genre name of this game and working together is an integral part of playing.
