In spiral knights not alot of people go into groups its mostly just soloing. So what I thought is to put some kind of advantage for going into group. I'm not quite sure what maybe a little more heat than usual. That would encourage more people into making groups.
Some kind of advantage for doing missions in a group
^ what Xxpapaya is true,when you go in group its easier to pass missions,...multitasking...but im not sure that heat is shared
Advantages in group:
Crowns are shared equally amongst the party
Minerals are shared equally amongst the party
Tokens shared equally amongst the party
Easier complete missions,more dmg,skilled mates...
Disatvantages:
Knight A gets (for example) Light shard,but Knight B doesnt...also you can find a solution and trade with that person if you want and ofc if that person wants
Advantages for going solo:
all heat goes to you,all tokens,shards,materials
disadvantages
you get less minerals by going solo than you get by going in group
And im a little against it and at the same time im not...good suggestion anyway
Beign able to get revived for free, and the multiple weapon combinations/strategies possible is good enough. You can also share heat by suiciding. You get more minerals. You may even get more crowns too (pirze wheel prize is shared).
Going solo only gives more mats (they are cheap anyways) and in some cases, might be faster since monsters are weaker. I say MIGHT because with weapon bonuses (to counter extra health) and a coordinated team you can do it just as fast or better, depending on level.
Well, there kinda already is an advantage for going in a group. 1.More people=more damage done to monsters=quicker 2.If you die people can revive you 3.Easy to multitask things
The disadvantages would be mainly 1.Monsters have more health and deal more damage (bosses as well)
Thats the main reason why people prefer to solo. Also, if someone if your party dies, you don't have to use health (or energy if you're really unlucky) to revive them.
If I am correct, when you are in a party the crowns and heat are shared equally amongst the party (unless of course you joined late). This is another reason why people prefer to solo.
Although this is a good suggestion I'm gonna say "no", some people really like to solo (because some party members talk way to much in battles)and I wouldn't want to ruin it for them.
