Would you like to see smaller team-sized trials? If so what team size?

Currently we only have 12-man, 4-man and solo trials. It would be nice to have some trials which require 6 to 8 people rather than having to spend a large amount of time trying to find 11 other players, but also having the same team work vibe and diversity of the 12-man trials. What do you think?

    I'm fine for the 12 people trials to continue as they are.

    My only real love would be another Maelstrom/Dragonstar style arena but for two players. Something to really break up friendships.

    Trial content should be made in every size!

    nAS is already a 8-man Trial :p


    2-8 or maybe a Trial that scales based on how large the group is.

    I want more 4 man Trials like Dragonstar Arena, with their type of weapon rewards. Trials should only have Trial-type gear, AS gear is poop and getting it is way too easy.

    I want another 1 man Trial like Maelstrom Arena. The challenge is really fun and reward is so worth it.

    6 Man trial would be interesting and the team composition also. Be more fun rather than 8-9 DDS stacking and burning. Booooring.

    8 Man would also be interesting, but Trial that do run 6-8 man need to have a good incentive to do with interesting Trial gear. Not something like Automated Defence. Tf is that about?

    12 Man we have too many of, it's just getting boring now. I want to see a wide-variety of team compositions for Trials. Not just 1/2 Tanks and 2 Healers rest DDS. Just absolutely boring.
    Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.

    I would like that too. Some nice dual arenas. More solo arenas which are not that long. Would be nice to have them around 30 mins.

    I like the idea of trials scaling to the amount of people in group. I also want to see a 2 man trial :)

    And as much I as hate vMA with it's crazy mechanics and incoming damage, I would love to have more solo trials. I don't like the challenge... I just like the fact that I can complete it any time and don't have to rely on getting a group, let alone getting a group of decent people.

    This is what I love about VMA, you can just do it whenever you want. A 2-man trial would be great now that I think about it.

    6 or 8 would be interesting, but 6 would open up trials for greater population. It would be less performance issues while easier to test for what's going with performance as it scales upwards. Either way pick and number and make it interesting.

    I would like to have another 4 man arena like vDSA and would love a 2 man arena.

    For trials I think they should remain 12 player content. More than 12 becomes hard to organize and less reduces the possibility and/or uptime of valuable buffs and debuffs.

    My first choice would be a 2-man trial.

    However, a 6-man would also be nice... ideally with 1 tank, 1 healer and 4 DPS, that way a traditional raid group could split in 2 if it was the weekly.

    The other day I tried doing normal AS, but hard mode with only 5 other players. Honestly, spicing up the amount of players and the type of content was a tonn of fun. Unfortunately we couldn't really spice it up with any other trials. I'd love to see some new, toyable content, with not just 12 players.

    What about 12-man trials with more and longer splitups into smaller groups, like HelRa & Aerthian?

    Make the bosses on split in such a way every boss out there requires their own approach. For example one side is more fit for stamina, while another is better for magicka-like players. Sort of artificial balance.

    Have a 6-man trial would be fun, but making sure the group won't need 2 tanks for such trials. 2 healers, maybe.
