Make 6-8 man lobby's default

[SickBoySid]

Make the lobby size bigger by default,
And a Small amount of scaleing would be nice

After playing rend and the last 3 harder moons. 6-8 people felt much more natural,

Got more use of the transmission,
Masks where more fun, was able to shovel larger quantity of monsters,
Was able to split up into teams like Scooby do, with each team having one walkie.
Just overall more fitting on the harder moons imo

y'all can argue over intended or not, balanced or not, mods existing or not, but at the end of the day people arent downloading mods unless the game has workshop, so it damn well better be a vanilla feature.

If it's not intended it's not intended, csgo has teams of 5, dota2 has teams of 5, left 4 dead has groups of 4, apex legends squads have 3 players, etc. Some people may want changes, but that's the number of players the developers decided they wanted to have per team.

By the way, lots of games have healthy modding communities outside of the steam workshop. When I mod Assetto Corsa I don't use the workshop, and the modding community is huge. The same happens with other games like GTA, Dark Souls, Sonic, etc.

Are these “people” here in the room with us right now?

Cause from what I have seen, workshop is the worst way to mod your game.

I've seen a handful of threads suggest workshop support, I'm not entirely against it but not only do I prefer third party modding sites I would also rather Zeeks focus on his projects as mods are already readily available and easily accessed if people did research.

Mmm Project Zomboid has flourished and has a TON of mods with workshop. . .not sure what all this is about.

They should let you change the amount of players in lobby, but the default should be 4, so you can add 5 or 6 if you'd like. Anyone whos saying there shouldnt be an option, are being ignorant and trolls. Having options is never a bad thing

Some people feel rather passionate about this lol.

Look I played a lot of 3,4,5 and 6 man with friends and from my experience the game is much more enjoyable and a higher quality over all in a 6 man on the harder moons.

You can split up into more teams, you have more room for error ( more people can die while you continue to loot) 6 people is still very manageable for coordinated teamwork. Masks are way more fun, it's very fun coordinating 2 teams on the ship, titan and match are Ridiculously big for 4 people, also more chaos more fun. You can designate rolls better ( raido man, shovel man, gun man, )

I think a lot of people bashing 4+ haven't played with 6~ friend at once. I think your opinion would definitely change if you did titan with 6 friends instead of 4 it's a definite improvement to enjoyment,

Problem about the mod is that when the game updates it sometimes dident work ( we had to switch to the other lobby mod ) and making some of the less tech litterate people install the mod was a pain,

And again after just playing with 6 people it really just felt like that should be the standard I mean I still do 4 mans when not all the boys are on but I definitely see myself enjoying the game less, I think it's abit of an oversight to keep it at 4.

Also a lot of people have more then 3 friend online

After playing More Company, it does feel fun to add a few more people into the mix.

However, tier 1+2 moons, seemed far too quick and easy.

Tier 3 moons felt proper with a party of 6-8

IMO the maps need to be bigger for larger parties

And the entire point of this post is to make it so you don't NEED mods for that.

T2 moons are actually harder then the first T3 moon, more monster cap

But ya no matter how many people we have we pretty much stopped playing the T1 moons even with just 3 people.

After 25 hours in game I don't find them very fun unless we inact a self challenge on ourselves like no flashlights no radios or something,

We actually got a mod to make the last 3 moons free so we can play them right from the start. Got unfun grinding the T1 moons

I mean, 4 should be the default, but it wouldn't hurt to add in the option for more than 4 by default.

You aren't limited in equipment like phasmophobia.

No, 4 is perfect as it is, besides you have mods for increasing lobby size

If most people already download the mod at all why not increase the group size?
