    Assault: Mobs Scale w/ # of People?

    Quick question - does any aspect of Assault scale with the number of participants (for a given level setting)?

    I'm just wondering if it's a liability to 2 box someone in an Assault where fighting is involved - would the mobs have increased HP or stats with a larger number of participants?

    Number of participants doesn't affect the difficulty of the monsters, only the level cap does.

    They already scale points basedon the number of people: less people = more points. There would be no point in scaling the difficulty for less people, because then they could get more points for about the same amount of work. No, less people ups the difficulty (because it ISN'T scaled down for them) but ups the points as well.

    There's no scaling in Assault, it's meant to be easier with more people.

    uninvited guests as well as the pot/doll floor of the dhalmel apollyon scale with the number of people/parties entering. i can't think of much more that does though.

    Re: Assault: Mobs Scale w/ # of People?

    The monster difficulty is set based on the level restriction and is designed for 3-6 people. Meaning 3 'ideal' jobs for the task or 6 'average setup'. It all depends on the particular mission.

    The only thing to be effected by a extra character in there (assuming you already have 3 real players) is the AP reward at completion.
