Why do enemies HP not scale by party numbers?

[Xeno88]

Its pretty dumb when you are fighting the Vol Dragon (solo) and it takes 15 minutes to beat..

[ScottyMango]

That's kind of the point of PSO.

Playing with more people gives you more power. Therefore, community.

[HFlowen]

It is kinda disappointing when everything vaporizes before I can touch it when multiple parties are swarming together.

[Vylera]

Because they scale by enemy quantity and increased chance of Emergency Codes.

I prefer the PSO2 logic of increased difficulty. It's not about smacking one mob longer or getting smacked harder (Diablo3 logic).

If you bring more people to the war, they'll bring more people to the war.

Why would a boss magically become weak because only 1 guy shows up?

EDIT:

2 words: ONE MORE!

[ScottyMango]

It is a little bit too easy when you have like 8 people with you, but I also kind of like it. Feels like a little army stompin' through.

Again, I agree with Vylera.

I like it this way, enemies scaling always pisses me off in games. Strength in numbers man.

On another note, the other kind of scaling is the worst kind, when things scale to your level it's just annoying, I like murdlizing weak enemies in one shot after I level up a bunch lol. ^^;

[UnLucky]

Oops a common forest rat mauls you effortlessly because there are two guys off in the corner making out

[Emery25]

It would be too easy to grind for items

[darkante]

I love the fireworks, makes leveling less tedious.

[Coatl]

I thought it did scale? That's why I would wait until all my party members would be at the portal before I jump to Vol dragon. Wouldn't want its hp to be so low that I wouldn't be able to break both his horns on time.

Well, it's good manners to wait for your team anyway I suppose..

[supersonix9]

Because that would defeat the purpose of progression if you tried to kill a level 20 mob at 10, then tried again later at 20 only to find out that it becomes level 40 with another person.

That's some Borderlands scaling right there. I remember trying to play that game from scratch with 4 people makes it damn near impossible at some points.

[Garnet_Moon]

Wait until Ultimate difficulty when everything is crapping out, exhaling and casting Megid. Remember that when you want mobs to live longer...

Hey Dark Falz, how's it -OH SHI-

not when you're running around really fast while invincible while regenerating health while dealing bonus area damage while decreasing the cooldown to do it all over again

I doubt Megid will be a cheap OHKO spell. It hasn't been that way for quite a while.

[soulpimpwizzurd]

I doubt Megid will be a cheap OHKO spell. It hasn't been that way for quite a while.

from the glitched megid some people have gotten a hold of (megid is in the game but it's a bugged disc called dark spell lv 0 or something, probably patched it by now, haven't seen it for a long time) it's not an insta kill

it's a multi hitting kinda globular circly aoe splash attack that poisons.

I recall those fake Dimenians in PSU throwing Megid around like it was a game of dodgeball. Whether it was OHKO or not I don't know for certain. Since I was a newearl, the total damage from the spell killed me before the OHKO part had a chance to activate. lol

[Randomness]

I never did get how he cast Grants.

Pretty sure it was OHKO except that it was upgraded from PSO's megid to do damage if it didn't insta kill.

You die regardless, because they can't read your little text over their massive explosions.

Or the times you just don't say a word because the person who is attacking Dark Falz is the person whose soul he stole. Then queue the confusion afterwards when the person who just committed suicide wonders what just happened.

Or they just don't give a crap about you... :D

When they decide to make V. Hard and Ultimate, there will some insane boss battles. Vol Dragon would kill you if he... well does stuff that is already painful...

I fail dodged a max virus Hard mode Vol Dragon skullbash and got blasted for 380ish damage.

I decided I'd let my character sleep on the ground for a while after that one.

i like his skullbash. all you need to do to dodge is clip into him/go underneath his belly. when in doubt hide underneath him lol. it almost always works. or just, guard. not just guard, since guarding works nicely too so long as you have pp.
