Please allow users to choose max party size

Another seemingly simple one. Why don't we have the ability to choose a max party size from 2-6? This would certainly lessen client gpu overload for people who choose not to max out their party.

I would love to be able to run parties of 2 to 3 people max. My gpu sucks so full parties for me are very trying... fps 10 or less a lot of the times.

Been wanting this one for two years as-well.

People don't party a lot, guess why...it's either full mental gpu overload or not at all. No middle road.

I dont see reason not to make it.

Now you can just make group private.

Don't see any reason against it either, other than that it needs to be programmed - but the programming for this should be reasonably easy I guess. With the current state of the game, I make my party private once it reaches 3 or 4 people. With this, I would not have to. Quality-of-life improvement. I am all for it.

I can give a simple example of why making a game "private" works, but is not an ideal situation.

People are looking for a (1/3) party because they know that is what their computers can approximately handle.
So we have people actively pursuing party play within the boundary's of their own limitations.

Then we have the current system that only allow (1/6) and as such only tells people looking for party's
"this will be an active 6/6 party"

Thus immediately eliminating the desire of any person incapable of handling such a GFX load to join.

Irrelevant if the party leader will make it private at (3/6)

There would in my opinion be more party play if smaller party's could be hosted that visually show they will remain small.

When someone leaves you have to make it public again. It's a pain. 2-6 max players setting would make it much easier and I am also of the opinion that more people would party more. I know I would.

-1 because it was asked many times and you refused to search.

+1 because it is a good idea...and to piss off the guy above me gave it a -1 for a dumb reason

The more visibility this gets the better. That's the way I see it. And, it only makes sense.

+21 :-)

BTW I suggested this in a QOL post started by me over a year ago. So I didn't have to search but I didn't want to revive a dead thread.
