It would be great to have 2 squads party up for a total of 8 people. It's rare that games offer this experience. I realize some people will complain that more control over 2 parties might create an unbalance but the truth is the game already has highly skilled people that can impact it. If it's about an experience with friends, the more people that can party up, the more they will evangelize the game for you. I've had a party of 4 people, and another 3 people join. After telling them we are full, they just play another game. These types of games provide a social experience that isn't really found in many places. The 5 team wars are already unpopulated, this would help increase it.

They have said they plan to allow larger groups at some point in the discord so that's a good sign.

Happy to hear that, hopefully the state changes to "planned"

For those of us that queue with guilds or big friend groups the 4 person party is extremely limiting. Please consider adding larger group queue !!! I think it won’t be too unbalanced given that team
Sizes are still 20

In dire need of this, would be nice if the first party gets filled with 4 people and my other friends gets to be atleast filled into other parties with randoms

Yes. If you limit your party to 4 people, it's not war, it's a brawl game with random squad of teammates. Warlander, this is war, it needs to be coordinated together. Logically, you can party up to 50 friends together in a game, this is called a real coordinated war. Unbalanced? Absolutely YES, if matchmaking finds random opponents instead of 50 cooperating opponents too, very unbalanced. But if you allowed this, Guilds/Clan would find some members and party up to 50 as well, to play together, communicate together, make a coordinated army, find big opponents, crush them. Thats would be so cool and challenging war, trust me, this reminds me of oldgames with fantastic guild wars.

I would like this as well, Maybe if the 50v50 mode is introduced this could be alongside it so we could have larger squads.

現在は4人で1チームになっていますが、1チームを10人にすることや多くの人数を同じチームでマッチできるようにして欲しいです。
多人数のフレンドで遊べると楽しさが増すと思います。

Translation:
Currently there is one team of four players, but we would like to see one team of ten players and the ability to match many people on the same team.
It would be more fun to play with a large number of friends.

I hope this change also attempts to put these groups vs other groups because 2 groups of 8 coordinated players with a few pugs vs a full 20 solo queue isn't going to make the game fun for the 20 solo queued player team. I also hope this change is made after adding comms to the game so people can at least attempt to coordinate.

They really need to do this. 4 players makes this feel so restrictive for a war game.

Before this is implemented, premade groups should be matched with a premade group with similar size on the opposite side.

Right now in the queue system you are as likely to be grouped with another group vs solo queue players as you are to be evenly matched vs another group. We have purposely stream sniped queues all sitting in 1 channel to get games together with 16ish people (trying to get good fun games) the result varied greatly but mostly resulted in 3 premade groups vs 1 premade group creating very 1 sided matches.

5 man party would be perfect for this game

With larger party sizes, our discord community would be all over this game. Without them, no one will ever invest time in it. People complain that this would cause balancing issues.... sorry but thats wrong and I have at least one example of why. The majority of our group are not pro gamers, nor do they even try to be very good at games. We also distract each other with conversation more then we coordinate. Letting more of us party together would actualy give our opponents more of an advantage. Let people play games with their friends already. The majority does not care to be competitive, and we have no interest in playing games that keep more of our friends on the side lines.

I think if a 50 v 50 is added instead of making 10 groups of 5. Devs should have it to where there is 5 groups of 10. I think that can add a lot to warlander as far as planning for battle and capture/ defending objectives. Maybe even have it where you can queue with a 5 person squad and have the other half filled durning my matchmaking

Would be nice to have bigger squads, but the current squad is fine. Maybe a platoon gamemode? Most people at this point have a squad of 6 and they seek out games that can accomidate that.

They should make a clan mode for bigger parties. We already got most of the top ranked players squaded up
