Co-op

To start I am basing all of this off the fact that I play HC.

How does everyone feel the balance of the game is on co-op. I feel like it is overly punishing to be in a party. Many times me and my friends would be playing together and when we would get to a boss we would split the party up. This makes the boss so much easier to take down. From the speed of the fight making not getting hit by crazy moves or crits much less likely to our abilities to apply stun freeze ex harder. Basically we never had a fight that we did together that we felt was easier in a group. We would split the party up and both people would have an easy time so it was not that one person was carrying the group and just making it harder because the other person was not carrying their weight. I don't see this being an issue on SC because who cares if you die or its hard just try again. If this game is based around SC only and HC is an after thought and that's the answer fine. I don't want this to become a game you must party to complete at all that is not my point. Playing solo feels fine. It does just feel like being in a party just makes the game harder.

I'm am just looking for peoples thought and if possible and answer from GGG on why it feels that way and what problem it might cause if they changed the current way its set up. If they have answered this and not just players could someone please link that.
