Discussion Developer Request: Please remove the player count restrictions from the Defera Ground Invasion Zone missions.

Right now there is a minimum player count required to start the Hard difficulty ground missions, such as [Getting to the Bottom of Things](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Power_Plant:_Getting_to_the_Bottom_of_Things_(episode)) and [Counter Offensive](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Probe:_Counter_Offensive_(episode)) that have Accolades tied to them.

These missions are easy to solo, but there is currently no way to do so, and the RNG nature of these specific Accolades make it very challenging to find others willing to grind it out, especially with the 20-hour mission cool down. While I'm asking, any chance that timer could be shortened as well? I know, I know, choosy beggar...

Anyway, just a QOL update to remove these restrictions would be very appreciated, that's all. Thanks!

P.S. Anyone wanting to try to grind these Accolades out on Xbox in the meantime, send me a DM!

This, yes! Please and thank you very much. It lets me tackle Nukara alone, I wanna challenge Defera the same.

I don't recall, are there any accolades associated with the Nukara zone?

I am unsure about accolades. I was more focusing on the hard missions letting you go it alone, even though it recommends a team.

Yeah, the power creep on the ground has been pretty significant since the zones were introduced, a decently kitted player nowadays can handle any of the "team" content without much of an issue.

I've got a season by season checklist of things I want to complete and I've got adventure zone shaped gap on Defera.

Yes please,.. I want to do defeat hards with my friend but we often can’t because it requires at least 3 people.

If you already have 2 people then hit me up, I'll always happily join!

Not sure why my URLs didn't format properly, maybe the ending parentheses in the target address...? Sorry about that.
