Would be nice if the difficulty of these were toned down a bit for players who enter solo. All this content is geared towards groups, which is mostly just people boxing a bunch of characters. That's fine and all, but I personally don't want to play a bunch of boxed alts. Unfortunately that puts me at a huge disadvantage for late game content, unless of course I make friends and we group, but then there is the issue of loot distribution and whatnot. If one person can bring a bunch of alts and do content by themselves, then technically one person should be able to bring one character and do it by themselves too. It's the same thing really. By allowing boxes in the first place is creating a systemic problem with where this game is headed - the content is so difficult to cater to this playstyle that you're leaving behind the people that don't want to do that. This is even further complicated by adding in group bonus exp, so being solo altogether is just not favorable at all in this game.
I agree with Madae 100%. I prefer to fight alone and until you are a very high level you cannot manage most of the heroic caves alone. A severe disadvantage - even after paying for Noble subscription!!
Great post, Khego. Thank you for that.
You're welcome. This has been discussed before, they are HEROIC. Heroics in other games are not soloable.
Except they are being solo'd, by many people, using multiple characters. The point of difficult content is to get people to work together. It's not happening a vast majority of the time, and therefore it's pointless, or at least not doing what you're implying. Creating harder content for solo characters would be fair, wouldn't it? Or are people who use multiple characters the only people this game should care about? Because that's basically what you're saying here.
This is not other games. This is the realm, and the realm survived as long as it has by being unique and fun in it's own way. They shouldn't be trying to emulate other games, because that's not inherently what made the realm popular in the first place. Other games have many people to work with. This game doesn't, so there is no reason to be trying to gear the game towards "grouping" when there's really no reason for them to and they can just do it themselves 99% of the time.
I believe this is why they have implemented scalable caves…
