 Posted: 04/20/05 - 14:28 Post subject: Soloing content
|
|
|
|
A few patches back they promised new soloing content. How is that working out? Is it viable for someone to solo from 1-50? And keep in mind that by "viable" I mean that it's an acceptable use of time, not 85000 kills per level of monsters 4 levels below me.

2-3 blue conned mobs(single) gives me 1% of exp, 4 greens equal 1% of exp.
It's possible to solo to 50, but they plainly stated months ago that going completely solo will take much longer to reach 50 than grouping, which I like, don't need hundreds of level 50 newbs / morons running around, that shit can stay in WoW(yes I played WoW and hated it, gotten to level 30ish before I got sick of all the kiddies)

it'd take a long time to solo to 50 but it could be done with ANY class. they've spent a lot of the latest updates retooling certain content to be solo-small group, especially stuff that's easily accessible in outdoor zones. the changes mean that theres plenty to solo if you have limited time, i'd say there's almost an overabundance of solo content now. but as would be expected, you get better exp grinding against harder content in a large group. Solo exp / small group exp is comparable kill per kill but its the downtime between hard fights that slows your overall progression. bigger groups can simply kill harder things with less wait, and while the exp is divided among more people, it evens out to be better than killing one thing by yourself, waiting, killing another.
SM i cant believe u dont play EQ2 considering they've got Rat-people here. Good shit yo, holla

I'm sure I'll play it again someday, but WoW fits my schedule just fine right now.

At least Blizzard doesn't sell in-game currency for cash.

Blizzard devs are 2 busy trying to make an "end-game" before everyone drops off and assimilates with the Sony Happy Happy Fun Face corporation product. The problem is Blizzard can't get enough of that chinese "i rerk for rice" programmer labor like big brother Sony has. U know they're whipping the f**k out of those chinko-boys right now for Live Update #7... and g*****n its gonna be a good one, haha wish u were here!!!))~ ~~ ~~ ~~~~

They can't? Why not? Not enough money? Not enough programmers?
I thought you were the master of flames, or something. You sound like every other ill-informed fool talking out of his ass, here.

I never crowned myself the Lord of Assbanter, and all I'm sayin' is that if you look at the profiles, Sony has an extraordinary amount of resources backing its MMO. Blizzard is the smaller guy monetarily, which doesn't mean the pricier product is better, but it does slant the odds. If you want to root for the little guy go ahead, I've been watching the Sox bite it for years and then they go and comeback 3 games down against the Yankees, stranger shit will happen still...

I can't speak for duo, but trio'ing is still great exp. Even at 43.
I find full groups to be slower. But picking the right mobs to kill, and doing quests in conjunction with it helps alot, and is easier to accomplish with a smaller group.
As for the facilitating of selling in-game items/money. Don't care, going to happen anyway, might as well move em off my server, and let Sony make sure people get what they pay for.
It's better then pretending banning them accomplishes something. O no i have to level a char to 50 in a week again (or 60 if it's WoW).
Just wish someone would take Yantis to court and figure out whether it's legal or not so we can deal with it whichever way it turns out.

duo / trio can get amazing exp
soloing cant
i think thats how it should be ..
theres tons of newbies at lower levels that are total and absolute morons ..
the reason they don't level up is because they cant get good groups because they are morons ..
.. as it should be .. morons like that shouldnt be toteing around level 50
