1. How would they fix the game so soloers can play without being added on?

They would make it worth less for large groups to kill solos and smaller groups than they are currently in. Example: Instead of a 3 man getting 650 RPs each for killing a solo who would have been worth 1300 RPs, they should each get (1300 / 3)* (1/3) for 144 RPs each. (1300 / 3) would be the amount of RPs for a solo kill and (1/3) would be the (# of people in the group who you just killed/# of players in your group). This would discourage ganking and encourage people to play in smaller groups and fight similar numbers. You could also gain more with this method if you were in a smaller group and killed people in larger groups.



MASSIVE MULTIPLAYER ONLINE GAME

you do not PENALIZE people for grouping and playing together in a MASSIVE MULTIPLAYER game... you reward them, and encourage it... because thats how the game is suppose to be played, thats what builds bonds and friendships and builds a community... by people playing together...

not running around solo...

you play solo in a game designed around grouping, thats your choice... live with the consequences of your own decisions.



the word multiplayer doesn't necessarily connote circle jerk as you seem to think it does...

Diablo is multiplayer, and you can solo in that... DAoC isnt just Multiplayer... its ... "MASSIVE MULTIPLAYER"

wich does indeed imply grouping with other player.... why have hundreds of people playing together if you intend for them to solo...

you dont, so the game is obviously ment for people to group up... and just simple groups wasnt enough so they had to create a group of groups (battlegroup) ...

so obviously the intended game play design is people working together...

If they intended for everyone to group and have a use in a group, then why didn't they give assassins group worthy skills?


Lets see....An assassin's main damage output is going to come from sneaking up on someone and landing a PA from stealth. This doesn't fit into any visible grouping.


You are forced to gank other stealthers in a skill-less quest to outnumber and out button mash your enemy into oblivion.


This is the best Mythic could do?

back in the day i used to have stealthers in my normal groups... they'd run with the group unstealthed, untill we see the enemy, then they'd hit stealth and creep up and use there critstrikes...

or in keep siege situations, they'd stealth up the walls and take out ranged attackers, while we bashed in the doors...

How do you think all those Spanish people got to America from Spain? Boats maybe because thats a really long trip to America over the Atlantic? Why not just go to Portugal next door>?

Kind of like the banks and other business in America when they put their hands out and begged for a bail out?


You do realize the US government (us taxpayers) gave supposedly capitalistic corporations 3 trillion dollars in welfare? You do also realize that this is more than we have ever paid for welfare in the history of the US to any poor on welfare?


LOL. So rediculous that you would say such a silly thing.

First, disregarding the debate over the necessity, the method of implementation, the need for different rules, etc. . . , welfare is not limited to specific races or ethnicities.


Second, disregarding the debate over the necessity, the method of implementation, the need for different rules, etc. . . Huge sums were ’loaned’ to corporations to prevent a collapse of the economy; the money was not “given”.


Lets stop the off topic discussion or the thread may get locked.


I would agree that the game is somewhat solo unfriendly. It has shifted that way more and more over the years.


For those that say “this is an MMO”, MMO does not mean Must Group All the Time MMO. . . that would be an MGATMMO. Whenever I solo I am always in alliance and guild chat having discussions with many people. Even when I am solo I am not alone.


Also, as others have pointed out, there are classes in the game where the intent of the class seems that the class was designed to be played solo.


I love to run in great groups. I also solo from time to time. Most people solo from time to time. A great MMO needs to be able to accommodate those that want to play but happen to log in when their guild or friends are not on (which means the person ends up leaving or playing solo for a bit).
