Quite honestly Paparick, you are out voted in this thread, and your comment about "reduce the game down to your standard of Pablum ingestion ..." etc implies you think those that vote yes fall into the same category because they also want it implemented as well.

As for your second paragraph, your personal views and insults towards me is rather infantile for your age, guess you are not the wiser man young fella.

Maybe this will shed some light on your wisdom ... play solo for 1 week with your superior gear to my own and fully explore catacombs from level 1 to Master Quest and actually EXPERIENCE the difference... one week test, are you able to do this without the aid of a group climb?

1 week... you should be able to get at least 10 Master Quests in that time if not more... remember, no whistling or using the level 5 Map /set easy 1 mode to complete Treasure Pest or Sneaky early on... come on, take the challenge... I posted my proof higher up in this thread getting to 71 and no Treasure Pest objective, and to be honest, if Sneaky did NOT appear in that level 45 map, I doubt TP would have since it did not spawn from level 46.81 to 70.05 when I completed that map.

Be the man you are and prove that you can do it and still have the same opinion to say Hell No.

EDIT: don't get me wrong, there have been times I have completed all up to Ambush and ignored Four corners solo'ing.

Is the difficulty of these objectives going to change is the question, and if so how much?

I like the idea of being able to complete shamans solo, but like others have stated, if it’s any more that 3-4 mobs it will be near impossible.

My gear is NOT superior - but I admit it may be above average.

I do NOT want the solo aspect reduced to a gimme status

And the idea of a solo Mirror Maze is ludicrous - it is the only real challenge left in this game,

The only difficulty is learning how to prepare properly for it.

And - just to point out something quite obvious: you would need to wait for a trapless event for it to be viable for all characters to solo play

Even then - Rogue/Monk/Ninja probably would not survive once they hit the various melee or caster immune EP's above lvl 70

Ffs I actually agree with rex for once. The world is coming to an end. Would the quests need to be tweaked some on solo? Sure .

Either this OR if going solo, you cant activate quests that take more people.

Imo all that needs to happen is if your playing solo it bypasses group quests.

Allowing you to complete more solo quests that are locked behind group quests that are not even needed to be completed to be able to spawn the others .

I enjoy both styles of play, solo and group, however I don’t foresee this happening as I think the intention is for this to be a group game and changes to specifically make solo better don’t align with that

I guess this is where you have to decide one of two things:

#1 Keep all quests and tweak it for solo having the chance to get the same rewards. (did a suggestion for this also) ... Basically Pinch / Hack / Ambush you can complete because max monster 3 is applied, so in retrospect, Shamans and other others would be 3 max. Now here is the conundrum, you can get NMNM solo (unless this changed) ... now, if max is 3 would you complete it in the first 3 waves, or would you want it to complete 9 waves and have 3 max continuing from wave 4 to 9? ... Note: I prefer this one.

#2 As Prince & Slush pointed out, ignore group only objectives and miss out on the rewards.

I haven't test it out, but I believe you can still complete level 101 objective solo.



Historically, I agree that it won't be implemented, but then Selling whites were suggested many times and was added. Yup, it is more group oriented, but then the current % spawn rate of objectives does NOT make it easier for for people that solo other than force 2 objectives early and still not be able to complete all objectives.

Here is another way to put it... I did a level 45 map starting at level 46.81 and completed it @ level 70 and the 3 active objectives were: Shamans, Treasure Pest & Sneaky... I only completed Sneaky, that is only 1 out of 2 objectives I could have gotten in that Map... 31x20 size 620 squares.

The difference is minuscule and doesn't really detach group runs. But that is my thoughts on it.



Solo aspect reduced to a gimme status? This suggestion does not imply that at all, in actual fact it is still harder to complete the current solo objectives already because of 2 reasons:

#1 the group objectives reduce chance of getting solo objectives because they stay on thee 3 max list
#2 the % chance for an objective to spawn on the map is already low, and on top of that, the catacomb size increases, and if you fall in a TD, the catacomb size increases to the Monster level, not the character level, which is a really bad feature to the game personally.

Solo Mirror Maze is up to the players discretion, when it first came out, I tried to solo it... this was before people realized that it was full group and you could not exit to town etc.

I would try a Rogue, Melee / Heal using Spears if I was on SC... there are some damn good gear on SC to make it viable in my opinion.

But if you feel that it is not viable and unrealistic or pointless for others to try, that is your prerogative and valid points for you.

Popcorn +1

Not interested in 9 ep face the evil on solo thanks but no thanks

I'd like it if could solo all quests.. I hate having seven shaman sit there as quest forever..until 46

Just in case it has slipped your mind:

4 Corners and Mirror Maze cannot become activated on a map
So there goes your solo MM on a map right down the drain

Also - Easy Mode cannot be activated at MM active lvls (71 plus) if i read it correctly

Bug Fixes:
Fixed a bug that was allowing only 1 EP to spawn when easy mode was set and a character leveled past 71


I really need to stop feuding with Rex -- it's like draining a swimming pool with a sieve
