The population on HC isn't that bad... There are just alot of people who prefer to solo or only cata in select groups...

Actually some days it really can be.. if you are looking for a group you have to put in effort. Outcast HC cata's were pretty much always arranged in vent.. but then we had most of "the" HC players looking in our vent for games.
There really aren't tons of HC players that look for groups. The newer players tend too... but the ones who are established don't advertise too much as they know who they are speaking to directly for a game. I don't know how many times we would have 3 or 4 looking for a cata group and it just wouldn't happen due to lack of players and players on line

If that's what LS was intended to be... Then why wasn't it originally made that way?

Solo is the way the game has been played since day one... Why get rid of it now?!?


Because in order to go from point A to B and have a playable (and fun game) along the way, one must take it in steps, and sometimes take slight detours to get there. If I was working only on LS, and had nothing else to do, and had a team of developers working with me, this would not be an issue.

Things will continue to come in steps, and there will be detours along the way. I don't anticipate this game being where I fully envision it being for many many years to come, but it will continually change and progress towards that vision. This particular update is a huge step in that direction, considerably larger than the update from turn based to graphical real time (as I've hinted at to various people who have already posted as much in previous topics.)

Now please kindly remove yourself from my topic. You clearly have nothing to contribute.

uhm.. why do you think nothing got changed since years? except the decreased droprate at higher levels?..

its obvious that he wants people to not play arena.


Its truly impossible(!!!) to make it a 100% multiplayer game. For that there are way more players needed

Profs need to be changed to get them in catas

I couldn't tell you that reason for sure, but look at the updates that have been made. Starting with the introduction of catacombs then moving onto improvements in catacombs with the mana usage in the acc slot and the megacrit update not to mention some items you can't get in the arena, while the arena was left virtually alone.
Common sense would tell you that LS is geared toward more of a multiplayer game, but then again some people don't have common sense :rolleyes:

Why's everyone jumping to conclusions paul's getting rid of solo?

Anyways - I think some monsters will have extra resistance to certain elements, this way it will balance out caster catas by making the casters weaker.

Mostly was bringing out the counter-points to several arguements.

None the less, wasn't intended to upset you ofc.

Why can't I stay and play with the kiddies :(. Work is going to be so boring now...

Afk I guess. I was straight up told...

Have a seat, have a seat. I see here you want to "blank her blank."

Good luck with all the changes. As much as people will complain, you know the majority will enjoy it and are just afraid of change :)
