yea its not hard but annoying for a simple game the sell point for me is that you can be social relax and just click and talk the harder you make it and the less porfitable it is the less people will be interested in playing it, The wait times to form a group due to inactivity is a big turn off and anything we can do to turn that around would make the game more appealing


just on a side note how long does it normally takes the better palyers to solo ive done like 20 lvls with me and adain both have good set ups 2 hours later i was like god this is painful

~ 2 1/2 for solo... warlock

9-12 hour solo run from 1-71 (gear dependent)... I solo 95 to 99.99% of the time on hardcore, and my gear is sufficient... not great.
7-10 hour 2 man group run 1-71 (gear dependent)... hardly do this, but that is my estimate based on the same objectives.
Note: The time frame is dependent on clearing maps, TD's and the number of EPs you encounter.



That is not a solo climb for a lock.
______________________

@ Teash again... for group play, the game needs an overhaul to entice more gamers... as for me, since I am a simple person and enjoy gaining proficiencies, I don't mind Solo'ing,
in actual fact, solo'ing is the fastest way for a person to gain the most proficiencies for Weapons / Casting and healing.

I play other games to make FG to buy LS items, the droprate for GOOD items is pathetic... you get 89% more chances to find low end wellable items and about 3% higher level wellable
items... and then there are the EP encounters that drop low level items 85% of the time, 5% same tier level of the monster drop and the 10% with no drops.
NOTE: numbers in example above is about 99% correct, even if it does not equate to 100%

With the items now in existence, I doubt there would be anyone that can solo 71-101 without a death (unless they spin on the spot).
The objectives a a minor incentive, but in reality... +1-2 stat points mean nothing... even 100 max life of mana is nothing... I solo'd
Sneaky yesterday... got 2 vita stat points for it... thing is... it did NOT give me any extra hitpoints (I was level 58) like you would placing
a stat point there... Note: items with vita/int do not give more life / mana, but when you gain stat points, you SHOULD.

EDIT: Oh yeah... objectives are more oriented for DEXTERITY builds (even though some can be used universally).
Pinch / Bits / Treasure Pest / Ambush... thers are the easier ones, then there is Face and Four corners... which is like pinch, can put towards Dex.
Funny thing... one of the strength objectives... No maze no more... kinda sad really

It was for me.

Rex, are you just speaking about about hc in your walls or both cores?

if i actouly sit there and not take a break prob higher of 3 hours to 4 area id imo as long as u know wtf ur doing in a solo run and chose the right abilitys i defntly dont see it being hard or taken all day

To me, if you do NOT explore map from level 1-71, kill in TDs or try out all the objectives etc, than it is not a TRUE count for the time
a person can solo run the game...

This is my personal opinion based on the last 7 solo MQ climbs I did...

EDIT: make a full vid (no cuts) on how long it takes... with full explore and show the gear you use, then compare it to a newcomer to the game with 0fg and no guild etc.

i can do it in that time. I guess you spend too much time typing out walls of texts than playing the game Also my gear is probably better than yours. I also solo'd EXPLORED 71-101 on my lock and didn't die.

Whether you explore or not, you are still reaching the same goal -- level 71.


There is no need to make a video. Obviously, those who have been playing for years and have amassed a superb set, will be able to climb much faster than a newcomer with nothing.
Its up to the newcomer if he/she wants to put in the time to achieve the same speed/goals as the veteran.


Those EPS hurt @ 90+. Makes me fear for my prof. (havent died yet either)

More like spend alot of FG to be like vets with good gear. You can spend alot of time on here and find very little. Its hard to even get enough FG from this game to pay for vault, ya you don't need a vault but very helpful for wellables since Wells are no longer in town.

I am a player that likes to solo mainly because i do not have 2-3 hours to just sit in a group clicking.

Think James and deadmeat are spot on
