    I wouldn't mind this just because no one ever seems to be doing it. Maybe it just needs to be advertised to the players? Seems like anything not in the main alert section is ignored. That hideous "More" button isn't being clicked on.​​

    It'd be nice, but...

    O NOES, MAH MMORPG! EVERYONE MUST TEAM FOR EVERYTHING BECAUSE ITS FUN!

    Personally, I'd rather take on my nemesis alone. There's enough team content already.​​

    I have to say, its REALLY dissapointing how underwelming NemCon was updated

    NOBODY is motivated to queue up for it, and here i was hoping it would be brought back with its FULL GLORY

    I just want to be able to do my daily, even alone

    NemCon is structured in the way that each nemesis of all 5 team members have to be fought. In order for a solo queue to happen, a solo nemesis version of the instance has to be made, which I doubt is going to happen.

    Then again there are various LFG public channels for more opportunities to get a group going. There are other like-minded people who need to get their daily done.

    Really easy to solve, when you don't have a Nemesis, it gives you a random one, just do that when you queue alone, and nobody wants to do Nemcom these days, I asked a few times in trade, zone or cosmic HQ

    Maybe try again during busier periods. If its weekdays then during evenings when people get off work or school.

    I think he wants to fight Shadow Destroyer.

    Than...whats the point of nemcon, which is supposed to be a fight against nemesises before Shadow Destroyer?
  • blockwaveblockwave Posts: 329 Arc User
    If you don't have a nemesis, and go into Nemcon, they give you one random, they can give you 4 random boss + your nemesis, and I already do everything in end-game with people, can't I get the option to solo it too and give me some challenge ?

    Well, the problem is the "random" nemesis they'd give you would be a generic infernal one. And nothing special. And giving 4 random bosses from already existing character would defeat the "nem" in nemcon, which isn't why people do nemcon, they want to fight their nemesis and other nemesises, not generics. It would be bosscon. Plus, just because they'd allow you to solo it doesn't mean it would give you challenge. They'd have to overhaul nemcon to give you a challenge, and with how the game is going, they would make it impossible to solo.

    Challenge? Why would you be looking at Nemcon for a challenge. This seems like a rather bland argument to make Nemcon solo and sorry, it is intended for groups.

    If you want some solo challenge, then run Andrith on Elite without using teleport or similar powers to skip mobs.

    Another good challenge is to do solo missions in QWZ.

    If they somehow made nemcon soloable, they would make it easier...which would make it a joke.
  • stergasterga Posts: 2,353 Arc User
    OP didn't say anything about challenge. Me choosing to solo NemCon has no impact on the group people that isn't already a negative. Some people just want to get the damn daily done and don't really care about some babies b----ing about other people not playing the game in a way they approve of. No, it doesn't require changing NemCon for the solo experience. You can't even two man, which is a team, if you wanted to.

    Giving people a choice is SOOOO awful. This is the part where I roll my eyes.​​

    I assume the point is to make it so you can farm nemcon for costume parts and so on, which you currently can't really do unless you can pull together five people to run it. However, I suspect changing it would be more work than the devs want to do.

    Two things:
    • Queues and instances are different. It isn't just a flip of a switch to allow players to enter a queued lair soloable. Nemcon has always been a queued lair, and it would take quite a bit of work to make it an instance where players could enter without the aid of a queue.
    • Nemcon is intended as team based content and the team isn't too keen on the idea of making it soloable.
    • (From another thread) We have no intention of adding the costume drops into any vendor.
    • The team is aware of odd queue bugs surrounding the lair. This is mostly due to how the alert was originally built, and has no easy answer to address. While I can't make any promises that these issues will be addressed in the near future they are known and solutions are being looked into.

    It's funny how you're calling people "babies" when this post of yours is akin to someone stomping their foot on the ground and throwing a loud tantrum because they didn't get their way.
  • stergasterga Posts: 2,353 Arc User
    Being annoyed by people that act like the way others play is inferior, making assumptions based on nothing, or how someone's suggestion is getting pooped on by some penis compensation **** getting on a horse makes me a baby? Who knew?

    I also find the reading comprehension failures to be annoying as well. I guess that makes me a baby too.​​

    Sterga missed this post from OP. Where he clearly states he wants some challenge...nice reading skills Sterga.

    Except nobody so far has been acting elitist towards others regarding their gameplay preferences. Nobody wants to take away choices from others. All that's really been argued so far is that on a conceptual and programming level NemCon isn't meant to be done solo.

    Reading comprehension failures? Like how you completely missed that wanting a challenge is a reason why the OP wants to solo NemCon?

    I would buy the claim of a challenge if NemCon was a challenge, but it hasn't been that since it's introduction nearly 8 years ago. And 4 of the 5 Nemeses being infernal based means it would be even less so. To make it a challenge you'd have to intentionally gimp yourself because even Shadow Destroyer in NemCon is a joke to fight. So I don't exactly see the statement of "looking for a challenge" as a valid one.

    Thanks for the answer Kaiserin, if you don't want it to be soloable, maybe make it more apparent in the screen ? Idk, I just want my daily and be able to get the costumes.

  • kaiserin#0958 kaiserin Posts: 3,233 Cryptic Developer
    The daily mission has a team of 5 recommendation and the queue window states it requires a team of 5.​​
  • blockwaveblockwave Posts: 329 Arc User
    Not what I meant, make the queue button more apparent.
