Guys don't make fun of my idea b:cry

Come on it can't be that bad, some mini games or mini dungeons where you fight elite mobs that can be soloed (don't hit that hard etc) and maybe some tactical boss who can be soloed too with some nice rewards but not great. Much better than boring grinding but not legendary as in squad dungeons like TT etc.

Possibility of some rewards: flawless shards, event food or great pots (not NPC **** ones :P), some rep items, crafting mats, mirages, etc

At least will give you something to do when none of your friends are on and can't find a squad, instead of grinding who almost nobody does anyway.

lol

btw crafting mats I meant those dropped from mobs, which could have been gotten in grinding also so it won't affect it much. But at least this would be fun not like grinding.

Mirages are a lot from TT anyway, and in this solo stuff they would be less in number compared to the time it takes of course.

Flawless and foods... meh they are already pretty much infinite if you look at amount of tokens (thanks to how many bought packs) there are on any server lol

As a matter a fact i have 5/6 tt99 gold armor. Guess which piece i dont have. The one that requires a squad. You guessed it the chestplate. I cant make tsu ghost masks. If iI could, this wouldn't be an issue. Know how i got the rest? I forged and bought from ah. Maybe you are satisified with not having the best, but iI am not. All I am partitioning is that the game should not heavily rely on squadding people. I think there should be a means for people to advance if partying other people depended on it. I think people replying are more worried about ripping people off than actually letting people enjoy the game play. Reconsider your decision, I bet most of you replying fall in this category of not finding what you need. People dont always feel like doing what you want to all the time. Thats why there is a need to extend the solo mode. So people can advance.

ROFL.... I'm not the one who can't find a squad for 3-2 minister... rofl... u serious... I can solo that goon... 90s (or lower) ppl can easy handle the 1st boses... /facepalm

Yeah I agree, it be really pr0 if TT and Lunar had solo modes, or they had events likes CoA/DT that you dont need to find a squad for.. come on PWI get it sorted

Hopefully, the makers will hear our voices and make am immediate change to the gameplay.

Oh they do receive our suggestions from the GMs..... the makers simply don't care what the players want. If they did, all overdue bugs and glitches that needed to be fixed would have been taken care of by now.

Rawrgh - Raging Tide

NuBlade your a BM and the only weapon you ever use is axes, and to be fair that wouldn't be so bad if they were decent axes, but no, you use level 92 2* OHT axes with *drumroll* +100% maximum endurance, so why not just work on your incredibad axes?


Although to be fair that was a couple of weeks ago, maybe you've upgraded lol.

Whilst most of that is a good point - the game does surely lack things that I can just drop in and say "Ok, I've got half an hour, let's do this" - and if other people come great, and if not, that's fine too.

FB59 I could do that to. It was one of the things I really liked about the game.

Now? 69 is tiger territory. 79 I can actually do it to - though it costs wines to be done in any sane amount of time (and one mistake leaves me dead)

Eden takes way longer than half an hour (and seriously, why is 89 easier than 69 and 79?) - brimstone has mobs that steal-health faster than I can damage them.

TT and lunar and frost require a squad up-front to open the doors, so those are out.


I'd like som casual content. Doesn't have to be rewarding, I'm just really really REALLY sick and tired of one-man-army.

With the right build, skills and weapons you should be able to solo, or do those runs with just a cleric.

Cry more please.

H3ll, I know if I was 100, I'd be smashing heads in Nirvana with whoever the heck wanted to come with me...bashing as many Zulu's and KD's as I could possibly handle at once, generally making like h3ll for any Assassin who came within a ten foot radius of me.....and totally helping people with quests, man.....seriously.

Get up and do something.

Erm he is talking about the 3-2's minister's green mat o.o;;

Yes, I re-read his post. I read it as him needing one last chest gold and 3-2 green. My mistake.

Tsu's Ghost Mask drops 1-2 if you're lucky, none if you're not. Need at least 3-4 runs of that. I wouldn't help farm it for someone I didn't know either.

On LC it only costs about 1m ea, probably a lot more over there.

LMAO I still don't get your point.

You think I'm bored because I leveled too fast? No, actually I'm bored atm for leveling too slow, yeah even with hypering in FC, but it has nothing to do with this thread anyhow.

Also fyi I never bought a single Oracle, used around 3 in total which I got from supply stash/drops, but that's it.

And don't even start flaming me about what I said that I find boring I stay so much at one level. I don't care at all that at "your time" you had to grind painfully to level up and was actually more of a boredom playing this game than actual entertainment.

Anyway you can flame me for liking BH's and hypers how much you want, in the end you're the one who actually doesn't really like to play the game except for some silly "achievement" on leveling up. I bet you're one of those who said they get bored at 100 because there's "nothing to do" (which means only no more leveling up achievement though). It's simple, you don't play for fun, otherwise you'd like running stuff at 100 too. You only play to have as much torture as possible having an achievement and brag for it when you manage to level up, and would prefer that way and hate how there are new fast leveling systems now. Sorry to disappoint you but the game has BH and hypers now, so I think it's you who doesn't get the "point of the game" here b:bye

EDIT: btw I'm not a noob who rushes with leveling. I do all my quests and explore all dungeons/content. I just don't find it fun to stay at one level for a week after I did all content there is to it.

Yay, alt-conversation!
I don't know if you realized it but oracles are so 2009. Now nearly every1 is using Hypers, which are way more cost-efficient than oracles.
I bet you use them too, or want to prove it wrong?
So "wtf the point of the game was..." is? You should continue with an explanation instead of giving an example of the average QQer.
And it was PWI who changed the game to how you have to accept it now, not twisted.
Go with the flow or die trying to stay "oldschool" is how it works, the QQ about Oracles (which every 2nd 100+ is using for his alt to reach this or that lvl fast...yeah Oracle noobs, probably even those who were already 100 before you, who QQ here, even reached 80. But nvm, if you want a reason to QQ you always find one.)

Yeah back in the days you needed a week to lvl once in the 90+ area, but who cares about that now? It's still the "*points at someone* YOU ORACLE NOOOOB!" - **** which was already common a few months ago.

Before it gets to tl;dr and most ppl aren't capable of argueing but even more of insulting and coming up with different topics I just post something at the real topic:

Yeah it's sometimes really annoying to get a squad for the TT99 Chest gold mats, and you probably have to do more than a few runs to get 2 of them. Even more if there are others who want to get them too, because it's I help you - You help me in most cases.
If there would be a solo option to farm those mats it should be like the mini-worldbosses. Easier but a little chance to drop a gold mat (Like the chance to get chrono pages from worldbosses compared to the chance to get chrono pages from mini-worldbosses).
So in the end you would end up putting more effort (time) into farming those gold mats solo compared to farming them in squad mode.
Sooner or later every1 will get TT99 gold, but it would be annoying to see every1 who just turned 99 a few days ago running around with a full TT99 Gold set.
But it's still not a good solution.
I know how it turns out when you make things solo-able. There will be 1 or 2 classes who can do this in a short amount of time compared to all the other classes.
A BM would probably benefit the most from this (ok, he already has to have pretty good equips, but once that is done the following will be the case)...he just runs through it, probably with bloodpaint which doesn't even run out before he finishes.
Venos could make it quite fast too, but still are way behind a BM, the rest is kinda...yeah filter circumvention, you know what I mean.
So the point of this is, that those classes will make more and more money, selling this stuff to the classes who aren't really capable of farming them in an acceptable time and this will cause a great imbalance.
Uber BMs get richer and richer, the rest can just watch and buy from them or end up putting a lot of effort into their gear, when they probably could buy it by using any othe means of making money.

tl;dr I'm sry.
And Rawrgh, I'm sry for making a non-troll post with a troll alt, I hope you can forgive me and we can continue using your strap-on tonight.

I am a lvl 100 bm who is fed up with waiting on squads to do anything. I have been waiting to gather gold mats to cmplete my armor amongst several things that i need to achieve. I know there are many more just like me that are stuck with quests they cant do because they cant find the people to do them. This is our chance to speak up and get the attention of the game makers. I believe if enough people speak out, then they would change the gameplay to help us to advance without dependence on others. I am frankly tired of being stuck in a spot because i dont have enough ppl to get it done. Perhaps, if the game were balanced fairly between squad and solo mode, people would be able to advance more quickly.

How more easier can this game get? >.> A good portion of other MMOs dont even let you grind and lvl SOLO b:surrender (aka finding squads 2hrs, finding a camp 1hr..) If you have time to speak up on the forum, speak up in game. A good 3 years of having to make my own leveling parties in another game taught me that sitting on my butt ingame and waiting for pple to WC something or asking in faction chat aint gonna get nothing done. Get a tele and WC for your quests a few min. at a time. There are so many pple just WAITING for a wc like that cause they cant take the initiative themselves. Start with BHs or something and get your named known. Once they notice you being able to lead things, they will freaking make reservations to save their spot in the squads you make even before you WC.

Yeah, maybe they should make something like the Cube, or as the other guy said solo mode TT or CoA, or DT, or like races... or maybe they could have armies of wraiths attack small towns randomly. Or something like it.

b:chuckle

Try soloing all the FBs, world chat that you're helping with bosses, ask in guild chat if anyone needs a DD... there's always something to do if you actually want to do something.

Gaiz ,gaiz ,gaiz.... don't be mean to poor NuBlade here . Just because he has full immaculate saphire shards in all his armors ( C'mon dude...+10 vit stones , you can do it ! ) , uses Draw Blood & Tiger Maw in pvp doesn't mean you can make fun of him . Help him become " THE BEST" b:laugh .

Heleghir - Raging Tide

heh, he should hit me up sometime, i'm sure this little squishy sin can do more than he can since i actually know how to play my class (no hyper/oracle of whatev, works well, try it)

i'll leave ya a number to call me on...

Actually instant leveling stones wouldn't be a bad idea as long as only I can use them. Because I know there are freaks out there to abuse them, just like hypers.

Even if I had them I would level once every 3 days or so like now, because I am not rushing as I said. I do explore all content and try all tricks etc, but when I'm "done" with one level, why would it be fun and/or learning more from it by staying at it longer than I need just cuz I can't find a way to level fast?

You can bash my opinion about disliking the "effort" to level all you want, but this has nothing to do with me being one of those noobs who doesn't know how to play their class. I'm pretty sure I know all tricks for my level possible heck I even remember all dungeon quests you have to do when I help lowbies.
