Solo Play

I realize this game is heavily squad based, good stuff, but it isn't real friendly to the player that enjoys solo play.
Why not consider taking the game to the next level, and design some things that will benefit those that enjoy just doing their own thing?
Peace...

It's not called MMORPG for nothingb:surrender if u wanna play solo, just buy a single player game...0

Quite many people feel the need to be alone at times. When people gather, drama is unavoidable.
It's not beyond reason and logic to include for those that would prefer to be alone for a while...
Or those that want to play with only 1, or 2 other people, not a full squad of 6, nevertheless the upcoming squad of 10.0 -
That's what quests are for... Furthermore, I lvled up a lot (102, don't pay attention to the nooby archer) just by solo grinding.nevertheless the upcoming squad of 10[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0

There's been rumors that squad capacity is being raised to 10, but that's another subject.
Quests are all fine and shiny at lvl 1-40, but when you get to lvl 70+ and you get quests to kill 90 mobs, it starts to get quite frustrating when after hours of grinding all you get is about 50k coin and 0,3% towards your next lvl.
Questing simply isn't worth it. You're much better off doing Rebirth, or Frostcovered.
I LOVED questing in my early lvls, but it has been coming to be a bother lately.0 -

I kill mobs all the time with my main usually. The quests won't be too frustrating when farming. Also, you must be having trouble grinding or unlucky... because I made 100K+ in about an hour grinding bloodshot hexweb masters 0.o as a barbarian too.
Questing is worth it, your just not a patient type.
I loved questing in my early LVLs too, but it is still fun, you get to squad with some people and communication with them when they randomly invite xD. Sometimes being friends with them. I experience that as mid LVLs too.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Nobody will take an inexperienced, and on top of that sin to Rebirth QQ b:cry (when I get enough levels)
EDIT: meant inexperienced with those places ofc not with my class >.< Actually I think I'd even learn it all from one run and be a 'pro' after but nobody will want to do this 1 run and risk a wipe b:sadFirst 103 on Raging Tide 30 Oct 2010

mmorpg or not, i know one or two that have ONLY solo instances and no squad instances at all.
personally i just want a whole feild of mobs to myself, because i always end up KSing everyone in my way, because i dont like people invading my space when grinding. Its really upsetting to me and everyone else. I came from playing 5 years of a game where grinding spots were held sacred and most people respected that unless they were coming to pk you... but in perfect world people dont respect your space and just KS mobs like its their job, so all i can do is KS back. Its rather annoying. I guess thats why i spend most of my time soloing FBs, TTs and most recently lunar. Just sucks ill still have to squad sometime if i wish not to buy certain mats. (unless i can get nice people to help open up squad mode) ... And it feels like the game is getting smaller everyday as there is more and more people in my way. sigh.Q - How to win on Perfect World?

that tends to happen when a grinding spot holds 15 mobs of 1 type only. If some1 comes, chance is he has a quest, coz no1 grinds anymore. Just move a bit, ull be left alone. (aspecially in Sanctuary, its a PvE server, they cant even pk u, so there's really no advantages in u being in the same spot....
Ur other games must have had either very large grinding areas or very few players, coz theres just no way we can all have our private grinding areab:surrender0 -

and no, you keep moving down.. they keep coming in to your space. No respect, seriously.. iv seen people use holy path to get to each mob before i do.... Yea they have to resort to that around me. I dont get what you mean about advantage in same spot? if i can find an area that lets me turn shoot turn shoot turn shoot without having to move, then why shouldnt i stay in one spot? and yes people do grind, free players still grind for money. Not everyone can get a squad all the time to run instances that arent BH.
Lets talk about RESPECT. The other day on my psychic i was trying to get a quest done. Naturally when someone else is closer to a mob, i let them have it and go find a new mob. Thats respect that i dont get back. Nope, i give people the space, i dont KS. and what to i get in return from these people? KSed. 4 mobs in a row.. this cleric.. i was closest to each mob, but the cleric insisted to keep trying to ks me. I'm a psychic and thats nearly impossible for a cleric to do, but he kept trying over and over... so i try to send squad invite to be nice. They deny it. are you kidding me? this person hasnt got a single mob over me and still insists on KSing me over and over and wont squad up. This is what im talking about.. i dont get it. And theres people that come on the forums and say they never squad at quest spots... these are the same people who are trying to KS everybody over some useless self pride.
the game i came from, is prolly second only to this game in best f2p games out there right now. (i would say first, but they dont have all the cute girly stuff that perfect world has) There were plenty of people who played, but there was no safety shield in that game. (like pvp servers here) So people respected each other because every time someone got PKed it became a "who has more friends to kick your butt" game.... and then if you did start those fights, you would be on KOS by entire guild. anyways... dont tell me to roll a pvp server when i already have a expensive herc on sanc. I never played a game that had a saftey sheild and didnt really understand how it worked. Now i spend my days teaching children to respect or get out the way.Q - How to win on Perfect World?

I don't understand... in your first post you said you spend your time KSing and on the second you say you never KS.
Something's not right... =/
Another thing, you'd be very lucky to find 15 of 1 single mob. There are some batches out there, but not really the norm. This is why camping a single spot, or claiming an area is not reasonable at all, but rather selfish.
A third thing is... range and distance are relative in Perfect World. Just because a cleric is still some distance away, doesn't mean they're not in range to claim aggro first. If they get aggro first and you get the kill, then you've KS'ed, regardless how far you're from the mob.
For melee people range and distance is more obvious and double as frustrating if they have to battle with an archer, or something to get any kills. This is when holypath becomes their friend.0
