Would you, buy an episode that only had solos?

    I would. The game needs more solos, that are fun, challenging and makes you feel like you’re in the story.


    I want solos that have mechanics that you have to watch for. I want solos with bosses(1 to 3) that can one shot you if you don’t block or do a certain task. I want my hero to actually be a hero and not have to depend on others to get the job done.

    Game NEEDS more solo content/solo que options.

    I would in a heartbeat. It seems most of the solo content in this game is well done and like you said makes you feel like you are part of the story.

    No, but I have also never bought any other episodes. I wouldn't cancel my sub. :)
  4. StillDeathern Dedicated Player

    Doubtful.

    Pay two subs already, no need to purchase something I already have access to.
  5. Hraesvelg Always Right

    I have a lifetime account, so...no? I would play it, though, because...content is content.
  6. The Anxient Loyal Player

    No. I like solo and daily content but a whole episode with no group content would be dead after a few days.

    sigh....

    Wish I had that. I understand why it will never return but man that must be nice.

    I'm subbed, so I wouldn't be buying such an episode.

    It would certainly appeal to me, though. I've often felt that the 1 - 30 experience (the multi-part episodic stories that team you up with different DC Iconics) is one of the strongest aspects of the game. A whole DLC of that would be a LOT of fun for me - I'd just imagine that I'm starring in my own solo comic book for a few issues instead of the long-running series The Rebels. :D

    But I don't think it would appeal to most of my Leaguemates. Doing stuff together is the foundation of fun. :)

    No.
    Why limit content?
    We can have multiple solos and other content as well.

    I would. Never cared much for raids anyways, and those are played once weekly than done unless you spam replay badges. Solos are content you can do daily when you have time without having to worry about matching schedules and planning a date with your game.

    Ive been legendary for years, but yes I would like more solos and duos and alerts. Basically non-raids

    No, and wouldn't pay a sub to play it. Why? First of all, i like group content more than i like solos.

    Second, solos and duos are cool to do sometimes, to enjoy the lore, the chill of not having to deal with many people. But they get really repetitive after doing everyday the same thing over and over. I can't really play open world content for the entire duration of a episode because it becomes the most boring thing in the universe, frankly i'd rather just look at the sky for hours instead of doing solos everyday for 3-4months.

    We should get a little less open world and few more solo instances, balancing it to not become so repetitive.
    After all we are playing a MMO and not a solo game, solo content is important for the game, but in my opnion it should never be the main thing, making things balanced is ideal for the game.

    It can be debated whether or not we "need" more solo instances...but no way in hell should we have an entire Episode of just solo content. Nah....that's complete garbage. I'm not being rude, just vehement in my opposition to this terrible terrible idea. Come one...do you even realize how FAST that episode would wear out its welcome??? And once you figure out the mechanics, it would no longer hold a challenge...other than trying to stay awake as you play by yourself all episode long. It would not go over well with the majority of the game's population.

    If you were asking for more varied open world solo content, i'd back you up. That's something you can do in-between queues and all that, you can completely do it solo or work with others if you so choose. But queuing up for 5-6 solos...if I wanted that i'd be playing some other game.

    totally!
  16. GL4ever Well-Known Player

    I agree we need more solo content, but don't think an episode of just solo is a good idea. That said, it wouldn't chase me away if they did do one, just to try it out (subbed anyway, so it wouldn't cost me extra).

    I'd buy a game that offered significant content and offered new content (dlc). I really enjoy GW2 design, but not really into the genre. No endless upgradeness to gear and stats. Just new content now and then which is several new large maps, new raids/fractals, PvP balancing over time, server vs server vs server WvsWvsW PvP, with a living story/instances... smaller content throughout. I've not gotten a griffon mount. I've gotten the 4 other mounts.

    /wave@PS3. I used to have one before it bricked. All them confined-inner-space-console with heated parts. good luck consoles. Is a high turn over of hardware accessible business outcome? why? because its that profitable with routine failure rates? to offset the failures that are taken to task and the failures ignored by users?

    PS... I bought DCUO on steam just before launch in 2011. or right after launch. It was different from the prerelease demos, in a good way, meanwhile...

    ....

    ....Quake skin mods are DC character capable... due to a license we can't believe they agreed to..... and we made a few rooms with DC textures.... taa daa DCUO!
    UI? What is that?
    Progression system? for what's progression? users? doing what? they have DC skins for a TDM Quake game?

    :p:rolleyes:

    :p:rolleyes:

    What ArenaNet did with GW2 is totally what I think a comic book universe should do with a game.
    .Using chat AND a UI menu for lfg.
    .More frequent story instance content.
    .less frequent large map content releases. (new npcs to beat up on and get fair rewards for doing so, especially if NPCs are used in a meta map event that requires a few events to be completed to advance a narrative event meaningful for one of the two factions. Winning the event offers unique loot. MMO Casuals will learn what a Zerg is.) :rolleyes::oops:
    .New group content when ready.
    .Market place styles available for purchase with in game currency and out of game methods. (no stat benefit)
    .Balance passes as necessary determined.
    .No endless character rank.
    .Legendary item styles from rng drops from certain bosses. Not using an endless CR makes the entire game's content more enjoyable over the game's shelf life on a hard drive. no? are there lfg issues with older content?

    I'm in for this!

    Hmm....
    I would buy it but it would be unrealistic to even think about it because group content the main focus of this game and players who only want group content are the ones that are catered to first. That's a fact, plain and simple. It's always 4 man, 8 man and a sprinkling of duos. One solo should always be released along with groupings when releasing new content, in my opinion.

    It seems like the devs only want players to play in groups; when was the last time we have seen solo content released that actually matched what the group content offers? How many years ago was that?
