Is the game worth getting into as a solo player?

[ARTHUR]

My friends don't really game any more so it's just me.

i just started playing this a few days ago and have been playing solo its been really fun and if you ever want to play with someone they have a very active discord, id say its worth it and hey if its not for you then you didnt lose anything since it has a free to play ver,

Do not pick rogue

It's pretty fun. I play only solo because I dont have friends or a mic. Also heard that rando's in tavern will team kill to get peoples loots after/during a run so that scares me off of looking for anyone.

If you are going to browse the f2p extended demo a bit then, change characters after testing a little, and before getting too much loot/invested because you will loose your stuff when a character is deleted...

Not exceptionally common if you just avoid anyone with an even slightly red name.

I've pugged with random teams a fair bit as of late and that's yet to happen to me, if anything the biggest problem I run into is people who speedrun rooms so fast that there's never any time to loot anything before I'm 2 rooms behind them.

Good game for a men, who have no time at all. Play alone and have fun.

All classes viable solo, some would disagree with what I'm about to say next but even Wizard is viable solo (would not make it your first class). I play solo Wizard and do just find, even in pvp. I use duel spell memory though.

If wanting to go true solo pick the fighter or cleric or ranger

spawn, look for exit, walk towards exit, fight or get ambushed 6-8 times in a single corridoor, exit map while hoping you don't get ganked/sniped by an ass-hat player who happens upon you while hurt/looking-elsewhere/busy.

repeat for 90% of gameplay until you have more "stuff" unlocked and are no longer only narrowly-surviving a basic enemy by burning half of your resources before you exit while being almost out-of-time.

my main issue is that the enemy avoidance/"combat" system has no tutorial/solo-practice-mode so your first 30-60 minutes will be spent in a queue then in a lobby listening to people being attacked by the other-bored-players then finally you get to test/practice before probably dying in 3-4 hits then back to step 1 until you figure out the basics.

that and the F2P version only having access to a single character so if you want to try anything else you have to pay or "delete your main" loosing all progress, loot and unlocks you had previously.

so sure, you CAN solo-queue but player beware about all the other BS within this forced-PvP (notably ganking and ambush tactics prevalent) game. "Gear score" does determine what queue/pool you end up in but there's nothing to stop an experienced player from pub-stomping as far as i can tell, not that they need to with how obtuse the combat system is while also lacking a tutorial/practice-arena.

I mostly play solo, so its definitely fun solo. But you can see all players in the lobby and invite randoms if you wanted.
