In 2 days I got 4 characters to level 20 Solo

Each of them have 500+ gold. Felt like getting them properly geared before doing some high roller runs with some pals this week.

Anyone saying that solo is impossible is simply incorrect.

It appears you got good where others didn't get good.

But was it fun, engaging, or fair to do?

No, no it wasn't.

Don't lie to yourself.

And he has lots of time on his hands, a luxury not afforded everyone.

And who says its going to remain the same on release? It starts out easy and they gauge it harder to encourage paying to advance at the old free rate.

I will concede that it's harder to get into the game if you have less time, much like most games with a high skill ceiling. Though I think you could reach level 20 in reasonable time if you weren't constrained by the length of the playtest. I got a fulltime job myself and I reached level 17/11 on a pair of characters respectively.

Yes, it was fun, engaging, and fair.

Sorry if your narrative didnt fit.

And the coping lies continue.

You did that and other people's expense and now asking what's wrong with them 😆

I never asked what was wrong with anyone. I stated that solo is possible by skilled players.

Furthermore, your implications that I stole gear from other players in a game about stealing gear from other players is a bit strange. I am playing the game the way the devs intended :)

"I ran out and played like a absolute beta and it was completely unfun! See, doable!"
Lowbei Dec 19, 2022 @ 12:52pm 
I had a lot of fun.

A lot of players died to donate their gear and loot to me, so salt comes with the territory. No worries :)

Dude stop looking for attention on a steam discussion page. I’ve got a couple extractions barely playing but it doesn’t negate the fact that there’s a high chance your gonna get molly womped by a 3 stack that should be in high roller. It’s not at all a skill based game so stop acting like it’s not completely stupid that no matter what you’re guaranteed to die like crazy. Every recent game has MM with an option on how to que for a reason. This game will die if it doesn’t stop being naive.

I extract about 75% of my matches.

The game is definitely skill based.

Perhaps check out one of the guides if youre having trouble.

Thats cool and all. To bad that your bias is so heavy. Its not about being good its about being lucky of cheating. There is no mechanic that prevents players from killing you in the first few levels of a class as weak as wiz or barb. Hiding from people doesn't even work. Sure maybe a lvl 20 wiz with invis and meditation may escape more frequently, but I have ended multiple players careers with an instant wall pyro or chain lightning. I can garuntee its not skill unless there set portals. Rng and 3 man squads as a solo make it entirely Rng. Yes you can outplay 3man squads or attempt to avoid them, but it only takes 1 slow to end you. 1 ranged spell clipping you or a snare. Never encountering enemys is an invis thing.
