Game made for 4 people, but forced to play solo for most missions?

[⎛⎝Majicat Zoey⎠⎞]

I get that its a beta and that balancing is off, but playing the little story missions solo is the worst experience ive had in an MMO. Enemies will just swarm you and lock you in place and then you die 5 times almost immediately.

Boss missions make it so if you die you have to do the whole fight completely over again and that is not fun, if you don't have friend or some way to call in randoms to play with you you might as well just go do something else.

is there some way to force other players to do little story mission with me like in ANTHEM so they get rewarded for helping out people who otherwise will not be able to complete some missions?

[Fenrir]

if anything, you're more forced to do missions with others rather than solo, lol

I'm kinda reaching that point right now where playing solo is causing me to die and fail certain missions because:

A. I run out of ammo
B. There are too many enemies respawning and there's absolutely no way to keep up with them all at once with only one person

Starting around the second map, getting immunity to being frozen is pretty much mandatory. You can farm it from the easiest Void Intercept (Normal rated for Level 10).
Not sure how it's gonna be in the real release since doing Void Intercepts requires some kind of material that is apparently free in this test.

Some defense missions definitely are overtuned with way too many adds. At least sometimes you can run out of the zone for a while and come back to it.

I'm on the third map and I've done everything solo except for the big raid type boss missions. I'm using the character with the grenade and a very basic assault rifle. My little item slots just lean towards firepower damage and skill damage, though I honestly don't think my grenade skill is very useful.

Only problem I run into is running out of ammo but running in circles looking for ammo usually keeps me alive because I run into health packs.

I never needed anyone else and I've been able to get through everything just fine on solo. If enemies swarm you, and you're playing as Ajax, just use your skills to push them away. Ajax has two great skills for quickly clearing enemies around you, and he has more than one type of shield. Make good use of them.

Also, make sure you're upgrading everything. You've got your descendant level, weapon levels, weapon modules, reactor, descendant modules, etc.

Wait I can level up my weapon? It's just been leveling up on it's own. Or are you talking about the level transfer thing? Like I said, I'm on the third map doing just fine. If I'm missing a mechanic though I'd love to know.

they need put matchmaking like destiny or warframe in my opinion

[LevrIX]

Well, then they would have written that this is a single - player game ! And the creators also refer to Destiny, but Destiny and Warframe are multiplayer games, and here is some kind of deception. Most of them run solo and say that they don't need anyone, so write that your game is not an MMO, and don't mislead players who want to play it. For example, I don't need an MMO game that needs to be played solo

[😎Astran😾]

I'm going to check out if they've fixed this "feature" when I have to solo an entire 4-player-balanced mission solo and if it's still in the game when I'm out till they fix this crap.

The experience is not fun at all

Holy necro

[Galroche]

well, necro aside they did add a feature to throw you into a game where people are doing the quest in multiplayer (press esc -> send for reinforcement or something along those line) so you should not be locked into doing a quest solo unless there is really not team with open slot doing it (should not happen when the game is still new)

[Moga CMDR]

I really can't believe people are so uniformed that they don't understand what single-player means, and what it does not mean.

There is no deception. And no one should expect that a multiplayer game, that can be played solo, is designed around solo players.

It's been like this for decades.

[LevrIX]

as I understand it, people have decided that since they close group content in solo, there is a reason to increase self-esteem. But because of such people, you just don't want to play games like this, where it's impossible to find a band and everyone plays solo

I played the first Beta and was a drag to play solo, I came to ask if was still the case and got my answer. So the game is decided for groups only to be enjoyable, i guess i will pass it then.
