I play solo, but not on purpose.

[Groovern]

Is it normal that I can't find players in dungeons, defenses and other activities all day? I'm just always solo.

[E n c h a n t r e s s]

shadowban, count 3 days from when u noticed this. that's when it ends

[N/A]

I'm running 400% solo with Ines. I'd do public but whiners who can't even build right complained so now I am eating a nerf so no incentive to go public when people don't even want me there. I doubt i'm the only one who went that route.

Arche XP is also a nightmarish grind. It took a very long time to max out my Ines and that was with 3 min runs. Like 8 hours.... I imagine that's where everyone is, i'm mostly seeing Luna, Yujin, Serena, Freyna, and Ines's in Sigma so it tracks that they moved over for Arche XP.

You're not shadow banned. Even in Warframe at peak hours if you wanted to do a specific node on the star chart or some content that hasn't been relevant for awhile then you'd be SOL cus ur not finding anyone. That's the nature of MMOs. Only MMO i've played that I could always group for was Destiny and that's only because they forced it and booooy where those queues horrible... Your "new player experience" right there lol

[Kalergi's Top Guy]

Probably got reported by someone for not playing exactly the way they want you to. So now you're shadowbanned for "abusive behavior" or some ♥♥♥♥ lmao

I play solo because I'm playing to level up my Descendants, run the levels at my pace, don't want to hear the constant b*tching if I'm using certain Descendants, and I don't have to worry about quitters quitting because they keep dying or feel like they're just there to pick up loot.

Judging by how many Russians i see in missions, i doubt about this. Banning some network routes inside Russia by their own government (so players lose access - but gamers were not a target, it is usually political unrelated stuff)- it is a different story.

I don't play Ines in public too. Also Ines for Arche solo grind is the fastest) You can use Arche exp boost, it adds 15%. Reina sell it.

just for context, anyone can report u being afk even in albion by a buncha trolling group of friends. crazy right

I try not to mind people not picking me up, but I get annoyed of people who don't let you pick them up or of people who will not pick people up especially when they rage if the team loses due to loss of life.

It seems like 90% of the player base in any game with a resurrection mechanic, people can't be bothered to pick people up. I would have thought mutual reviving would be common etiquette but no, everyone is selfish.

The only game i've played where people actually dutifully revived others was PSO2 and that was JP side only, NA everyone always had no moon atomizers or they "forgot" to stock back up. You grab your drink at the gate and refill consumables before jumping in, it's practically a ritual.........

That worked great for Ines... Now i'm over here forced to run the weirdest things on Descendants just to add clear. Like learning Explosive Propaganda is low key better than creative explosion for Eisemo when add clearing.

I feel bad for anyone trying to level up characters like Yujin, Luna, and Ajax.

If you are playing campaign first time, yes

If playing Normal, possibly, not many play Normal level

If playing Hard, depends, seems to happen sometimes for no reason understood

If playing Hard, also depends on content, certain content has more players thus shorter queue times and less chance of getting sent solo somewhere

That is not an issue, really) I level upped my Luna to 35 without even noticing that)
It is easy both, solo and in pubs.
I level upped Yujin whole HP path. If you have purge 30 level guns, it is not so hard. But better in pubs, where Serena/Ines can carry male weaklings)

I match make in the Void Vessal and Void Purge where I have no problems. I got the dog and all the stuff I need to upgrade him... so probably not anymore in the VV, at least for awhile.

Right now I am generally playing solo in the Sigma Sector to upgrade Serena. Playing there also helps finish the Inversion Reinforcement levels, the Battle Pass, Arche Tuning and getting and upgrading the new weapons. I also play the Void Abyss battle solo.

So mostly solo play for me ATM.

It will get worse in a couple weeks as per usual.

Sadly the fanbois are as always, blind to why the game is slowly dying.

Its lulz.

I'm not a fan and somehow survived the closure of several projects that I liked. But I don't think Descendant is a bad game. In addition to balance, the game is moving in the right direction. Also, I'm used to pessimistic moods regarding new games and their updates. Players will always compare the new with the old.
So, now I was able to find a party to go through the penetration, which confirms that I was in the shadow ban. It is not clear why, but it's good that it ended, I missed Ines in the party.

[DeathSpark]

Guess you can still get shadowban for playing Luna on Void Erotion also....even tho i am using the firearm buff and they can clearly see the increase in dam.
