Fun solo?

[peep]

Do you think this game is fun solo player? I don't like playing with random people but some do. What do you think? Is there enough content to enjoy as solo person?

Most peoples play solo.

I'll be honest, I much rather play solo so that I can get more items, and so I can use mods

i think it's best played with friends. i am glad that i have some who play 7d2d. with friends it is easier to realize big projekts, like a large horde-base. once we even build a large castle with towers, a gate-house and a tavern.

but i played a lot of solo sessions too, mostly trying mods and new settings. when playing solo i stay nomad most of the time, with only small dwellings, mostly scavenging and just a bit of crafting, exploring the whole map.

i guess playing with randoms is difficult, like in every other mulitplayer game. you allways have bad eggs in the basket. never tried that. and i probably never will...

the beginnign is very fun at some point it feels shallow tho since no one sees the amazing base you build
I prefer freinds co-op maybe looking into a bigger server with PvP in teh future

[mdonnain]

i enjoy solo, and there is plenty mods to increase difficulties

solo is a blast, but if you play multiplayer, you've gotta have decent folk to play with, because otherwise it can get ruined pretty quick. Just depends who your with.

solo for 1000+ hours. i play with my friend sometimes which is pretty damn fun, but i would never play with some random strangers. People's online behavior is terrible.

PVP multiplayer in this game boggles my mind. Its a game with pvp as an afterthought, and the concept of pvp in this game just feels like a bunch of children getting together to beat up smaller children and measure their-

anyways...

Neutral multiplayer, where people just kinda play and do their own thing seems like it might be ok. The minor pros of having a world that can change without your input, having time advance without you being on so you can get to those high numbered days, and having the option, maybe, of interaction seems outweighed heavily by the chances of people just being jerks....breaking in and stealing stuff or outright trolling and demolishing other people's work.

Friendly/cooperative multiplayer is a LOT of fun, and really opens up your options in the game to play harder settings than you might play solo, or specialize in strange, hyper-specific, or joke levelling builds just for fun, because multiple people (even one friend) can help shore up other's weaknesses. Someone invested in strength for mining, someone invested in perception for salvaging, someone invested in intelligence for crafting, someone invested in endurance for setting up the farms. Plus the general fun of playing games cooperatively with friends can't be overstated.

Solo play in this game still has plenty to do, and even without being able to specialize as...deeply...as you could in co-op, there are plenty of viable and fun builds. The cons are that yes, without someone else to play with, the game will likely get stale fastER (faster than with other people, though how long the game will feel fresh depends on individual preferences). Also, solo, the emptiness of the world feels a bit more profound, stockpiling loot starts to feel a bit empty....how many stacks of sham chowder do you really need? how many backup augurs are worth keeping? Why are you holding onto that level 6 sniper rifle when you have NO points in intelligence? On the plus side though, you get to play EXACTLY how you want. Game settings? whatever you want. Mods? whatever you want! Tweak the XML files to your preferences? WHATEVER YOU WANT! Also....can pause the game in single player.

Hmmm I never tried any of the mods but maybe I should. It's interesting to see so many like solo. Thanks!

Oh, you would understand if you had the experience I once had when I tried MP!!

I joined a server and spawned in the wasteland... I started doing the usual stuff to survive and had to build a ragtag hideout to avoid wandering hordes and spawns.

I was starting to get the hang of it when suddenly I see a guy (probably a kid) coming at my place and constantly bunny hopping around... he started spamming concrete blocks over my place and was typing gibberish in the chat (like always laughing and such).

That was it.
I always played solo since then.

I've played the game both solo and multiplayer with just me and a friend. Both experiences are great, but yeah...the online multiplayer with randoms isn't great. Nobody co-operates and they just go on their own mission.

But, I love the game for single player most of all. It just has a much spookier atmosphere to it being alone. Still very enjoyable with the different settings one can change to make things easier or more difficult as you wish.

I absolutely did not turn the loot up to 200% Never!

1648 hours, I've never played a minute of it on a multiplayer server, or any server for that matter. All solo play.

Solo is more fun unless you're playing with mature and experienced players.

[Mell Chi]

i love it solo =)

[Khissi]

I do both... solo with settings I love, and MP with weenie settings for my grandkids, and mega settings with mods for my guildmates. These are people I've been gaming with for many, many years, though, that I trust with everything I am. I very rarely MP with strangers, though I've been known to log in to help someone get started or help with an issue or just help! It's one of the things I love about 7 Days, that you can share your world if you wish, and keep it safe if you wish, or do both. So many possibilities with 7 Days that the future can only be bright.
