No scaling?

[Mig]

I read online the game doesn't scale if you play solo, meaning playing solo is the exact same difficulty and number of enemies as playing with 3 people? So I assume it's not really playable in single player?
I don't play multiplayer games just want to know if I should skip this

On Youtube some people who played the network test said they had some groups third person get disconnected and that it seemed like it scaled in accordance with that.

Possible =/= fun

No scaling/balancing for solos in this sounds like a chore to me.

Another hard-pass-factor...

I finished all Formsoft souls-likes solo - im gud enough bru.

Difficulty and an unbalanced unfunny mess are two different things.

Anything from a play test should taken with a silo of salt; because anything present in such builds of a game, is usually there only for testing purposes.

Is there scaling or not? In another thread someone said there will be. Source anyone?

Pretty sure there isn't any. The entire design is focused on having a party of 3. This means there will be plenty of "multi-enemy" bosses, designed this way specifically for a party of 3 to tackle. And there isn't even spirit ashes you can use solo.
Also, and more importantly, when you die you don't just have to run back, you lose levels when you die. The reason for this is because with a party, people can revive you on the the spot without penalty for 30 seconds or so after you die. But as a solo player, you will have nobody to ress you, so you always lose levels when die. Not to mention the whole thing is on a timer, and running back combined with you losing levels will make it almost impossible to finish.

Does this mean it will be impossible to do a run solo? No. The same way it isn't impossible to do a level 1 no hit run on Dark souls. Will it be a fun challenge for an average player? I highly doubt it, it was designed for a party, unlike all other souls games.
