Still No Solo Game Play For the Game Yet?

[MycroftCanadaNS]

I'm just curious if there is a way to play solo, alone with no other players, and are there NPC dinosaurs who can hunt you down?

If not then I'll have to wait to install the game.

There probably won’t be AI like that in this game until all the mechanics are in place. They may release a few diet-specific dinos when they start introducing dinos too large for the current AI to impact, but that won’t be until the lesser food chain has been fleshed out.

The Isle had always been a PvP game. Players are the resource and I hope that doesn’t change anytime soon. AI should only ever be something to eat between hunting players IMO, though I WOULD like some more ambiance in the ecosystem. The Compy and Ptera are a step in the right direction as they serve a function without being worth hunting.

Keep in mind that multiplayer is one of The Isle's core aspects, while we will have varying degrees of AI, they aren't aimed at providing a balanced singleplayer experience as that's not the focus of the game.

If you're looking for a singleplayer title, I'd suggest looking into dinosaur games like Saurian.

This game should not have singleplayer. EVER.

The devs expect you to join the borg hivemind. Resistance is futile. Be like them or be assimilated. Again resistance is futile.

We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

Wolf Quest also has a very well put together single player mode.

This is true. I think it's even older than The Isle by this point and has an even better scent system.

It doesn't have multiplayer either (lacks strong player base. No online players = nothing). Content is very low, updates are pretty lazy small builds.

This game needs A.I just to keep it alive. This game is not going make it. It just won't.

When posts like this come up I have to wonder if the poster is even aware of how ironic they’re being? Do they not know the “Game is Dying/Dead” meme or are they just playing to the tune of it?

The isle is PVP based but Saurian is a good single player title for anyone looking for play without other players ruining their day.
