we need more solo PvE content

[Green Gnoblin]

Solo dungeon sucks. A few days ago a did a VII solo dungeon and got 50k of item profit. Are you low level? you can't play in red or black zones. I joined a faction and tried to fight but nobody wanted to defend the outposts so I couldn't do anything.
This new easter event only gives content to high level older players, because if you are new or have low gear (with low I mean bellow tier 4 or below) you die when trying to get a chest.

I completely understand that this game is PvP full loot focus game, but I still believe that leaving the rest of the players as second priority it is not ok. Playing solo or in a group, you are still paying premium (for those who do).

The only thing you can do as a solo player is gather resources and sell, because crafting it is not even worth it. To actually reach a good enough crafting level where you can make profit you need at least tier VI gear skill, and that is level 60/100 of any item crafting.

It just sucks. The game is just made to make the player to suffer so they MUST buy premium or play with others. You are forced to buy premium each month and to play with people who you don't want to play just so you the game becomes enjoyable... but how are you gonna enjoy the game if you are doing stuff that you don't want to do?

People have said "then stop playing" or "play other game" but you can't because there isn't a game like albion that is singleplayer (or more solo PvE focus)

solo dungeons are 0 risk. why should an activity with 0 risk have high reward?

That is not true. If you do a solo dungeon in red zone or black zone other people can also join and kill you. I am not making this up because that did happened to me. That is how I died the last time.

The Mists are fun solo content I think. They have a fair number of idiots running around in 8.3 gear bullying lesser players, especially in yellow zones, but there are others in lower-tier gear looking for fair fights.

Solo dungeons, AFAIK, can only be entered by other players within a minute and a half of the first one entering. Enter and wait; if anyone follows you in, exit. The safety bubble from going through the portal will keep you safe until you mount up and run away. If 90 seconds pass and no one has crashed your solo dungeon, the portal should lock, making you totally safe until you exit.

And chests are not all bad. Fights break out and players get knocked down at half or 3/4 of them, but at many players form parties and share, or just scramble madly to grab loot without attacking each other. Ive even found a few uncontested chests. I had fantastic luck yesterday, getting a T8 demonic staff from one chest, T8 assassin shoes from another, and right before quitting for the night I killed a YZ mob and it dropped a 7.3 undead cape. I did get knocked out a couple of times, which in T8 fishing gear with 6 T8 gathering tools and a T8 nature staff cost me a lot to repair, but the chest loot covered that bill with a whole lot left over.

if you don't have an optimal build a dungeon can take an hour to clear for only 40K even with an optimal build it still takes about 20 minutes dungeons need to be buffed to make them worth the time right now they're not worth it why should I do something grindy and painful for nothing fun Factor doesn't really exist

Its on you if you are running unoptimal builds. If you're in there with builds without AoE clear (example: dagger pair without stalker or specter) you shouldnt complain at all. Solos are mostly safe anyways, if you play smart that is, and wait for spawn buff if someone enters and not attack them. I doubt they'll make one of the "safest" ways to farm fame worth more than they are now. Black Market got nerfed plenty of times since I've started. Albion very much likes their Risk vs Reward.
Though I'll agree with one thing: The PvE leaves a lot to be desired.

Idk who said you were forced to buy premium but they're definitely wrong lol. Sure it gives loot buff for chests but lots of people have gotten it with ease without buying. Playing with some casual guilds and learn how to play with them is the fun of the game. If you dont like the people you've met, move to another guild and try again. Trust me this game gets a lot better when you find "that group that clicks." Though makes me wonder why people choose to play MMORPG's if they don't want to play with people.

I dunno, just yesterday, I did one solo dungeon in T6 Black and got 700k profit. I'd say that's worth the tiny time investment for relatively safe content. Also it's fun to test out new weapons/armor in them.

But I do think there should be more PvE content for solo players, the problem i; I don't know what. There's solo dungeons, mists, gathering, farming, ratting and corrupted dungeons already, so what else would you need?

I mean, I wouldn't mind there being more safe, fun PvP modes, but that's PvP.

yes, and someone joined before the 90 seconds passed. There are groups everywhere just ganking and hunting solo players. Can't do anything 1vs3

Solo dungeons close after 90 seconds. making them 0 risk. i would know because i have 300+ million total fame.
