This game is terrible for solo players
Even in yellow zones. You are trying to clear Morgana Small Camp for some minor rewards, and it's always people who play in group of 2 or more who will chase you away or you will lose hefty money repairing your gear.

Solo dungeons are BEYOND JOKE. Silver bag worth 4k silver for 20 min clearing Tier 6 dungeon. Seriously??

And will not even start on Black Zones and groups of 10-15 gankers. Good luck doing anything solo in Black Zone unless is very, very early in the morning on a working day.

Mists... Why they last for only a very short period of time? What is this?

As if the devs intentionally made the game that is very anti-solo player. Basically the only thing you can do as a solo player is chopping trees and gathering stones lol. No wonder reviews are falling down.

Terrible is a bit of an exaggeration, we try to include solo players in as many aspects of Albion gameplay as it makes sense: most of gathering, some crafting, fair amount of open world and faction warfare, several entire content types are also dedicated to solo players (and small groups if you have limited friends), as noted by other replies. Faction warfare also offers a basic, albeit inconsistent, introduction to ZvZ for those players who want to taste it without committing to guild-play.

Of course, it's an MMO, so some of the activities are meant to be accessed by organised and semi-organised groups, and avoiding lethal content is another self-imposed limitation; but overall solo play is much better than it was in the past, and it's only going to get better as we continue the development over the next patch cycles.

what did you expect in a open world pvp game?

i played albion off steam some years ago so i know what i am getting into.. you can play as a solo player, but you obviously have to be more skilled than most people if you want to do so

most of the people playing in groups in these type of games are unskilled cowards trying to prey on people which they perceive as weaker than themselves, you can show them who is boss by actually being better than them

if you dont want to become skilled yourself and suffer through the learning progress while also putting in time to grind things out as a solo player, then this game is not for you i am afraid

Skill issue

If you can't play just do mist camps, not as many players to knock you down there
Even in lethal ones, you won't 3v1ed, and 2v1s are rare

It's not really a problem, just find a new mist, there is plenty wisps in the mists.

Mists? Corrupted dungeons? Crystal arena? Trade missions? Faction warfare? Crafting? Trading?

Well.. its a MMO after all, you have to play with others to get the most out of the game anyway. If you want a perfect singe player experience, dont play a game that is expected to be played with others.

I am quite new here myself.. the new player solo experience is rough but doable.. almost every time i die i see something i could have done better

The biggest problem for me is that all combat fame farms got nerfed.. they nerfed the safe combat fame farms after years of other people "abusing" them, which is such a bad decision.
Those are the kind of changes i only know from 20 year old mmorpgs which are almost dead, because they dont give a F about new players

This game has hundreds of thousands of daily concurrent users. Most people aren't playing through Steam, dude.

Sure dude, that would make it one of the most popular mmorpgs of all time 😂
it is a niche game which simply funnels a whole continent onto 1 server, most others don't do that

I'm newly returning. Left one of my alts with tier 4 mage gear on so I've just been doing some trash solos. I want to get into just spamming expeditions again to relearn the gear and weapons as it was profitable, but dealing with the in-game chat is annoying and the lowest level expeditions never seem to pop. . . All this soo support has made the social annoying; when I first played I just met players naturally doing content. not the case so far.
My mistake, it has hundreds of thousands of daily active users and something like thirty thousand concurrent. Also, loads of games have one server per continent.

less rewards = more money you need to buy from Albion devs super simple
