Survival Mode Worth the Time?

[Arnie Rimsy BSc.SSc.]

Is it worth playing this mode? I played saga a few times, (about 24 hours altogether,) and never played again after.
Everyone kept leaving early or at late game when new players could not join, it was repetitive, the time pressure sucked all the fun out of doing anything because you had to do everything the same every time or you would suffer, and bosses would just one shot you anyway, which just wasn't fun to play. You'd get one shot, get downed, get one shot again by an AOE, die, respawn, walk back, do some dmg, and repeat it all again. Obviously your team mates could revive you here and there, but it's still not very exciting game play.
So is solo survival going to be fun in the sense that I can just collect stuff, explore and battle here and there without worrying about all that annoying stuff?

I play solo exclusively, I'm also a new player and I'd say survival is good to get to know the content of the game. For example in saga mode I have yet to face an ancient but in survival mode I've already seen some. I can hit day 15 in saga mode without a problem and I'm getting close to Fenrir but it's just not much time to explore enough, survival mode helps with that as there's no time pressure. But the crafting is a bit different because you won't have the villagers, instead you create different workbenches for different items to craft.

I'd say test it out, if you don't like it you can quit any time.

The current survival mode is more like an adventure mode.
You no longer have to defend your base and can explore the map at your pace.
It's now a great place to discover how the game works and to defeat every boss.
Going solo will still be a bit chalenging since some encounters are way more punishing when you get constantly attacked leaving little place to error but it's also great to focus on learning each boss patterns.
You will still get one shot if you dont prepare and since you'll have time you should upgrade your stuff and keep a set for each boss.

So far. Nope. Seems like a complete waste of your time.
I almost have level 2 weapons/shields before lvl 1 armor because of the stupid rng spawns for ♥♥♥♥ you need. Wouldn't recommend unless you want a time sink

I basically was after a time sink for a few days, but now I'm playing Pac-Man.

Thanks for the replies btw

Can we now "survive" past day 100 with no effort at all? Just run around and doing nothing?

Yes but 100 days are like 30hrs AFK
