Will the game lock progress (endgame) for solo players?

[Alleluja2000]

[EDIT] Okay! Thank you all for answers. Looks like for now you can solo all content which is a fantastic news. That being said upcoming raids are still a question mark.
I'll wait for purchase then, until I know if those are soloable as well.
Thx again!

[OP] I'm thinking about buying the game but I like play games like that (MH series) solo and I always apreaciate that in MH pretty much all content is 100% soloable.

So here's the question - Can you play ALL endgame content solo?
I heard that raids are coming in the next patch - So same question. Any news about locking that content from solo players by forcing coop?

Yes, there exists several quest mission with DPS check but they are not within the story. Failing to do so result in game over as boss will nuke you with attack that does 999999 damage regardless if you have auto-revive. You can build your own party of 3 AI but it will require more time and RNG compared to relying on co-op players that focus their resources on their main.

There is a pretty competent AI that can help you with everything if you dont want to use coop matchmaking. So yeah.. everything is soloable. That said.. there are a couple of missions with dmg checks but with enough grind you can make everyone strong enough to beat them.

We dunno about raids.. there is one more mission comming and that doesnt look like it will be different than the stuff we currently have.

You can solo it all but you'll have to grind a lot to get your AI party members damage up enough to pass late game dps checks.

If you save burst all the dps checks are easily soloable. Ive screenshoted the ends of my solo runs for Pyet-A and the black dragon so its there if you want proof.
I personally would consider the ice+wind dragon quest the biggest hurdle for solo play. The bots can not stay alive in that fight whatsoever. They just cant handle the mechanics but its very specific to that fight.
Everything else they are arguably better than trying to get it done in public lobbies because theres always that 1 guy farming downs.

Online is required for dalia badges (a daily system that gives access to a lot of really rare mats/items which all can technically be gained in other ways but can be a huge pain without, especially the character specific sigils). However its just 1 quick quest every couple of days so not a huge deal.

im up to proud, the hardest difficulty, where there are quests with multiple bosses and the ai doesnt prioritise one boss or separate them which makes it harder. ai is better at dodging and basically never die but their damage seems worse, made even worse bc theyre not as geared as much as my main
everything seems doable at least tho, so far anyway

[Entelechia]

no there isn't. building ai to me is part of the fun and even just simply raising their mastery make them pretty good teammates.

there's a form of soft lock in one character voucher being locked behind an item that's easily gained online but hyper rare offline. I'm on proud and have yet a single dalia gold badge offline, and you need seven of them for the voucher. frankly a pretty ♥♥♥♥ way to force people playing online.

I've done everything on solo/AI, up to PBaha. You need to build your team however but if you plan on playing multiple characters, this is a non issue. You also need to know when to hold your SBA since AI would do it when they like which may end up making you lose a few DPS check within some end game quests.

You can do everything solo.

Up untill last difficulty you can get by with 1 main character invested and maybe another half invested. But after that you'll have to build 4 characters (the one your playing + 3 more for the AI). Its a grind, but its doable.

Nope, just saw yesterday guy complete all quests including Proud with AI only.
