Don't you ever Wish they made good Soloing exp mobs?Follow

theres always gonna be classes (warriors for example) that arent gonna be able to solo effectively, and unless they change things drastically its gonna stay that way. kinda sucks for the warriors, glad i play a druid.

No, because solo kills take away from the game being multiplayer.

The problem is that it's all relative. There are classess that are just better at soloing then others. The problem is that if you try to adjust things so that all classes can solo easily, you make it *waaaaay* too easy for those classes really good at soloing to do so.

I don't really think this is something that is "broken" about EQ. You just have to make a decision about what you want to do, and pick a class that fits your play style. Even better, since you have 8 character slots per server, you can make several different characters of different classes, so you can do different things at different times. No one on in guild that you can group with? LFG not working? Load up your druid/mage/necro and have fun for a while on that character instead.

There's plenty of options in the game. Personally, I think it would be really boring if all classes were equally good at everything. There'd be no point to trying out different classes then. And that would suck. :(

I really could care less about soloing. The only times I really want to solo are during the time I look for groups or I only have like a few 30 mins to play(In which I ussually do something non exp related). I dont mind if they have something like EQ2 in which there are instanced soloing places near group areas.

There will always be people more adept at soloing just because of the abilities and means available to them. Even if melees gained "combat abilities" to somewhat counter spells they would be activated at close range and would only increase dps/decrease damage slighty as to still make groups not too overpowered.

As for his sig, he could just switched from SWG, I know i didnt switch mine for alittle after coming back from FFXI

I've never had trouble finding good experience as a soloist up to the level 55 mark. What is boils down to it just the class you're playing, and its capabilities as far as pulling and killing go.

I could not agree more - whats annoying really is that you get less XP for killing 1 mob solo than for killing 6 of the same mobs in a 6-player group.

Even having no one to share the loot with you make less XP and less plat per hour soloing than in a group. Sadly enough most groups wet their pants if I propose going after yellow or red mobs and insist on hunting the same mobs they COULD solo themselfes (sounds like "sex? to much risk&work, lets just get ourselfes of quickly but often instead" to me sometimes).

If you are able to solo or not, soloing in EQ just doesn't pay off - thats the problem.

I'm pretty sure that OoW wont really have good solo abilities for all levels.



Thats really the only thing that seems to affect anything but high level characters(besides tradeskills/graphics/tribute).

So unless there is a really good boost in exp from these tasks it will still be the same ol' soloing we always do.

Instanced dungeons that you can only enter if ungrouped.

However I think it would be a terrible idea to implement, it's hard enough doing high end raid stuff with people who flew through their levels as it is, doing it with someone who soloed to 65 would suck badly. I cringe everytime we are starting an otherwise easy raid and read on raid channel "How do I set up an assist macro?".

That's not necessarily someone who soloed all the way to 65, that's more likely an ebayed account. I've seen it first hand. Had a member of my guild decide to quit and ebay his account and when they new guy started it up, he had no idea how to get the monk that was FD'd in PoK up. Was doing all sorts of "/ooc"s asking how to get standing up. It's a running joke now in my guild.
