IsilithTehroth 23 Posted February 2, 2019 Solo players should stop complaining about playing a mmorpg. If you want a solo pirate game there are multiple out there. FFS your ilk already ruined the mmorpg genre and caused it to die, now you come for the faux mmos. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Give no quarter for those that don't want to interact with others in a mmorpg. I will repeat. Solo players do want to interact with others, they simply want to achieve their objectives on their own. If solo players did not want to interact in any way then they would play single player offline. It is not that I don't agree with you. Your statement that solo players should just go somewhere else and blaming the design changes in other games on solo players is trollish and you are right I don't agree with that. As for complaints, we have that right, because solo play is a big part of every MMO. we all start out alone. Edited February 2, 2019 by Skyroguen 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Polar Express 74 Posted February 2, 2019 Ignore the trolls complaining about smaller groups and solos. This game has a lot of solos and that’s totally okay. Some of the trolls don’t even own or play this game. And to be “realistic” you really should play a game before your opinion matters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rand McNally 6 Posted February 2, 2019 14 hours ago, Hambo said: The basic issue for the solo player, even on PvE is the artificial level cap placed on players... You cannot even get XP at a Freeport once you hit Level 8 and there is no place to go so you can level further. Even if they created a higher level "Freeport" area with higher level ships you can gather materials to buy but also has higher level animals to deal with where NOBODY can place a claim then everyone would have an equal fooring to continue to level up. One can have a ramshackle sloop and be on the water in 8 minutes. Spending time inside the freeport is wasted time for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FFS your ilk already ruined the mmorpg genre and caused it to die, now you come for the faux mmos. Actually it was WoW that ruined the mmorpg market, hell one of thier devs even commented on that very thing. This solo vs group thing has been going on a very long time and devs have learned they need to cater to both sides or they lose revenue. Interaction with other players in these does not equal forced grouping, nor does it mean that all content will be available to solo (the folk that just want to play the game but don't care about the raid content). Personally I play both ways pending on how i feel I want to play. Generally I like playing in a small tight company here but am not ad versed to joining others to do harder content, sailing around and meeting ppl ect. Trying to force devs into forced grouping because you believe its the only way mmo's should be played would be silly on thier part and they know it. mmo= massive multi player not forced grouping. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who knows maybe you were sent by some large company to prepare an invasion? You can't trust absolutely anyone in atlas and that's what most of it's problems are coming from really. I remember talking to some guy asking if we (just two of us on a basic schooner with no cannons or anything) could pick discoveries on their server. They had all kinds of defences and lots of ships and the man asked us to leave because "guys are getting nervous because of your ship". At least they didn't try to sink us on sight like most people do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
