I am posting this in bugs since at least one event I did today is impossible, and worse than in the beta…
- Essence Cave: This was one of the soloable events in the Beta, now it suddenly seems impossible. Was there right on start, ran in almost straight lines, not running into mobs, not missing any shard, using the mount all the time. That is ALL a solo player can do!! After 5mins the bar was not even half-full, so it is a definite fail with nothing to change about that; we ended up with 3 people at last and closely did not make it.
- Knights Fort: I don’t even expect to solo it with no roomscale, but all the groups I was with (2-5 people) failed it as well, in the last beta and now, still. It was pointed out many times but nothing changed in the health of the catapults. Mobs get into angles where their shield can’t even be broken.
- Fishing (Rainforest): Was also mentioned already, pretty arm-taxing, not impossible, but just awful to solo. Kept hitting the dreaded musky bubble with fish as well, like an invisible wall and if I run into any mob then that is mostly it. Why do we have to throw that many into the boat in the first place?
Events are boring enough to solo, now it seems like we are forced to spend the full 8mins there, trying, and then not even makin it or wait for a group… I bet the wasteland/hulthins are also unchanged, so currently running between the few soloable HS and Rainforest is it.
