The Novus Grind

Ppl need to feel the advanture, or something that can kill them in open world, here it is.
And now ........

Yet there's no adventure or sense of duty in these fate farms.

Yet the novus upgrade path has nothing to do with fates...

Whilst the alexandrite maps are indicated as being soloable that does NOT mean they will be EASY to solo. They all CAN be soloed and none of them have unavoidable mechanics but you would be well advised to take at least one other player with you to ensure you don't waste the map. There is nothing wrong with the way these maps work, the people having problems with them have just gotten too used to solo content being easy content.

They aren't "used" to it. It's been that way up until novus that you do the solo portion by yourself.

They should've specified with those 3 maps that 2 players is required or that there's a high ilvl requirement. They did mention you need high ilvl for some of em.

It should be recommended, not required. So people, who can do them solo, still can do them solo.

This is how I feel about the Novus grind in a nutshell. I feel comfortable soloing them but I know that isn't for everyone. There's also Monster Hunts coming in 2.3 so maybe that'll give people an alternative if they don't like maps.

Well, they definitely don't require 2 people but some would find it easier that way, which I respect. I do agree with ya on letting people know that they may need better gear to solo them. Perhaps putting a "*__ilvl preferred*" tag on the maps themselves would help, or something like that, just to spare people the confusion.
