Great Patch!

[Bartel]

The solo vs party argument is as old as me, man. And I'm in my mid-20's.

The patch came out a few hours ago. Get creative. If you're honestly too impatient to try a few things out and, as I had already said, feel out the changes for a couple weeks, then I have to say you're being immature.

Either actually try or go play a game more compatible with your needs.

Have you even bothered to attempt low level soloing? If you have, you'll realize that what you are saying is asinine. It doesn't take a couple weeks to realize that battles take SIGNIFICANTLY longer now, mobs hit harder, and our characters have considerably less health. My level 8 lnc has 180 hp. 4 hits and I'm dead. There is no "get creative" for that. It's either a very poor oversight by SE, or a system that is so grindy and stupid that most of the low level players of this game will quit within a few weeks.

Then patch 1.20 and you can add point also your gear matter more so people should be getting gear at there level. The higher you go the more the gear matter.

I'm glad you asked before assuming! Actually, I just started a new character and yes, I am starting from low levels. You know what truly IS a grind? Soloing/Duoing sphene dobs from 48-50 pre-easymode. They simply adjusted it again. Also, did you fail to read the patchnotes? There's an entire new SECTION of GC leves for soloing exclusively. But because the patch JUST came out, no one is weighing that into the argument because, shockingly, they haven't tried yet. Oh my!

I remain steadfast. Give it a couple weeks before going crazy. If, after everything is tried, we all realize that soloing is gimped horribly, SE will make the necessary tweaks for you casual players out there who like to hoof it alone on an MMO instead of playing the soon-to-be-released Skyrim. My two cents.
