Why I play solo. I'm a busy guy, working 10 hours with children, which makes solo not just a possibility but a necessity to enjoy myself. When i'm in a guild I have this pressure to be constantly on my A game and if my attention is diverted just for a moment I feel like I'm letting my team down. This environment is not ideal for a working father. But, since I play allot of games on Hardcore (if its available) I'm used to staring over; and so I'm accustomed to it unlike many other players. Instead of listening to overly motivated gamers (love you guys) raging at me for not paying enough attention, I can just grind out crafting, trade, and gather as many resources as I can until my attention is diverted leading to my death, or when I get bored, which is inevitable in every game no matter how you play.

Can you pleease please make a video on how to play solo? like what types of things i can do solo? or like some task i can do for myself to have a clear direction on what to do when i get on. I am very new and I just want like some kind of guide on what i can do with say 5 hours of playtime a day.
@WolfszeitYTАй бұрын
very good point. with around 5 hours a day you can do alot. First get good at pvp otherwise this game will be a nightmare for you. Than learn the game before you play solo seriously. So many starting out like you and quitting soon. The most hardened solo players didnt started the game solo. Just an advice but whats really worth it. Search a good spot build a house ask the territory guild first. Get a contract or an agreement with that guild. than you have a baseline of ressources. The owning guild can see you as help or as threat depends on how you act. Than you have a base to build on and get better in PVP and kick ass. Maybe even being a mercenary fighter for that guild or not to earn the respect of these so save your position. And maybe you will someday can do the same stuff erisun does as describes in the video. Or you making the hardcore route like rhias do since 10 years gettign medium gear going into the hardest place where the pvp engame is and die 1 million times and than gettign better and kicking ass after years 1vs 3 and stuff without a problem. there are many ways. But for solo players 99% of solo quit after 3 months of getting constaly getting their assed ganked. you must be so good in pvp that you can atleast win a 2vs1 better a 3 vs1. otherwise good luck. when you go in the pvp only mode. you could also be a pve peacful farmer and gettign your as ganked 10 times a day. i dont know what you wanna do.

I play in a guild but I normally do things solo because of how I get to play, the hardest part of solo playing is the amount of time it takes to do stuff, when you roll out somewhere solo you normally have to forfeit whatever your plan is anyways as you'll often find groups doing the content you went to do anyways ~ sadly it is a lot about having low expectations of what you can do

There is a guild for solos - SoloWay, it exists 1,5 years, they are pve, they have prohibition to attack other players / guilds to be out of game wars / politics and to have opportunity to play solo on the map. 70-90% of their time they play solo + sometimes group activities. Their guild tag is safe enough because they are friendly to players. Only RPK guilds / alliances like Rat alliance can attack them “just for fun”. Yeah, it is not easy to play solo because of the such people but it is viable, it is possible to have network of houses on the map, to help each other with gear, scribing, pets, farming, house / TC assets sharing, to share experience etc.

@@WolfszeitYT why not solos anymore? They can’t attack first / RPK / help other guilds in Pvp / participate in guild / server wars because of rules but they can use guild tag for solo activities, no taxes / special obligations etc. These solos killed trolls a lot (solo), farmed dungeons and capes from bosses, mined stacks of oghmium and cronite, someone lived in GK long time ;) Yeah, the most of them are casual peaceful players with family / real life work, they can’t play a lot. They don’t like to be ganked / RPKed not because of their loot but because it takes a lot of time for them (days or even weeks - with pets / mats) to take it back.
@simonsn49963 ай бұрын
There are some guilds that will let Solos live out of their villages, even in the most contested areas :) You just need to find them. And you probably should not have attacked those rather peaceful guilds before. Also being nice to people as a Solo goes a long way. When I see ppl stranded, ill give them a ride and if their weapon is below what id consider "okay quality", they'll likely get a nice steel sword. People do remember stuff like that. Also getting rare materials/ good weapons to friendly guild-banks will make you an asset for them without being a member. BTW Wolfszeit if you want to know A GREAT moneyfarm without PvP, tell me :) (its about 250-300g an hour, no waiting for respawns) also foraging alone in that area can get you about 1.5k glory an hour, now add hunting tasks and the noobs will get to the mastery system a lot faster. (edit for grammar)

I mainly play solo during the week and in group with my guild in the weekend. So mainly, I farm my clade, ressources and craft on the week day and do donjon or any group activities in the weekend and it work well with my lifestyle and with my guild. Sometimes, i do donjon solo and meet some allied or random people and stick with them and I always have a nice time. Beeing a women it is surely much more easy for me to meet people and to not be kill each time ;)

You can actually solo with a single character. At least when you play some kind of mage/bm build. Get butchery, light armor crafting and pet equipment crafting and you basically got everything you need.

@Rhias153 ай бұрын
@@WolfszeitYT I think it depends on the build. Self sufficient builds which require metal are much harder if you want to fit in all the extraction and refining in. If you're fine with buying metal or you don't require metal e.g. as mage or mounted archer you should be fine. The worst possible build I can think of is a combination of Mounted Archer & Mounted Combat. To be truly self sufficient you would need: Armor Crafting Weapon Crafting Pet Armor Crafting Bowyer Butchery Metal Extraction I don't think you can squeece that in 2 characters...

Solo play is definitely possible. You will be a vagabond, and you will have to be sneaky. It's easiest if you make one character an armor crafter and the other weapon Smith. If you do this, you can always get stocked back up after a major ganking. Peace all and have an awesome time in mortal no matter how you play! Best

Solo play is atrocious in this game. The pve and AI even tho Henrik says “it’s the best AI out of any mmo” are straight out of 2009. A lot of the major dungeons are locked down by rmt guilds. And the POIs have as much thought put into them as purchasing them from the asset store and plunking them down. Most of the time the games fun because you have people in discord chat to shoot the shit with. There is a reason why the concurrent is about to hit sub 800. And it’s not because it’s good. Just checked it’s below 800.

I've been playing since launch, and I've been solo ever since. Why? Because I'm a working father with very limited time. My attention is constantly being diverted from the game and I get ganked allot while afk. Infact my main enemy isnt other players but the random wolf I didnt see. When I do die I just shrug it off and continue the grind. When you're used to playing Hardcore on any game (if available) you stop caring and start enjoying the progress you have made no matter how long it takes, and start enjoying the grind because it gives you something to do while listening to a podcast or while watching your kids. Infact, I've played this game the longest than most MMOs in recent history because it's taking me much longer to reach the level of other players.
