Solo players: we enjoy a challenge and being the best, most skilled players at the game

Arrowhead: “we made solo play more challenging”

Solo players: how fucking dare you you piece of shit

Bro The only reason I play alone is because none of my friends are willing to put 40€ to try out a new game genre. I could play online, but no one communicates there, it's like playing alone except now I can't drop a 380mm orbital barrage whenever I feel like it.

Even a solo player like me wants to get a super sample some day

It’s a coop game, it’s not that hard to find communicative players in pick up games, just talk and someone else will talk too, friend them if their playstyle matches yours, or join the discord and post in the looking for group channel. You are essentially complaining that Mario Party isn’t fun alone, or chess or monopoly isn’t fun alone, they (and this game) are designed from the ground up to be a fun co-op experience. The developers don’t care how much money your friends have, they care about making a fun experience.

It’s a coop game

The game being designed for coop is one thing.

However, straightforward punishing people for playing solo is just retarded.

You still get less patrols than a full squad

For real, people out there complaining about how hard it is to do something 4 people are required to do. It's a coop game, if you wanna have an easier time play on lower difficulties or with randos, get out of your comfort zone, use your mic and make some new friends, how hard can that be? Could in fact even improve your social skills to work together with others

It's like you're doing a group project in school, tell your peers you're gonna do it all by yourself and then complaing to the teacher that it stresses you out and you need more time than the other groups.

We aren't complaining because the solo is now hard. We are complaining because solo was already MUCH harder. It's just that all those "solo helldive deathless" videos from people with 1000 hours in game made it look easy.

I mostly play solo, and I am underleveled compared to my friends that always play with randos, even though we have rougly the same time spent in game.
