My reasons NOT to play Return of Reckoning in 2025 as a NEW/SOLO player!

So in its entirety, I think I'm going to ask a Dev or Forum moderator to just close this discussion...

Because censorship is always productive to a healthy community.

Understanding when a crescendo has been reached is a observation, not like you call it 'censorship'. I'm truly amazed at the dumbfounded remarks of some people, where they just keep focusing on supposed negatives or try to impose their beliefs and truths, where the facts are simple and overwhelming.

God bless.

Threads have a way of dying out when the membership at large decides they are no longer interesting. This is as natural and inevitable as the sun rising in the east. No need to invoke the wrath of the forum gods.

I think I'm going to uninstall today. Reached level 40 but the scenario grind is just impossible as a WE. Facing premades 24/7 is just a nightmare.

It's tough during the weekends, when the premades come out to play. You'll have better luck playing scenarios during the week. You might even get a discordant scenario or two.

I would follow around another we to secure a kill or two even when you're getting stomped. That and assist your main assist obviously. If it's utterly hopeless on any given evening I just try to get a quick sentinel run in. Good luck.

So my WE just hit 80 on the solo grind and I can tell you it gets better, just so much better. In those premade SCs move behind them and see if you can pick off stragglers and make sure you have swift assist and know how to use it and assist other dps to get your kills. I found leveling the WE that I was more effective using witchbrew and the heal de-buff as it let me contribute even if my dps was not up to snuff. Also I switched to full glass cannon build, no parry, no futile strikes and all the crit and strength, I just embraced the YOLO life and its just more fun for me so try switching up your build, maybe full regen is your style or glass? need to try them all.

Once you get Vanq+ gear you are a threat and can really hurt others even if you are not solo'n healers left and right. Like Fey said grouping up with other WEs is stupid fun so definitely try that.

Long time solo player here. Leveled and played all my characters solo most of them around rr50-60 and my main is a slayer rr83. I played original War aswell and thats probably one of the reasons why i kept playing.

If there is one thing i could recommend to anyone who is playing solo. Get friends and a regular group of players that you usually play with and can learn from or dont play this game. 9 out of 10 times you will just encounter the BLOB, 6 man or 12 man or a group of WE/WH and you die. And even that one time where you encounter someone solo they will probably be some rr80+ veteran. This game got to the point where 90% of the playerbase has 5+ characters all of then rr60+ which means even if you encounter an other low level player they will probably already know your class more than you do and they will just destroy you.

Obviously in scs you are not really solo but if you get a lucky you might win a few games in a row. Its all about which team has more premade members. Unfortunately if you are facing a fully premade team that are just spamming scs you wont even get a kill and you can forget about the win as they will be spamming that sc and farming solos and smaller premades for hours sometimes.

So yeah soloplayer experience is becoming worse and worse in my opinion and thats why i would not recommend it anymore for new players.

Solo play is in ruins because class imbalance is way worse than before. Constantly facing AMs and WLs is literally the death of fun. Same thing on the other side with Shamans and Squigs. Let's hope the DPS rework happens fast to bring back some appeal to a game that's seriously starving for it.

I hear you,

Sadly .. the blobs have beaten me am I'm deleting my toons to find another game.

Wish you all the best in your endeavours!

I wish you the best, thank you for playing.
