Devs are killing soloing

[abezverkhiy]

Killsattva and Shadara still play solo. Guess it is the mindset, not just the set of tools. I also tried my engi that got a few buffs but I could not play it because WH is my main, my favourite class. I can't play the class I do not enjoy even if it is OP.

After the MDPS patch I finally felt WH was in the best shape - not an unkillable OP monster but you could do fairly well and be feared with a certain degree of skill and dedication. The only thing that I missed was stealth where I could regenerate energy so I could do long stealth runs in enemy keeps and behind enemy lines. But all in all I enjoyed my class. This did not last long.

With the new patch stealthing was made boring - I only go stealth when I see my prey. The element of intelligence is taken away. Now I feel like a scavenger tagging along ally WB and killing anyone they did not kill. When I am lucky to find a small party of same minded soloers we have fun. Scens are good with short stealth because they are compact. Otherwise I spend more time in Altdorf chatting with guildies and tidying my inventory and crafting.

Some will say "well, this is a MMORPG enough of your sociopathic shlt". Fair enough but playing WB vs WB is fun for a short period of time, it turns into stale tug-of-war quickly. Besides I am not a sociopath, I have ingame friends I enjoy playing with more than playing in a pool of random 20+ people half of them not even understanding what they are doing. Healers who do not rezz, tanks who do not guard. Come on...

In fact it is only watching guys like Killsattva, Shadara, Solater play that made me learn my class real well. Soloers test every class to its fullest, I would reward them for that with titles and cosmetics instead of nerfing.

As a last example, im gonna talk abt the recent WH/WE "kiss of doom" and "sanctified bullets" nerf.

I dont really get why you keep using heal in your build. Bullets dont crit, so they dont really fit for build that you using... Second, they still heal you for the same amount of hp as before (yes, dmg was nerfed, but heal is still the same) and you dont lose too much of your dmg really.

As about topic... Well, i dont think that main problem is in def build or nerf some abilities. For my opinion the main problem is community itself. We have more and more "salty" guys, who will never allow you to fight someone 1x1 if they can. Some players even get triggered when they see some soloer around. And this leading us to reaction of soloers to this. When you get stomped 9/10 times when you leaving wc, without even chance to fight, by some smalls or even full wb (which will haunt 1 guy through entire zone, just to get 150rr for everyone) - most people will re-think they way to play this game (or just drop it) and will begin to unite with other people, so they will become that smalls who killing other soloers themselves...

I dont know is there any solution for this, its seems like endless circle of rage, when one ratish people stomping others, forcing them to become ratish themselves or leave. Think if we can solve this problem in game - we can change whole human society after
