the question and the options are pretty straight forward do you think the solo element of lvling needs adjustment yes or no.

no. This game is different then most I have played in the fact that solo play is a bit harder. Though it can be harder at times I think this gives the game more character (?) or whatever. I like it how it is and think they did a fine job. Only thing that I truly think needs to be worked on is the melee a tad and ranged, though they know of that so there is no point saying it again ;P

Not that I have anything against people whose game style is to solo play a mmorpg, and I even do so to some extent when I don't feel like teaming or there is no one around to team..........but this is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game; with the emphasis being on Multiplayer. I know we all pay a subscription fee so we can play the game however we see fit in accordance with the CoC, but if one really wants the solo gaming experience, I would advice them to not look for it in a game designed as a mmorpg and to look for an rpg like Morrowind, KOTR, ect...

One can solo, but you do have to be careful. I don't feel like there need to be any tweeks to the game to make it easier or more conductive to soloing. I think that if they implemented some things, say like maybe increasing the dmg that a fighter does, giving the fighter some more efficient attacks or adding some more content like different mounts and mounted combat, that it would improve the overall game play and therefore make the game that much better whether one plays solo or in groups.

i think alot of people are miss reading this question.... its not about soling elemental its about the solo "ELEMENT!" which means all soloing in general -.-

you answerd no? and then decided to put a few suggestions for changes to melee in your post? so is that a no but really a yes? lol

can we have a show of hands of the people who said "no" thinking this poll was about soloing elemental please?

he answered that the game doesn't need to be changed. Perhaps some new elements COULD be added, but they would be implemented in much the same way as they are now. Whats the point to playing an online game if you simply want to solo? Game like Morrowind (for those who remember it) provide the same type of gameplay as SoR, but without the fees and with all the solo gameplay one could want.

I also voted No for many different reasons. Many of them were already stated by Dekkert, but I also believe that the storyline makes sense with the difficulty of soloing. The kitin almost whiped everyone. They are obviously a formidable opponent. It is therefore necessary to team up and stand together to fight them. If they were easy to just kill as a single person, then why were we so easily killed before?

i dont WANT to solo im FORCED to because ot the lack of subscribers this game manages to pull in... this is why i think solo needs changing as i spent 4 hours yesterday getting half a lvl in melee if i wanted a grindfest id go play one where i can grind for 18 hours a day without having to sit and regen

and if you have views on stuff that COULD be changed then you are agreeing that the solo element needs to be adressed =/

Not at all. You COULD add Mounted Combat to the game. However, if it did the same dmg as regular melee with the same attack rates (just a different skill tree), then it does nothing to change the solo aspect of the game.

adding mounted combat is off topic tho so it wouldnt really be a suggestiong for a change to solo lvling if it was the same just on the back of a mektoub would it?
