hi im a solo easy going player. loved ryzom but after this patch i am not sure.
firstly i like to solo. i know you can team and its cool to do so but i wanted to solo to level and just get teams for big missions events etc.
now i cannot solo the same.
monsters are hitting me alot harder, i have to fight lower xp monsters to stay alive. this game is now very much team or die now wich is a shame.
of corse team mmorpg is cool but in this game you didnt gain anything by going into a large team now you need one.
ok fine but its so god dam hard to find a team. i get to play this game for 2 hours a day . it takes me about 1 hour to find a team if i look hard sometimes i cannot.
sorry but i feel unhappy about playing a game where i am going to be sitting at the pc bored walking around town talking in region chat asking if anyone wants to be in my team.
not a hate or im leaving because i payed for 6 months . just saying that im out of the game now for a wile untill server pops reach over 100 in each races homeland (which as it stands it dosnt) or that they make the game more solo fun.
please somebody keep me updated with server pops and how to solo without being left way way behind.

I'm in very much the same situation. This post concerns me a lot, becuase I've been posting about this same concern the past few days. Even pre-patch, the solo game was pretty limited and monotonous. It wasn't safe to go out of sight of the major city as a lower level char. The creatures I could solo were not numerous, but there was at least a little variety. If as a level 32 fighter I can now only solo suckling yubos, and have to stay right next to the city gates, the game is even worse for me. With no interesting low-level quests, and only a few generic ones fit for lower level chars, what is there to keep me interested? I sometimes play for only 30-45 minutes, and that simply isn't enough time to group, usually.

I'd suggest trying to find a guild to join. If that doesnt work, possibly look for other players in your area that want to group up. Create a kind of "set" group. You all logon around the same time, group up, and kill stuff. Beyond that there's really nothing else left to do. One of the pros to the game was being able to go out solo and kill things. With this not being true anymore, there's less reason for casual players to keep playing.

soloing was impossible before patch when you were above level 100
now soloing is impossible above level 20 ...
no real big deal, now ppl will all have to team up, so teams will be much easier to form as before.

Teaming has always been the key to travelling and exploring and xp.

It is a big deal for those of us who like to solo, or who can only play for relatively short periods of time. In fact it's such a big deal that IF what you say is true (and I haven't tried the patched version yet), I won't continue to play. Too bad as I've already paid for 6 months.......yet as a level 32 fighter if I cannot grow my character and cannot safely venture out the gates of town, why play?

I haven't patched it yet so I don't know how it is. BUT if I can't solo at all anymore, I'm also out. It's fine for people to say that you should group and blah blah blah BUT I pay for this game like anyone else, I should be able to play it how I want.

At lvl 40 melee on ATS with patch 1 I could still solo fine. It just took me a couple deaths to figure out what I could handle. The color coding and stars do make that easier. Also in Tryker land there did seem to be more yber, yubo, messab mobs that were managable to fight and gave decent XP. More scampering and sprightly herbivores to play with.
