That was the most patronizing post i've ever read.

First you say team players are effectively helpless kittens, unable to go alone, and then say you solo because you don't want to carry said helpless kittens?

Wow, ok, you go and play with yourself every game while most of us enjoy the teamwork thats an essential part of the Mass Effect gameplay.


Never did I say helpless or carry anyone. Dont take what I said out of context. Can you find my sarcasm in my post?


i never seen him put down a player with his description of teamplay mentality.

i think caineghis2500 psycological view on team players does hold some merit tho.
 
some people are incapable of solo'ing and the thought of even doing a solo is indeed scary for them, i play gold and platinum with someone like this all the time.
are they a bad person/player? no

but i see what the OP is talking about and i didnt see one insult in the original post at all, just his observation.

The best response i can think of is quoting Christopher Hitchens: "That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence."




You've just gained yourself a forum stalker for quoting "the Hitch", sir. Posted Image

You basically said, in pretty quick succession, the following:

1. Soloers are the true master race! (thread title)
2. Team players are sociable people that enjoy playing with others.
3. Solo players don't thrive in social environments, and prefer challenges to people.
4. But soloists aren't antisocial or anything.
5. Even though soloers are the TRUE master race, they're not better or anything.

Just seemed really, really silly to me.

Not even going to bother reading; co-op means cooperative, cooperative means a team effort.

In case you guys missed it canongizz has done 10 platinum solos and 25 gold solos. How many have you guys done ?.... Im guessing not as much.

While you losers were playing with your friends canon here was playing with the AI for hours upon hours.

Well, there's no way of saying if you're obtuse or acute without a proof.

Also the conclusions you've drawn from whether you prefer soloing or playing with teams, reminds me of horoscopes.

But you forgot to mention that Soloists may soon find themselves experiencing a great windfall, and that team players should beware of snakes in long grass.


Soloists do have a sorta edge, if they can also co-op just equally, they can alone do stuff without a hand, but if they are anti team, they might as well just stick to their soloing and keep out....

THis game IDK why the heck it even has "solo" challenges...but thats me I find the fact a mark for Solo plat. alone was kinda....wtf

 

I was mainly talking about the rather hilariously un-related things that were drawn simply from whether you prefer one play style or another. For example I could say that people who play Infiltrators tend to be shy people and that's why they like hiding, while people who play Vanguards are likely to get into bar fights because they're always getting in people's faces. :lol::lol::lol: It's ridiculous, gave me a good laugh, but I hope it was not meant to be taken seriously. 

As for soloists "having an edge"... soloing and playing with a team are two completely different games. In solos it's about kiting enemies around the map and being patient, in team games (at least most of mine) it's a rush to the spawns to find the groups of enemies and murder them as fast as you can. You can't really compare the two, but in my group of friends, the vast majority who can play decently in a team game could solo Gold or Platinum without too much trouble.


Your translation of soloing is offensive. Its more than kiting and patience. Too much to explain:huh:


A cada cual lo suyo, por lo tanto, no hay ninguna razón para explicar.


Where are you from? How many languages you speak?:huh:


I grew up in New York City and I speak more languages than the typical American, put it that way.

I am going to add my final 2 cents here.

The idea that personalities and lifestyle can be gleened from whether someone likes to solo or not is laughable.

Let's take RedJohn for example. He loves soloing, does it all the time and has been doing it since the early days of the game. Based on your idea, he must be a loner in real life, etc. However, based on his demographic (Dominican, Hispanic, likely Catholic), he probably has intimate familial ties and spends a great deal of time with his family as well as with friends.

I, on the other hand, hate soloing, have virtually no familial ties and spend the vast majority of my time alone. I am a true lone wolf, more so than virtually anyone on this board and yet, I hate soloing.

With all due respect Lord of Miami, your theory does't hold water.

No anymore, according to his manifest :P Since challenge system he completed solo mastery only three times.
