I solo cause i get bored playing with the same friends, using the same tactics, the same map blah blah. Pugs can get annoying, i get kicked more times than i like cause of amount of "that guy gonna take our kills blarg blarg blarg." Caineghis prefers solos, so i would hate to bother him, and invaderone has no more room for friends lol ( although playing with you guys was a great deal of fun).

So i solo. Working hard on more plats. Not enough cyclonic mods.


Plus i like soloing bronze lol so my 2 year old can "play" (he sucks at the game btw, can set up sh it for explosions.) he really just yells out "killing monsters!"

THIS ONLY MY POINT OF VIEW. NOTHING IS WRITTEN IN STONE.

Lets start with those who favor team games.

Think of it like a group of kittens snuggling together feeling the warmth of each other. They cant see themeselves doing anything without the comfort and the security that the group brings. Stepping out can be very fearful. people like that see fun as laughing and joking around with others. Im i against that? Not at all. There confidence level is predicated on how strong and cohesive the team is and not on personal skill. They are mostly outgoing and funny people with a magnetic personality that everybody loves. They love bonding with each other. Im I against that? No I dont mind a good laugh at times. Soloing makes no sense to them because it doesnt relate with they're personality therefor see it as a waste of time and pointless. They are too dependant on team cohesion to win and even to feel better about themeselves as individuals. Im I speaking for every team player? Ofcourse not.

Now for the soloers

Soloers including myself are often times misunderstood and even shunned by some team based people. We have as people would say "f**ked up sense of humor". I  We like to venture out and test our abilities to the max. We find soloing fun because well for me Im a soloist at heart. Did mostly everything in life on my own without much support. I personally find team based boring because it's un challenging as other soloers can agree.
I could even go personal and say that soloers  have experienced many rejections in life by people and gained strenght from that and learned  to do 4 oneself. Im I speaking for every soloer? No but some can agree with me. I find team games a burden even if im playing with good players. Thats why I solo.

I hope what I wrote made sense to you.

We can appear to be at times antisocial but thats not the case.

I see that many team based people are venturing out to solo.

IT CANNOT BE DISPUTED. SOLOING IS THE BEST SHARPENER. THERE IS STRENGHT IN NUMBERS BUT GREAT POWER BELONGS TO THE SOLOERS. MANY TEAM BASED PEOPLE SEE THAT AND DESIRE A PIECE OF THAT POWER.........-_-

Not sure if serious, and if you're not, congrads on one of the most ingenious troll posts i've seen in a while. Top 20, surely. If you are serious, however... dearie, dearie me. There is "desperately craving validation", and then there is this.

Also, are you the one whom I have to thank for the infestation of acolyte geth troopers that currently plagues gold lobbies? Well done.

IMHO....the master race as you like to call it is the players that venture into bronze and find a group of new players, take them to a gold round and get extraction......makes a solo a cake walk

Soloing only means something if you can do it quickly. And even then, only for that specific map, enemy and character combination.

Not that I care all that much. Play whatever the f*** you want.

Soloing has greatly enhanced my team game because I can easily carry a weak team if the situation demands it.


Playing tons of bad random pugs greatly enhanced my ability to carry a weak team if the situation demands it.

True story.

I like your logic.

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

What you describe as a master race of solo runners is merely a segment of the player base whom lack the appropriate social skills and the ability to handle the human factor of a game. Programs run scripted courses and running solo you will know exactly how it behaves. Adding a human team behaving unpredictably adds an X-factor which will destabilize that, making the course of the game less predictable and ultimately harder.

I speak of cause not of those who run with 3 friends, taking on Glacier/Cerb/Plat in 15min, but instead of those who venture into PUG-territory, joining a random game of deaf-mute muppets being hosted from a jungle somewhere on Borneo.

That
is the true master race.

Huh? I don't mind solos, speedruns or the people who posts threads about them. If anything, I'm more annoyed at people insiting that you have to play with 3 other people "because it's a co-op game".

It's not his youth that causes his brashness, it's the fact that he's a bogan. :wizard:

I think the most useful thing that came out from your link was that guy in the comments who told me how to change my youtube layout back to the old one. ty Ziegrif (Still can't spell your name from memory.)

I find it is harder to PUG gold than to solo. Most PUGs are clueless and only doing their own stuff and kites enemies everywhere. Where I could easily manage if I solo, cept on unlucky objectives.

Platinum on the other hand, is just a test of patience.

The Protheans HAVE to Solo against the Reapers in cycle, that didn't go well.
Luckily for humanity, we actually had a team to defeat the Reapers.

Put this way, the game was co-op because of of multi coalition was forge to fight the Reapers.
Otherwise is could be a humanity " **** yeah", all incompetent "aliens" get paralyzed. Humans save the day.

That's why soling is faltering. They have lost the battle, retreating with only 1 man left. More like defeat and licking wounds.Waiting for the next assignment with another team

A full team extraction adhere the feelings of actual accomplishment, you got the job done, everyone is safe,.

This make ME so amazing, they actually incorporated MP with Main story lines

 equating personality with player predilection is tenuous at best. I like soloing for the extra challenge but it's slower and you have to be patient which isn't so much me. The game was designed to be co-op and works better that way, mechanically.

Solo for the challenge, sure, but this is a co-op so learn to work as a team. Also, solo for 90 minutes vs. a good team under 20 minutes on platinum? I'll take the latter.


Exactly this.

Lets add something else solo means solo all the time which means lots of Jergans, tissue paper, and tears. Since they can not handle group dynamics. Have fun working on that hand strength.
