Guild Wars 2

this way i can make a party with my alts and take them instead of bad players into my dungeon runs.

Yes, just take the entire community aspect out of the game for people who can’t be nice, join a guild, and/or make friends. It’s called GUILD Wars, not ANTI-SOCIAL Wars.

And how would you expect them to play, by your control or with AI?

I like the idea I have had enough bad interactions with players as far as dungeons are concerned to make this appealing maybe with reduced rewards so it would still encourage groups. @SmirkDog in every mmo I have played there are always solo players and you should go read about why the game is called Guild Wars. This suggestion comes from how things were in the original game.

I hate the idea and this won’t ever happen unless we have a hugeeeeeeeeee lack of players and to many areas to go. Guild Wars 1 did this and it was a big mistake as it killed the MMO/playing with others aspect of the game. The reason they probably even did it in the first place was the lack of players in comparison to the 4 large worlds you had people spread out on.

I like this idea. As someone who’s dealt with elitists and prima donnas in the past, I have all but given up on dungeons. Community is fine, but not when you are kicked out for having the “incorrect” build, or because you want to spend more than a microsecond longer than a speedrunner exploring a dungeon for fun.

Give those of us who refuse to play the game the bullying elitists deem fit an option too. After all, we all paid the same price for entry.

I support this, but its something that should be first done, if ANet has finally redesigned more of all the dungeons so that they become also soloable.

But as long there are mechanics in the duneons, which require two or more players to get further in the dungeons, this won’t be possible with dumb A.I Heroes that you have to command.
One reason why i hope, that ANet will one day improve dungeons by addign also Solo Dungeons to the game, which work more like Zelda Style Dungeons…

Heroes should be, like in GW2 just A.I Companions from your account, that you choose to take with you, if you can’t find players for your group or for example to raise the difficulty for your own personal story instances, which scale up, so more characters are in a group (raising also the rewards at the end with more exp, gold, karma ect. and higher qualitive reward items) together with finally the option to REPLAY your personal story as often as you want or at least once, to have the advantage to gain the new profits from that game improvement too.

Id so love to play as a group of my own characters (at least in personal story and other instances like dungeons)

@ Smirk: your comment is pathetic, we all play a game, where everyone is free to decide, how we want to play it.
If someone decides to want to do something in the game alone, then this is thats players free own choice.

Who the hell are you to judge over this by calling such people anti social?
Its anti social to make such a BS comment like you did in real.
You have absolutely no right to tell other people, how they should play this game.

If you want to play with other people so desperately, then I have a solution for you.. go into a god darn GUILD. Period!
Thats the sense behind this game… to make guilds to play that way together with other people. Playing with PUG’s isn’t something, from that you should be permanently dependent on.

Its basically only something you do in MMO’s, if you find within your guild not enough players to group with to do something together what at the moment all party members want to do together. PUGs are mainly something for Solo Players that are in no guilds and meet in games on content, that can’t be done alone.
Thats the point, where Solo Players are dependant on other random Solo Players to group up to make the content, that requires two or more players to successfully do the content.

However, this doesn’t mean that there still can’t exist even Solo Players that are so skilled, that they seek themself the challenge to Solo content, that was originally be designed as Group Content, like Soloing Dungeons (Ara Paths, for Lupicus ect. as examples)

Want you call these people, which seek out for challenges now also too anti social, only because they can do something, what you possibly can’t do and which don’t play with other people?

Really, this is patheric, real pathetic. If thats your real opinion about Solo Players Smirk, then you definetely need to grow up more.

This is a good idea but another solution is for Anet to make an easy difficulty for ppl that want to solo dungeons and they can also do the same for fractals.

solo mode dungeons sounds really interesting I like it a lot
you should make that a stand alone suggestion, maybe it will get someone eyes at a.net.

any/all instanced content should be solo-friendly. as for heroes, i would certainly welcome such an option.

You are taking the mm out of the mmo. Thus ruined some great things in gw1 and will only isolate you more.

Out of curiosity what server are you on? Or more to the point, EU or NA region?

@Orpheal: Pathetic or not I think Smirk has a point. While it’s debatable and near impossible to gauge how adversely adding heroes would affect players teaming up together initially I would prefer not to have heroes added. Sure as you say people can do whatever they feel, but better to have people teaming up for group content than bringing a bunch of AI IMO…

At the same time though, I’m not gonna try to play with elitist kittens whether there are heroes or not.

It’s called Guild Wars for a totally different reason.

Heroes = No bueño. If you played GW1 would have seen the impact that heroes had on the social impact of the game. Yeah, we had henchmen before heroes were introduced but they sucked. No one used them. When heroes were introduced you could only have 3 of yours in a party. That meant at least 2 people were playing with each other. Then they introduced full party heroes. You would walk into a town with 3 other people all with full parties of heroes. At first I welcomed and was excited for heroes in GW1, now I am very bitter about them and do not wish to see them in this game.

I like the idea… my whole guild has left the game bar 2 ppl

I like the idea! I don’t like the dungeons or fractals but maybe, one day, they’ll have an interesting place like FOW or DOA was from GW1. On that day I’ll want to go exploring and I don’t want to have to wait on, or wade through other players to do it.

I prefer doing things myself (roaming in WvW, etc.) but most instanced things can’t be done that way.
