Solo players cannot advance in the new content, and any decent publisher would disclose such a fundamental change prior to taking your money.

I agree. No doubt this post will be followed by the obligatory ’you’re just inept along with the ‘i solo’d it easily’ posts but you are correct.The day i started the new content it was like running into a brick wall and i am looking for new games to play.

You may agree but the claim is objectively false. Someone agreeing that the earth is flat doesn’t make it so.

You can say that as many times as you want but it won’t change the fact that in every game i’ve played up till now, when an expansion was released ,the new area was flooded with players and remained that way but in this game the maps i’ve been in are very scarcely populated and when i go back to the non-expansion area it is heavily populated with gliding level 80 players doing quests.
Obviously there are issues.

First of all there are plenty of full and not so full maps, due to the mega server and time you do it. if you don’t take the time to go to a fuller map with the LFG tool how can you know how many people are actually playing.

And yeah, the original game is actually free to play now. I’d be stunned it if it doesn’t have more players, since HoT players and free players can access core zones, but only those who bought HoT can access HoT zones. And let’s not forget HOT content often sends people back to older zones to fill in collections.

On top of that is the simple logic that you probably haven’t spent huge amount of time in HoT, so I don’t see how you can make any claims as to how busy the maps are.

I guess you’ll see in the long run how this goes. If it’s as you say and there are thousands of people playing happily in full maps just out of my sight then no problem.
It’ll mean there are just a few discontented people who ,as you say, like to play by pushing ‘1’ over and over to play and all these nerf threads mean nothing.
Have fun.

Last night i went back to HoT after the update and it was no easier than before. I went to an area to try to advance my storyline and there were a bunch of mobs there. I fought just one of them and the humanoid mob had ranged avoid,could transport itself behind me,had aoe and i died within 15 seconds.
That was just with one of the 4 mobs there.It wasn’t even an elite mob.
Someone showed up to try to revive me and he was dead 20 seconds later.
When you buy an expansion to a game (i have played many others} it shouldn’t be radically harder than the rest of the game.
If i wanted to play Wildstar and get killed every 10 minutes trying to jump on mushrooms i would have stayed playing it .
I feel betrayed buying the expansion.
Sure i admit i am not a leet player but i shouldn’t have to be to enjoy it.

It’s a good expansion if you like dying a lot. Otherwise save your money.

HoT is not fun so unless they nerf it and announce that they will make the new one the same there’s no chance.
I wonder if they’re stubborn enough to stick their fingers in their ears and have 2 empty expansion maps instead of one. .

If it wasn’t such a difficult area i would actually play there. I went in,died 50 times until i finally got my gliding and haven’t been back since.
I hope the hardcore players enjoy their area and if there is another expansion i won’t be buying it.

I’m not quitting the game because i still have lots of classes to try out and have only played 6 months but i’m done with the new maguuma jungle area because i can’t solo at all and there are hardly any people around to make groups like there are in the older game areas.
I die pretty much every 10 minutes because every mob seems to be a champion,veteran along with a bunch of lower mobs.
They roll over you and toss you around like a rag doll .
I can’t do hero points alone either.
The new area is almost empty and the old area is still packed .
It reminds me of wild star .Hardcore gamers love it but most people want to have fun so it was dying. .

Maybe seeing an almost empty zone in the game will make them want to fix this. It’s hard to do group quests with 3 people.

Please start refunding money for this expansion if you don’t intend to fix computer freezing issues in new area.

Same here.Game locks up computer when i hit points of interest,get game rewards etc. Can’t play in maguuma.
