Solo farming options..... major issue kindly adress the issue

i am currently level 12 and having major issue regarding farming exp.

either the exp to low.... or the mobs are to hard to kill solo..

this game will not make it if there is no solo farming options

i have no problem with grinding... but forcing people to group up in order to be effective in gaining exp is a major issue

it will not only punish the people who are behind the leveling curve when launched but also punish the solo players who enjoy farming in peace.

i hope this will be adressed soon....i see this as a major issue for the game.

adress solo options for this game pls.... do not force group exp farming in this game or it wil be doomed

I usually play alone but got invited to group because I was near an event and had a good time.

I'm not a people person but I enjoyed it.

There are so many single player games out there.

Can we have one group base multiplayer game?
Please.

I have leveled nearly entirely solo to level 10. The Grind is Real - but it wasn't 'difficult'. (I'm sure things get even slower after level 10 - but so far I'm making faster progress on 11 than 9 to 10.)

Ashes feels very much like beta Dark of Camelot right now - solo'ing isn't extremely difficult if you pick your locations wisely, have a safe escape route ready if you over aggro or get trained, and play methodically. That's true now largely because the NPCs are not very social, so single pulling isn't difficult.(If that changes significantly solo'ing will become VERY difficult - Please don't make Ashes into old school EQ 1 or 2!!.)

NPC density, weirdly varying aggro ranges, and the fact that NPCs don't leash for an insanely long distance makes solo'ing in some locations far more difficult. As I'm moving into the 10 to 12 level highwaymen the biggest problem is the only reasonable XP solo grinding is on the outer fringes - inside you too easily get unintentionally or intentionally trained by other players or aggro'd by respawns. Have not yet had an XP group flag up to remove me, but I'm sure that will be normal in release. (Again hoping the release map is huge so multiple out of the way locations exist.)

Grouped yesterday for a short while with several good folks up on that mountain top highwaymen area, Nika'brea Ruins, so I could get drops required for a quest in that heavily camped area. While I was there I was primarily the tank for the named boss. (Being a level 9 ranger I was more circle straffing it around a fence than face-tanking. The actual tanks I saw trying mostly died when face tanking it.) That location also had a book for another quest. Long ramble short, I know too late, those types of POI locations are perfect for folks that don't normally like to group as it's just randoms inviting each other to grind XP and get quest objectives. MORE of that would be great. Really there is already more of that because of the Events that pop up around the world.

Personally I'd like things stay where the game is currently remain(minus the rubber banding and broken agrro deaths!) Possible to solo but not WoW level of easy to do so.

Honestly, you might want to wait till phase 2 when the story arcs come out. It may improve your experience and be a bit more solo friendly. I don’t think mob grinding is suppose to be the only way to level. There should be more options as we get closer to release.

let us hope so..... currently the solo experience is very bad... either questing.. or solo farming should be viable
