Solo Difficulty

It's ludicrous how difficult leveling is on your own. Not even considering the quest bugs that make the quests 100x slower, mobs are insanely dangerous and the spawn rates are high on top of that - so not only am I fighting for my life, but I'm probably going to be ambushed by a random spawn to ensure my death.

Questing should be the easiest and most fun content, yet I'm forced to consider just grinding down mobs in a group just to get a level. This is simply not an acceptable game design. Any casual solo player should be more than capable of picking up a quest and completing it for good XP and unique rewards.

If this is too much to ask, then this game is dead on arrival and not worth investing time in, because currently, casuals will be met with an immediate wall of difficulty that's going to turn them off within an hour of playing the game. It's simply not acceptable.

All opinions should be welcome here. Insults are not helpful to development.

For the OP: I felt similar to you during my first shot at the game in P1, with regard to difficulty. Then I learned a lot more about the game mechanics and how to setup "combos" and stack damage (solo). During P2 dying has been rare, and mostly in a group with bad pulls.

Steven has said that the game in it's current state is hardest on the solo player, and that should get easier as more content is added.

Don't let me harshness fool you - I'm incredibly hopeful for the game. I believe the Devs are intent on earnestly making this a great game.

I just felt this needed to be communicated is all. Cheers.
