I want trials of all kinds, not just raid, not just group, not just solo. That way you can't sneak past anything; somewhere there'll be a gotcha if you're not up to snuff.

So the grand solution to this is to make the questline for epics soloable?
Newsflash suck players strive at one aspect of the game....soloing.

In the past you have been advocate of master spells only dropping on raids....but you want the epic to be implimented to be soloed /boggle.

Im gonna tell you this tho...you are dead wrong if you think the epics should be able to be obtained solo.And anyone that would agree with that idea would be wrong also.

every main epic quest line for each exspantion has had solo/grp/raid parts in it ....so not sure what your asking for then.

And as far as anything solo the game is designed around adept1 master crafted gear and a half a brain.SoE will not at all deviate from that and are even strengthening there stance on this.

Anything that has to do with solo will never ever be a challenge because its designed so "suck players" will be able to play this game to.

I agree. These quests should require that a person have the utmost of class intelligence and ability in order to get the items. Soloing some of it should be required, but not in the fashion that SoD had us in NT fighting greens and shit.

SoD is a retarded clown exercise. Solo instance trial(s), right after the legendary reward and before the epic phase(s). Only the penitent man will pass!

I agree that having a difficult solo part of epic quest lines would be a good thing, but you have to realize that this would not come close to preventing shitty players from getting their epic weapons. After all, people log on each other's accounts, especially in high-end guilds. Furthermore, solo skill is by no means a definitive measure of overall player skill; it's possible to be a shitty solo player, but a good raid player. However, again, I agree that having a difficult solo part would be good.

suck ass players suck at evrything. and it's extra funny when a fully fabled tard cant solo the instances i can in tresured.

im thinking having to clear an instance like nest or something to move on in progression would be cool. it would have to be tapperd to class but having it require more than one or two encounters(name encounters) not just mindless killing.

if there should be some solo trial make it time trial, that should help a bit cutting the competent from the clueless.

I'd be all for a track and field type solo instance where you need to jump on stones and shit and race through a bunch of obstacles to get to the finish line, Super Mario style. No killing involved and the time limit to do it should be a challenge. Hell, they could even make it where you get a debuff upon entering where your runspeed buffs are negated, to prevent classes which would have an unfair advantage.

I think seemless movement and coordination of a toon is an overlooked aspect in this game. It's another thing that seperates the good players from the bad players and it'd be something that isn't gear dependant.
