Then why can you choose a title that says… ‘plays solo’ (or whatever it says)
You are supposed to be able to play the game solo…
Except for dungeons.
Quests in the world (not dungeons) should be playable by solo players. But they are not now.
CLEARLY this isn’t supposed to be a solo game. It’s an MMO (massive multiplayer online) game. I think you’re not seeing the issue here. This “mmo” was executed so POORLY, to the point it plays like a solo game. Heck, we all know the definition, we all know it’s not supposed to be a solo game LMAO.
Theory=/= practice.
New world is designed in a way in which there’s no point to play and level up with friends, and even if there was a point it still has many issues that won’t allow to play with friends.
Have you ever tried playing with friends? I don’t think you have because you’re swearing up and down this game is perfectly designed for group play.
Let’s start with quests, let’s say you pick a quest that sends you to everfall, and your friend picks a quest that sends them to first light. How the FUCK are you going to play together?? It’s already hard enough because you can’t share quests and most of the time you won’t be at the exact same level and same quest as your friend, and the cherry on top is the extremely horrid design of quests that scatters them all across the continent 
Ok, so quests is a no no. You say to your friend “lets do some town boards then :D”. Guess what? Completely random missions that won’t match with your friend’s missions.
Ok, so town boards is a no no. What do you do now? The answer is NOTHING. Literally each person goes on its separate ways and it sucks so much. I hate that the game is designed this way, I hate that my friends stopped playing, I hate that even after all of this you have the AUDACITY to say “this is a group game :)”
MMO does NOT mean that you have to be in a group… It just means that you are playing a game where there are a lot of other people playing the same game as you…
It’s whatever you choose it to be
No solo, no MMO, the is a PVP only game. Sorry.
Little fella this game IS dying. Forums are only good thing anymore
Every MMO on the market is tuned so that basic quests in normal zones are soloable. Those that aren’t have recommendations like, “Three Players Suggested.”
And in every MMO a capable player can even solo those. Everyone knows this. So stop pretending you don’t.
Everyone rightfully expects this, it’s how MMO players have been playing for at least 15 years now. Your comment is obtuse.

I see the irony, but yeah, after patch 1.1, AGS clearly show their experience goals… You’re right in the end.
Regarding assumptions: This game is not a Solo game and will be abandoned soon for PVE players, and after for PVP players that left this game to play Forza Horizon.
Congratulations AGS to reject PVE players so well. We understand now your moves.
Your comment is completely out of context bro. The issue is not about being able to solo content, its about the lack of group play. Idk if you replied to the wrong person? There’s literally no relevance to the issue I’m talking with the other person.
I even agree and acknowledge that mmos should allow content to be soloable.
I KNOW. My comment was directed to the person that said this was a social game by definition. I am NOT talking about the ability to solo content. It’s about the lack of group play in the questing/leveling process. Please try to stay in the context of the topic, thanks!
Uh, “bro.” Apparently you need to work on editing and clarity, then. Since nobody grasps the point you buried in that wall of text. “Bro.” Yo.
My comment wasnt directed at you, it was directed at Bloodangel…
PLUS, this thread is about solo quests are no longer playable…
So YOU need to stay on topic.
I think people are missing the point on purpose tbh. I never mentioned an issue with being able to solo content. My issue is with the lack of group play. If people can’t understand this, that’s their own fault lmao. You didn’t even respond to the issues I mentioned, and you strictly focused on the “soloable” content part, which is out of context. You’re an example of the people that missed the point “bro”
Edit: apparently they weren’t replying to me, so my point still stands 
Oh, my bad. I thought it was a reply to me lol! No need to get so mad tho. I said you were out of context because you said some stuff that did not have anything to do with what I said. But this wasn’t the case so why are u attacking me?
This thread is…
So level 60 solo quests are no longer soloable…
Its not about the lack of group play
I was having a convo with somebody else, I think we already cleared this enough. Have a good day!
lol troll much?
You need to be flagged for PVP to troll.
Your a silly pumkin
It’s not a refreshing change at all… it’s a really stupid change. I’ve just done that exact quest as level 59. It took me 10-15 mins to kill that guy solo. It was boring beyond belief. Exact same thing with a faction mission to kill an elite croc… although at least this one is labelled as elite.
The worst thing is that this is an undocumented change that AGS haven’t even acknowledged. Just some dev post about changes to end-game Elite POI’s… not one word about the fact that all elites have been turned into health sponges.
I play as a healer so I am able to keep myself up through these fights… no idea if it is even possible for a straight DPS spec. If not it’s even worse… if so then it’s still just as dumb as it would take a DPS spec I guess 5-8 mins instead of 10-15 and constant chugging of health pots.
ALL THIS FOR A SIMPLE SOLO SIDE QUEST.
I took 3 long range shots from a low level portal tentacle running past it in Windsward as a level 59 and almost died, that never happened to me before either. I was solo-ing those portals occassionally for giggles at much lower level.
This stealth change to elites may or may not make end-game farming more challenging in a very boring way… what it definitely does do is negatively affect players at all levels. It affects solo players and players who play in groups together. This makes every in-game activity involving elites pointlessly time consuming and boring enough to put people off playing altogether.
The failure to acknowledge or explain this situation is pretty embarrassing.
