You want something that's IMPOSSIBLE for YOU alone before being forced to team. But the game isn't balanced around YOU. Imagine if the TFs didn't have player limits: Jonny Newbian comes along and sees Statesman, and talks to him. How far do you think he'll get before rampaging onto the forums crying about how "That statesjerk's mission arc is too hard!" and we all have to tell him that it's designed for 8 people?

Now imagine this happening Every. Single. Week. Multiple times, even.

Also, let's play the slippery slope game: Let's say the devs DO allow you to solo a TF. Eventually, the hardcore players are going to want badges to show off their awesomeness. What if the devs granted them that? What about all the other badgers who don't have the capacity to solo AVs? Mind you, the game and rewards system are balanced around SOs (except the invention badges, heh), and I don't see too many "AV killer" builds working without IOs, making badges for soloing TFs unfair.

Any content that lets one person do it should be playable by a solo, SO'd Empath defender who only takes half their attacks. I realize that sounds sad, but it's how you make a game like this work for the most number of people.

Yeah, you could have the contacts say "You might want to bring X# of friends", but does anyone ever actually pay attention to that? I know I don't.

I guess the underlining reason for my objection is such: -I- wouldn't be able to solo most TFs (unless the AVs downgraded to EBs, though i doubt that'd fly). Don't get me wrong, I'm a reasonably competent player with IO'd-out 50s and such... but the majority of my characters' powersets and pool choices are not 100% conducive for this sort of thing, and that's honestly not fair. While complaints that we don't feel exactly like "Heroes" and "Villains" within the respective Cities theroef are valid, the title of the game ISN'T "City of Powergamers", and the devs opening up content that would embrace that sort of playstyle would only further divide the playerbase and force a lot of people who aren't up to snuff to quit. If you open up TFs to soloing, you have to nerf the crap out of them so that -anyone- could solo them... and then adjust the rewards accordingly. And that'd take away all the accomplishment and reason for trying to solo them in the first place.

I personally would like to take control of either the dark watcher with his pure mystery look about him or synapse! Why? Because running around the city with that trail he leaves would never get old!

Only main problem is how they would work with attacks that already do two damage types.

As a caveat, however, you should only be able to get rewards up to your account purchase date. It would allow people who have had their accounts inactive for periods to make amends and get some of the rewards.

Yeah, so my account was started April 18th, 2004 and I only have the 27 month vet reward... wanna fight about it?
