Here's what I don't understand. How does "not staying only in the Architect" translate into "not able to solo?" The Architect is certainly not the only place where you can solo. In fact, with the way people design their custom critters and the new experience restrictions requiring Hard/Hard for full experience, it's actually WORSE for soloing than just picking up regular content missions.

If this game was any easier to solo I would not have to press the buttons.

None of that is still quite the same as getting your own travel power when you're new - I just think it'd be nice to get to pick your travel pool when you were making your avatar, even if your actual travel power didn't come until 5 or 6.

I Disagree this game was Design on Socializing and teaming,Beside anyone can Solo if they want to they just need a good build,If you want a good Solo Toon Go with Scrapper,Tanker or Blaster,Defenders and controllor where meant to travel in group to give Buff and Debuff to the bad guys.If you had a hard time forming a team then join a global Channel on your Server,Best way to find teams and TF to join.Also try to branch out a bit om another active Servers.If you can't find a good team and if you need a good Solo toon then get mids Hero Design,great way to build a really good Solo friendy Toon for when you need to travel a lone.

I think he's having trouble because he might be playing a Squshie toon like Defenders and Controllors.Defender and Controllors are pretty much Support toons and not Damage and mosty likey better in a group.If you need a toon for soloing then go with Tankers and Scrappers,they are well Solo Friendy Toons and Blaster are good to but Squshie in battle.

S0me opponents, even as Elite Bosses, are tough, especially for some ATs, and there are the few multi-click adventures. But in general? Anyone can solo. |

What is this "team" you speak of?
Those other people with the usually ridiculous costumes that seem to do the dumbest things while I'm trying to kill stuff? That what you mean?

I soloed plenty, back in the days when there were no Safeguard-issued travel power substitutes, no buffs to the experience curve, no Origin temp powers, etc etc... as a defender. Uphill, through the Hollows, both ways! (And the last is, for once, not a joke. If you were there, you know what I mean.)
New players these days have it easy.

Dosen't seem to make much sense. If I can't run AE in peace and be forced to ask for PUs to accomplish my goals, this game would become a clone of everything else out there. |
are that big of Anti-social person you rather be alone,plez don't be like that ok bro go out and team with people,get to no people and you will have more teams up and lvl much quicker.
I use to Solo when i was on dial up and dude it's suck being alone all the time and be able to hang out with any one.
