Hi guys. I just got back to CoH from being gone for over a year. I've only been back in game for like 3 days. I see the game has changed, not a lot but enough to say "I need to relearn how to play". When I left I was really good at playing, not the best but good and now I can't solo missions anymore. In the last 3 days I've tried several missions with each of both my heroes and villains and I can't solo them. I'm not complaining but I have to say that what ever they changed in game made it a lot harder to go solo. I know this is a multi player game and I like grouping but I was wanting to solo for a while to relearn the game and that’s hard right now.

Anyone else whose been in game for the last year find the game harder or is it just me since I’ve been gone.

welcome back, Sunshine!

what specifically is choking you on the solo missions? if you've been gone a year, there's been a LOT of changes. Not all are easily seen.

It might help if you'd describe the characters by level, powers, enhancements used, etc. Have you checked your mission settings with the Hero Corp representatives? Perhaps they are set too high.

i'd suggest stop sucking.

they haven't changed that much, there has basically been 2 real updates since you left, i14 and i16(which were more or less 6 months apart and its been 6 months since i16), which was AE and power customization (patch15 doesn't count). sounds like you just need to get reacquainted with your toons.

Well, they did change mission difficulties...there's a chance the difficulty you were on when you left isn't the same as when you got back.

Before, there were a couple levels of difficulty with increasing enemies and enemy level. This couldn't be controlled. Now, you can control the amount of enemies and their level indepently. Also, you can control whether you want bosses solo or not.

Check in with a Field Analyst or Fateweaver to make changes. This should help you solo better.

Yeah, I suck too. After an 8 month absence, all of my friends are purpled out and missions with me in them feel like I'm more of a charity case than a necessary part of the team.

I find myself soloing a lot too.

You don't need purples to not suck. I came back a few weeks ago after a 6 month break. It's like riding a bike. I just had to remember all my binds.

Welcome back!

Welcome back!
Then I guess I'm plain garden variety of suck. . Two months and I'm a born again n00b. Or maybe I've never left that category and everyone was just being extra nice to me before.

Do you ever have that problem about not finishing your stories a sentence earlier? Back to the OP...
