DDO Goes Solo

[Jun 07, 2006, 11:49 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach Website (thanks Frans) has word on the addition of solo play to Turbine's D&D MMORPG. The update gives details on new solo options, as well as changes to the experience requirements to advance in level. Here's a bit:

An all new solo setting is being introduced to help new DDO players navigate through the early game content, allowing them the time and space to learn about their characters, try strategies and face monsters for the first time on their own. Players will now have the option to play at their own pace as a solo-player in the Harbor.

The Harbor Solo Option
Quests in the Harbor have a new option available to you, opening up solo gameplay during your character's earliest levels. In addition to the Normal, Hard and Elite settings already available for each dungeon, the Solo option allows you to take on a dungeon at a difficulty setting suited for a single player. When you enter a dungeon on the solo setting, it contains monsters and traps that can be defeated without the help of a party.

I'm not sure I get the issue with grouping in a mmorpg? After all, the game is online? Why shouldn't you group. Because I don't like being dependent on random yokels. I have yet to find an MMORPG with a good group-finding interface that allows me to weed out the noob kiddies from the real players. This is the main reason I stopped playing Guild Wars.
