This event is an insult. It isn't even possible for player to get the simple level 2 reward unless they play group content. I left the game this day without playing. <== my opinion. Why should I pay full price for the game when I am only getting half the game?
Many of the base game group dungeons are easily soloable with a companion! There’s nothing in the requirements of needing to complete any of the objectives with a group (with the possible exception of one of the specific dungeons — I don’t recall which all are listed).
Soloable by whom? Those that do group dungeon and have the better gear and pots from doing group dungeons? Forgive but I place this in the same bin as 'I can do the whole game naked' claim. I don't believe it. I have not been able to duplicate the claim.
I am by no means an elite player, certainly not when it comes to DPS. I’ve normal Fungal Grotto, for instance, with a character as I was leveling so I could join the Undaunted and start leveling that line. I ran it with a companion. I think I focused on damage and heals and had my companion focus on aggro and staying alive. I think I used tri pots from log in rewards and similar food — nothing fancy. I had my crafter make gear for my level so I was wearing whatever sets I thought helpful — no dungeon or trial sets, nor PvP or overland. It’s not going to be the fastest way to run the dungeon, but it was fun and I like to run through the whole story and dialogue sometimes.
