Beast personality from solo march of sacrifices?

SwordOfSagas · January 9

I think it would be cool, or even a new personality or skin. I bet the achievement sellers won't like it though lol.

The personality requires completing the speed run, no death, hard mode, and veteran clear of the dungeon, all of which require you to be in Veteran Mode.

Solo Dungeons will not be in Veteran Mode.

We don't know that. Solo arenas have a vet mode.

I thought I remembered something about there being both a story mode and a more challenging solo version but can't find it now

i also remember zos mentioning different difficulties for Solo dungeons, but not sure where.

regardless, it would be wonderful if it was possible to get collectibles like the Beast personality from Solo dungeons

Solo dungeons will have harder difficulties, but I would agree that the current achievements and their respective rewards shouldn't be given to players who do them in solo. If they are truly going to be balanced for 1 player, it would be extremely easy to do all of the hard achievements. Instead. They should instead provide new achievements and rewards for completing them on solo.

No. Solo dungeons should have their own rewards and achievements, with rewards being at veteran level at the most, as they will be easier content than vHMs - because even a soloHM won't require near precise co-ordination between 4 people.

More people = Harder not easier.

To be fair, MoS HM does not require precise coordination. If you want to do it correctly for the trifecta then it does but it's really easy to recover during hunt phase.

But yeah, no, worm wizard and beast should not be given from a solo mode. These personalities and MAYBE the green wall of elements are the only things pushing people to try challenger dungeons beyond the queue (trust me, they really are not as difficult to obtain as one might think*, and that's exactly why we need them). If we don't have these carrots, then the flow to endgame dungeons will be starved even further.

*coming from the perspective of someone who was TERRIBLE at dungeons. I joined in early 2019, pugged dungeons from then until joining what is now my guild in 2021, and in the same year I joined my guild is when I got both beast and worm wizard. It's not that it's inaccessible, it's that you can't pug it.

It can already be achieved solo!

This. It's important to have unique rewards for harder content and socialization for group content. It helps flow more people into more activities even if they thought they couldn't do them, and encourages them to stay longer in an mmorpg.

If you want the reward earn it. If you can't, it's all cosmetic anyway, do without it.

EDIT: as @Desiato shows, it's soloable to boot already if you have the skill.

I was discussing the matter in general. But if we want to have a semantic argument - I'd point out rezzing falls under group co-ordination.

sure, next we should implement solo trials and let players get trifectas that way

also the scoreboard for solo and 12-man trials should be the same
