Master Weapons VR16 from Solo Trial?

Troneon · October 2015

Did they mention anything about the VR16 rewards from completing the new solo trial? Any chance of VR16 Master Weapons?

Geemarc · October 2015

Yes new master weapons from the leader board and I think they said a chance from the final chest on veteran mode.

Troneon · October 2015

This and the LFG Tool / Cross Faction grouping...:)

Only thing now is new raids/trails, up scale dsa/trials to VR16 and that's all that is missing now.

That's really fricking awesome. I am also sort of hoping for VR16 warlocks set and some other sets that are still not VR16.

A solo trial? Is this even an MMO? MMOs by definition are multiplayer. Now I have to throw out my Templar support and healing build for some half cocked jack of all trades build to do end game content? Its a horrible idea. If I wanted to play guild wars 2 I would.

Something for everyone. If you don't like it, you don't have to do it. Some of us like to play by ourselves sometime as well as in a group depending on our mood.

Yeah, giving some challenging content to the players who don't want to group up, which is also appealing to players who sometimes group and sometimes solo is a terrible idea! Everyone must be forced to always play the way you want if they want to do any challenging content!

I guess I must have missed the part where the launch details said that you're forced to do this solo arena, even if you have no interest in it.

I like the idea of the solo arena. It gives players challenges without needing to group up. Which is hard to do on the consoles at present.

Hopefully the changes to the LFG tool will make this easier in the future though.

Just because they mention a solo arena doesn't mean it discounts other aspects in the game. You sure are very dismissive.

This. It's fun to test out my character in all sorts of different environments. A solo trial sounds awesome!

Your argument collapses on itself since you are arguing for a variety of different options and this entire DLC is solo. You are simply arguing against yourself. My argument is that sure a few solo options would have been nice but an entire solo DLC for 25 bucks is a terrible idea.

... the entire DLC is certainly not solo - did you watch the stream?

New public dungeons (*cough* public *cough*), and you can do the entire zone as a group, excluding the one, single solo arena.

This - I can see myself having a lot of fun with it. I don't always have friends online when I want to do stuff!

Another not so great representation of facts. I could take a raid group of 24 v16 characters questing in Auridon, but that doesn't make it fun.

Translation: Just because you can do the public dungeons in a group doesn't mean that will be fun.

Gilvoth · October 2015

i allways solo just about everything and the only time i group is when i have zero choice ifi want the reward.
so this solo for me is the way i pretty much live in all mmo's i play, and to see it here solo play in eso? wow, dream come true for me

You don't realise that Orsinium is just an initial release, and there IS a new trial coming after the release; but just because you want it now with the DLC doesn't mean it SHOULD be part of this Nov DLC. Patience of people these days. If "solo players" have to wait more than a year for their supposeably new zones, why can't you be happy for them. This is coming from a raider, and I understand the full circumstance that this game have massive amount of 'solo players' in it.

The Solo arena sounds great, personally i can't wait to give it a go.

The point I'm making is that this isn't 'an entire solo DLC for 25 bucks', only one aspect is a solo-only element - the rest is more than available for group play - if you choose not to group up for it then that's your choice, but the option is definitely there in the DLC. But hey, I'm first in the queue for wanting new group content, I'll likely mix and match between soloing and grouping for this - because ZoS have given us the option.
