Defacto solo que SC

Post#1 » Sun Jul 10, 2016 7:52 pm

Because I have gone half insane solo queing on my zealot in EU times I would like to tell those of you who PUG why you should be solo queing for reikland factory only.

>It's the fastest scenario
Spend less time in a hopeless scenario

>It's much more focused on capping objectives than actual fighting
This gives PUGs a much better shot at scoring points and getting emblems if they find themselves in a hopeless situation. This also means that it is easier to split up groups and fight them at a better advantage.

>It has the most complex web of pathways to objectives of any scenario
More ways to escape from unbalanced fights and get passed premades to back cap objectives, or escape to fight another day.


Basically if you are queing up for scenarios like howling gorge where you spend 15 minutes fighting a premade with your terrible solo que mish mash group and only score 5 points to receive nothing... you have only yourself to blame for queing for those kinds of scenarios where that can happen. If you only que for scs like reikland factory it will improve your solo que experience 10 fold, just try it.

I que for reikland, GoE, and Isha right now since they turnover fast. But ideally I would like to only que for reik and get pops :^)

HG SP and KE give me cancer though, even in a premade group it is horrible 15 minute sc almost every time.

do people know the point of doing sc is playing the sc not farming the rewards, you want to just go in and back out in 5 min that's no fun, enjoy the game, play it, maybe if people did this more they would be better

That's not what this is about, if you read the OP you'll see one of the major points is the scenario allows weaker groups to compete and actually play the scenario instead of getting spawn camped.

Personally, I blacklist anything which takes too long. The only times i'm in SCs is because RvR is dead or people in the guild need them.

Battle for Praag, Howling Gorge, Serpent's Passage and Khaine's Embrace personally take too long to be viable for people getting SC weapons. Usually lasting 10+ minutes.

Gates, Mourkain, Reikland and Lost Temple are generally really quick. Mourkain can take some time but prems will usually take the part after 2mins of spawn camp.

Yeah, that would be ideal but instead you have people whining about premades stomping them. Instead of making their own and discovering another entertaining and competitive facet of the game they would just rather whine and prefer Doorhammer and AoE Faceroll Buttonmash 5000 . They'll get their wish when the current gear becomes obsolete and they don't need to do scenarios again ever unless they want the SC weapons.

What you seem to fail to understand, like many others have done in the history of MMOs that being in a PuG is a STATE and not a TRAIT. The person creating this thread has provided some useful suggestions for everyone when they are in the state of PuGing, that doesn't mean he doesn't enjoy playing in a premade much more, or that premade vs. premade isn't one of the most fun aspects of the game.

Of course the game should hopefully encourage for people to group and even make 'pick-up' premades etc.. However that doesn't mean that the solo PuGing experience should necesarrily equate to being farmed for 15 minutes at the spawn in Serpent's Passage.
