Dungeoneering - Team vs Solo

[Bad911]

I've been soloing and I haven't really been in a group team that benefited me at all. The fact that it isn't hard yet still long is really sleep inducing. I was wondering if I got a good team together, would it be worth it?

 

1. For some of the puzzles and bosses, you need more than one person; so, if they leave, the entire trip is ruined right? For instance, the mime one, the pressure pads wouldn't trigger if there wasn't everyone who joined on their respective pads.

2. What complexity should I use? The moment they see complexity 6, they leave. Made worse by the fact that most of the people can't even get into complexity 6.

3. Assuming the above two weren't such big deterrents, I'll get more exp than if I soloed right? Would my teammates get points for doing nothing?

1. not necessarily, you might get lucky and not run into puzzles that require the entire team.

2. always use complexity 6 unless your rushing for prestige.

most people can get into complexity 6, maybe you're looking for the wrong places.

 

3. a good team should earn 2-4 times as much as a solo, done perfectly.

if a teammate does nothing, i think they still get the full xp, they just get a bad medal at the end.

 

just find good teammates, and stick with them

it sounds like you're picking random stragglers from the lobby.

Thanks Morionic! I don't exactly know what I'm supposed to look for when I invite people. I don't necessarily need higher leveled people, I usually just need teammates to clear the rooms faster and help with the boss. Its so hard too, they sometimes disconnect or just flat out leave.

Get a group of friends. Personally, I like soloing better, although team probably nets more xp.

I don't have friends.

Then use forums/w2

Also, all puzzles/bosses should be able to be completed by the amount of people who start the dungeon. For instance if it's just you the Gluttonous Behemoth should only have access to one corpse, but if you have more than that he gets 2 corpses to heal from. So don't let that deter you solo'ing.

Yeah, you're not alone.

 

Let's start a club!

 

Feel free to add me (just like anyone looking for duo partners, for that matter) and maybe we could go on some duos. RSN: Warblastoise

Correction - The mime puzzle with pressure pads is one per person. If you are soloing from the start, there is one statue to mime.

The mime puzzle with pressure pads is one per person. If there's one of you, there is one statue to mime.

And if there is two people, then there is two statues. If one person leaves, the statue stays and the game doesn't start by itself. The progress bar shows at the top, but the statues won't display any actions.

 

I also hear that some people are bringing level 3s along to decrease the difficulty. Not to mention the fact that the skill is partial to lower levels, the level 3s gain higher experience points, don't have to do anything, and contribute more to the dungeon than anything else.

Now that's an interesting thing to know :thumbsup:
