Cap is 240 and I doubt the devs have given the 60s more than 240 viral res (any more than the cap is a buffer in case of debuffs), in which case ... I rest my case (read my posts), because I know I can deal "insane" amount of damage on them, even if it's only for a very short amount of time.

so you saying you can solo it ? without useing the exploit ?

Was for posts in genral not personlly for you.

Then your mistaken or the people you heard it from are, i know for a fact its not possiable since they add'ed the lvl 60 with high viral res unless ofcourse your talking about before ?, you shouldent trust hearsay, or shall i come on syntax go in the saties playground and watch some one solo it with hacker without the sploit ?
I thought you said to post only if you have an opinion on solo content? Now you're telling her not to or am I just reading that first part wrong?

I really doubt they added more viral resistance to the NPCs, I didn't notice any change last time I farmed marbles. Also, don't go calling out Syntax as the only server to have players use the exploit, I'm very sure others on Recursion and Vector-Hostile have done it before too. If you can't farm the items, then farm some info and buy them, like I said in my earlier post.

NO wrong maybe you should read comments first cratyzee said "the sleepwalker box can be solo'd with howitzer/destroyer tree" this is not possiable without useing the exploit that was semi fixed with the lvl 60 with insane viral res you cannot complete a sleepwalker box without some sort of healer or full group UNLESS you use the EXPLOIT where you pull them out of range so they STOP attacking you.

Please dont post because you can post becuase you have an opinion on solo content


Is that a fact huh?

Last i heard people were pulling it off without the sploit. 

Also.. what??  "dont post because you can post because you have an opinion on solo content"?  READ MY FULL POST MATE... I clearly stated my view on solo content.

What you're saying is really hearsay too.

The only difference being you're going against what some other people are saying. Should we trust your hearsay because you say it's not possible?

im saying prove its possiable and im saying people on recursion use the exploit nothing else about other servers just people think they can solo a box of which has been made increasily more hard thats ment for a group of 50's dosent strike anyone else as ood ? i guess im dealing with a bunch of fourm bum chumps here eh? anyway ive requested the thread be clear of off topic posts like this and a few others so it gets back on topic.

And also its not about if i can farm them or not and fyi i have a fullset of the 50 gear already its that why should i have to wait for a group to do anything fun i want to be able to just run off now and then and do some thing new on my own i love all the group content thats been added BUT why has no solo stuff be added aswell ?

Should there be a better Ratio of solo - group content?

Headless shades, Industrial Fedora, 10 gloves, PB's 1-3, 01 Taskmaster, SSR helmet, Mobius, HJ Beta etc... all available to do / kill soloable with more effort required for some than others. So the high level SW & Ninja stuff, PB 4 and Area K (for casual players) may require players to group to do easily, there seems to be a decent ratio anyway. I'd like to see some more soloable stuff as well as team stuff but as I'd like to see a continuance on the PB's or a quest with a story to it. As I said, I'd like to see soloable content for consumables rather than clothing so the content can be used often.

well clothes do decay and stuff but i want more lvl 50 solo stuff thats fun and different from what we have now Headless shades, Industrial Fedora, 10 gloves, PB's 1-3, 01 Taskmaster, SSR helmet, Mobius, HJ Beta etc all require you to grind items to trade i want some thing that you can just go and do and get the item does that make sence ? i do agee about seeing more pb boxes i like them and story missions are awesome too

*thread cleaned*

Here is an idea... how about you guys stop arguing/flaming each other and get back on topic before I give every single one of you a time out.

So, if you have more solo-able content, how long do you think it'll keep you occupied for?

As long as the Corruptor Quest line?  As long as it takes to do a Pandora's Box 3?

Elite Commando stuff can be solo'd too.

I really think we're getting to a reasonable balance. Items like the SSR shades are a good example, all the gum collecting can be solo'd and the earpieces take a team. Same with the Area K. There's also all the collector items in Downtown to get. PB's, Pandora's/Sleepwalker/Kunoichi boxes, Datamining, the various constructs, archive missions etc. Corruptor Quest in Bathary can be done mostly solo, get back to us when you have farmed a Patchers Headgear solo and ask for more content ^^.

Seen it done and without a lowbie alt. Not hard but very time consuming. Only difficult part is takeing the big guy down.

The entire point I was making is he wants more solo content and there's a massive quest he can get onto.

the thing im on about is solo that you dont have to grind for hours and hours :/ so some sort of special missions for a unique pair of glasses like the headless ones but different or something thats not that great for combat so no buffs but can be worn with pride, maybe a varyation of the item so you do a quest and you get a random item from it random from a select group ofcourse getting a fm-1500 or some thing would be insane  just so the casual player that long on dosent have time to spend hours doing box's or grinding comando gear but wants some thing new from the game that dosent take hours to grind or hours to collect items or maybe some thing that changes every time so maybe a collector mission that changes from save a guy to kill the guy or spy on the guy each time and you get a random item for completeing it.

So it's not really about keeping yourself occupied for hours on end with items you can get by yourself, you just seem to want "insta-prizes" that can be obtained quickly. 

Having to farm the items makes them more valuable and gives you something to spend your time getting.  If Rarebit were to introduce 15 new items tomorrow you can get my running a special mission, you'd be done in a couple hours and have nothing to do again.  However, Rarebit has designed quests that are time-consuming and offer a wide range of great gear and you're not happy.

Yeah it sucks that teams aren't at everyone's beck and call to get some of the required items for the end game gear.  However, anything worth having is worth working for right?

Instant gratification FTL?

Or maybe I've greatly misinterpreted it all.

ok good point maybe a timer on the mission then so every 2 days and  it has lets say 15 (as you said it) prizes that are random but the mission is random to so you can do the mission and get an item you already have then 2 days later, you can do it again but its a different mission but you still have the 1/15 chance of getting the same item so it might not take long to do the missions but you cant farm it, you have to wait for it, AND its not hours apon hours of grinding to get?

so its not Instant gratification but it isnt a grind fest
