Ah, that is one box against how many ways to obtain new items alone? Surely the ratio seems to be favoured already to soloable content.
I'd love to see something that really requires a full team, preferably with mixed loadouts to beat. There should always be a healthy balance between solo and group content, to keep everyone satisfied.

umm grandmaster box dyamio box sleepwalker box, comando gear pandors box's ok now can you name anything you can get of equal value solo to whats in them?
Those can be beaten alone or with two persons and really don't require a full team.


umm no try and do a dyamio or grandmaser box alone, pls dont post supid comments was looking for a discussion not potential flame

 

Ok, you win. I shall worship three times to the North day in day out, beginning today.

believe him on it 2 people can do a gm box and even easier an SW. idk about Dayimo but I bet 3 could do it with the right load. although for that a full team definitly helps. even pb4s can be done with say 3 hackers and the right location. only thing that really really takes multiple full teams is killing lvl100s or say how we used to kill an unlimit Lt. ever other week.
although the point of having a smaller version of a box sounds cool but I dont know what they could implement people from farming say all the SW marbles from the smaller one easily and then doing one normal for the signature.
there would have to be completely different items. and then it wouldn't be a box it would be more like the SSR stuff which is nice because you only need a team for part of it (the ten earpieces) but then tecniqully you only need  a team for the end tokens of boxs even though its more costly to do just the soloable parts on your own until it gets to hard.
wow I didn't plan on blabbing that much.

Yeah, you can do a Grandmaster box with 2 people and finish it within the time limit. Just because maybe you haven't done one with that few people or haven't seen it happen doesn't mean it can't be done.

More things for the casual player would be nice. Solo things are good too.

I'm just tired of the find a group to farm that takes forever to get 1 item. Sure it's got good buffs but the time to gain ratio is messed. It's a decent money sink though.

I think what's trying to be conveyed here is you can almost always find one other person at least and farm with them. A full team is hard, a duo is obtained with a simple /tell. Because it's easy enough to do that, there doesn't need to be that big a focus on soloable content in my opinion.

maybe so but how about some new solo content with rewards that just look good so clothing thats got rubbish stats but look good kinda like the headless glasses looks good and dosent take hour opon hours to get, like some one else say maybe somet for the casual player who cant spend time finding a group to do a grind with to get 10% of what you need for 1 item. just somet you can pop on and do in 20/30mins in a lunch break or somet maybe even headless glasses but in dirrerent colours so its not that hard to made for the dev's.

anyone agree/disagree ?

Well imo, the Dev's should spend their time on content so we enjoy it but make it so that everyone doesn't have the items a few hours after they've been introduced. It'd just mean that all the work done by the devs to add this content will be simply swept aside after a day or two. Perhaps soloing content for half an hour or so to get a single, one use ability pill, but not for something which you're not gonna farm again for a long time. The Org archives for the shadow pills were a good idea, but generally underused due to the level of the NPC and having to keep going in and out of the area.

The headless glasses are a point in case, half hour soloing the headless NPC's and you have no need to go back there again really.

lol...



the sleepwalker box can be solo'd with howitzer/destroyer tree...
with each box you can get around 14 marbles so it will take 3/4 boxes
3 hacker can do 3 boxes quickly and then you got the sleepwalker jeans... Simple..

Vosiler,

I think its harsh to say just because someone CAN use a load out that you cant, to do something that they are sploiting.

Learn to use the trees to their max and THEN you can justify saying something like that.

 

Anyway.. soloable content is all and well but like others have pointed out it would have to be for the appropriate reward.  No point in farming solo for an object that your never gonna have to get again.. well at least not for a long time atleast.
