    This sounds like this game hasenough PvE content for players. Is that true? I had thought this was a game primarily focused on PvP which I'm just not into. As a PvE focused player should I give this a shot, & would it offer enough?

    If they're introducing solo dungeons now, that would imply the game originally didn't have enough PvE content before that they had to resort to this.

    Whether or not it has enough PvE content NOW after this update might be another question entirely of course. One which probably can't be answered until people had a chance to try it out.

    Ehhh, if you're looking for raids and such I wouldn't bother. They have dungeons and they are fun but nothing on the large-scale scene that does not involve any PvP.

    Damage sponge enemies make the whole game exceptionally slow and boring - no matter if it's solo or group content.

    I'd give it a (second) try if the devs switched concept to faster arcade gameplay.

    Thank you for your time!

    The PVE content of the game is ONLY FARMING / GATHERING.

    There are some YOU vs MONSTERS kind of thing, Expeditions, Random Dungeons and now Solo Random Dungeons...

    BUT... and this is the big BUT...

    When they say SOLO random dungeon, it doesnt mean it is you alone in an instanced dungeon, it just means that it is easier for solo players to kill the mobs there.

    The problem is that the SOLO dungeon works as the regular dungeon, people can still go in there, kill you in the middle of a boss fight and get YOUR loot and the bosses loot.

    So yeah, PVE content in this game is an illusion, dont be fooled by it.
    The game is unforgiving to new players and even though there are safe zones where people cannot kill you, they offer so little in contrast to the dangerous zones, that you might not even bother.
    Something like 1 hour of fame farming in a danger zone, is equivalent to 6-8 hours in a safe zone.
    Yeah, it really sucks and the devs said many times that they want the game to be high risk high reward.

    This update really disappointing me as when they said SOLO, I really thought it was just me and the mobs and no one else... but nope, everyone and anyone can enter your "solo dungeon" which is just a green portal in the world and all people have to do is click on it.

    Wow. Dungeons designed to be solo'd yet being open to PvP in a game where soloing in open PvP areas is potentially suicide seems like a feature that won't be utilized very much. Wonder how often other players will intrude into them.  If it gets bad enough, that's a freakishly bizarre way to waste development resources.

    Yes, total BS.  Nothing like being ganked in a solo dungeon today.

    Yeah I wont even look at it in its current format.

    It seems like everyone would've been happier if once you enter a solo dungeon the entrance disappears so no one else can go in.
    There are quite a few players in this game that only PVE and while this makes it easier to complete daily challenges I think the game could really benefit from a huge PVE only zone the size of black zones.

    For me the highlight of this update is the extra skill spells, think we need many more added in the future.

    They should open a large southern world that is all pve. The problem then would be all the complaining about gear being better or easier to get in the pve areas. Unless they made it so you couldn't use it in pvp areas.. whole new can there.
