Progression as a solo player

in PvE Discussion
I know this is a social game, but every mmo have a lot of "solo" players, so i ask: is it possible to progress in the game this way? I'm mostly casual, i don't wanna run really hardcore dungeons, but i wish i could try them all, like ssnm and manglemire in the next update. Should i try to ims for those or create my own lfg to learn, i really don't have any idea...what's the shortest way without a guild?

    For some dungeons using lfg is better than using ims. You can either join a group or start your own.

    It's definitely possible, but depends on how much time you're willing to dedicate. It took me way longer than my friends who grouped up, to get to endgame. Terms of learning, guides are always good. Both lfg and ims are fine (as ^ said lfg occasionally better). Just remember it IS a social class and some-most random strangers won't be as good as you'd hope (making it possible to waste a lot of time, effort, and gold) and won't be as polite as well.

    be rich

    spam IM

    but if you mean the true solo it is only be rich as kamizuma

    Level up is completely soloable. Starter end game is a mix of solo and Instance matching. True end game needs a team. I can't recommend LFG if you are a starter player. Too many people wanting only veterans there. So if you intend on doing end game, and I mean, SSNM and up, you should start planning about joining a guild or having a group of friends. As you said, this is an mmo and as far as I know, no self respecting mmo out there would grant full end game to solo players.

    I think i'm gonna try ims to learn then. I know im gonna need some patience for myself and my teammates, but i'm glad it's possible at least. As i said, i have no interest in full end game content, i just wanna do nm of harder dungeons once in a while. I don't want to commit with a guild if i'm not available when they need me and that's the case most of the times. Thanks guys for the help and detailed answers

    Don't worry about being available for a guild on a certain day. Many guilds out there are casual enough to allow people to come in and out, and good enough to do NM content easily. So I'd still suggest you to give them an opportunity.

    Yeah. Says me, the guildless foreveralone pleb. >.<

    It takes time. Also, depends on people you will get on IM or LFG. Almost all the time I'm soloing every dungeon and battleground. I would like to get in a static or some small, but active guild. I like to know people I'm running something with, but can't find any for some time now. Well, LFG is my friend always :3

    Another thing you could do is make a LFG and say something like "SSNM learning run" so that you can get a group to learn with. Occasionally a skilled player might even join to help (helpful veterans DO exist!) so you can avoid those who don't want to teach you.

    What server are you on? I would be happy to help if we are on the same one.

    Sounds like endgame might be easier with the new solo dungeons being released tomorrow now, too.

    Probably stay away from forums mr. solo player.
  • ForrestgunnerForrestgunner ✭✭
    @cheekibreeki thanks for the offer :) I play on AV!

    I did some decent runs on manglemire already with IMS, got the dungeon after some deaths and derps, now i can go for the next step and look for a lfg that doesn't require +15 lol.

    @BOBBYYYY ? How is this related with anything?

    I play on AV as well, I often put up lfg parties and I don't mind accepting newer players. My main is a mystic by the name of Karlanski.Koth

    Feel free to send me a friend request or join my parties if you see me in lfg.

    Playing this game "solo" will burn you out faster than you can ever realize. I came back to Tera in March after not playing since Sept 2012 and it has made me hate this game. I will never do another Guilleglade again. Island of Dawn is a cesspool, I never want to go there again. I grinded my [filtered] off to full +12 T9 with the correct affects as well as min maxing 3 keen/2 keen jewellery sets all rolled correctly. My grind goal is close, I need about 25k gold to buy +16 inners and the gold nerf this week has made me not care.

    Fun, challenging combat, ridiculous grind. I hate Tera now and if you aren't already in a competent guild, willing to help it's members become better - just. Quit. Now.
