Visible Solo Game Non Existent - Allow Unrestricted 1st Teleport to "Solo Zone"

Solo zone was a nice idea. Unfortunately it is empty 100% of the time. Please remove the required death at the solo zone in order to use the teleport feature. Allow unrestricted TP to solo zone.

this would be pretty easily exploited, unfortunately. All any group would need to do would be to port, then for their group once they're there for easy farming.

portable for solo only and for those who have not been in a grp for 30 min

Agreed.

Good idea though, for sure. Right now the zones are not used at all pretty much.

the duel zone has been fun on the occasion, im not the most excited about a duel club thats rolling 24/7 seems ripe for abuse in win trading but im not totally against it either. the real problem w/ this is the lame ass groups that run up and just clean it out. itll be about 20 minutes after the change that ppl will be shit talking the groups farming the solo zone on the forums

I ask me, why given´t a hastener for solo zone but give for smallgroup zone?

im not a big fan of duels too but yeah occasionally that would be cool, e.g. when you met someone several times a day and all fights got added, would be cool to have at least one clean fight to show who is the boss

Eh, I kinda like it as is. I don't want it to end up being that solos effectively never have to move outside of the solo zones. They're not that hard to get to safely anyway.

I think them being empty has more to do with people not knowing about them. They're one of Broadsword's additions, I believe, and a lot of players here are probably from before Broadsword. I certainly didn't know about the solo zones until I saw a video of someone using a porter there.

It is not extremely difficult either to use them how they work now :
* You can port to your realm controlled keep close to the solo porter, and all 3 solo zones are interconnected.
The ride on speed 1 without sprint is less than 1 minute.

The only difficulty would be when your realm doesn't own the keeps near your realm's solo zone.
I find it actually a good incentive for joining RVR (realm) to reclaim the teleport, rather than go soloing. To me, it makes sense.

I agree with above comment that it is good that people have to run out of solo zone from time to time (to get speed for instance) and also that very few people know them which is may be the reason why they are not used. When i small man i always use the smallmen porters, and am surprised how many times people are surprised there is such possibiliy to teleport. This is very convenient.

Personally, i use the solo zones exclusively for the teleporter when i solo (because i have boat sickness), and then move to another place. It's also a very good shortcut to get from one realm to another one. Honestly, i don't see the point to stay within the vicinity of the solo zone, except may be for certain classes, but which ? Everytime i met someone there, they were just standing at the teleporter, either AFK or jumping like crazy when they see a solo approaching, looking for a duel. This isn't my vision of how a fight should go, so i usually ignore them and just teleport where i planned initially

Sometimes i attempt to use them for a retreat zone in order to be able to port back directly, but usually, on unbalanced fights, with no speed, as a visible, you (at least i) don't have time to run back withing the zone.

No expers and taskers in solo zone, so no rps.

I can count on 1 hand, true 1v1 warriors. Others are just edgy stealthers waiting to vulture on ez kills or add othets fight.

1v1 tournaments could be nice tough, and would bring more motivation.
