    Default I can't play anymore. The game is broken/too tough. Please Fix Swamps.

    I'm sorry I can't play anymore. The game is so unenjoyable since the swamp release. The swamp is way too hard in difficulty compared to the previous expansions. I am a enchantress and I can't even solo one unnamed mob.

    Groups are stupid and can take down one boss by rushing it several times with several wipes and people disband after the first boss.

    The difficulty is tuned at least 5 levels above where it should be. I insta die on first mob hit. I'm an enchantress. 1 hit kills are no fun when you are completely buffed.

    I'm level 31. Buffs are up. Shield is up. If shield is up and i get hit with an attack i lose my shield and 80% of my health and have to spam both potions to stay alive. As soon as my shield drops I'm dead... and that is just with one mob.

    That's what pugs and guilds and friends are for. Imo, soloing is dumb, unless you're a really high level. It's called an MMORPG for a reason.

    Maybe you could solo as a 35 Enchantress, but should not be able to at 31. Were you able to solo in Mega Maze? Even at level 25? 30? If you want to solo, try playing as a warrior- it takes a while, but you can take the damage.

    A challenge is fun. No point in gaining items if I don't feel like I actually accomplished something.

    Easy would be boring. I love the difficulty, and the funs always with playing in groups.
    Interracting with one another making new friends
    that's what mmo's are all about

    just suck it up and enjoy, this games amazing how it is.

    The game is supposed to scale difficulty based on the number of players in the zone (among other factors). With the swamps, I can certainly see how our difficulty adjustments would make it too difficult for soloing. I'm not sure we are going to change it just yet, as most players seem to like the difficulty.

    Please don't change the difficulty!!! The game is supposed to be harder as you advance in levels, not easier. Teamwork should be encouraged (guilds, trading, multiple chat windows, pvp, etc). Therefore it should become harder and harder to solo endgame content. Not impossible for the determined but tough enough to wish for a few friends.

    You can also just go to an easier zone while you level up to 33. The top end zone isn't generally the best place to be trying to solo.

    It is tougher and with way lower drop rates I don't find the game near as enjoyable either.
    But I'm trying to hang in there.

    Okay, you don't like the map, you don't like the fact you die, so re-spec and adjust yourself to the map.

    I think we all have to keep in mind that this is an iphone game and not a full blown PC online game which makes for different dynamics. For this iphone game, solo’ing is an important part of this because not everyone sits at home connected to wifi playing with others. Before we all gang up on cloudstrike we need to think of ppl who don’t spend 5hrs a day talking to other players and getting groups together for farming or playing.

    In this respect, I think this game should be evenly distributed in terms of group and solo play. Dorps, PvP, etc aside, I personally think this game should be fun for solo’ers meaning a solo mage should be able to clear the last level maps alone, if not then why would someone who only enjoys solo’ing want to pay for the expansions? Surely not 100% of the community only plays in groups.

    I ask you players or Devs, if a fully optimized Mage all buffed and geared u with pinks…. Can they solo the entire Swapms? If so how long do u think it would take to pull each and every bad guy out and kill him…. Would take hours and hours and deaths upon deaths… Which also brings up the topic that not all characters are equal.

    In a game like this, you have different classes with different pros and cons. Given this, not one class should be stronger then the other if all things are equal.. we all agree right? To observe the strengths and weaknesses of each class we should observe them each in a controlled environment and see if they perform the same outcome…. Which is finishing the dungeon. The so called “controlled environment” is the swapms (as it’s the hardest map)… the question we need to ask is… can all classes perform to the same outcome.. if yes then the game classes are fairly balanced.. but clearly the answer is no meaning tanks and archers can solo the swamps and mages cannot… and brings us to my conclusion that Mage players will be frustrated and why not then everyone just plays bears???

    In conclusion, I agree the swamps are too difficult for solo Mages which for this small part of the community is very true and we shouldn’t be all aggressive towards cloudstrike.

    PS my opinion only so don’t be all tough guy and post insulting or condescending remarks.

    Thx, Inching

    Of course the characters are not all equal. They each have their own special abilities. You don't see a tank getting to heal himself, but you also don't see a mage equipping armor and taking a lot of hits either (usually). Each class has their own set of talents, and the talents of a mage were not built for soloing.
