I also would like them to add private/solo play to all game modes. I miss that a lot.
@asabaida I would LOVE ❤️ it if they did that! I did so much private play in GW2 that I was addicted to it and would really like it to be in this game! I used it to complete most of my quests back in GW2 and it would really help with daily and character challenges for everyone in BFN! I completely agree with you there! That being said, I still played in multiplayer with other players and enjoy that as well!
- @asabaida We have been asking for this since launch. No news whatsoever.
Really sucks on console where you need PS Plus/ Xbox Live to play online. When people pay $39.99 CAD for a game, they should get some offline functionality with the game, not have to pay an additional $69.99 CAD to access what is in multiplayer. @YeetYeetGw2
Nope not a word... nothing... nista... zero... nada.... crickets.... total rubber ear treatment.
The silence about the possibility of the introduction of private/solo play in game modes has been one of my bugbears since the beginning....
My worry is that they think they have this covered with the Battle chests... where you can fight different foe and choose a level of difficulty. Sadly however Battle Chests are not the same thing at all, the variety, choices are super limited and do not in any make up for what has been lost.
Gw2 was my first game that I played for more than a couple of weeks, it totally captured me and that was mainly because of the private/solo play options... I have spent hours and hours and hours in Gw2 amusing myself, it enabled me to explore, learn and discover things without the pressures and chaos of Pvp playing. A hugely important part of the game in my opinion.
Now years later I play both Pvp and Pve but honestly while I have fun in Pvp... I have to be in the mood for it.
Private/solo play has been brought up in different forums, here, Discord, Reddit etc so I am sure the Devs know that many people are missing this type of play and especially those who never play Pvp (of all ages) for many different reasons....
some parents with kids do not want their smaller children involved in Pvp and with good reason when you see the reports of rude/abusive/bullying etc going on sometimes.
The Pve areas are awesome for sure ❤️ but sadly do not make up for the lack of private play in different game modes... we used to have so much fun setting up matches and playing with friends... and on our own... or solo.
So yet again my fingers are crossed that this will be addressed soon.
Please Mr Popcap 😃- @asabaida Yes, all of that! As great as the PvE areas, quests etc are, the solo Ops & Battle Chests are no substitute for the choice we had in GW2.
No map choice alone makes it boring - you only have two options for playing plants or zombies & one of those is the same for both.
Battle chests may give the chance to play Gnome Bomb, Surburbination etc. but you can't choose AI team-mates & they are configured against certain types of opposition - I don't necessarily want an entire team of Cacti anymore than I want to face only pirates, for example.
And all that choice of mixing things up with crazy settings, like speed boost, anti-gravity & so on!
These are just a few of the things we miss & would dearly love to have 🙏 @asabaida I am the same way - have to be in the mood for PvE. It’s sad to me because multiplayer has become less and less attractive through the years due to issues of mic abuse, taunting, dirty messages, glitch/exploit abusers, profanity in public/voice chat, clans who lobby smash, kids who target, etc.... many of these issues are fueled by Team Swap.
Needs Ops v3 and Solo/Private play badly.
GW2 Ops made 4 players feel like a TEAM. BfN feels like a race for xp in which nobody talks/they‘re all individuals/little teamwork to be found. 😢
