PLEASE stop adding tasks that require party play
Season 2 is largely a step in the right direction for the game, but in the hour and a half since launch I've run into a glaring issue. Absolutey no one wants to do a challenge in a party and there are at least 2 new tasks which require co-op.
I understand that the game is an MMO, so you want to encourage players to interact with each other. I don't have a problem with that and I always play in an open party anyways.
It seems the vast majority of the playerbase wants to play the game completely alone. I have not had one person join my party today, despite the new OTL challenges and co-op tasks. I have joined 6 open parties that stated "In a challenge" for the player status, and every single one of them left the party or the game after completing their challenge.
I believe the problem lies in how slow co-op challenges are. The 10 second startup timer and victory screen means completing challenges sometimes takes twice the amount of time. This has led many, including myself, to never want to do challenges in a party because the increased rewards aren't substantial enough for the time wasted.
So please either streamline the co-op experience or just stop adding tasks requiring co-op.
