[Heroic 4] The Shroud's Last Stand

Question

Ok so, for those that don't know about this heroic; The Shroud's Last Stand is the final quest for the macrobinocular story line. I'm here today to say that I've done this story line many times in the first year or so of it being available and it was great, I loved every second of it and its' counterpart, the seeker droid story. However, I was recently feeling a bit nostalgic a few days ago and decided to undertake the story line again. I arrived at the end, being this heroic, and quickly realized/remembered that 4 people is required to be able to progress further throughout the Shroud's base. Well, I have spent 4 days looking for people to do this with me and I could only find 1 person who was willing and although I praise them for the effort, 2 people can't do a 4 person job.

Things like this that no one wants to do anymore except for maybe 1 or 2 people, that makes it hard for those 1 or 2 people to enjoy themselves reliving content that they love. There has to be something that can be done to fix this dilemma. There used to be heroic 4's all over the galaxy, but they all got changed to heroic 2's. So that being said, can we maybe make this particular heroic a bit more "less people" friendly? I am not going to be able to find 4 people to do this heroic. If that's the case, then that means I can't get my permanent macrobinoculars. How will I be able to venture the galaxy to complete the achievements of finding the MCR droids. This is unacceptable!

Please for the love of nostalgic players, do something!

I agree.&nbsp; I would definitively like to see them able to be solo'd or just require one other person.

I would love to get this quest out of my log. It has been there for years. What a relief when I was able to do Alchemy of Evil during a Gree event long ago by asking in chat.

And to think I still need to do it on the Pub side too... Something needs to be done, whether a weekly or daily, anything. Reward people who don't need the quest done.

I finally managed to get both Heroic 4s done on both Factions not too long ago ...over the course of a few years. Mind you, I wasn't actively going out of my way to find a group, but still. It'd be nice to be able to solo these, or at least require only one other person. I know the Dreadseed Heroic is doable without four, but definitely not the Macrobinocular one. To be clear, I don't mind grouping up with others, but the community is pretty stale when it comes to PvE content. It's why I dropped my sub. I wish this game had guilds that would get together to do achievement runs for these as well as MM flashpoints, Uprisings, Operations, Chapters, and other activities that require a group, but most guilds just care about Conquest.

Wanting to rush content and for you to spam the space bar cause an extra 3 seconds to at least read whats being said means their hearts will explode in neck beard rage.

I know Im replying to a Very old post but... Did they ever get this to be able to be done solo?&nbsp; Theres no way 3 other ppl will ever be available at this point Maka'volo was hard enough (about 10 tries - Im not the best player) but then to be stymied by a non-fighting mechanic?&nbsp; With the quest THIS old I cant see where adding a solo mechanic to this would be detrimental to the game?
