Solo'ing on AoC will be interesting for sure

I started with WoTLK and have played so many games since.. genre defining games.. it feels like AoC is a grouping of the best parts of so many other games before it including what makes gamers feel proud of what they have.

On Ark: Survival Evolved, I played since the very start of EA many years ago.. really hard, got trolled a few times on PVE lol but it was addictive because it was hard but not impossible. Getting a lvl 150 giga (dinosaur) today is nothing, getting a lvl 90 giga back then was server best.

There were very few guides so I had to get smart, really think everything out.. a lot of moments where I was physically shaking because the consequences of if I died were really really bad. And then meeting those goals.. I still remember them to this day, same with WoW.. the most balls-to-the-wall moments I remember the most. Both hating and loving the game for putting me through that lol

What I hate about current Ark is how insanely easy it is on official to get top stat dinos.. or on WoW a similar situation of 'hero in a day if you pay' shit. Being godlike to me is boring, I like the struggle.

I think that's what AoC will bring. Can you chill in the game? Yeah, probably but for most players they're playing it for action, for fun, for memories.. I think with how you obtain gear, especially end game gear - it's going to take some serious strategy and a lot of gameplay for solo's but it'll be fun af

**Edit:**

>Comparing an MMO (AoC) with a survial (+building) game (Ark) does not work that good, two completely different genres

Never suggested AoC is like Ark lol Of course it's not

I made that point in regard to difficulty of solo'ing and overcoming the odds
