So, I watched this video, I play solo a lot, and to be honest… While solo life is absolutely rough, this video is not showing why being solo is rough. IC/GP are known hot spots and dangerous. Unless you are small and fast or VERY confident in your fighting skills, you should not be there as a solo. Period. Every example, you are attacking a group that drastically out numbers you, without paying attention to who is on what side, causing EVERYONE to want to fight you, and even then, it’s not reasonable to expect a single iggy to take on 3 miras, or multiple rexes. You are not attacking one person and then being jumped- you are initiating a fight with multiple people your size or larger and then dying, because it’s a group larger than you, composed of things that could kill you even in a 1v1. You also don’t take your opportunity to retreat. Once you crossed the water, you could’ve gotten some stam, ran, and hid, or used your knockback tail to force the mira back into the water, but instead on low health you face tanked them and died. Also, half this video you aren’t even solo. You have a lambeo, who you don’t stick by to fight alongside, or keep in range of their calls. Iggy is also a pure brawler, yet you play very defensively with your tail, even against smaller enemies that would fold to a single barrage, and then chase things that outspeed you for significant distances instead of fleeing to run from bigger threats, or standing your ground to regen stam.
TLDR: Don’t go to hotspots and pick fights with 5+ people and expect to win. Don’t group with someone and then leave them in the dust. If you have the chance to flee and are low, don’t go back in to fight.
i mean you are not wrong but alot of the player base that has left is because there is bearly any room for solos to get the pvp they want without fighting impossible odds
Man just said everything I wanted to say, if you dont wanna be killed in groups, dont attack those groups in the first place, try talking in local or even move to realism servers where you can do 1v1
as a PvPer im not here just to sit around and treat this game as a dino RP i get it that some people do and there's nothing wrong with that. i just want action and its hard to get that as a solo without being ganged up on by 4+ other people
@@FlightXstarYeah, there’s definitely an issue of it being hard to find fights as a solo, and I’m praying 200 player servers fix them, this just isn’t an example of those issues. Solos struggle because the grouping system doesn’t discourage clanning, because it’s super easy to log in a large group and have them show up quickly as hatz-struthi-alio, because the player population isn’t appropriately spread out, noise in this game is borked so you may not hear a clan until it’s on top of you, half the time you attack a guy who is solo he has a friend that can log in super quickly, etc. This video just isn’t an example of those issues though
What did you expect to happen? Not trying to be rude at all. You just not only went into the hotspots, you started fights with large groups. During both fights in ic you went in attacking everyone you could reach, so of course they gonna go after you. Barging in a fight and picking whatever is lowest is not exactly a good idea if you can't run away or don't know when to stop. It's also a bit strange, that you went in, killed a few people who didn't even expect it, and than surprised that you got killed by the whole group after that.
As a fellow mud box player, i apologize for those 3 stooges in the beginning. They don't represent us. I just waltz around like i own the place, spit on people and die two minutes later for my transgressions like a normal mira player.
I've played solo for over 2 years. I've now moved onto a realism community server. I would say I was solo 99% of the time. It's a rough life out there on officials.
It is so infuriating at times! I now call out the homecave campers/mix packers for 1v1’s. Cowards if they don’t LOL! I’ve never lost a 1v1 vs those mixpacking scrubs.
I used to play on these "realism" servers. Worse than officials, and on officials I don't have to worry about some stupid rules. Those servers don't know what the actual realism is
I don't really see why anyone would want to quit PoT - if you keep getting ganged by groups then find a server where massive mixpacking groups aren't allowed or one where the consequences for getting merc'd aren't as high.
My only criticism is that you went into a hot spot. So that's expected. But otherwise, I completely agree. Devs are ruining solo play completely, they claim to be against what's happening with these toxic DC groups. Yet, they keep buffing and favoring them and their thought process (hive mind). THEY KEEP FORCING US SOLOS INTO GROUPS!!!! What if we don't want to group???!! I don't want to group!! I don't like being with others, it's awful! What devs should do is buff group and solo play, players should choose what they wanna do, not be forced to do something. Forcing players into something is NEVER good for the health of a game. It pushes players away. So I guess, congratulations are in order devs? Hm? You've pushed many players away from the game or into community servers. Gets your stuff together. I've been playing this game for too long, I care for it too much, I've made plenty of good friends in the game or the Discord server. So I will be very vocal about this issue. While, I do understand there's nothing to do so that's what pushes players doing these things. Mainly just to spite others and push them away from the game or into community servers. At the same time: surviva; weak (don't survive) move into community servers. But I make it work and push through it, no matter how hard rn it is for solos. I try to enjoy it no matter how boring it is. Most importantly, I stay away from hot spots. I still get enough engagement that isn't too excessive for me. Oh, do I give an honorary mention to whiners? Devs keep nerfing dinos that don't need such excessive nerfs thanks to you. Are you happy? :) Get good, learn to fight, learn vanilla rosters weaknesses and exploit them.
Lemme guess, you, like me, are a type of those who get bored after growing dino into adult. Because the game lack of end game feature, like grow your dino into elder or something like that, this "boringness" is killing you from the inside. All you can do now is just fighting to keep you playing the game. Finally you had enough of this "boringness" that keep killing you from the inside, you decided to go to Hotspots where all the actions happened. You brave yourself and take a first step to any nearest Hotspot. You have arrive. YOU DIED, of course. I used to be like you, it makes me hate the game, until i found the the death match servers on community servers. Mostly i play in this servers now. I realized that PoT is a fighting dino game. Unlike the Isle which focused on its survival aspect, PoT is focused on group fight/battle/war.
Damn, seeing 6 rexes in one area is a *bit* too many. That's why I prefer to play on Semi-Realism servers, because all of those rexes would have to fight eachother before any other prey. I'd love for Beaky to return so I could make them mad for at least half an hour.
And this is exactly why I’m always a solo apex or a solo player in general, groups are just so either very bad or very good, and it’s always the bad packs I seen, if also prefer not to go against packs myself, but you my man are brave, and i respect that
I’m glad to see more people running block, it’s very helpful in a fight scenario where your opponent uses a charge attack or a attack that gives them a long cool-down . Blocking gives you a MASSIVE advantage by landing extra hits. You’re also a great Iggy player. Earned a new sub :)
PoT just isnt a solo kind of game, at least not on official servers, it's a very similar thing that happens in DoD, if you wanna be a solo and succeed you shouldn't go into hotspots or instigate fights with clans. PoT just is not a game made in mind for individual players and it's more than clear it's staying that way, if you want genuinely fair fights or JUST pvp, waiting for pvp game modes to come out or playing deathmatch servers is your best bet. As PoT generally as a game will prioritize group play and survival aspects above all else, so what your looking for just isn't going to happen in base game sadly. A large chunk of the PoT community, me included play it as a more relaxed dinosaur sim and that's what it's best enjoyed as at least atm. The combat is meant to compliment the survival not the other way around and that is just what the game is focused on above other forms of play for the time being. (This is seen with the implementation of nesting and promise for more updates non combat centered, they're now focused on implementing features that give players more to do after adult instead of just combat) Overall, all I have to say is that PoT just probably isnt made for you in mind, but in the future there may be smaller game modes for those like you, but only time will tell.
I pretty much only play Community servers anymore. The mega groups ruin it, you can't even have fun combat. I play officials only when I want to troll with the new Deinonychus. Other then that the groups are so deranged they will hunt you to the edge of the map lol
I agree to the large groups but- you went to ic attacking everything for a reason and I felt like you knew you could've easily kept knocking the miras back in the water with your tail even at low health 😅
Yeah, I know it’s impossible to survive. Solo on officials going to like community servers that’s the only way. Unfortunately, hopefully some updates are able to fix that.
@Jinx-z2g officials horrible waste of time. Just growing to die with boring few dinos. And its takes 12 hours to grow while you can grow in 30 mins in community servers with much more better creatures for free
Bro randomly attacked someone and is surprised hes getting ganged up on. If u want fair pvp then pick a fair fight Also why did he attack an already weak player at 5:23 ? If i saw that i would definitely gang up on you because you’re just attacking weak players Also! Its incredibly easy to make friends in this game. If youre struggling solo, then find someone to defend/protect and they will return the favor. I unintentionally made so many friends playing

miras are fun in groups, wtf are u talking about lol

just take a break for a few months the devs put in so much work updating everything to me the games still in Beta but they work fast

play on a realism server like nat hist and you'll avoid half of the playerbase being in grand plains/impact crater
Yeah, I know it’s impossible to survive. Solo on officials going to like community servers that’s the only way. Unfortunately, hopefully some updates are able to fix that.
Impossible to survive if you go to hot spots 🙄
Skill-less brain dead apex mega packs like those guys are the reason I like to play rex solo, they make rex look horrible
Officials massive waste of time
Community servers are a waste of space
PLUS some folks wanna play on officials no matter what (me)
@Jinx-z2g officials horrible waste of time. Just growing to die with boring few dinos. And its takes 12 hours to grow while you can grow in 30 mins in community servers with much more better creatures for free
It’s a pvp game….
L excuse, go play fortnite
@ hbu go play that shitty game lmao don’t play a pvp game with no rules if your going to get mad about it
Why is the graphics shit? Is this how it is played on mobile?
The graphics aren’t too bad, probably just low settings or how the video came out. And as someone who started on mobile, it’s much worse.
@@BermudaHawk47 Ohh i see
