I was still having a lot of fun doing my solo activities before the patch, but since they gutted those, I've been playing way, way less and soon I won't play at all. If a guild group has a genesis or lazarus run, I'll log on, but otherwise I have no reason to.
I was still having fun doing my solo chest runs and killing elite bosses solo and working my way through the rest of the weapon quests just for fun, but now they all have 10x HP and it's just tedious and boring. Myrkguard runs are zergier than ever before. I went on one last night for the first time since the patch and there was about 100 people there. The lag was so bad that everyone was a statue, chests took 30 seconds to loot, and waves of portal enemies took 60 seconds or longer to spawn. The portals took a good 5 minutes to close, and if you left that area you'd lose the reward.
And of course that would be what happened with the changes they made, but they are so incompetent they didn't realize that it would just make people zerg even harder. Before, people could split up, do smaller runs, and people like me could do solo runs for most of the parts (I killed things, didn't train). What pisses me off the most is seeing people say "WeLl I dOnT tHiNk yOu sHouLD bE aBlE tO sOlO lEvEl 65 eLiTes!" And why not, exactly? It wasn't exactly common, and you had to play perfectly for the entire fight or you'd die and have a big repair bill because nobody would be there to revive you. It was stupid to go solo, you get the same loot as a full party, take longer, and it's far riskier. But it was fun, and that's gone now, so fuck you AGS.
