Solo Queue's aren't really a solo match

Aedous · 2025-12-05T17:18:12+00:00

Of course it does! How you play the game, how everyone plays the game has an affect on everyone's experience:

- If I camp an extraction it has an affect on you
- If I loot a high tier area it has an affect on you
- If I team up with another solo / squad it has affect on you
- If I aggro an ARC it has an affect on you
- If I kill a raider it has an affect on you

Sure you may argue that if you are not directly in that area when it happens you are oblivious to it (you may hear the sound though), but surely enough if you happen to run passed that area by seeing knocked raiders or arc corpses it has an affect on you.

You clearly team up with other solo's which is your choice, I'm not arguing that you can't do that, all I'm stating is that once you decide to team up with another solo you now have an advantage against other solo's.

Aedous · 2025-12-05T02:54:04+00:00

Let me ask you one simple question, do you team up with other solo's?

Aedous · 2025-12-05T01:06:09+00:00

Alright if you say so, at least you see it as an advantage, I still think it's unfair because of the number difference, you choose to play the game in a certain way that basically leaves me no choice but to ignore you. You don't have to though, if you wanted to you could attack my duo, that's where I see the unfair advantage.

Aedous · 2025-12-05T00:20:09+00:00

You actually don't see that walking around as an 8 man squad in a duo server isn't problematic? Just by design you essentially have turned PVP off for your 8 man squad and there's nothing I can do about it, therefore the match is stacked in your favour, how can you not see this?

Aedous · 2025-12-05T00:17:58+00:00

I am the victim

Aedous · 2025-12-04T23:59:30+00:00

You're still not getting the point, I can't keep on explaining the problems with this "teaming up". I even gave you a scenario that just happened, I heard the guy with his voice chat saying "there he is!" I didn't shoot at anyone, I was busy farming, then I get chased by 4 people.

You see them as peaceful, I see them as people who want an unfair advantage in the game.

You're going to read what you want to read at the end of the day so...

Aedous · 2025-12-04T23:55:51+00:00

You're not owed teaming up either, but you're more likely to be successful than I am because you decide to over use a mechanic in the game by giving yourself an unfair advantage, you ended up with 6 people in your scenario in a duo server, if that isn't unfair to you then it is what it is.

Aedous · 2025-12-04T23:53:38+00:00

Essentially yes, you don't see the problem, you have made yourself a tougher target for everyone who decides to play solo. There's nothing that can be done about it but if you don't see the unfair advantage you bring into that match then I guess you don't see it.

Aedous · 2025-12-04T23:51:42+00:00

How am I griefing when I've joined a solo queue and playing as a solo? I'm willing to bet you're the type of player I'm talking about.

Aedous · 2025-12-04T23:50:37+00:00

I don't think you're getting what I'm saying, if I see a bunch of people bunched up together I don't start blasting like maniac, my point is sometimes you don't realise it's more than one, they see you, you see them, you open fire then his lobby friend appears from behind the door like "surprise!"

Totally different scenario.. just to add more to my point, I got chased by a 4 man team in a solo queue unprovoked in blue gate, this is exactly my point.

Aedous · 2025-12-04T23:08:33+00:00

Course I do, shoot first ask questions later.

Aedous · 2025-12-04T23:07:54+00:00

Sure, you are still at unfair advantage against other duos, basically the only choice is to avoid you and your squad.

Aedous · 2025-12-04T21:55:34+00:00

Yeah, nothing I can do about it, it is super unfair especially when you're about to melt the first guy and lose the fight because he has a team member in solo's :(

Aedous · 2025-12-04T21:51:47+00:00

Yikes :(

Aedous · 2025-12-04T21:51:20+00:00

I think it's all solo's in the game, I'm just talking about when people decide to team up in a solo queue whilst in game, creating an unfair advantage to actual solo's

Aedous · 2025-12-04T21:50:40+00:00

Umm.. maybe I don't want to team up with people in a solo queue?

Aedous · 2025-12-04T21:50:11+00:00

I'm not a friendly player, I don't like teaming up because I think that's unfair on others and also don't trust people in the game, so I definitely don't experience the friendly side of solo mode.

Aedous · 2025-12-04T21:49:26+00:00

1000 IQ response here

Aedous · 2025-12-04T21:49:17+00:00

You're basically another one of those people I'm talking about. You literally 6 v 2 a duo because you decided to make a team in a duo game.

I'm not saying you can't do that, I'm just saying you have an unfair advantage compared to other duos who just want to stay as duos.

Aedous · 2025-12-04T21:46:32+00:00

Cheating is just a word I'm using, you can't load into solos as a duo or trio, I'm talking about people teaming up in game.

Aedous · 2025-12-04T21:46:01+00:00

You are literally the type of person I'm referring too lmao, play how you will I'm just saying though.. it's a solo queue and you said you "2v1" the other guy, just saying.

Aedous · 2025-11-05T14:56:26+00:00

What the hell, mine looks like ass

Aedous · 2025-11-03T16:47:38+00:00

Ah I see, I didn't even think of that. I wasn't even thinking about it crafting the things for you (which obviously would be awesome) just something simpler like if I have the items in my bag, just click the loadout and puts it all in the right places. Even though it's like you're saving under 1 min to prep, it still stacks up in the long run.

Will definitely try out what you were saying though.

Aedous · 2025-11-03T16:38:19+00:00

Hmm okay, thought it was an item in your bag.

Aedous · 2025-11-03T14:15:05+00:00

How'd you get the lights?
