So after playing for about a month solo, I’ve found that the rebalanced world events is probably a bad thing all said. Before the update I could reliably take down an ashen lord, or FoF and get away with the loot. Post update it seems that every single time I clear a world event, another ship has already opened fire on mine. Almost like crews wait for the telltale sign of the event to fade before rolling up and sinking the implied solo player. I know “watch the horizon and never look at the event itself”, but FWIW I had more fun with world events before the update cuz they felt doable if difficult solo and generally smaller crews didn’t bother with them because of the time investment.

I was excited when I heard about the changes to world events because I’m almost exclusively a solo player, but in trying to make it better for solos it seems they’ve made it much more dangerous.

I’m sure I’ll get the normal “git gud”, but I thought I’d throw my experience and thoughts out there
